Logitech Wireless Touchpad

 

For all those laptop users out there, ever wished you had a bigger and wider touchpad where you could scroll with ease and not be restricted with the 3 x 2.5 inch that you have now? Now you can. The Logitech Wireless Touchpad allows you to do all that and more.

Besides it being larger in size as it is 5-inches long and wide, it can also be used from a distance. For example, if you were watching a movie with your friends and suddenly the movie required that you click on another file because it is divided into two parts, wouldn’t it be a hassle to have to pass through all of your friends just to click on some file and then have to go through the trouble of passing through all of your friends again just to sit in your place?

The Logitech wireless touchpad surely makes things easier. Rather than having to go through all that trouble, the wireless touchpad can be used from the leisure of your seat. The mechanism of this wireless touchpad is almost the same as the wireless mouse as it is cordless, hassle free, and uses a USB dongle connected to your pc, but it has got a much more modernized style than a wireless mouse.

Its advanced 2.4 GHz wireless dongle allows you to connect to another five peripherals. It also has an LED battery life indicator that tells you if the battery is low. With this wireless touchpad, scrolling, zooming, and clicking sure have become much easier.

Available: Amazon

Price: $40.83

Mac Pro Belt Buckles

Mac Pro Belt Buckles

 

As most Mac fans can attest to, the first thing you probably do is to throw aside the mouse that is included every time you purchase a new Mac. Instead of leaving them lying around unused, why don’t you put them to good use, say as a belt buckle? It would make a perfect gift for your Mac geek friends or you can wear them yourself as a declaration of your love for all things Mac.

One designer in Texas has done just that by fashioning belt buckles from unused and broken Mac mice. The idea came about when he was throwing out a box of old computer mice and noticed they were of similar size to belt buckles. He then decided to fashion them as belt buckles and put them up for sale on an online shop he set up with his future wife to raise enough money in time to fund their upcoming wedding next year. Thus, the Mac Pro Belt Buckles were born.

The designer has several belt buckles fashioned from a variety of Mac Pro mice but if you are not a Mac fan, you can opt for a belt buckle fashioned from a Compaq mouse. Stocks are limited though, as the designer says he does not have many broken or unused mice lying around.

The mouse belt buckles measure 4.25 inches by 2.5 inches and fit belts measuring up to 1.75 inches and will set you back by about $22 each.
