    SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mouse Review

    Has it been updated since I last reviewed it then? Battery life was terrible, pretty much the same with all high-end wireless mice You can still use it while on the charger, but the stiff cable really was a handful after a while. I just don't trust wireless peripherals too much - if it's not...

    Sophos Issues Anti-Virus Update that Detects the Program Itself as a Virus

    At least it's recoverable, unlike certain issues regarding a number of Anti-Virus companies flagging ATAPI.SYS as a virus at the same time... You know, that tiny little protocol responsible for a lot of data transfers on a modern system. Yeah, hundreds, if not thousands of computers turned into...

    CompactFlash 'CFast 2.0' Standard to Allow 600MB/s Speeds

    No doubt it'll cost a fortune, but then I look at the "CF cards behind a SATA 6Gbit/s interface" part and just sigh... "We have existing products that can fulfil this problem, but we need to make another to keep the current format alive to be backwards compatible." What are SSDs? Flash memory...

    Picked up a Samson Meteor USB Mic today

    The Yeti I picked up was going really cheap at the time. Think I paid £65 for it at the time, 2 weeks later, the price shot up to £115, so yeah, kind of got lucky like you. The problem with gel or rubber pads is that it won't help much when typing or moving the mouse around on the desk. I...

    Picked up a Samson Meteor USB Mic today

    Ahhh, another audio junkie. I splashed out on a Blue Yeti a while ago, definitely worth it for clarity compared to the awful integrated mics. A trick I remembered a while ago about reducing desk noise without a shock-mount is to use an old speaker cone. You put the mic on a stand of some kind...

    In The Lab: Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 Keyboard - It's Not a Cyborg

    It's a German keyboard, so we are looking for the 'einige' key. Maybe it's a modifier combo with Strg or Fn. I have found the 'Druck' key, think I'll be using that a lot. It's like a drunk guy couldn't type...

    In The Lab: Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 Keyboard - It's Not a Cyborg

    You may have seen this keyboard popping up over various sites a couple months ago, and it's truly an eye-catcher. Following on from the R.A.T. range, Mad Catz has released the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 keyboard, and we were fortunate enough to get a sample in to review. To give you some idea as to what...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    Because some people may not have seen it yet, but the 'Live Action' Trailer. Yes, I do believe there was no budget for the marketing team. http://youtu.be/6cLMiaW2ul0 I can't find a decent rip, since it's only on TV commercials at the moment. Also, I love you guys for holding out for me...

    WD's Subsidiary HGST Announces Helium-filled Hard Drives

    Vacuums can leak, even sealed low pressure 'pockets' will eventually normalise after a year, especial with large temperature changes. With these helium drives, can they maintain the gas inside without loss? Evaporation can occur with only a few nanometers gap in the structure.

    ROCCAT Kone[+] Gaming Mouse & Isku Gaming Keyboard Review

    Someone didn't read my R.A.T.7 review, :p. http://techgage.com/article/mad_catz_cyborg_rat_7_gaming_mouse/3 Last picture. Those silly disks around the sensor are nothing but problems. I've tested several mice with a ring around the sensor, and all have had issues with dust, hence my loathing...

    WD's Subsidiary HGST Announces Helium-filled Hard Drives

    Air is required for the heads to float above the platter surface, the high speed spinning creates the layer, preventing the head from crashing into the platter.

    Borderlands 2 Golden Key Details Emerge

    The unique items are purple drops from what I read. But I doubt this really matters, since I'm sure the keys will be available as micro-transactions at some point. Personally, I'll probably use it around level 30/40, e.g. the second play-through (if the same system is still in place). By 50, it...
