Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse: a Three Button Mouse without Buttons

A three-button mouse that doesn’t actually have any buttons sounds like an oxymoron or some sort of geeky riddle. However, that is exactly what Logitech has created with its new Ultrathin Touch Mouse T630 and T631.

These two mice are absolutely identical in functionality – the difference between the two is that the T630 is black and the T631 is white, though Logitech is targeting the T630 to Windows 8 users, and the T631 to Mac users. Logitech offers software to support gestures for both operating systems.

Since the smooth top of the sleek and portable mouse has no buttons, it can be used for multitouch navigation. The mouse connects to your computer using Bluetooth and features sleek lines, brushed aluminum, and a thin profile that makes it highly portable. It can also be paired to multiple devices and can switch between those devices with the flick of a switch thanks to Logitech’s Easy-Switch Technology. The sounds like the perfect mouse for on-the-go types who value looks and performance.

Both the T630 and T631 can be pre-ordered for $69.99(USD).

Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse Runs 125 Hours on Single AA Battery

Gaming peripherals are great because they are built to last long, since gamers aren’t always delicate with their devices. They also pack plenty of features, making them more useful than just plain-Jane peripherals.

The Logitech G602 gaming mouse comes with 11 programmable buttons, which is pretty sweet. The design of the mouse fits the hand neatly, and it has got a 2500 dpi optical sensor, and the ability to change sensitivity on the fly.

Contrary to typical gaming mice, this one is also wireless and it will run for up to 125 hours on a single AA battery. With 2 AA batteries in place, the mouse should run at least 250 hours. Plus, there’s an enduro mode that will make them last for over 1,400 hours!

The Logitech G602 gaming mouse will cost $79.99(USD) and will be available in September on shelves, is available for pre-order now over on Logitech’s website.

TREWGrip Keyboard & Mouse Has Its Keys at the Back: Tush Typing

The computer keyboard has been a staple tool for both work and play for decades now, but it’s still one of the most uncomfortable devices to use. Its descendant, the touchscreen keyboard, is even worse. An unusual invention called TREWGrip wants to solve both the problem of ergonomics in desktop computing and the efficiency of typing in mobile devices. How? By putting the keys at the back.

The TREWGrip is a Bluetooth keyboard and air mouse. Inventor Mark Parker split the traditional keyboard arrangement into two halves and then arranged it horizontally at the rear of the device. Ideally this setup – along with its wireless capability – provides a more comfortable typing position because your arms remain close to your body. Because it’s also a mouse, you can lean back and maintain proper posture.

The familiar layout of the keys and the visual cues in front should help with the learning curve of using the TREWGrip. The suction pad in the middle holds mobile devices up to 5.3″ wide.

So how fast can you type on the TREWGrip? Parker and his company held a typing competition where seasoned touch typists were required to use the TREWGrip. The winner, Robert Price, typed 115 words per minute to win the contest. I dare you to type that fast on your touchscreen.

Pledge at least $249 (USD) on Kickstarter to get a TREWGrip as a reward. They’ll need to rally a lot of backers within a few days though; as of this writing they’ve only raised $15,794 of their $100,000 target. I don’t know how hard it is to learn how to type on the TREWGrip, but other than that I would love to use such a device on my desk. But on the go? I think it needs to be more portable – thinner and perhaps foldable – especially since it was meant to be used with smartphones and small tablets.

Updated Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse makes its way to North America retail stores

razer-ouroborosWe have seen the Razer Ouroboros in the past, but as with any hardware, even though it is considered to be the “best” there is in the market, having an updated version would make plenty of sense, as the hardware will still need to keep up with the times. I guess you can say this about the Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse, which is now available for purchase in North America. Just what kind of goodies does the menacing looking Razer Ouroboros come with right out of the box? We are looking at a highly customizable gaming mouse, sporting fully customizable ergonomics so that you can configure it to fit your hand comfortably, regardless of your hand shape, size or grip-style.

Apart from that, the mouse can also be custom configured using the adjustable arched palm rest according to the angle that you are most comfortable with. Looking more like something from the distant future, the Razer Ouroboros will also boast of a retractable back panel which can be set to any one of three positions, in addition to a quartet of interchangeable side panels, now how about that for a truly unique gaming mouse?

The Razer Ouroboros will make use of a cutting-edge 8200 dpi 4G laser sensor that is capable of accurately calibrating the mouse regardless of the surface, where it will also be able to provide improved tracking responsiveness as well as enabling users to customize lift-off tracking, creating precision control. Not only that, it comes with wireless capabilities that will feature 1000 Hz Ultrapolling between mouse and computer, where it makes sure that a user’s actuations will be instantly translated in a game so that you need not blame unresponsive hardware for your gaming failure, ever again. When working in its wireless mode, the Razer Ouroboros will run on a single rechargeable AA battery that is said to be able to last for at least a dozen hours of non-stop gaming action before requiring a recharge. The asking price for the Razer Ouroboros? $149.99 a pop.

Microsoft Sculpt desktop accessories offer health-centric ergonomic designs

Those who spend any significant amount of time every day at their desk know the discomfort that can result from an improper work setup, whether it be a stiff back or a pinched nerve. Such was reflected in a Healthy Computing Survey conducted by Microsoft, which it made available today to coincide with the launch […]

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Announced

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop AnnouncedMicrosoft is not involved solely in just software and operating systems, you know, as they too have a stake in the world of hardware, and the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is one of them. The Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop happens to be the latest evolution of Microsoft’s Natural line of ergonomic products, where the first of those rolled out approximately two decades back. The whole idea when designing the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop was this – to come up with something pleasing to the eyes, without sacrificing the ergonomics and functionality.

The Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is made up of the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard and the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, with the former boasting the now classic split layout (as a gamer, I hated that layout all those years ago, simply because it made the keys harder to reach in my FPS games for various weapons), but if you were to use it to type, I guess your fingers would glide over it as though they were dancing, and hopefully, increase your productivity along the way. Do expect the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop to hit the market later this month for $129.95, and you can also pick up the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse as a separate device for $59.95 a pop. [Press Release]
