The tag line of "the best Apple keyboard ever made"Â is something I had to see for myself. Stick around and have a look at the Matias Tactile Pro 3.0 mechanical keyboard.

The new Quiet Pro keyboard from Matias impresses with it's newly designed switches, which produce less noise, maintain a tactile feedback and is equipped with anti-ghosting capabilities. Being a keyboard designed for Mac computers, the key functions are optimized for this platform and common/uncommon symbols are also drawn on the keycaps (which are laser-cut) for easier access.

„Die leiseste mechanische Tastatur der Welt“ schreibt sich Matias dank eigenes entwickelter Schalter auf die Fahnen. Universell empfehlenswert ist die „Quiet Pro“ dennoch nicht.

The Manhattan Stealth Touch Mouse is a very stylish mouse suitable for left- and right-handed people. It has no physical buttons whatsoever. You do hear a click when you nudge the area where traditionally the left or right mouse button is situated. The fact that it's wireless and small makes it best suited for on-the-go use with a laptop. The PowerPoint slide feature is a practical extra feature as well.

With a unique product on offer, we see if the S.T.R.I.K.E.7 is any good or if its just a gimmick.

This week I've been spending my time playing around with this S.T.R.I.K.E.5 keyboard from MadCatz, which as some of you may know is the "toned down" edition of their S.T.R.I.K.E.7 Keyboard which Tim reviewed for us a little while ago. I use the words "toned down" lightly of course, as this is still a completely mental keyboard that is packed with top of the line features, extreme combustibility and a hefty price tag.
Clocking in at around £179.99 this is still one of the most expensive keyboards we've had in the office, but with the Strike7 costing £249.99 the Strike5 suddenly seems like good value for money. Now I'm not going to dismiss this whole review on the fact that it's so expensive, as when you pay a high price tag you expect a return from your investment and that is something we saw with the Strike7, sure its expensive, but it has a lot of features and technology, I expect we'll see something similar today from the Strike5.
The one thing that stunned us (at first) about the Strike7 and the Strike5 is that they're not fitted with mechanical keys, but instead feature high quality membrane keys. Our other reviewer Tim remarked that the Strike7 was not unlike Brown switches in terms of key-press performance and I suspect well see the same kind of keys in the Strike5. Although it is unusual for a keyboard over £100 to not feature a full mechanical layout, but I guess that can really be broken down to personal preference on what kind of keys you prefer.
MadCatz have been on a winning streak this last couple of years, not onlywith their own product lines but also their Tritton, Seitek and Cyborg ranges have been winning awards, not only from us but from many sources in the industry as well as winning over the hearts and minds of gamers, both in and out of the pro gaming community. It's hard to find a gaming event that doesn't have someone from MadCatz on hand listening to gamers, getting them to use their products and gaining feedback. The Strike5 I expect has been no different, so lets take a look at what MadCatz have packed into this keyboard and see if they really have delivered on what us gamers really want in a keyboard.

Mad Catz are one of the hottest peripheral brands on the market, they've already built themselves a fantastic reputation for doing things just that little bit differently to some of the other big names and when it comes to their range of mice, nothing looks quite like a Mad Catz mouse. The distinctive look set them apart quickly and as we've seen in countless reviews of their products, not just on eTeknix but on multiple review media, Mad Catz back their looks up with exceptional build quality, pack their product full of high end features and of course they're getting pretty cool too.
So when Mad Catz announced that they would be launching a mouse for the mobile market, or should I say a mouse that is more mobile that they usually are, a more compact solution that packs wireless tech, good ergonomics and hopefully still plenty of the features we've come to love about the Mad Catz range, the only downside is that this mouse would cost in the region of £85! Which is to say the least, pretty damn expensive for a small mouse, so it's either overpriced or it's packing some neat surprises to justify the cost, well if the specification sheet is to be believed, it looks more like the latter.
High DPI, good acceleration and tracking speed, loads of programmable buttons, powerful wireless range, this is certainly no cut down mobile product, this is a mini gaming monster!
