"Corsair MM200 Gaming Mouse Mat" - Take a look at it and you will love it !!

Well, I know you are thinking that why I am reviewing a mouse mat. So, first thing you should know about this mat is : "It is not an ordinary mouse mat like others". It has so many features which other mouse mat's don't have. I will describe all the features of this fantastic mouse mat one by one.

So, starting from its dimensions : It comes in 5 different editions which are different in their size :

1. Compact Edition

   Size : 265mm × 210mm

2. Standard Edition

   Size : 360mm × 300mm

3. Wide Edition

   Size : 430mm × 280mm

4. XL Edition

   Size : 450mm × 375mm

5. Extended Edition

   Size : 930mm × 300mm

The cloth of MM200 mat is designed in such a technical way that it provides a perfect gliding surface for your mouse to glide over it easily and also you can perform fast swipes during a game to kill your enemy faster by pointing the gun to his head .

The material of the mat is made up of flexible microscopic particles which can track any gaming mouse sensors.

We all know that during a racing game or shooting game, we have to swipe our mouse many times due to which the mouse pad usually slip from the surface of computer table or any other surface but 'Corsair MM200' overcome this problem by providing a 1.5 mm no-slip base under the mat and this coating is made up of natural rubber so it doesn't have a harsh chemical odor or you can say it is economic.

The texture or colour of the mat is very good and its surface will give you smooth and excellent control even during fast swipes. Due to its microscopic particles you can make consistent and accurate shots very easily and its base of natural rubber resists the grouping and sliding even when you are gaming very hard.

THE VERDICT :

Its quick and high accuracy movements can help you to swipe your mouse easier and faster and also its material is fully optimized for the gaming mouse sensors. I recommend you to buy its 'Standard Edition' as it perfectly suits any desktop or pc.

PS Vita vs XBox Kinect - Which one to Choose?

PS Vita vs XBox Kinect - Which one to Choose?

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 / No Comments

"Whether to get the PS Vita or the Kinect?" Well, before we answer this question, first let's take a brief look at what these devices actually are.

Released back in December, 2011 the PS Vita is handheld gaming console marketed and manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment, and is the successor to the very popular good old Playstation Portable.
Whereas the PS Vita is a complete gaming package itself, the Kinect is more of an addition accessory. Compatible with Xbox and Windows PC, the Kinect is motion sensing input device that allows users control and interact using gestures and body movements without the need of a controller.

Your final decision on which one to buy will largely based on a basic fact: whether you enjoy your games in your living room, or you want to enjoy gaming on the go.

PS VITA

If you travel a lot and you can game while you travel then it is hands-down the better alternative of the two. Sony knows how to make gaming much more than 'just fun' and compared to other handheld gaming consoles in the market, the Vita offers console-quality graphics (PS3/XBox).
That said, even though it offers some great games, it lacks quality RPGs (Role-Playing Games) and Shooters.

 XBox Kinect

While the PS Vita is a complete gaming solution you can carry around in your pocket, the Kinect is much more powerful and innovative. The numbers of games designed for the Kinect may be limited, but the experience is simply great. The Kinect is great for a somewhat better proposition for an overall better gaming experience, with games that require actual physical movements right in the comfort of you living room. In addition, you can use voice commands to control NETFLIX, use Skype on the largest screen in the house and much more.

The Verdict

Simply put, if you game while you travel, the PS Vita is the way to go. If you want better the utilization of your TV with Skype and controlling NETFLIX without lifting a finger, (with the option of motion gaming too), the Kinect is the better option.

The Sabertooth X-99 motherboard was presented by ASUS at CeBIT 2015 which is an IT show and a conference programme that showcases product innovations from all over the world. The Sabertooth X-99 has a robust design and also having some of the gaming and overclocking capabilities.The Sabertooth X-99  comes with the TUF(The Ultimate Force) which is supported by the last longer 5 years of warranty i.e.,2 years more than the other motherboards. The front and back panel of the motherboard is same as that of its predecessor to maintain its tradition and it also provides protection against the dust for the unused slots.
The rear panel is slightly modified and now a new function is introduced that provides an airflow through the radiators of cooling holes power section.Although the appearance of 'USB 3.1 type-A'  ports which are in turquoise color is awesome and they are managed by the ASMedia controller, due to USB 3.1 ports the data transfer speed is increased.
Another new quality in the ASUS Sabertooth X99 is the TUF (The Ultimate Force)Detective tool, which is a combination of hardware and software that is combined with a connection from the rear USB ports to a particular application on your smartphone, by using this application you can easily turn on the computer, restart it , clear the CMOS, check voltages and clock speeds. This new feature is quite similar as ROG Connect (gaming motherboards series), but this time ASUS's main focus is on smartphones and tablets, and ignoring the OC.
The Sabertooth X-99 has fabulous fan speed settings to 11 onboard headers, in which the each header works with both three- and four-pin spinners. These headers are supported by 12 temperature sensors and controlled by a dedicated chip. Asus claims that the hardware-based fan controller needs only one second to repond to changes, regardless of the system load. Also, the electrostatic protection for the input-output ports which are on the back panel is improved.

It is interesting that ASUS claims that Sabertooth X99 is the first consumer desktop motherboard that offers full support for storage devices for all NVM Express, including M.2 and SFF-8639 through the mini-SAS HD expansion card or ‘Hyper Kit’.This all are the benefits of PCIe 3.0 x4.
