Razer unleashes wireless Naga Epic



Razer is no stranger when it comes to high end gaming peripherals, and their latest offering for the masses will target those who enjoy countless hours in front of the computer, hacking and slashing their way to another level. Yup, we’re looking at MMORPGers here today, where they will surely have heard of the Razer Naga mouse before, but this time around it will be a wireless version that brings a whole new level of epic to your MMO gameplay – hence its new name, the Razer Naga Epic. This mouse aims to epitomize the fine balance between keyboard and mouse, boasting 17 MMO-optimized buttons to bring things to a whole new level, thanks to a trio of ergonomic interchangeable side panels that offer an optimal fit, alongside the choice to customize the backglow from over 16 million colors, with a dual mode wired/wireless functionality.

It isn’t just some techie who was smoking on weed to come up with the design though. The final design of the Razer Naga Epic is what it is today thanks to the scientific testing and screening of over 80 different model iterations by Razer’s ergonomics team. This includes the button placement as well as their functions, which means the folks over at Razer have really done their homework, and done it well with what we can see. The end result? A mouse that provides a personalized level of comfort, alongside dual wired/wireless functionality and unique MMO-optimized multi-button thumb grid.

Those who own the original need not fret, since a wired version of any mouse is more or less guaranteed to work at all times, as a wireless mouse always runs the risk of it not jiving due to some unforseen circumstance. If you live Stateside, the Razer Naga Epic will arrive there this November for $129.99, making it the cheapest continent to purchase one since those living in Europe will have to fork out €129.99 instead, now how about that?

Change your bike’s gears, with your mind

Image
Lately, I have been teaching my son to ride a bicycle, and it reminds me of my days of awkward bike riding. I remember that I had a hard time with changing the gears, but what if I could do it with my mind? Parlee Cycles is apparently working on a concept bicycle made of carbon fiber that does just that. It is part of Toyota Prius Projects, and it uses a helmet equipped with neurotransmitters to read a wearer’s brainwaves. A wireless transmitter attached to the bike’s seat post gets the signal, and changes the gear. As you might of guessed, this is still a concept. In fact, the developer hasn’t quite got the brain control working and still using a smartphone for the controls. I have heard of neuro-controls being used before, but I am guessing the technology isn’t quite as good as Bluetooth. Still, I am wondering if putting a brain control on a bike’s gears is putting too much technology where it doesn’t belong. If we are going to electronically make a way for a

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

iMM514 ArtStation Pro

Image
I’ve seen some products from iLuv before, and the iMM514 ArtStation Pro is good for turning an iPad into a home theater. As you can see, the iPad is mounted in an articulated swiveling arm so you can position it at whatever angle you want, in landscape or portrait mode. In case you are wondering why there is such a big base, it is because it has a huge stereo speaker. In other words, this base has bass. There is also a wireless remote for volume and skipping tracks, and it looks like there are some controls on the base for when you lose the remote. As I mentioned before, iLuv has put out a lot of Apple accessories, and I will have to admit that this is one of the most unusual that I have seen. In fact, I am not even sure what kind of aesthetic that this is. The arm thing reminds me of Technic Lego pieces. I suppose the case is like a big Lego brick without and studs on it. Nice. By the way, this isn’t just for the iPad. The iMM514 ArtStation Pro is compatible
