Logitech G35 Review (7/10)

Well I've had the Logitech G930 for a few days now and there was an opportunity to get a second headset. I debated on getting the Razer Megalodon to do a proper head-to-head comparison with the very impressive wireless unit from Logitech. Alas today is not that day (one day!), today I've got the Logitech G35. When I went to buy the G930 a few days previous, I had hoped to snag a G35 but they were out of stock. I was originally enamoured with the prospect of commuting witha wireless headset and while it was a decent concept - the risk of losing the relatively small dongle (and thus wiping out the value of the headset -- as they are permenantly paired) wasn't worth it. I needed a no-compromise wired headset. In my previous review of the G930 I commented that the G35 was a wired version of the G930. Oh how wrong I was....

Logitech G500 Review (9/10)


I've had a host of Logitech mice (and Logitech products in general) over the last long time. My recent history of fulltime mice has been: Logitech Elite Mouse, MX1000, MX510, MX518, G5 v1, G5 v2 and currently the G500. While I'm very satisfied with this mouse (for now), I can look back on my history of mice and tell you the Logitech design team needs a solid smack on the rear-end... what?


A fourth look at Global Agenda (v1.3.8.5)

This game has come a long way and a few hundred hours later (I think I ticked over 1000 hours a month or so ago) my impression of the game evened out and more importantly, I've had a chance to poke around with Hirez's development/interaction approach. And I'm afraid.

Running Series: Little Tweaks, Tips and Apps (Part 3)




I have had the luxury of working with multiple monitors for, well.... forever. The OS support for multiple monitors has come a long way over the last 15 years and even non-geeks can be found running dual-monitors these days. Regardless of whether your background is in graphics design, software development, day-trading, marketing there is a tick about a power user when they are setup with multiple monitors. Their secret is in their stash of shortcuts, tools and hacks. Keep in mind that although the focus for many of these tools is for multi-monitor setups, some of them apply even to single monitor users!
