Genius has new wireless mice for travelers



Genius, a name that has become familiar for those who budget friendly peripherals that work well enough for years on end without requiring an upgrade too soon. Sure, they will not make an impact like how Razer would in terms of gaming, but for functionality on a shoe string pay packet, you won’t really go wrong with Genius’ offerings.

This time around, we have a couple of wireless mice for your perusal, where they are the Traveler 6000 wireless mouse and Traveler 6000 Classic wireless mouse. Already up for sale in both the US and Canada, they were specially designed to be of ambidextrous use – that means, they can see action on either hand, with the Traveler 6000 wireless mouse proving that user-friendliness and detailed design are Genius’s tradition.

The Genius Traveler 6000 wireless mouse will feature a smooth and accurate 1200 dpi optical engine, and won’t be out of place when connected to a machine of your choice (desktop, notebook or netbook, it doesn’t really matter) via a super small Pico USB receiver. This receiver is so tiny that you can always leave it plugged in even when you’re moving around the office, without worrying over your head whether the receiver will bend or break. Then again, you will find that most of the high end wireless mice these days have extremely tiny USB receivers, so Genius follows them in this suit.

With an energy-saving and long-range 2.4GHz RF wireless frequency, users will have the flexibility of uninterrupted wireless connectivity, and there is even a storage compartment thrown into the mouse itself to hold the Pico receiver when not in use. To further conserve power, an on/off switch is available to make sure no battery juice is wasted on your travelers. An AAA alkaline battery is thrown into the mix to help you get started right out of the box.

As for the Genius Traveler 6000 Classic, this is a special edition model that boasts of an elegant top cover design which you can see above.

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

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

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
