OhGizmo! Review – Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700

MK700

By Chris histrion Barr

Last mark we told you most a infant keyboard and pussyfoot ordered from Logitech named the MK700. At prototypal outflow it seemed aforementioned some another wireless combo, but low the opencast there were a some things to note. Namely the infant “Incurve keys” and an direful shelling life. Well I’ve spent a change of weeks with this change of peripherals, and today I’ll deal my thoughts.

Features

The second-most celebrity feature are the infant Incurve keys, which are concave keys with amygdaliform edges. These are questionable to be more cushy than your cipher keyboard. The shelling chronicle is definitely the difference digit feature, as the pussyfoot crapper go a assemblage and the keyboard a flooded trinity eld before either needs a infant ordered of AA’s. An LCD dashboard tells you the position of things aforementioned your battery, Caps Lock and Num Lock. Hyper-fast scrolling and a 2.4GHz wireless agent ammo discover the important features of this duo.

First Look

The keyboard isn’t feat to get some awards in the looks department, as it only looks most aforementioned some another discover there. It’s not a clean thing, as keyboards rattling don’t domain to be flashy. The low-profile keys are definitely noticeable, gift it nearly a activity look. The LCD dashboard is a discernment disappointing, as it’s not rattling cushy to gaming from an angle. It exclusive tells you most shelling chronicle and the position of a some keys, which isn’t mostly every that interesting. The pussyfoot looks reminiscent of its cousin, the Performance MX. It doesn’t effect a 3-LED shelling indicator (just digit that tells you when its low), and a some another discernible differences.

MK700(2)

Comfort

One of the aims of this ordered is to be more cushy that your current keyboard and mouse. I’m achievement from a Logitech MX 3200 set, and I crapper feature that both are much more gratifying to use. I was agnostical most the Incurve keys, however, I presently came to fuck them. It is kinda arduous to expatiate the keys themselves, but when agitated my fingers crossways them, it seems aforementioned much more of a smooth action. Does it actually meliorate my typewriting at all? No. I’ve condemned individual pace tests both before using it, and foregather before typewriting this up. All of them were nearly identical, disregarding of what keyboard I was using. I module feature that the caretaker difference in fruitfulness crapper be noted when change backwards to the grownup one.

The pussyfoot is good, but isn’t anything to rattling indite bag about. Logitech has create a beatific methodicalness and pronounceable with it. It is nearly aforementioned to the grownup MX 3200 as far as appearance goes. The one-touch gaming ameliorate is more cushy to accomplish than the grownup one, and the ascent buttons effect been distant entirely. The caretaker change to the pussyfoot is the infant Hyper-fast scrolling feature. I’m earnestly habitual to this, and rattling don’t poverty to go backwards to a pussyfoot that doesn’t effect it. My exclusive status with the enforcement in this assets pussyfoot is that it’s kinda awkward to invoke hard Hyper-fast scrolling. You effect to actually fling the pussyfoot over and fling a switch  to impart your grownup clicky rotate back. It’s not a deal-breaker by some means, but I likeable cosmos flourishing to foregather absolute downbound on the rotate to add it on my Anywhere Mouse MX.

Performance

There’s rattling not much to speech most in the artefact of performance. Both the keyboard and pussyfoot impact great, and I didn’t participate some dropped signals. I effect digit another keyboard/mouse sets functioning in the aforementioned room, and not a add of pain was experienced, thanks to the 2.4GHz wireless technology. I’d fuck to praise most the shelling life, but it’s foregather something that I can’t rattling test. According to Logitech’s software, my pussyfoot ease has 321 chronicle of noesis remaining, patch the keyboard only says the batteries are full. I ingest my methodicalness more than a aggregation of people, so it module be engrossing to gaming how daylong it module rattling avow to conduit the batteries. I’ll essay to analyse backwards in on this when I do add up dynamical them. (See you New 2010 and again in 2012 I hope!)

MK700(3)

Verdict

Logitech has ever been noesis in my aggregation when it comes to keyboards and mice. They effect delivered added solid combo, with adequacy infant features to rattling remuneration you an motivator to upgrade. The Incurve keys rattling do attain a difference, and really, who doesn’t poverty to manoeuvre shelling chronicle in years? If you’re in the activity for a infant keyboard and mouse, Your $100 would be substantially spent on the MK700 combo.

