Truly Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard Model 207
When it comes to ergonomic keyboards there are only a few to pick from and, for the most part, all of those are rubber dome keyboards. Ergonomic mechanical keyboards are really limited to two different models, one being the Truly Ergonomic. Today we are going to take a look to see how it compares to everything I have tested to date. I expect an adjustment period just to its shape alone, but as a writer by trade I am very curious how it will affect me day to day. The gamer in me is just as curious on how it will perform in game as well. Let’s take a closer look.
Genius Ring Mouse 2
When it comes to pointers for the computer there are multiple solutions. Most of them come in the traditional flat on a mouse pad form, but occasionally a company comes up with an innovative way to control the pointer on our screen. Genius has developed a “ring mouse” and I have the pleasure of looking at their second version of this particular design in the Ring Mouse 2. I will look at the device’s versatility and functionality in this review and see how it stacks up not only as a pointer, but also as an alternative solution to our browsing needs.
Asus Maximus V Formula
Let’s be honest, Asus has a whole product line full of good motherboards. So much that it really takes a special motherboard to stand out from the crowd. There has been one specific board that has stuck with me for the past year and a half though, back from when I took a visit to the Asus office and they pulled it out to show me. That motherboard would be the Maximus V Formula. I’m sure you are wondering what made it stand out, especially considering all of the motherboards we have in the office, including boards like the Rampage IV. Well I only have a limited amount of space in the opening; you will have to peek inside our review to find out.
LunchBox 2 Project Build: PSU size DOES matter
Hey guys and girls, if you have been around the site or at some events you may have picked up that I have a thing for small form factor PC builds aka LAN rigs. I’m sure a few of you are laughing thinking about how big of a monster our “Fridge” build is, but that is exactly why it is important to have a rig that you can just grab and go without breaking your back. Last year I put together a rig that we called Lunchbox 2 using a Lian Li PC-TU200. After almost a year I had a few things I was interested in swapping around that I think some of you might be interested in.
Cooler Master N200
One of the biggest down falls to having a smaller form factor case and motherboard has always been lack of room for aftermarket cooling solutions, namely water cooling. Cooler master has released the N series brand of cases, a new line that hopes to tackle the water cooling conundrum that many small form factor users are faced with. The N series is touted as a mainstream computer case aimed at the masses, a simple, cheap solution that will house all of the gaming essentials. And as an enthusiast, it might not be your next rig, but it could very well be a candidate for your next LAN rig or for a budding gamer friend.
Cumberland, R.I. (Oct.25, 2011) – Alesis, the world’s leading manufacturer of instruments and tools for today's musician, announces that the Cadenza, an 88-key hammer-action digital piano, is now shipping to musical instrument retailers.
The Cadenza electric piano offers the sounds, features and performance feel that musicians need to bring their ideas to life. With 88 hammer-action keys, the Cadenza equips players with a full range of musical expression, enabling them to play any song, from classical to contemporary.
The Cadenza offers a variety of timeless piano tones: Grand, Upright, Electric, Strings, Organ, and more, all available at the push of a button. The Cadenza's split function can be used to divide the keyboard between sounds, and users can even layer different sounds to create stunning combinations. Every aspect of the player’s performance was considered in the Cadenza’s design. For example, its hammer-action keyboard has a graded feel: the lower keys feel heavier and the higher keys feel lighter, giving players the key response of an acoustic grand piano. The included sustain pedal enables players to unlock all of the Cadenza's musical ability, bringing depth and impact to performances. With push-button chorus and reverb effects, sliding treble and bass controls, and the ability to adjust the keyboard’s touch sensitivity, the Cadenza is an electric piano that will adapt to the preferences of any musician.
The Cadenza includes a 1/8-inch stereo auxiliary input, allowing players to connect a CD or MP3 player and play along with their favorite songs. A MIDI input and output are also provided to control the Cadenza’s sound via a separate keyboard, or to use the Cadenza to control MIDI-compliant sound modules or instruments.
The Cadenza's USB MIDI jack allows for connection directly to a Mac or PC, so players can work with music software. Using the Apple iPad USB adapter, players can even connect the Cadenza to their iPad, iPad 2 or iPhone 4S and play using any CoreMIDI app.
Built-in stereo speakers and a compact, wood-grain frame make the Cadenza a perfect choice for those who want a digital piano that takes over a room, not with its size, but with its sound. The Cadenza also includes output jacks for connecting to external speakers, plus a headphone output for silent practice at anytime.
“The Cadenza is easy to use and offers the full piano experience,” said Dan Radin, Alesis Product Manager. “It’s packed with features that will bring out the best in every pianist.”
The Cadenza is now available with a MSRP of $699 and an estimated street price of $499.
