Razer offers Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Collector’s Edition product line

Posted: 01 Oct 2011 05:30 AM PDT

Hmmm, I would have thought that with summer blockbusters well behind us now, no one would want to continue flogging the Transformers movie franchise with tie-in products. Apparently I’m wrong, or someone over at Razer must have gotten their calendars all mixed up. Razer has teamed up with Hasbro to commemorate the release of the third instalment of the Transformers movie on DVD and Blu-ray releases by offering a collector’s edition peripheral line.

Folks who have been eyeing a mouse from Razer all this while but never really got to it might be pleased to know that the Razer DeathAdder mouse will now come in four special versions that feature Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Shockwave, where all four legends are crafted and transmuted to deliver unparalleled gaming performance with a Transformers slant.

What’s the whole point of a mouse if there is no proper surface for it to glide across? This is where Razer’s got your back as well, with the dual-sided Razer Vespula mouse mat that features one side representing the Autobots alongside a speed-enhancing surface, while flipping it over will reveal a control-enhancing surface that showcases your favored allegiance. After all, don’t the Decepticons love to control the situation?

You will be able to pick up the special edition Razer DeathAdder: Transformers: Dark of the Moon Collector's Edition Gaming Mouse for $59.99 or €59.99 if you happen to live across the pond. Of course, the hardware specifications will remain the same as that of the stock DeathAdder mouse, including a 3500dpi 3.5G infrared sensor, 1000Hz Ultrapolling with 1ms response time, 5 Hyperesponse buttons, and On-the-Fly sensitivity adjustments. Bear in mind that if you are a southpaw like me, clearly we are discriminated against since Razer’s special edition DeathAdder mouse is clearly meant for right handers only. Sniff!

The Razer Vespula is not going to be that cheap either, retailing for $34.99 Stateside and €34.99 in Europe.

Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer

Posted: 01 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Most dogs don’t take to a leash too kindly the first time you slip it onto them – the secret is to let them know that you’re the pack leader, and they’re supposed to follow a step behind you whenever the both of you take a walk. Any tugging or pulling is a no-no, but what happens when you think that you’ve exhausted all avenues, including those pronged collars that might seem a tad painful to some, and nothing has worked so far?

Perhaps this $39.95 Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer might be able to help. This ultrasonic device is meant to help you train your four legged friend walk without tugging your arm off, especially if it is a large and active breed. You will attach the Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer between the leash and collar, and whenever Fido decides to tug, the built-in speaker will emit a harmless ultrasonic tone which irritates your furball without being audible to you. That’ll teach him to walk in step!

The more the dog tugs, the louder the ultrasonic tone becomes, and you can adjust it up to four volume levels. Nice to know that this tone will be directed to the leashed pet so that others in the vicinity will not be disturbed, and it is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.

I’m not sure if this is waterproof though, so you might want to remember removing this from the collar before you let Fido off for a swim.
