Logitech Wave Keyboard And Mouse

Published by MouseArena, on February 9th, 2010, in the categories: Logitech

Logitech proves once again worthy of the top position it has held for years. This is due to the fact that Logitech products are both bery good quality and also to the fact that Logitech keeps up to date with the latest technological improvements and innovations, adjust its products very quickly to the request of the market or even imposing certain trends in the field of computer peripherals.



Logitech wave keyboard and mouse, for example, is the perfect product combo that illustrates my statement: these two products (keyboard and mouse) are very good quality and also compatible with the latest software rel;eased by Microsoft - Windows Vista and XP). Besides, this Logitech keyboard introduces a very new and revolutionary shape in the form of waves, which is suggested from the name itself.



It bases on the principle that people's fingers are not equal and they have different sizes and lengths. That is why this wave keyboard has a wavy surface that allows you to type using a natural movement of the fingers, without having to stretch them and make them become tired after some time.

The cushioned and contoured palm rest offers a comfortable support for your wrist when you are not typing. It is situated at the end of the typing area , with a descending degree and attached to the keyboard in a very neat way. Besides, you can adjust the keyboard height in order to offer the perfect position for every person who uses it. People are different and have different heights and different hand lengths , so why force them to use a keyboard that has a fixed height?

There are the regular keyboard keys, but there are also other additional keys that allow a fast access to video, music, internet and some more by a simple press of the finger. They are the one-touch controls. There are also a lot of shortcuts, hot keys and you can even programme most of the function keys to do whatever you may want. Though both the keyboard and the computer mouse are cordless, this Logitech Wave Keyboard offers the users the possibility to connect your headphones directly underneath it when you want to listen to music and the USB port of your computer is just out of reach.

Speaking of cordless, the Logitech mouse that accompanies this Wave keyboard is a laser mouse and this provides a very good quality resolution and tracking and allows you to use it on virtually any kind of surface. Of course both products are supplied with new batteries that allow them to work as soon as you unwrap them from the box: 2 AA batteries for the keyboard and 2 for the mouse.



The life of batteries is impressive for this combo, as they last up to 15 months for the keyboard and 6 months for the mouse. The fact that both peripherals are wireless offers freedom of use and does not keep you attached to your desk when operating the computer. The Logitech Wave keyboard and mouse are compatible only with Windows Vista and Windows 7, so the latest Microsoft releases in matter of software, that is why it is not a good idea to purchase the pack if you have some older operating system; or you may consider updating your operating system.

Mouse Pad Crafts

Published by MouseArena, on February 9th, 2010, in the categories: Mouse Pad

Mouse pads are usually bought from the store. They are really cheap and are made of special materials (rubber, foam, plastic, PVC) that can't be found in every store. Anyway there are some people who prefer to make things with their own hands in order to bring a personal touch to these things you use every day and bring a special colour on your desk.



These people use different specific material to obtain special mouse pads crafts. In fact, to be more exact, children are the ones credited with all the work, but they are always helped by their parents who offer and adult's view and guidance in order to get the wanted result.



Children don't have too much money to buy things, so the best presents they can do are made by themselves. Of course the parents who love their children appreciate these personal gifts a lot more than if they have received very expensive gifts bought from the shop. That is because you can buy many things, but never children's love who is offered for free.

There are no textbooks to teach you how to make mouse pad crafts; you only need to have the necessary materials and a lot of imagination. In fact imagiantion and skill are the most important ingredients in obtaining nice crafts. It's  a good idea for a parent to help the children make special gift's for the other parent's birthday. For example this baseball craft mouse pad can be the perfect gift for daddy's birthday or Father's Day or another one in the shape of a flower for Mother's Day. Just buy a piece of craft foam and some markers, cut the shape desired and let your kids enjoy the fun of drawing it as they like. Children's contour hands are always a hit and their clumsy drawings, too.

Look at this little and cute rodent smiling at us from the desk where it is the proud support of its computer brother. I think it would be more appropriate on a child's desk, that is why it would be a good idea to work together with your son or daughter to make both a surprise mouse pad for their computer mouse. All you need is a piece of gray craft foam and another one of purple foam (or you can choose different colours if you want to make it more diverse), purple, gray and black felt, ribbon, waxed paper, tacky glue and a non-slip liner that you can find almost in any department store that will be attached beneath the mouse pad in order to prevent its slipping all over the desk.



Cut a rectangle out of the gray craft foam and then round its corners. Put one edge of the rounded rectangle onto the purple foam and draw a line around it, turn it around and draw another line, so as to get the face of the mouse from it. Cut the new obtained shape and glue it onto the gray base. Glue a piece of yarn as the mouse's tail and then glue the non-slip line. The ears of the mouse are in fact two black round-felt circles glued inside two purple felt circles. Glue them both to the head and add two black felt eyes. Cover the mouse obtained with a sheet of waxed paper and let it dry completely. Then have fun!