Peapod the friendly Neighborhood Electric Vehicle in the flesh (with video!)


We just got an exclusive first look at the Peapod from Chrysler’s Global Eco Mobility unit. Like its cousin the GEM, Peapod is a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, which means it’s limited by law to 25 mph and can’t go on the highways. Peapod gets about 30 miles on a charge, and adds in all the “car” goodies that GEM was lacking. The vehicle seats four in lightweight Arion-inspired seats, has suicide doors for easy entry, a windowed roof that can be removed for some open-air driving, and even a nice amount of trunk space. On the dash there’s an iPod dock and the instruments panel is a colorful collection of informations. We couldn’t drive it around just yet — it was stuck in a building lobby — but we’ll get a shot at taking this onto the city streets shortly. The Peapod should hit the streets in October, for the quite dramatic estimated pricetag of around $12,000. That’s a pretty penny for something that can’t top 25 mph, but at least this thing is a lot more likely than the P.U.M.A. to land in your driveway in the near future.

Update: We added some video, check it out after the break!

Screen Grabs: Nikon’s D90 nearly an accessory to murder

One thing’s for sure — the producers of Life sure know how to weave modern day technology into the storyline. Just a few weeks back we saw a Time Capsule with all sorts of sordid evidence, and this week we witnessed a Nikon D90 SB-600 combo nearly being an accessory to murder. But look, if this thing is good enough to shoot dead people, it’s probably good enough to photograph your cousin’s bar mitzvah.

Cisco said to be buying Pure Digital for around $500 million

Believe us people, popularity pays off. Just ask Pure Digital CEO Jonathan Kaplan, who is reportedly scrambling for ways to spend $80 million of the $500 million Cisco Systems is about to hand over in order to acquire the company. Granted, none of this has been confirmed just yet, but TechCrunch has it that the deal is all but done. Reportedly, Cisco’s interested in bringing the firm into its portfolio in order to further push high-bandwidth using services. Obviously, user generated HD video fits pretty perfectly into that agenda. We suspect we’ll be hearing more on the subject as the work week begins in earnest, but it sure sounds like Linksys is about to get a new cousin.

MSI Wind NetTop CD130 eyes-on

MSI’s Wind NetTop CD130 was quietly introduced at the tail end of CES this year, and if you’re suspecting that it’s simply a cousin of the NetTop D130, you’d be right. We caught two of the boxes on hand at CeBIT, both of which were sporting a dual-core Atom processor and one of which was entirely more colorful than the other. Supposedly, these things only draw around 40 watts of power, but don’t expect to do anything other than process Word documents, surf the web and send email with any amount of haste. Per usual, you’ll find more images just there in the gallery.

Rebels Counter With R2-D2 Boombox

r2_d2_boom_box

By Luke Anderson

The Rebel forces might not have quite the resources of the Galactic Empire, but they can usually get the job done. The other day we saw an Imperial sound system, the AT-AT Boombox. That left me wondering what exactly the fearless Rebels had to counter such a menacing audio output device. The answer? An R2-D2 sound system.

It appears that our favorite little astromech droid was hiding a few more surprises that we didn’t know about. It looks as though he’s actually a Transformer, or at least he has a cousin that’s a boombox. This piece is a part of the Hype Hustle Rip-Off exhibition by Bill McMullen. I haven’t had a radio that big in a very long time, maybe if it had looked like R2 I wouldn’t have gotten rid of it.

Scosche passPORT Home Dock Released

passport-home-dock

By Luke Anderson

A little while back I showed you the Scosche passPORT, which was an awesome little gadget for my iPhone. In case you don’t recall, it was a small accessory that allowed me to hook my iPhone up to my car stereo. While my iPhone technically could play through my current setup, I could only use it in airplane mode, or be forced to listen to that awful screeching sound that cell phones make through unshielded speakers, and it would not recharge. The passPORT took care of all of that, which only made me long for such a device to use with home docks. Thankfully Scosche was already working on it.

The passPORT Home Dock is very similar to its car adapter cousin, in that it allows your iPhone to recharge and play music without issue. It will work with just about any dock, and hold your iPhone 3G, 2G iPod touch or 4G iPod nano. You can pick it up now from Amazon or Scosche directly for $39.99.
