The Tylt Energy Backpack + Battery was made for geeks on the go

Tylt Energy Backpack
If you work online or with a lot of gadgets, chances are you want a backpack that can hold everything with an organized system for where things need to go. There are many backpacks out there that are only going for aesthetics, and look like they could only hold a laptop and a fun-size bag of M&Ms. If you are constantly on the move and need all of your gear to come with you, then you want something that looks professional and won’t make you worry about not having enough space for everything.

The Tylt Energy Backpack + Battery was made with the gadget-savvy in mind. You can charge three gadgets simultaneously thanks to the internal 10,500mAh lithium ion battery with in various configurations through the 7 pockets. That battery is capable of recharging your tablet once, and your phone four times over. You can even pass a cable outside of the backpack so you can charge your phone while it’s in your hand.

If you can remember to keep the backpack recharged whenever you’re near a wall outlet, car charger, or computer, then this could regularly be a lifesaver. The material this pack is made from is a high-quality ballistic nylon, and most of the places to store your laptop, sunglasses, and phone are lined with a soft material that will keep them scratch-free. In the back panel, there is a trolley slot, meaning you can slide this over your rolling luggage when going through an airport. If all this isn’t enough, there’s a pass-through for headphones near the pocket meant for your phone, as well as a pocket for headphones on the backpack strap for easy access. This certainly seems worth the $200 ($140 if you have Amazon Prime) price tag.

The Dart won’t let chunky laptop chargers weigh you down

Dart
New laptops seem to be coming out every week. They’re thinner, sleeker, and say they can do more than any other version out there. The biggest drawback with these things is having to use a charging cable that is attached to a big block of an adapter. They’re a nuisance to wrap after unplugging, so they often end up a tangled mess that only adds weight to your bag.

If you’d prefer to keep things as streamlined as possible, then you might like the idea of the Dart. This is the world’s smallest laptop adapter, and it can work just as well as what you have at home right now. This is a 65W charger that can fit in your pocket, which makes life for traveling professionals who frequently work online a whole lot easier. This can work with all major PC brands, and can keep its cool when in use.

This is available in blue, magenta, silver, gunmetal, or orange, and will cost around $89-110. It can charge devices while simultaneously juicing up your laptop without issue. To plug up your laptop, the people that are creating Dart named FINsix will provide the correct DC connector(s) with each adapter. This would be great for those who have to pay attention to how much weight they carry around, but otherwise, there’s no real point in tossing a hundred bucks for a smaller version of something you already have.

Available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter

QuNexus is an ultra-portable MIDI keyboard

qunexus
If you always have a song in your head and just so happen to know how to play a keyboard, then you likely wish there was a way to bring your mental creations into audible sounds. Not too long ago we saw a program called Imitone that could take any notes from humming or instruments and translate it into a composition. If you would prefer to have tactile feedback, or just want to improvise a little jam session, then having a small keyboard around would be useful.

The QuNexus is a smart sensor keyboard that can not only act as a mini/MIDI keyboard, but will allow you variance in your notes with the touch of a finger. Each key can sense the pressure and tilt, which means you have no need of a pitch wheel. There are 25 keys that are made of silicone which can stand up to a hectic lifestyle (for all you mobile musicians out there), and all will illuminate once pressed.

This will work with anything from your professional equipment down to mobile devices. You can set up presets, as well as share them with friends. Using this is very easy, as it’s plug-and-play via USB. The possibilities are as varied and endless as your imagination. Of course, you will want some knowledge of how to play a keyboard, and be working in some field of music before putting down $200 on this. Otherwise it might be smarter to start off with a regular keyboard and work your way up.

The Das 4 Keyboard Ultimate – play time is over

Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate
Video games are a fun way to relax and escape from reality for a while. Many of them make you think strategically, can show you a new perspective, or have beautiful art and music. The way you interact with this other world is through your controller. When it comes to PC gaming, this translates to a keyboard and mouse. Seeing that many games require precision and speed, having equipment that can keep up with you is important.

If you’ve passed the point where gaming is considered ‘casual’ in your life, then you likely want some hardware that will move as quickly as you can if not faster. When it comes to precision, Das is all over it, and it’s looking like they’ve proven it again with the Das 4 Keyboard Ultimate. This has done away with any and all letter and number markings on the keys as you don’t honestly need them after a while. Much in the same way you can play a stringed instrument without frets.

