Check out this little keyboard from VisionTek that does work with the Xbox 360! It also works with PC and PS3. For some reason I really want one, actually I want a couple of them for my Xbox 360 and my HTPC.

VisionTek Products, LLC today announced the North American launch of the CandyBoard their wireless mini keyboard with integrated touch pad, with plug & play 2.4GHz frequency USB dongle.  The keyboard is slightly bigger than the classic American candy bar and complements your collection of typical home remote controls. It features 69 keys and a “capacitive-sensing” touchpad that’s comparable to a real notebook touchpad, which eliminates the need for a separate mouse.   The media center PC is becoming the in-home library for movie storage and play back, creating a need for smaller and more efficient remote navigation.  The VisionTek CandyBoard features backlit LEDs keys to use in low-light environments, making it a perfect complement to any home theater PC or family room game console.

Record of Agarest War – The Really Naughty Limited Edition in Pictures

April 28th, 20102010-04-28T19:35:42ZF jS, Y Kristofer Brozio No comments

Y’know I try not to get most limited editions, as they usually just aren’t worth the money, and agarest19 they usually cost more than the game does. Record of Agarest War The Really Naughty Limited Edition though costs the normal price basically and it’s just one that i couldn’t pass up at all.

The game itself is one from Japan obviously and it’s a Strategy RPG game. I’m sort of fond of RPG games, but not all, I do however like those from Japan. The ones here from US companies just don’t seem as good. There are exception though of course as with anything, but for the most part, the Japanese know how to make an RPG game better than anyone else!

So today I have for you a sort of pictorial unboxing, be warned though it might be considered NSFW depending where you are.. but I don’t think it is..

Review: Konnet Power Pyramid (Controller Charging Station)

February 2nd, 20102010-02-02T15:14:57ZF jS, Y Kristofer Brozio No comments

Hello All! Today I’ve got another Xbox360 accessory review for you, this one though is for yourkonnet11 controllers. Buying the charge and play kits can be expensive, and it’s cheaper to just buy a battery by itself as we know. The problem here is that you’ll need at least one charging cable, and then if you’ve got four controllers you have to share that cable with all of them so charging can take quite a while.

Konnet has sent me over the Power Pyramid Xbox360 Controller Charging Station for review today. The Power Pyramid can charge four controllers at one time, and comes with a power supply so you don’t have to worry about USB ports. It’s a product that looks good, and works well, it’s great accompaniment to your Xbox360…
