This may not sound right, but I used to think that pro gaming peripherals are nothing more than glorified your-everyday-mice-and-keyboard. Actually, scratch that. I used to think that they are overpriced and doesn’t really give an advantage over your usual peripherals, aside from prestige and cool appearance. However, I saw my friend use a gaming peripheral by Logitech and he seems to really like it. Just listening to his experience was enough to entice me to try one. Steelseries Rival 500 Official Shot Meet the Steelseries Rival 500, a professional gaming-grade mouse from Steelseries with best-in-class sensor and whopping 15 buttons. The first thing that I had in mind when learning about this mouse was “This thing has 15 buttons?” I thought it was overkill, but when I learned that each button can be programmed individually, I changed my mind to “maybe I could be more productive with this mouse”. Okay, so let’s see if this mouse is worth its whopping Rp950.000,00 (~U$71) price. It’s still one of the cheapest, though. Razer’s mouse with the same number of buttons costs more than Rp1.000.000,00 here. No offense, but I’m still sane enough …

Look at Apple’s retina MacBook for example, they only have 1 (yes, ONE) USB-C port, and instead of apologizing for being so stingy, they encourage their users to go wireless. The new MacBook Pros, another example, only have USB-C ports. To make up for it, they will sell you dongles at a discount.

Official Shot of Andromax M3Y and M3Z Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahan di sini! In my personal opinion and based on my experience, Smartfren is probably one of the better data-oriented telco in Indonesia. In terms of data speed, it might not be the fastest.

Charger Doctor Official Shot Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? Baca artikel terjemahan di sini.Our mobile technology has come a very long way. We used to only be able to call and text through cell phones but look at us now: checking our emails, editing office documents, using applications to book restaurant reservations, hotel rooms, or even calling a cab!

Our feature phones of old have the power to last for days, but now? Lasting a full day is already considered as an achievement.

That’s why our chargers are an important part of our lives now.The question is, how do we know if our charger is being honest with its specs? Normally, we’ll need some big-ass measuring device called avometer (in Indonesian, it’s called that, at least…) but I’ve found a small, convenient device that could measure currents. Though limited, it’s practically quite useful. Meet the Charger Doctor.How can I use this? Well… …
