 Razer Aurantia Gaming Keyboard

I am a big fan of Razer gaming gear and use a Razer Lycosa keyboard and a Razer Lachesis gaming mouse all the time. Typically when Razer releases new gear, gamers in America are the first to get our hands on it. Razer’s latest offering is different and will be offered exclusively in China.

The Razer Aurantia is called an ultra-portable keyboard and measures in at 446mm L x 205mm W x 29mm H with the wrist rest attached. The keyboard has 104 fully programmable keys that are labeled in English. The keyboard has the features you would expect form Razer like the ability to record macros and to disable the Windows key.

Novint and Valve Team Up to Make Popular Valve Titles Falcon Compatible

 Novint Falcon

Not so long ago I spent some time reviewing the Novint Falcon game controller. The Falcon adds greatly to the immersion in games with one catch. Only games specifically programmed to work with the Falcon are compatible and many of the coolest games lack the needed compatibility.

Novint and Valve announced today that they have signed an agreement to add compatibility with the Novint Falcon to some of Valve’s most popular video game titles. Valve says that it will add Falcon touch compatibility to The Orange Box, Counter-Strike: Source, the Half-life 2 series, Team fortress 2 and Portal.
