OCZ Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse


OCZ Technology Group isn’t exactly a name which rolls off the tongue when one thinks of computer gaming peripherals. OCZ, normally known for manufacturing high-performance memory and components, hopes to change that by unveiling a new PC gaming mouse known as the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse.

One thing you will notice right away about the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse is its bold blue design. This mouse body houses a rodent ready to game. One of the chief features of this mouse is its Triple Threat button. This button, set near the scroll wheel, is normally used for double click actions like opening documents. When engaged in game mode however, the Triple Threat button boosts a gamer’s fire rate by providing a firing rate of three times for each click.

Another feature which OCZ thinks will make the Equalizer Laser Mouse stand out is its six levels of DPI sensitivity. These levels, which range from 400 to 2,500, are generated from a dual laser engine and can be adjusted on the fly for greater sensitivity via a button in the upper portion of the mouse’s body.

The Equalizer Laser Mouse, which is wired, has a right-handed ergonomic design and connects to a computer via a gold-plated USB connector. It sports a no-slip grip and also comes equipped with back and forward buttons in addition to the DPI and Triple Threat ones.

Two versions of the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse, both with a six-year warranty, will be available. These versions include desktop and mobile sizes and are offered up as options to fit a user’s different portability and size preferences. Software is also included for customization.

Watching Tim Cook defend the Magic Mouse is pure gold
Tim Cooking looking confused.

If Tim Cook made a list of all the things he expected to talk about at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), you can bet the Magic Mouse wasn't on it. But thanks to tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee's interview, Cook was faced with the considerable task of ranking the Magic Mouse alongside other "top" Apple products like the MacBook Air, the iPad, the iPhone, and the Vision Pro.

After a pretty pronounced pause, the Apple CEO refers to the mouse as "an incredible moment," but his efforts to come up with the right comment for the product failed spectacularly. Infamous for its badly positioned charging port and design that seems to completely ignore the shape and comfort of the human hand, the Magic Mouse is one of the most memed Apple products out there. So which part of it did Cook decide to praise? The ergonomics.

This simple app was a surprising upgrade to my gaming PC
The Digital Trends website on the KTC G42P5.

You've been there before. You boot up a game for the first time, click through the various engine and publisher screens, and arrive on the main menu. And just like that, your ears get blasted with music and you have to quickly minimize the game in a flash-bang fog to adjust your system volume down. Well, I have good news as I've discovered an app that makes adjusting your volume much easier.

It's called JustScroll, and it does exactly what the name suggests. You just use your mouse wheel to adjust the volume on your PC. It's a simple, ingenious piece of kit, and although it's not strictly necessary, it's been a huge convenience in terms my gaming PC.

How to customize mouse gestures on Mac
Apple Magic Mouse on a desk.

Did you know that you can still pull off gestures and haptic tricks with a Mac computer, even without a touchscreen? Such feats are possible, just as long as you own an Apple Magic Mouse. Far more than a sleek-looking desk accessory, the Magic Mouse functions much like a MacBook trackpad. Taps, long presses, swipes, and pinches (among other actions) deliver a number of results, and you’ll be able to customize these commands, too.
