Noble Press: I am not one for gamer centric devices. What I mean by this is I hate case lights, I despise ugly mice, and I cannot stand terribly designed hardware and finish. So naturally, coming into this review the Maurus had many points against it before I ripped open the packaging. The Scorpion on the Maurus was a bit much for me but I learned to get over it. My objective point of view, possibly bias in the respects to my harsh feelings about exterior design, was a good stance for our readers to gauge this product by. Since I personally do not game as much as I would like, to I had, Myke Mandel, star of “The Mandel Show”, assist me with the review. We spent two weeks with the mouse and used in a large assortment of games and scenarios. I hope you enjoy our review of this fantastic little mouse...
When it comes to PC accessories Jason Pitruzzello's household, he tends to go cheap. Between cats and a bad habit of spilling liquids on keyboards, input devices just don’t last that long. However, it was his actual pleasure to review Genius’s Luxemate T810 Wireless Media Center keyboard during the past few weeks. That’s a fancy name for a three-in-one keyboard, mouse and remote control that integrates with Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE). Intended to be not just a source of input for a PC, but also an all-in-one media-control suite, Genius claims their hardware is “…a total hardware solution for you to control media center features.” And they aren’t kidding, either.

Scratch: The Ultimate DJ was all set to compete against Activision's DJ Hero, but major legal issues delayed the game significantly. Now, the game has resurfaced -- in a form that doesn't use the high-end turntable controller. Numark (managing partner in Scratch DJ Game LLC) announced versions of the game for iPhone, iPad, and PC, due "later this year" -- which constitutes another delay, from the game's previous "spring" date.
The previously announced console versions of the game are not mentioned at all in the announcement, save for an oblique reference in the description of the Scratch Deck controller: "Additionally, Numark has developed a new full-function dual-turntable controller that enables players to manipulate both turntables simultaneously, which will be available for use with the game on a variety of platforms." While the PC may be one of those platforms, it's a safe bet that the controller isn't designed for use with the iPhone or iPad.
