I-ROCKS X-SLIM EL
KEYBOARD
& CROSS-DIRECTION OPTICAL MOUSE
The
good people over at PCUSA Corp have just release a couple new products,
and we've been testing them out for the past few days. The first item is
the X Slim Keyboard with Electron Luminescence. The second item is a
Cross-Directional Optical Mouse. Let's take a look at cool goodies and
see if they are better than your average keyboard and mouse...
Let's take a look at the keyboard first. We've seen a few luminescent
keyboards in the past, so far each one we've tested have turned out to
be an outstanding keyboard. As it turns out, this one carries on that
tradition. Let's take a look at the specs.

The
keyboard layout is similar to that of a notebook keyboard. Even the
keystrokes feel like that of a notebook keyboard. I really love the way
the keys feel and respond. It actually makes typing enjoyable again.
Luminescent keyboards are awesome. Not only do they look cool, they
really help when it comes to gaming or typing in the dark. If you don't
want the keyboard to glow, there is a little on and off button at the
top-right corner. The only problem is with my preference. I prefer to
use a full size keyboard or an ergo keyboard. Compact keyboards like
this one make my hands and arms cramp us. However, my wife is just the
opposite, she hates full size keyboards and loves compact keyboards like
this one. In fact she told me if I didn't give the i-rock keyboard to
her, she was going to stuff her big keyboard somewhere that sounded
really painful... : ) Not wanting to dare my wife, the i-rock
keyboard is hers!
