Ergodex DX1 Input System

Posted on November 30, 2007 by Robin

A great concept – put your keys anywhere on the board you want them, then program them with single keys or multi key macros. The board (tray) is clear, so you can print out templates if you like.

LapBuddy

Posted on November 30, 2007 by Robin

Sometimes a product comes along that’s so simple you wonder why you’ve never spotted it before. This is one of them. Wide enough for a keyboard and a mouse or a laptop and a mouse:

Made of lightweight material, the Lap Buddy’s design dissipates heat from a laptop computer, conforms to anyone’s lap, and our patented mouse pad will keep your mouse from slipping off at up to a 30-degree angle

The 30″ model is by far the most useful, as it is wide enough to accomodate your keyboard and mouse with plenty of room to spare – nobody wants to have their mousing area restricted when playing their favourite game.

Comes in 2 colours

Without the balding guy (hopefully)

Fairlight XYNERGI keyboard

Posted on September 12, 2007 by Robin

This keyboard costs more than the Optimus keyboard, also has OLED programmable buttons and even has a screen on it and easy mode changing stuff, but still manages to look like a throwback from the 60s.

There’s a video after the jump.

Xuuk Eyebox

Posted on May 11, 2007 by Robin

Tracking how many people look at your products is an expensive thing to do. Sony has a system that tracks people in stores and detects where they are looking and for how long, but expect astronomic prices.

Xuuk is offering the Eyebox, a pinhole camera that connects to your PC through USB2. Install some software and voila it counts the amount of people actually looking at the product / advertisement up to a distance of 10m away. The software links into Google’s pagerank technology for revenue models on a how many times your product was seen and gives you loads of statistics. And this for only $999,-

Using this camera you can measure or track how many viewers your poster has.
