Review : Steelseries Merc Stealth

2009-11-25T17:55:00.002+08:00

Next review, Steelseries Merc Stealth Keyboard.
i bought this combo with the mouse and the price is the same as the mouse.

this is the box. The keyboard itself it quite heavy *cannot lift it up to play guitar hero~ :p

out of the box~ in the box, it only consist of the keyboard it self, manual and the brochure. the software for the keyboard you have to download yourself at here

SteelSeries Merc Stealth Highlights:

- SteelSeries Z Engine enables programmability of all keys

- Pre-defined profiles for more than 150 games

- 3 color illumination options: blue, purple and red

- Internal hub with 2 USB ports

- Anti-ghosting capability: Up to 7 simultaneous keystrokes

- Special gaming key area

- Rubberized movement keys for enhanced tactile feedback

full spec : click here

compare the size with the old logitech keyboard

this are the color available~

What the best part of the keyboard is, almost all the key you can set to macro. the software is quite slow and not so friendly. other than that, two thumbs up~ :D

ps: again, this is not a review rite? lol

Review : Steelseries Ikari Laser

2009-11-13T20:11:00.003+08:00

Remember i bought my steelseries qck?
hop on there to see my first steelseries product~ :D

Next steelseries product is.....

Presenting the Ikari Laser~ shiiiing~

This is my third gaming mouse after the Razer Copperhead had some problem with the clicking thingy and the Aztech X7 mouse wire had been exposed.

The packaging are quite simple and elegant~ :p

i'm not a hardcore gamer but i dunno why i spend so much to buy things like this~ :(

Here's what in the package :

The mouse

The software, sticker, manual, and other product booklet

the mouse does not require any driver, just plug and play. the software are used to set the macro button, CPI, profile etc~

and the silica gel~

before i proceed, click here for official spec and others

I do the pros and cons based on my experience with razer copperhead and aztech x7

pros:

-definitely better grip compare to Razer and slightly better than Az X7
-macros button are easily set compare to Aztech X7 which is confusing me.
the razer is user friendly too.. :P
-can set CPI (counts per inch in increment of 1) compare to razer and aztech both of the mouse has certain value of DPI (dots per inch) maybe the term is different, but the concept is the same i think.
-large teflon surface under the mouse.
as in the picture

-can change the CPI on the fly~ woot~
-the 'sleeved' and long cable
-can wrote ur name under the mouse :p

cons:

-freaking expensive
-less 2 buttons compare to Razer and same button as Aztech X7
-quite large but it fits my large hand perfectly (according to others, it is too large)
-cant think of any :P

maybe it is not a review..its only based on my experience using this mouse and if you have any question, just hit it~

update : i bought in online at lowyat.net forum~

ps: 2 more papers to go~

Mirror Cube and Void Cube

2009-09-07T21:20:00.004+08:00

Today is holiday. setup a few thing on the project i have to do till noon. i cant preview it yet because i have to show it to the project director first.

weekend roundup:

Friday :
i have two classes on Friday. English and Spacecraft subsystem element.
During the English class, my body started to brake down. after finish the class, i quickly go to the USM medical centre. Took my number and went in to see the medical staff.

after she examine me, (check temperature and blood pressure), she then asked me to go see the doctor.

temp : 38+ Celsius
blood pressure : unknown

high fever, cough, flu

the doctor gave me one day MC since its already Friday.
and she also prohibit me to enter next class which i actually have test on that day.
My lecturer is pregnant, so i dont want to transfer my fever to her. :D i'm a nice student..am i? :p

on that day also my parent came all the way from Alor Star to pick me up. Thanx MAK & ABAH. I will never pay what you had done to me. :)

Saturday :
nothing interesting. the second day i did not fast. :p

Sunday :
Back to the title of the post.. :p
On the way from my home to campus, we stopped by at Megamall Penang.
bought a few softwares and 2 new cubes

Mirror cube :
it have the same color. the differ is only the size of each cube. very interesting.

Void cube:
it is similar to the 3x3x3 cube. it does not have centre. so it is same if you peel off you original 3x3x3 cube centre stickers/caps.

if you think this is easier than the normal 3x3x3 cube, you're WRONG. when you want to solve this cube, you will encounter some parity. google on void cube parity and you will see what i meant. :D

that's all from now.. :)

Manhattan Fish Market @ Autocity, Juru

2009-08-31T11:10:00.008+08:00

Happy Independence Day Malaysia :)

For starters and appetizers, we choose the Fried Country Mushrooms.

Than, we ordered the Manhattan Chowder. Yesterday soup-of-the-day is salmon. They also have the clam and seafood chowder.

it has a fancy taste though. i don't know how to describe it. but not my personal favorite.

and for the main dish, we ordered the Ramadhan promotion set. Satis-Fish-ion set for 2.

