Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse

I have been using a Logitech MX1000 cordless mouse for just over 2 yrs now. I love it and am not sure I’d ever want to go back to a generic wired mouse. The MX1000 has served me very well, with long working time between charges (typically 2 weeks or so) and smooth action. Now I have the chance to tell you about the MX1000’s successor: the new MX Revolution rechargeable cordless laser mouse.

DocuPen RC800 Handheld Color Scanner

When I reviewed PLANon’s DocuPen R700 portable scanner almost one year ago, I immediately realized how handy this device could be to a wide variety of people. Having a full page scanner that can easily stow in a gear bag was quite liberating. The only problem with the R700, was the fact that it scanned only in Black and White, and didn’t really do that great of a job. Luckily, PLANon, didn’t stop with the R700. They now have the RC800, which can scan in full 24bit color.

Keynamics AVIATOR Laptop Stand

Keeping your laptop computer elevated to a comfortable viewing angle and typing angle, while also allowing for good airflow, is the main features of a laptop stand. In the past several years, we’ve reviewed quite a few stands here at The Gadgeteer and now it’s time for another one. The AVIATOR stand from Keynamics is a simplified travel version of one of their stands that I reviewed 2 yrs ago.

Brando USB Rota-Rota Hub

Here at The Gadgeteer, we love to discover good things that come in small packages. If it’s tiny, designed well and useful, we’re as happy as geeks at a HamFest. That’s why I performed an internal happy dance when the USB Rota-Rota 4 port hub showed up in my mailbox the other day, all the way from Brando’s shop in Hong Kong. One of these days, I hope to visit Hong Kong and Brando’s shop, but until then, I will just have to settle for testing out his products.

Newton Peripherals MoGo Mouse

Try as I might, I have never been able to fall in love with the
little joystick that sits surrounded by the “G”, “H” and “B” keys
on my Fujitsu laptop. That’s why I have been interested in finding
a small mouse which I could pack and bring along when traveling.
Oh, I’ve dallied with a few over the years, but the first one to
really catch my eye was announced at this year’s CES – the Newton
Peripherals MoGo Mouse.

Walletex Wallet Flash 128MB Flash Drive

USB Flash based memory drives come in so many shapes and styles these days, it’s almost hard to remember the time when every computer didn’t have a USB port and a floppy disk was the most convenient way to transfer files between computers. Considering that USB ports are the only type port common to every

Plustek OpticSlim M12 Plus USB Portable Scanner

Longtime Gadgeteer readers may remember that I had previously mentioned how researching my family’s genealogy has become more than just a hobby. Fortunately genealogy was also my uncle’s passion, and when he died his vast collection of research materials was donated to Angelo State University‘s West Texas Collection. Having local access to his files has

The Ball Bluetooth Wireless Trackball

I have reviewed four different Bluetooth mice in the last couple of years. First there was Bluetake’s BT500. Next it was the Mouse BT from MacMice, then ThinkOutside’s Stowaway Travel Mouse and finally Bluetake’s BT510. At the end of each of my reviews I always had the same complaint regarding the fact that there wasn’t

Saitek Audio A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System

The house that we live in was built in 1928, but it had a major remodel in 1995. One of the many selling points when I purchased it in 1997 was the built-in stereo speaker system throughout, which was controlled by a multi-knobbed box which was attached to the wall by a bundle of cables.

DocuPen R700 Handheld Scanner

Being able to scan documents, magazine articles or pages from books is easy when you’re in the office with a flatbed scanner nearby. But doing that same action when you’re at a bookstore or library isn’t all that simple unless you plan to carry your laptop and a big flatbed scanner with you. The folks
