Smell my flash storage!

Maxell Europe have decided to improve on the standard features of USB storage and make their flash drives smell of nice things like chocolate and oranges, in fact the full list of ‘flavours’ are: Strawberry, Apple, Chocolate, Lemon and Orange. Gimmicks aside, the flash drives are splashproof and shockproof (but last time i looked so is any normal USB flash device).

I wonder if they’ll try a Walkers-esque marketing campaign of new flavours… fish ‘n’ chips scented flash drives anyone?

I couldn’t find an official site for the Maxell Aroma range of flash drives, but you can pick them up at Play.com – £12 for 8Gb.

Ooh shiny.

Whilst recently searching for new drivers for my Razer Copperhead mouse i stumbled across Razer’s new offering, the Razer “Mamba” which quite frankly looks awesome. The mouse is both wireless and wired, and as far as I know it’s the first wireless mouse Razer have produced. It also features 5600dpi tracking, which is a number so big it can’t be bad, but unfortunately the price is equally as big, at around £120 ($176).

Battery life is stated to be  14hrs of continuous gaming, and 72 hours of ‘normal gaming usage’… I don’t actually know what consitutes ‘normal gaming usage’, when I’m gaming normally it tends to be continuous anyway, for many sweaty hours.

Price point aside, worth checking out if you’re a gamer that fancies a bit of expensive but lag and wire free gaming.
