Razer cranks out Pro|Click Mobile Bluetooth mouse

Razer has certainly been on a tear of late, and the firm is keepin’ the new gear flowing with the Pro|Click Mobile. Shipping worldwide today (to retailers, we presume), this diminutive critter touts an ambidextrous design, Bluetooth 2.0, an optical sensor, and four interesting titled colors including “naughty, nice, sugar, and spice (black, white, pink and red respectively).” Unfortunately, interested customers won’t be able to get their hands around one until “mid-October” for $49.99

Microsoft Natural Keyboard With Covert Keylogger (Not An Official Feature)



Keyboard with Covert Keylogger Device (Image courtesy The Spy Warehouse)
When I first read about this Microsoft Natural Keyboard that had a secret keylogger inside I assumed it was just an official feature that MS never bothered to mention. (For obvious reasons.) But in reality this keyboard has been specially modified to include the keylogger inside so that it’s completely undetectable by either the user or a piece of anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

And from what I can tell this keyboard is actually a few years old since it boasts a massive 2MB of storage (which can capture up to 2 million keystrokes) and requires a computer with a PS/2 port. I particularly like that in order to access the keystroke logs you have to open a text editor like Word, Notepad or Wordpad and type in a secret password you previously assigned. While the password can easily be changed you’ll want to go out of your way to ensure it’s not something your intended spy victim would ever type. I suggest phrases like “happyworkenvironment” or “wholeheartedlytrustmyboss” etc.

Unfortunately the keyboard is a one-off design so once it’s bought there’s no additional stock. But again, given how old the keyboard appears to be (PS/2) I guess the $434 price tag is too much for even the most mistrusting of persons.

LG’s XPION A10

In a radical, and we mean radical departure from their XPION x600 series of tombstone towers, LG unleashes their new A10 series of desktop PCs. At just 3.5-inches thin, it comes stuffed with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR2 memory, 320GB SATA disk, super-multi DVD, 512MB of nVIDIA Geforce 8500GT graphics, 7.1 channel audio, and a semi-automatic sliding door with a touch of that circular-sensor up front. It’s also apparently dead-quiet (other than the hard disk popping) due to embedded “Turbulence Generating Technology” which we presume is some kind of liquid cooling — just a guess though. Priced without monitor for ₩1,130,000 ($1,202).

Logitech intros MX5500 Keyboard / Mouse combo

Those looking for a matching keyboard and mouse set now have yet another option from Logitech, which today busted out its new MX5500 combo. This one includes the company’s existing MX Revolution laser mouse with its speedy metal scroll wheel, along with a new keyboard that boasts a built-in LCD along with the usual array of controls for music and other features. Both peripherals also rely on Bluetooth 2.0 to keep ‘em untethered from your PC, and each promise to let you take full advantage of Flip 3D and other Vista-specific features (though Vista is not required). Look for this set to be available later this month for $170.

IOGEAR’s presentation mouse, 4GB wallet drive

We know, “back to school” isn’t exactly a phrase that brings a smile to most students, but IOGEAR is hoping to get you a bit more jazzed up than usual about the fall semester with a new duo of products. Following the Digital Scribe, the firm has now unveiled a 4GB Flash Wallet Drive and 3-in-1 Wireless Phaser Presentation Mouse to presumably help you with your studies. The uber-thin wallet drive ($69.95) measures in at just 3-millimeters thick and ought to hold quite a few research papers, while the wireless mouse ($59.95) combines a laser pointer and track ball to aid you in making those presentations go as smoothly as possible. Both products should already be available at your campus store or nearby big box retailer.

Apple offers PCI Express RAID Card in Mac Pro

As if Cupertino didn’t give you enough to chew on today, it looks like the Mac Pro received a small update as well. ‘Course, it seems pretty minute until you check out the pricetag ($999, for those wondering), but nevertheless, users looking to maximize their machine can now opt for a PCI Express RAID card to come built right in. The card promises “up to 304MBps of sequential read performance in RAID 0″ and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 0+1, and Enhanced JBOD. Moreover, it sports 256MB of cache and an integrated 72-hour battery for protection, and while the machine ships with each hard drive individually configured in the Enhanced JBOD level, you can migrate the drives into a RAID setup of your choosing without reinstalling OS X by tapping into Apple’s RAID Utility software.
