Keychron M3 Mouse

Read More

Keychron, well known makers of decent mechanical keyboards, is offering their first mouse. Basically, it uses cheap plastics to keep the weight and costs down, but high end sensors to keep the motions accurate and fast. In fact, I think this is the cheapest mouse on the market that uses the 3395 optical sensor.

Good for gaming or productivity really…

Lumina Desk

Read More

The Lumina is a height adjustable desk with a built in OLED screen capable of running things like Google Calendar, the weather, etc… And it’s pretty smartly designed. The one main drawback that will lead to its failure? The screen is not touch enabled – forcing the user to use a mouse and keyboard for interaction. Ohh… that and it’s probably going to be very expensive.

Basically, this a great idea… but, in my opinion, this is a great idea that you should used for inspiration to build your own using a Raspberry Pi and a touch screen.

PRODRIVE & CALLUM

Read More

A reader saw my simulator post and decided to one-up me. Introducing the $46,000 simulator crafted for Prodrive by Callum’s studio. It’s insanely expensive and incredibly gorgeous. But one has to ask – why not use that 50k on an actual race car?

Racing Sims

Read More

After a post from last week, I was emailed lots of questions about Racing Sims and where to get acquainted. I would suggest watching some YouTube videos to get an idea of what you are in for… From what I understand, it can get very expensive… But from what little experience I have, I can tell you that it is crazy immersive and about as close as you can get to the real thing without risking health.

Anyway, I recommend two channels:

  1. GPLaps. This guy focuses on vintage racing on older platforms that have mods to make the cars handle realistically. This looks less serious and more fun perhaps?
  2. Super GT. Modern GT racing… This guy races with a lot of F1 drivers, but mostly Lando… Super entertaining.

Stilo VR

Read More

Racing Sims are getting ridiculous. Hell, half the F1 grid came up on them and the realism often prepares them as well or better than carting. And now, we add VR? Absolutely crazy realism.

Adding to this, Stilo is getting ready to launch a helmet designed to work with VR goggles.
