New PC Keyboards For Your Typing Pleasure
2008-06-23 12:59:00 Hello there,this time I would like to share some tips with you about the new computer’s keyboards. Here comes the three brand-new keyboards that are all worth to take a look at… and greatly recommended for you: Type A: Razer Lycosa This keyboard for gamers is slick as it gets. Completely black in color, with matte buttons covered with a rubber sheen that gives the button keys more grip than standard plastic keys. This Lycosa requires a quite amount of setup: 2 USB ports and 2 audio connections. Do you know why? Because there’s a passthrough USB and audio ports on the rear of this gaming keyboard, and also to power the backlighting on the keyboard. All the keys on the Lycosa light up, but it’s also dim: Unless you’re looking straight down on the Lycosa keyboard while you’re using it, it can be hard for you to find out what button you’re really pushing. Gamers can also set the WASD keys to be the only ones lit up. The Lycosa’s gaming ke...

OLED the future of computing with Optimus Maximus keyboards?
2008-05-28 17:37:00 Optimus Maximus keyboard, will major computer manufacturers actually follow the example? One problem is the OLED tech used in the keyboard is a very expensive alternative to say a standard keyboard. However they are probably quite a few people out there with wads of cash in their pocket who would be will to fork over $1000 to grab hold of a keyboard like the Optimus Maximus. The advantage with the Optimus Maximus keyboard is every key image is fully customised separately for any of the applications. The need to display secondary symbols such as !ӣ$% on the keys is no longer necessary as they appear automatically when the shift key is depressed. Keys that are never used can be removed, and language layout can be switched easily. There are loads of attractive but not too realistic technologies in the near future and OLED is definitely one to key your eye on. The differences between OLED and regular LCD displays are totally amazing, for instance did you know OLED screens can be as ...

Microsoft Announces Laser Desktop 7000 & Digital Media Keyboard 3000

Bill Gates - "Keyboards Diminishing"
2008-02-24 14:23:00 People will increasingly interact with computers using speech or touch screens rather than keyboards, Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said."It's one of the big bets we're making," he said during the final stop of a farewell tour before he withdraws from the company's daily operations in July.In five years, Microsoft expects more Internet searches to be done through speech than through typing on a keyboard, Gates told about 1,200 students and faculty members Thursday at Carnegie Mellon University.Gates also said the software that is proliferating in various branches of science, including biology and astronomy must become even more advanced."They're dealing with so much information that ... the need for machine learning to figure out what's going on with that data is absolutely essential," he said.Microsoft is trying to establish ties not only with university computer science departments but also with reseachers in other scientific areas "to help us understand where new inven...

XFPS adaptor for keyboards allows Sixaxis button mapping - SendMeRSS
2008-01-30 15:03:00 XFPS adaptor for keyboards allows Sixaxis button mappingFiled under: PeripheralsOne of the things that separates PC gamers from console gamers is the notion that using a mouse and keyboard is far cooler or more precise or more complicated (sort of a tongue-in-cheek way of saying "cooler") than a clunky controller. What if that wall were to be destroyed? What if a console, say the PS3, supported mouse and keyboard? What if a third-party peripheral company created an adaptor called the XFPS that allowed you to map your controller buttons onto the keyboard? That's exactly what has happened. The button-mapping is the big draw, but at nearly $100, we'd definitely need to see it in action first. A great idea, though, except for those pesky Sixaxis controls. But for FPS games, you're probably fine.[via UberReview]Read | Per-malink | Email this | Linking B-logs | Comments Link - Comments - Nick Doerr - Wed, 30 Jan 2008 02:00:00 GMT - Feed...