You’ll have the option of Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches, which mean you’ll get two different options of clicky goodness that have gold contacts. There’s an instant sleep button to save energy, a footbar to raise the keyboard (that can also act as a precise ruler when not in use because…why not?), a 6.5ft cable, and 2-port USB 3.0 hub. If it wasn’t apparent, there are media controls as there is a fairly large volume knob for when you want to listen to music that doesn’t come from the game, or need to adjust volume in a Skype call. This will cost you $169 if you want to upgrade your gaming equipment.

The Mini Karaoke Player will let you practice your singing whenever you have a spare moment

Mini Karaoke Player
If you’ve ever done karaoke, you know how absolutely embarrassing it can be your first time. We often sing in the car with music turned up fairly loud so we can’t be a proper judge of our own capabilities.  You don’t realize how much or little talent you have as a singer until you’re put on display for all to hear. Of course, stage fright can also be a huge factor!

If you want to knock it out of the park, but need the music to practice with, you can have your own karaoke box wherever you are with the Mini Karaoke Player. All you need is to connect this microphone to a music player, plug in some ear buds and start practicing! This will merge the sounds of your voice with the music from your player. If you’d like, you can even record yourself (if you’re using your phone for example) so you can improve.

Should you want to use this at a party, you can hook it up to speakers and sing for your audience. There are echo effects available, volume controls, and left and right stereo microphones for singing with friends. It can be on standby for about 10 hours (and likely far less when in use) before needing a recharge. This will cost around $40, and comes in blue, pink, yellow, and silver. In no time at all, you’ll become a karaoke star!

USB Lantern MP3 Player will let you dance the night away

2 color USB lantern mp3 player
Light and sound are largely important in our day-to-day happenings. We use illumination and sound to act as the indicator to the beginning of the day. If there is an apparent lack of one, the other, or both, we can start to feel uneasy. Perhaps that’s why we’re always so interested in new types of stereo systems, or ways to light up our surroundings.

If you are constantly in the pursuit of a new way to add light to your life and make sure that you’re not only hearing white noise, then the USB Lantern MP3 Player will be an excellent addition to your collection. It has a fake tea candle inside of a lantern shape that will act as your source of light. This can put out an orange or white light as you see fit for your situation.

This can read a microSD card, and USB drive directly, or can connect with most devices through a 3.5mm audio plug. This has a built-in rechargeable battery which makes it portable, but it doesn’t state the amount of time it will last on one charge. There are buttons on the front which will allow you to adjust volume, skip through songs, and more. Should you be interested in this music and light source, it will cost you around $35. It would be perfect for aesthetics, and if nothing else would be a great speaker for your phone.

Danbo Robot Head Portable Charger will bring unyielding power to your phone

Portable Robot Head Charger

We all need a portable charger of some sort if we’re going to be away from an outlet for too long. Our phones just can’t last through a day from the amount of use they go through. Of course, we could use our mobiles a bit less, but then how will we send texts and emails, make calls while gaming, and browse the web simultaneously?

If you are completely non-stop and need a boost for your phone to keep up with your addiction to constantly being ‘plugged in’, then the Robot Head Portable Charger can see you through the day. This is an adorable little cardboard box-looking head that is modeled after the character Danbo. The eyes light up, and will indicate how much power is remaining to be used for your various gadgets.

Its has a 6000mAh battery, which will translate to charging your smartphone two and a half times from completely dead. As stated previously, this will work with just about any device you want to plug into it so long as it connects to this power source via USB. It’s very lightweight and pocket-sized so you don’t have to worry about finding room in your bag for another gizmo.

Cordito Leather Cable Wrap might contain your cable insanity

cordito_leather_cable_wrap
It’s nice knowing exactly where things are, and that they’re neatly folded, coiled, or wrapped and ready to go. Some days, even though we’ve spent time prepping cables or headphones for storage, we retrieve them in a giant bundled mess. It’s a minor annoyance, but there are always methods to take care of that.

While we can’t have a sweet utility belt without it looking like a fanny pack, you can opt for something like the Cordito Leather Cable Wrap. This is a leather roll that can hold all of your ‘tools of the trade’ much in the same way that a tool roll works for chefs, archaeologists, and more. Through this wrap, you’ll be able to place your wrapped cables or cords into the slots, roll it up, and button it shut to make sure nothing can unsettle it further.

This comes in either brown or black, and it will cost you around $40. It measures 12 ¼x 5 ½” when opened, and 5 ½” long by ~2” in diameter when rolled (what you put in it will make the diameter more or less). While this would be extremely useful to keep your cables tidy, keep in mind that you will need to be someone who is already pretty good about wrapping your cords before shoving them into your bag. Be prepared for this to take on a ‘weathered’ look, as the leather is likely going to become a little beat up from being jostled in your bag day-to-day.
