Bridging the USB-PS/2 gap

Advantages: allows you to use PS/2 devices on a USB port, cheap, easy
Disadvantages: none

Well isn't this a nifty little device? Doesn't it get annoying when you don't have enough space to plug in more PS/2 devices to your PC? PS/2 is becoming obsolete now and sometimes you will get computers without ports for them, including one of my laptops. Another problem with PS/2 ports are that they are always hard to get to; not only will you never find one on a frontal port section (on the front of a PC case) but at the back they are always ...
...would be unlikely to know what a PS/2 port looks like, but will probably know what a USB port looks like! Anyway, I was getting annoyed at my latest laptop for not having any PS/2 ports, since I was planning to use it for gaming and my favourite keyboard and mouse for gaming are both USB. So I went back to the shop I bought it from and asked a helpful member of staff at the counter to save me from this hell. Then he pulled this from a shelf behind ...

Review of Belkin USB PS/2 Adapter keyboard / mouse adapter

DS stylus: can come in handy!

Advantages: cheap and a main component for using your DS
Disadvantages: small and easily lost (but that's why you'll need more)

The Nintendo DS stylus is one of the most important components of the DS console as without it you cannot use the amazing touchscreen - or you can at least try with your fingers but will probably end up hitting about 4 buttons at once rather than that desired one. Most DS games also use the touchscreen as a main feature during the games for example in accessing certain functions or even in some games the whole idea is based on the use of the touchscreen. ...
...very touchscreen which makes the Nintendo Ds so unique and desirable. And the stylus is what makes it work - like a key for your car - you wouldn't be able to get anywhere without the key. So why would you need another stylus? - I guess you may be asking this question. The answer is quite simple as the stylus is rather small and acts as an important part it is vital that you always have one. But due to it being so small it can easily get lost or ...

Review of Nintendo Stylus for Nintendo DS

For the oldies

Advantages: Reasonably priced and do a great job
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...that doesn't have to. AF Screen-Clene cleaning wipes are almost half the price of the Belkin equivalent and are readily available in most good computer shops for around £2.49 - £2.99 for a tub containing 100 wipes. The wipes are not very large, about the size of a women's handkerchief, and are impregnated with a cleaning solution, which brings your screen up nicely. There is no need to go over the top cleaning a quick wipe around the outside of ...
...suffice. The cleaning solution contains alcohol and therefore evaporates away quick once the screen has been cleaned. You can obviously use them on a CRT monitor as well, but with them being glass there re other methods of cleaning equally as good. In cleaning the screen and indeed the keyboard, and mouse they do a great job, they have though a far superior purpose for us oldies. Get that old vinyl out of storage and give it a treat. These wipes ...

Review of AF Screen-Clene cleaning wipes

One Of the best headsets

This Headset is the classic type of headset , with big ear muffs. It is very comfortable , it kinda relax your ears and the muffs are very soft .

It has an in line remote to adjust the volume ( a little wheel on the cable that ...
.... About the sound now . It realy realy sounds great . It is like your are in the middle of the action . It gives you the feeling that you have a whole surround sistem not headsets. It is great for games ( especially for shooters and multiplayer games ) and has a very nice bass that fells great and sounds real . If you turn the volume at max the sound is still wonderful , its quality doesnt' drop much ( jut a little bit ) . Also they are pretty cheap. ...

Review of Creative Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Headset

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Advantages: Excellent sound and build quality
Disadvantages: Microphone not very flexible

...how has their replacement, the Sennheiser PC 131 headset, coped in such an environment? Read on for my opinion..... Uses I use these headphones everyday for online gaming (with Ventrilo), listening to music on my PC and for SKYPE. The headset is SKYPE certified. Product Description The headset has two 3.5mm jacks- one for the microphone and one for the headphones. This means that not only can they be used with your PC but also with ...
...Mostly it is unintentional. This Sennheiser headset has survived everything with not even a scratch. It truly is a well built piece of kit. Sound Quality One word can sum up the sound quality- superb. The sound has plenty of bass, clarity and detail and matches (even surpasses) headsets dedicated to enjoying music. The 'noise-cancelling' microphone delivers clear and good sound. I have had some complaints in the past that my voice is barely ...
