			<title>Das Keyboard Professional</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/582/Das-Keyboard-Professional/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Any keyboard will type, but the Das Keyboard Professional (and Ultimate) take the decades-proven IBM standard and make it perfect.  Each key is crafted, every keystroke is perfect.  The sound coming off it is musical.  Gaming being just as important as typing, this machine turns would-be broken little fingers into nimble sprinting, crouching, or whatever you bind to left shift.]]></description>

			<title>Apple Wireless Keyboard</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/535/Apple-Wireless-Keyboard/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Mmm, Mac hardware. Sharp. Purposeful. Tasty. Downright industrial designelicious. Half of the people who make the vaunted switch do so because of this keyboard. I mean, not literally this keyboard, but because of the engineering and style that this wireless device is the apex embodiment of. The keyboard is small because it&#039;s cut down; the keys are standard but a lot is sacrificed to make the whole package as miniscule as possible without cramping digits. I see a lot of potential in this input device, and not because it&#039;s portable. But I also can&#039;t help but wonder, can design be taken too far?]]></description>

			<title>Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/523/Logitech-MX-Air-Cordless-Mouse/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Logitech continues to innovate and redesign one of the most basic elements of computing: the mouse.  I&#039;ve been fortunate enough to have reviewed several of their offerings over the past few years and have been impressed with nearly all. It&#039;s been several months since I first received the MX Air, and my schedule has finally slowed enough for me to get some words down.  Rather than give a detailed account of every last feature, I thought I would share a little about what life is like with this quality mouse.]]></description>

			<title>Razer Diamondback 3G Gaming Mouse</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/463/Razer-Diamondback-3G-Gaming-Mouse/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[People who have used Razer products rarely have ambiguous opinions about them.  Nobody ever picked up a Diamondback in 2004 and said, &quot;As far as input devices go, it has buttons, and wiggles a cursor.&quot;  Reactions are completely polar, and users either say they&#039;re ready to settle down and have kids with the thing, or that they wouldn&#039;t touch it if it was cut from tangible enlightenment.]]></description>

			<title>Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/455/Logitech-Cordless-Desktop-Wave/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[As a keyboard snob, I have to preface this with a forewarning: I hate ergonomic keyboards.  I find that they tweak my tendons (or don&#039;t tweak them enough) and muss with my muscle memory.  They cause me to make typos and my fingers feel crammed together.  I don&#039;t like scaled-down keyboards or keyboards that are missing keys due to the fact that most people don&#039;t use them.  I use &#039;em all, even insert.  (OK, maybe not scroll lock, but I&#039;d use it in a pinch if I, er, knew what it did.) The truth is that the first keyboards and their mechanical predecessors needed little improvement.  My grandmother, who shakes holding a pen, can still type faster than I can speak.  Competitive typers all use straight keyboards, and rely on pianist&#039;s reflexes and ruler&#039;s-edge posture to crack out pages.  The ergonomic multimedia keyboard does what an army of secretaries can&#039;t do: they make using a computer friendly.]]></description>

			<title>Sandio 3D Game O&#039; Mouse</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/451/Sandio-3D-Game-O-Mouse/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Mice are a critical, yet lower cost component of your high performance PC. A cheap $9.99 mouse might not be able to get you very far in your quest to become the champion of your favorite game. Sandio shipped us their new 3D Game O&#039; Mouse. Quite the mouthful, huh? I&#039;m not quite sure what the &quot;O&#039;&quot; is in there for. Product naming aside, Sandio is promoting the mouse as innovative. By allowing the user to manipulate the mouse with additional four-way HAT switches located within easy reach, the mouse can simulate a full six degrees of freedom - you&#039;ll be able to move throughout 3D space fluidly. It sounds interesting, but how well will I be able to move through space? Will it give me an edge in games? Will 3D applications, like Google Earth and Doom, and 2D arenas, like Photoshop and Warcraft III, be improved by the 6DOF?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Logitech wowed us in person at CES with what had to be the prettiest keyboard ever made.  Now we&#039;ve got one on-hand to get down and dirty with. The question is, is it all sex and no love?  And can it really be worth the sky-high pricetag?]]></description>

			<title>Logitech NuLOOQ Navigator</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/378/Logitech-NuLOOQ-Navigator/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Logitech&#039;s NuLOOQ Navigator is one of the more interesting devices I&#039;ve seen in the past few years. It&#039;s an attempt to create a new breed of devices; it&#039;s more than a mouse, it&#039;s not a tablet, it&#039;s a new way to move around your computer environment. But is it just another gadget or is it really useful? Will it change my usage patterns or just become an expensive paperweight? The details lie ahead.]]></description>

			<title>Logitech MX Revolution Wireless Laser Mouse</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/314/Logitech-MX-Revolution-Wireless-Laser-Mouse/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Logitech MX Revolution is their newest flagship model featuring wireless connectivity and a swooping new design.  A meek remodeling this is not.  Bold lines carve sharp curves into this input device while a new technology promises to deliver "The World's Most Advanced Mouse", but we'll see about that.  It does have lasers, so that's a good start.]]></description>

			<title>Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/260/Logitech-G15-Gaming-Keyboard/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[When it comes to computer keyboards, things haven't changed much over the past 15 years. We've seen some minor changes like the addition of multimedia controls, the reorganization of rarely used keys, and most recently wireless connectivity. When I first heard about a keyboard with a flip-up LCD, I knew it was something different. With the introduction of the G15 keyboard Logitech delivered a refreshingly unique product into an otherwise boring market. It"s easy for a company to just push a keyboard onto the market without much effort or thought, but it is immediately clear that is not the road Logitech took with the G15.]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/256/Microsoft-Laser-Mouse-6000/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[And we're down to the last one. The final laser mouse I have for review is Microsoft's Laser Mouse 6000. This is the little brother to their Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, yet the two look nothing alike. And, also unlike its big brother, the non-wireless model is directly targeted at the gaming market.

This lighter and svelter model takes on the look of a gaming device with a smooth graphite-like color scheme and no frills button layout. Come to think of it, perhaps this is more like a first cousin to the wireless version. The sculpted contours and ergo-friendly designs are less dramatic in the wireless model yielding a simple, and ambidextrous, mouse. The big question today is, how will Microsoft's new &quot;gaming&quot; mouse compete with the likes of Logitech and Razer?]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/254/Microsoft-Wireless-Laser-Mouse-6000/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has jumped straight into the laser mouse fray with the likes of Logitech and Razer.  However, Microsoft is hardly new to the game and usually put together decent input devices. Previous laser mice I have reviewed have been primarily gaming specific, and while Microsoft doesn't blatantly tout this particular mouse as being a gamer's best friend, I certainly won't shy away from giving it a good first person shooter thrashing.]]></description>

			<title>Logitech G5 Corded Laser Mouse</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/244/Logitech-G5-Corded-Laser-Mouse/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I was quite impressed with the performance of the wireless version of this mouse, the G7. Several innovations adorned the smooth and precise wireless mouse and I expect to see similar features on the G5. The G5 shares the same on-the-fly DPI switching and customizable SetPoint software. Logitech started this laser mouse trend last year with their MX1000 model. The MX1000 was a capable desktop mouse with 1,000 DPI resolution. But now Logitech is proving that lasers are becoming more than a gimmick to sell $70 mice. The G5 is an evolution in resolution boasting 2,000 DPI. Logitech is blatantly flirting with the gaming crowd now with the G5 and G7. And with Razer and Microsoft looking for a bite of the laser market, Logitech might have their work cut out for them.]]></description>
