SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mice Released

SteelSeries launches the Sensei [RAW] Glossy and Rubberized editions gaming mice. While the original Sensei is a customizable mouse for pro gamers, the Sensei [RAW] is a more affordable choice for ordinary gamers as SteelSeries has taken away the 32-bit ARM processor, LCD menu system and onboard memory. Yet, the [RAW] still feature essential functions of a gaming mouse and has the same ambidextrous Sensei shape and size.

The Sensei [RAW] sports tournament-grade Omron switches for intense clicking, a pro-grade laser sensor, a CPI range from 1-5,700, seven programmable buttons and XL-sized UPE material feet for smooth and consistent glide. The [RAW] offers 12,000 frames per second and supports one on-board profile. It features white LED illumination in three zones and can be configured with multiple levels of pulsation. You can customize the mouse with SteelSeries Engine software suite.

With an ambidextrous, all-grip design, the Sensei [RAW] comes in two version, the Rubberized edition with rubberized black, hand-sweat resistant coating for gamers who worry about sweaty palms; and the Glossy version with a glossy black, smooth exterior that both looks and feels sleek. Both versions are priced at $59.99.

Case Cord iPhone Case for Gadget Fashionistas

Ever wanted to match your iPhone’s case with your wardrobe? I actually know a lot of people who do this, and this case takes the possible customization a bit further. At the end, it will match your clothes, but you most probably will have to sacrifice some of your old clothes to make it happen.

The Case Cord was created by the Korean designer Lee Ji Hoon and it uses spare fabric from your apparel as the backplate. You’ll need to cut out a portion of your clothes with the supplied template, then fit it into the designated casing. Having played around with old denim, I can imagine that might look cool.

For now, the case is just a concept/prototype, but I’m sure that there will be enough interest for this to be made into a real product at some point.

RGB + LED + USB = blink(1)

While I particularly like the look and programmability of the L8 SmartLight, it might be a bit showy and overkill for many needs. If you’re looking for a simpler way to indicate activity on your computer or the internet, you might want to check out this little gadget instead.

It’s called the blink(1), and it’s a tiny programmable RGB LED with a USB connector on the end of it. Just plug one into a spare USB port, and you can program it to blink or glow in any color based on software triggers from your computer. For instance, you can have it glow when you have a new email, or maybe when a friend signs on to Skype. It can be used to indicate pretty much anything you’d like. And if you’ve got more than a single available USB port, you can go to town with multiple blink(1)s.

The blink(1) will ship with apps for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, and since its designed to be Open Source, you’ll be able to custom program it for other applications as well – and there are C and Java APIs for low-level access. Each tiny blink(1) sells for $30(USD), or you can pick up a two-pack for $55 over on Kickstarter. The project has already surpassed its funding goal, so it’ll definitely go into production.
