Hasta La Gadget!

Take a look at the number of computer mice in the market – they are practically dime a dozen out there, and boy do they come in ever more ergonomic shapes and sizes. Here is something that will help you recall those fond memories of yore when you first started off in the world of computers, and having more than 256 colors on your monitor was considered to be a luxury item that you cannot afford. Enter the $17.99 Retro Computer Mouse and Mousepad Set – it is the perfect gift for those old school computer users.

This particular mouse and mousepad combo is definitely a blast from the past, where it is specially styled to look like an exact replica of your classic 1980’s desktop mouse. The mouse will feature a standard three button mouse, but thankfully, the manufacturer has decided to throw in a wheel for scrolling capability, otherwise I am quite sure it would not sell at all without that particular feature. Another piece of good news for you – the Retro Mouse does not require you to open the underside and clean all those lint from its rollers, since this is an optical mouse complete with a USB interface which will play nice with both Mac and Windows platforms.

SteelSeries has announced that it is now shipping a new gaming mouse called the SteelSeries Sensei [RAW]. The mouse comes in two versions including a glossy version and a rubberized version. The two versions of the mouse only differ in the covering on top. Either version of the mouse will sell for $59.99 and is available now.

The SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] differs from the previous SteelSeries Sensei gaming mouse in that the [RAW] version lacks the 32-bit ARM processor that the older Sensei about uses. The new mouse has professional grade laser sensor and an adjustable sensitivity range from 1 to 5700 CPI. The mouse has large DPE material feet on the bottom for smooth gliding action.

It also has a 6.5-foot anti-tangle black and white cord covered in braided nylon. Other features include bright white LED illumination in three zones that can be configured with different levels of pulsation. The mouse is designed to be ambidextrous for right or left-handed gamers.

What could be the king of all gaming mouses (or is that mice?) has arrived: TT eSports’ Black Element Cyclone Mouse. It’s sleek, it looks hella awesome – and get this: it’s got a fan and a customizable weight, too!

It might look strange at first, with the miniature 6,000 RPM fan positioned right at the very front. But once it dries the sweat off of your palms, then I doubt you’d have anything to complain about at that point.

Turn it over and then you’ll see that the mouse has weights that you can add or remove, depending on how much heft you’d like it to have. You know, so it moves just right, along with your movements.

The mouse offers a super-precise 6500DPI laser sensor, and switches rated at up to 5 million strokes. They’ll be available in 5 color schemes, and are coated with a rubber finish for optimal grip. You’ll also find 9 customizable macro keys, and on-board storage for up to 5 profiles per key. Now this is a serious mouse for a serious gamer. No final announcement on the price for the Black Element Cyclone yet, although it’s probably going to range from $100 to $130.

Now here is what we call a rather interesting device which you might want to look into – the $69.99 Stealth Touch Mouse. It might seem to be an electronic pebble of some sort, but this is actually a wireless mouse that comes with a touch-sensitive surface. Boasting a working range of 33 feet, the Stealth Touch Mouse does seem to be the ideal device when it comes to giving presentations. It works based on a plug and play premise, and will work irregardless of platforms – be it the PC, Mac, or Linux.

Computer mice have definitely come a long way ever since it was invented, and the Stealth Touch Mouse is part of a new generation of 2.4GHz wireless devices that boast of an all touch technology. There are no buttons to worry about, not need for a scroll wheel, nothing! All you need would be a touch-sensitive surface which is capable of recognizing preprogrammed fingertip movements. All simple gestures such as swipes, taps, and slides will be used to control the entire range of the mouse’s features. The Stealth Touch Mouse is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.

What do you do when you break a sweat from all that PC gaming? You use a mouse that has an external fan mounted on it, that’s what you do. Thermaltake quite literally wants to blow you away with the new Tt eSports Element Cyclone gaming mouse, which is the first mouse for gamers that has a unique outside fan on it, designed to bring some cool relief to sweaty gamer hands.

Other mouse models have previously come with built-in fans, but the Cyclone Edition is the first to feature an external fan, making it really stand out against the rest. And if your hand gets too cold or the fan becomes a bit of a nuisance at any time, it can be detached from the mouse whenever you want. The fan operates pretty quietly, just at an output of about 21.7 dB.

The 30-millimeter fan operates at up to 6,000 RPM, and because it has to support the fan, it doesn’t work wirelessly. While it sure is unique, the reality is that it may only be super effective at cooling the top of your hand and leaving your palm still pretty sweaty.

No pricing or information on global availability of the Cyclone gaming mouse has been provided by Thermaltake just yet.