Computer Mouse With Flames

Published by MouseArena, on February 8th, 2010, in the categories: Design

Men like cars - this is an universal truth, just like saying that water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. And they all dream about tuning their cars, no matter how old and rusty they may be (cars, not men). Well, time passes by and suddenly they find themselves married with children and a comfortable minivan instead of the powerful sports convertible car they dreamt buying when they were younger.



Now all they can do is dream of what it would have been like to have the car of their dreams and what would have been the model of the flames they would have painted on its sides. If you want my opinion, the perfect gift for such a guy who longs for his youth is a nice computer mouse with flames on both sides, resembling to a nicely tuned sports car. They are both fast and nicely painted with flames, both beautiful to look at and pumping adrenaline into your veins. You can even use these computer mouses with flames when playing car race games on your computer, making the game much more thrilling and realistic.



The name of the computer mouse above is Hot Rod optical mouse and you can find it for sale for $35 at www.boystomengifts.com. As you can imagine it is an optical mouse, pretty simple and nice, with a resolution of 800 dots per inch and that can work properly on virtually any kind of surface except glass. Instead of a scroll wheel as you may be accustomed already you can find a rubber scroll ball that is very easy to operate and does not slip when using it. The shape makes it perfect to use by both left handed and right handed people.

It is compatible with Mac OS and Windows and works as soon as you get it out of the box providing you connected it to the USB port of your computer. It has just the two regular left and right click buttons, but that is just enough because this is not a gamers mouse. If I may add - it is made in Switzerland and that alone stands for its solidity and good quality.



As to the second computer mouse with flames, it is white and also very simple. I guess this is exactly as it should be because it is already painted with all those flames all over and too many buttons or a very complicated design would have been too much. This flame mouse is also corded and this time it has no scroll wheel. The design is comfortable and your hand feels fine working with it. Quite an ordinary computer mouse if you ask me, embellished with stylized flames on the sides. It makes a perfect gift for guys who love cars and cars games, for friends and co-workers.

This computer mouse with flames brings a little bit of wild things in your life and a bit of colour on your desk. But if happiness is in the little things, then this mouse certainly brought a bit of happiness to you or any owner.

Cool Mouse Pad

Published by MouseArena, on February 8th, 2010, in the categories: Mouse Pad

Everybody wants to be "cool" or have something "cool". And by "cool " I mean really out of the ordinary, not the adjective describing things that are not warm. Nobody wants to admit that they are average people and there are millions of other guys exactly like them. So they want "cool" things that can draw attention and be admired and make them proud to be different . Or maybe it is just the urge to possess an unusual thing and enjoy its special features.



That is why people have turned the use of the very common and usual and regular mouse pad into a "coll" thing. This is possible if you add the mouse pad some very unusual features making it desirable. The first example of a "cool" mouse pad is this all-in-one gadget that is not a school science project, but a very useful tool. It is created by SourcingMap and offers the user quite a lot of functionality packed into a small area.



Its official name is the All-in-One Music Mouse Pad , a name that does not suggest much, except the fact that it somehow is connected to music. This effective mouse pad has a 4-port USB hub where you can plug in different USB devices, high-quality stereo speakers, and a microphone. It is connected to your computer via an USB port. If you want to use it for the purpose it was designed for and listen to music, you might also want to create a cool disco or club atmosphere. So, besides the original sound support, you now have the possibility to colour up the surrounding, choosing either the flashing blue lights or seven colored lights available and that can bring a little colour onto the surface of your cool mouse pad.

The price is $37, a fair price for an extraordinary package of features allowing you to feel like a DJ in your own club. How about the cool guitar mouse pad that you can admire over here? I bet you did not even realize it was a mouse pad until I told you that. Well, it was made especially for the guitar lovers that just can't live without this musical instrument and want to carry it all over the place with them, either as a normal guitar or a guitar shaped mouse pad.

You must admit the design is amazing. It reproduces real designs of famous brands of guitars and are also so ingeniously coloured, that you almost want to grab them and try to feel them in order to make sure they are simple mouse pads, and not miniature guitars.



The models offered have the famous Les Paul, SG, Stratocaster and Telecaster designs. Though it is only plastic , you have the impression they are made of wood somehow. Harris is the name of the manufacturer and he sells then for the price of $10 and sometimes can offer discounts up to 20% for such holidays or special occasions like the approaching Valentine's Day. And what could be the perfect gift for your boyfriend or brother if not a mouse pad designed like the thing they love best?
