In the world of wireless keyboards UK based Xebec Tech doesn't necessarily spring to mind. Producing mainly wireless products this component designer and manufacturer is committed to bringing us the most modern and innovative designs in the global computer market.

Today we are going to look at the Xebec Tech HTPC mini wireless keyboard which, as its name suggests, is designed to be used with a home theatre PC. Despite this, it is also fully compatible with Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 as well as the latest Android tablets including the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

At the beginning of this year we reviewed the Xebec Tech HTPC Mini Wireless Keyboard, today we are looking at the new Xebec Tech HTPC Mini Bluetooth keyboard. If you have a media center in your living room you have probably been looking for that perfect combination of wireless keyboard and mouse … because for many media applications a TV remote just doesn’t cut it.

I have something a little different in the office today, the Xebec Easy Eye keyboard and while some of your are likely recoiling in shock, thinking "what on earth are you doing" well, I'm going somewhere with this and I think this is an important product in many different ways, so lets see if I can get to the bottom of this.
The Easy Eye is quite a popular product and while I expect you don't see many of them on the pro gaming scene or the gaming scene at all really, there are a lot of people in this world that would have good use for a keyboard like this, its big, bright, simple and water proof, perfect for those who are hard of sight or perhaps other disabilities that would make the use of a regular small key-keyboard more difficult.
The thing that interests me the most however is that its effectively water proof and while I don't expect it would survive an over night soak in the bath, Xebec say it should survive some severe spillage, which is something I aim to test.
Priced at around £15-£20 from most major online retailers its reasonably price too and so long its build quality is up to par and its actually a comfortable keyboard to use, I see a big market for this keyboard, I already know before I open the box that my dad would love this keyboard.

Today we are looking at a new product from Xebec – the iTouchpad Diamond Series Wireless keyboard which features a built in touchpad. It is rechargeable and is designed for Windows operating systems. Is this the ideal ‘controller’ for media use?

If you’re a PC gamer, then chances are very good you’ve spent money on a high-performance keyboard a mouse. These are peripherals that work with your hands to act like an extension of your body. Unfortunately, your body can fatigue from using them, and mouse accuracy suffers when your hands and arms get tired. This is why the top gamers use a quality mousing surface, which reduces sliding resistance and allows for smooth gliding over the mat. Personal comfort plays a big role in this decision, which is why many products are made soft as opposed to solid surfaces. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the XPAD MP02 and desk-sized XPAD Pro XXXL MP03 professional Mouse Pads by X2 Products.

X2 has sent us a true 5.1 USB gaming headset to try out and it’s not relying on virtual surround sound to get the job done. Each earcup on the Saturn headset has multiple drivers which outputs different surround channels for better positional audio compared to two channel stereo headphones and headsets. Read on to see how it performs!

X2 Products comes to us from a team of PC enthusiasts based in the Netherlands. X2 has sent over for review today the X2 Aurel audio headphones with passive noise cancellation. Despite having an in-line microphone, the Aurel seem to be emphasized more for their audio headphone performance rather than portrayed as a true gaming headset. X2 advertises the Aurel series 2.0 as genuine audio headphones designed for style and functionality with gold-plated cables, passive noise cancellation and superb and crystal clear sound.

As I stare into what seems like a hollow pit of X79 motherboards, I must say that I'm the first to admit it's nice to step away from them for just a moment and have a look at something a little different. Well, the WOWee One Classic Power Bass Portable Speaker is certainly different and as the long name tells us, it's of course a portable speaker.

Second in this series of Massively Multiplayer Online gaming peripherals is the World of Warcraft Cataclysm (WoW) mouse. Produced by Steelseries and Blizzard Entertainment this mouse is designed to synergistically work with the game World of Warcraft more than any other mouse could. Out of the box the mouse has almost all of its 14 buttons mapped to specific in-game tasks, and each button can be re-mapped at the user's discretion. The mouse is designed to look like the scales of Deathwing, the killer dragon from the Cataclysm expansion, and its pulsing backlights give it a serious look. So the mouse looks great and has a ton of buttons, but is it any good? In short, yes it's pretty much awesome.