*click image for larger viewing pleasure*

2 sides that we had chosen are the Garlic Butter Rice and the chips

here come the waiter to fired up the prawns. oh my, the creamy sauces thingy is marvelous. the prawns are my favorite. :D

the complete-large potion-set for 2. *if you're a girl, please bring 1 more friend. the portion is too much to handle.*

we ended up did not touch the chips at all..huu~

+ the chips is not that good :p

and for the dessert, brownie with chocolate ice cream.

you can choose to have chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream.

and now come the best part..the total damage for our break fast yesterday

RM63.60 the Ramadhan set
RM8.90 Salmon Chowder
RM9.90 Fried country mushrooms
±tax and service

Grand total : RM94.75

Spudz Microfiber Cloth

2009-08-29T10:13:00.007+08:00

Last week, i ordered a 6" x 6" version which cost me around RM28.
it's not just a cleaning cloth to clean your lens. it has a 2-1 function.

Clean & calibrate your camera!

Now you can clean and calibrate with the unique 2-in-1 Spudz Photo Cloth. This unique microfiber cloth is available in an 18% gray colour. The 18% gray cloth is more compact than gray cards and will set the white balance on most digital cameras.

i snap a macro picture of the Spudz cloth and compare it with the cleaning cloth that i get from the cleaning set.

heres the shot for the Spudz cloth

ignore the black part.i'm not used to this reverse lens technique.

and here's the cleaning cloth from the cleaning set that i bought.

the picture is not blur. it IS like that.. :p

i used both of them to clean my lens and my lcd. the spudz did an amazing job to clear all the oil/natural oil? + dust on the lens and the lcd. the normal cleaning cloth is much the same to clean the dust, but when it come to clean the oil/greasy stuff/what ever u called it, spudz is the best.

the price for the spudz it self cost me RM28 and for the price rm25, i get a cleaning set which have cleaning cloth, cotton swab, blower, lens tissue, and a liquid to clean the lens.

ps: for the function to calibrate you WB, i dont know much about it yet.. :p

ps2 : ingt nk mkn nando's ari nih..tp mcm x jd ja.. :(

Jetpod Crashed

2009-08-17T13:11:00.006+08:00

Remember the post about my industrial visit during my second year of study..we had visit the Avcen Limited company. During our visit, they still in the assembly stage. Yesterday, during the test flight, the jetpod crashed and killed the pilot..here's full news taken from the star

TAIPING: A prototype of the ‘flying taxi’ belonging to British-based Avcen Ltd crashed and burst into flames during a test flight from Tekah airstrip, killing its inventor Michael Robert Dacre.

Dacre, 53, who is also Avcen’s managing director, died in the 12.30pm crash yesterday. He was piloting the newly-assembled Jetpod.

Disaster scene: Fire and rescue personnel checking the wreckage of the Jetpod which crashed during the test flight in Taiping yesterday.
Avcen Limited Malaysia is based at Patimas Technology Centre, Technology Park, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur and Dacre had intended for the eight-seater flying taxi to be ready in 2010.

Taiping deputy police chief Supt Syed Abdul Wahab Abdul Majid said Dacre suffered severe burns and injuries and died at the scene.

The incident was witnessed by many residents including retired soldier Halim Hamid.

Halim, 50, who resides at nearby Taman Saujana Jaya said he was scooping shrimps to feed his pet fish at a pond about 50m from where the aircraft had crashed.

“Earlier, I saw it revving down the runway thrice but it could not take off and later another three times in the opposite direction.”

“However, on the fourth run, the jet took off but at about 200m high, it shot vertically to the sky before veering to the left and falling to the ground.”

“There was a loud explosion when it crashed and firemen who were at the scene managed to put out the blaze,” said Halim.

He said the Jetpod, brought in parts in a lorry container, arrived at the airstrip about a week ago.

Police personnel at the scene were seen collecting the pilot’s burnt and dismembered limbs from the wreckage before sending them to the Taiping hospital mortuary.

Some of the residents said a co-pilot had wanted to accompany the deceased on the test flight but the latter was against it and decided to fly alone instead.

Several Royal Malaysian Air Force personnel were at the scene to check the wreckage of the aircraft.

Damselfly

2009-08-13T01:59:00.004+08:00

Damselfly -

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/10.0
Focal Length: 60 mm
ISO Speed: 400

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are often confused with newly moulted dragonflies but once a dragonfly molts it is fully grown.There are other distinct things that set them apart like; most damselflies hold their wings at rest together above the torso or held slightly open above (such as in the family Lestidae), whereas most dragonflies at rest hold their wings horizontally or occasionally slightly down and forward. Also, the back wing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body, while the back wing of the damselfly is similar to the front wing. The eyes on a damselfly are apart; in most dragonflies the eyes touch. Notable exceptions are the Petaluridae (Petaltails) and the Gomphidae (Clubtails).
