The Reaper gaming mouse and FragMat mouse pad from Ideazon

October 11, 2006

If you’ve been looking for a dedicated gaming mouse to give you the upper-hand during those endless hours you spend enveloped in virtual worlds, but aren’t willing to lay down some serious cash for products like the $100 headshot, custom keyboard manufacturer Ideazon may have just the rodent for your needs. You probably already know Ideazon from the configurable keyboards it makes (the ones with replaceable keysets covered in game-inspired graphics), and now the company has branched out in order to occupy your right hand along with your left, recently announcing the ominously-titled Reaper. The highlights here — 1,600 DPI resolution, six programmable buttons, and rubberized left and right clicks — make the Reaper sound like a good-but-not-great fragging accessory, although its $40 price tag should help you overlook the lack of adjustable weighting, in-depth macros, and multitude of LEDs found on priciers. Also scheduled for a November release is the $15 FragMat, an oversized, slim profile mouse pad whose gliding surface apparently makes it far superior to the magazine or Garfield-themed pad you’re currently using to wreak digital .

I’d would most likely buy this if i didnt already have a gaming mouse

iPod Screen Saver

Video iPod

Want a fancy screen saver when your ipod is not in use? Here’s how:

1.) Create a new folder named Demo Mode on the iPod.
2.) In iTunes, rename any video file as Demo.

When your iPod is charging and left untouched for two minutes the movie you renamed “demo” will play and repeate. Just like a screen saver. Keep in mind that is for the 5th Gen. iPod only. The iPod must paused or not playing for this to work. You also need to have disk use enabled and must have the latest firmware. Have Fun!
