Logitech has developed a new kind of computer mouse. The Darkfield mouse is definitely a new innovation because this can easily work on glass, granite, and other very smooth surfaces. People who frequently have to use their mouse on glass tables and coffee tables will be glad for this new gadget. This is possible through Logitech’s Darkfield Laser Tracking technology integrated into the mouse.

It just came to my mind to question why computer keyboards are designed with letters not arranged in alphabetical order. I have to research on that one. Anyway, I’m used to typing in the QWERTY keyboard that we use today. However, if I get the chance to type on a keyboard with an ABC layout I’d grab it!

Asus shows great concern about your health when it produced the Vit W1 wireless mouse. For sure the first thing to come to your mind is how can this teeny device have anything to do with the status of my health? This seemingly unassuming mouse is capable of monitoring your heart rate whenever you use your computer. Keeping track of your heart rate is achieved through the pulse rate sensor inside the Vit W1 mouse. This sensor collects information and transmits it to the computer. Pre-installed software that works with the mouse is required for the proper interpretation of the collected data. A corresponding emoticon will be displayed onscreen whether you need medical attention or not.

What can you say about a computer that’s so small it uses less than 97% of the regular desktop you have at home? Sounds insubstantial right? Well that seems to be how the CherryPal’s mini-desktop is. From the picture, CherryPal is really a small, black, rectangular box that uses up only 2 watts of power at maximum usage. This kind of power usage can be explained once you know that its Freescale processor operates at 400MHz, 256 bytes of RAM and 4GB of internal flash storage. It also comes equipped with OpenOffice suite and Firefox Web browser. With its somewhat limited data storage capacity, CherryPal compensates that with free online storage known by the name of “cloud.” The 50GB cloud storage comes at no extra cost so those wishing to have this mini desktop don’t have to worry.

Lenovo expands is field of interest by releasing its very first consumer oriented desktop computers in the US. The IdeaCentre K210 is the very first unit to be marketed outside China.

Too much typing on the keyboard can sometimes lead to discomfort of the hands. Logitech unveiled the new keyboard design that is aimed towards balance between comfort and usability. As the name Wave Keyboard connotes, the overall design of the keyboard is the “wave key-frame design” that has a u-shaped curve making for the smooth and sleek appearance. For the comfort of the user, the new Wave Keyboard is designed with a cushioned and contoured palm rest that if the user’s fingers become tired they have a natural and comfortable resting location.

By August a new Mouse will be coming your way. Logitech announced their new creation the VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.

So, how does it work?

The other day I shared with you an article about a different design of a mouse. I’m sure you handled it well. For something even more unique, how about a washable mouse? No your eyes are not deceiving you… I’m saying washable mouse. This new Belkin Washable Mouse is I think the very first among its kind that can be washed with water without damaging its composition. At this time I’m sure you also sometimes find it a big hassle that you have to carefully clean up the handheld mouse you’re using. There’s going to be a very big difference with the Belkin Washable Mouse because you can just take it under the faucet and voila! Spick and span again!

I have sometimes wondered how come the term mouse has the privilege of being used to refer to one of the commonly used electronic devices of today. How about the names of still hundreds of animals out there? While browsing I saw this fish style mouse. Can’t totally get rid of the term mouse but at least the fish is there. And using this device is uncomplicated since it does not need a set up software, just plug it in the USB port and you’re all set!

BT or British Telecom has some good news for the elderly as well as persons with disabilities who are into technology, specifically laptops. They developed what they called as the BT Balance – an adaptor that eliminates the need for a mouse or a keyboard each time the laptop is used. So you’ll wonder how the laptop’s applications can be accessed. Well, for sure by now you are already familiar with the motions-sensing technology…the one used in the Nintendo Wii. The BT Balance will make use of this motion sensing technology specifically using the accelerometer chip, which identifies the motions and converts it to the navigation screen.
