OCZ Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse


OCZ Technology Group isn’t exactly a name which rolls off the tongue when one thinks of computer gaming peripherals. OCZ, normally known for manufacturing high-performance memory and components, hopes to change that by unveiling a new PC gaming mouse known as the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse.

One thing you will notice right away about the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse is its bold blue design. This mouse body houses a rodent ready to game. One of the chief features of this mouse is its Triple Threat button. This button, set near the scroll wheel, is normally used for double click actions like opening documents. When engaged in game mode however, the Triple Threat button boosts a gamer’s fire rate by providing a firing rate of three times for each click.

Another feature which OCZ thinks will make the Equalizer Laser Mouse stand out is its six levels of DPI sensitivity. These levels, which range from 400 to 2,500, are generated from a dual laser engine and can be adjusted on the fly for greater sensitivity via a button in the upper portion of the mouse’s body.

The Equalizer Laser Mouse, which is wired, has a right-handed ergonomic design and connects to a computer via a gold-plated USB connector. It sports a no-slip grip and also comes equipped with back and forward buttons in addition to the DPI and Triple Threat ones.

Two versions of the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse, both with a six-year warranty, will be available. These versions include desktop and mobile sizes and are offered up as options to fit a user’s different portability and size preferences. Software is also included for customization.

Logitech has a new gaming mouse, and it looks incredible
Someone using the Logitech G309 gaming mouse.

It takes a lot to get me excited about a gaming mouse, but Logitech's new G309 looks incredible. Unlike the recent G Pro X 2 Superlight, the G309 comes in at a more sensible $80, but it's still packing some insane features.

It's not exactly a budget mouse along the lines of the G305, but Logitech is offering an awful lot for under $100. The mouse itself is wireless, with support for both Bluetooth and Logitech's low-latency Lightspeed connection, and the company claims it can last for 300 hours. What stands out most, however, is Powerplay support.

Ever since the proliferation of remote work, there's been a growing demand for ways for employees to appear productive to their managers when away from their computers.

But now, we're starting to see some high-profile cases of companies cracking down on this kind of workplace deception. Bloomberg reports that Wells Fargo recently fired over a dozen employees last month who used "mouse jigglers" to fake productivity. The fired employees were in the bank's wealth and investment management unit. They were "discharged after review of allegations involving simulation of keyboard activity creating the impression of active work," according to disclosures filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
