While still one of the newer kids on the block, having only been around for a couple of years at this point, Roccat, makers of high end gaming peripherals have been rivalling the big boys since day one. Today they're hoping to do that once more with a revamp of a mouse that I like very much, the Kova. This one, termed the Kova +, brings tweaked specifications and some new features that Roccat is hoping will make it perhaps the best ambidextrous mouse available. Let's see if they're right.

Roccat is a German based company that was founded in 2007. They are a relatively new company to the gaming peripheral scene but offer several feature rich, sleek looking gaming mice and keyboards among a few other gaming related devices. Roccat's main selling points on their mice are the extreme DPI resolutions they achieve, upwards of 3200 DPI. Roccat is probably most known for the feature packed Kone series of gaming mice which has been met with positive reviews across the net. Today we will be taking a look at the Roccat Kone and Kova, representing both the higher end and lower end gaming markets.

When I am in front of the computer, I sometimes wonder how many times I have clicked my mouse buttons, and how long they would last down the road. Although in reality, while I doubt it actually matters how many times a mouse has been clicked, it seems like a valid question to me. Okay, who am I kidding? I rarely think of things along this track of thought, but today's review unit has got me thinking about this quite a bit more. Our review unit today comes from Cooler Master, a company renowned for their power supplies, chassis, cooling products and many more. Some are even diehard fans about their spinoff brand CM Storm, the gaming division of Cooler Master, similar to that of Tt eSPORTS from Thermaltake (Really, they even abbreviated their name in the same manner). The product we will be taking a deeper look at today will be the Cooler Master Storm Spawn, which is the latest product from the CM Storm line of products. If most readers recall, the previous Cooler Master Storm Inferno did not perform exceptionally well. So today, let's see how much Cooler Master has stepped up their game for the latest rendition in the CM Storm series of mice. The Cooler Master Storm Spawn is advertised to have Omron Micro Switches for their buttons, and is said to last up to 5 million mouse clicks. We can't exactly test that right at this moment, but maybe later on, if we have a chance we can update the review to include how well the mouse fares after 5 million mouse clicks. The ETA for that would be after the Second Coming. Without further delay, let's dive right into today's review, and see how well the Cooler Master Storm Spawn performs.

The Spawn gaming mouse is the latest edition in the Cooler Master CM storm series of gaming peripherals. With a MSRP of just $49.99 the Spawn bridges the gap between a box store mouse and Cooler Master’s own pro line of gaming mice.

This wouldn’t be so bad if the glasses were inexpensive, but with glasses costing over $100 each, not too many consumers are going to be stockpiling glasses for a rare group viewing. Furthermore, those 3D glasses might be worthless if a 2nd 3D display or replacement 3D display is purchased from another manufacturer. This is where XPAND steps in and attempts to alleviate the problem with their line of universal 3D glasses. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the XPAND X103 universal 3D glasses.

Today we have a product from Jabra; it's the BT530 which is part of the "Smart Series" which boasts that it uses "Cutting-edge technologies to set you free and bring you closer to the perfect sound, comfort and connection". Well let's have a look and see if it really lives up to the high standard that the Smart Series sets.

Nachdem der aus Schweden stammende Hersteller Mionix bereits mit dem Vorgängermodell NAOS 5000 in der Gamer-Welt auf sich aufmerksam gemacht hat, dürfen wir hier die kleinere Version der Gaming-Maus mit einem 3200-DPI-Sensor testen. Der Name der NAOS 3200 ergibt sich aus dieser DPI Zahl. Das Äußere gleicht stark der 5000-Version. Somit verfügt auch die NAOS 3200 über eine ausgeprägte Ergonomie, bei welcher auf die Verwendung aller fünf Finger der rechten Hand gesetzt wird. In mattem schwarz und mit dreifarbiger Beleuchtung kann die Maus auf jeden Fall bei der potenziellen Nutzergruppe punkten. Ob es Mionix auch geschafft hat den technisch Ansprüchen der Nutzer gerecht zu werden und letztlich den Erfolg der NAOS 5000 zu wiederholen, versuchen wir in diesem Review zu klären.

Although the computer mouse was revolutionary when it was introduced back in the 1960s, there are times when it simply cannot perform today's computer tasks. Drawing tablets and pens have been the answer for detailed computer work, but they are expensive. So when the folks at Genius sent us an inexpensive Pen Mouse that doesn't require a tablet, we were happy to take a look.

Recently we visited Gadget Show Live 2011 and while our article on that event did quite well, this one did a lot better. Despite that however, the real highlights of the event are checking out the hardware and one company was kind enough to let us test a lot of it. Not only that, but Plantronics were such fans it seems that they plied us with their entire range of Xbox headsets. Needless to say, we had to find bigger bags.

Headsets are a wonderfully simple solution to the problems that arise with a microphone and loud speakers, however, I've always found them to be quite restricting as you end up with a length of cable that is never quite long enough. Over the years, many solutions have come out of the pipelines and invariable some have been wireless. It has always been in the understanding that, if you want a good headset which can deliver good sound quality you will need to have a wired headset.
