OCZ Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse

By Andrew Beehler February 20, 2007

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.

More information on the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse is available by visiting OCZ’s Web site.

If you want to maximize your productivity after buying from MacBook deals or a Mac computer, or if you want to use your purchase from iPad deals as a laptop, then you should consider buying two of Apple's most popular accessories -- the Apple Magic Mouse and the Apple Magic Trackpad. Like most Apple devices, they don't come cheap, but fortunately, they're currently on sale from Amazon. The Apple Magic Mouse, originally $79, is down to $68 for $11 in savings, and the Apple Magic Trackpad, originally, $129, is down to $110 for $19 in savings. The discounts may not look like much, but you might as well take advantage of them if you're going to buy these accessories anyway.
Apple Magic Mouse -- $68, was $79

The wireless and rechargeable Apple Magic Mouse is in our list of the best mouse for Mac as Apple's premier mouse, which isn't a surprise considering Apple itself designed it. Like most Apple devices, the accessory features a premium-looking design and superb build quality, and it supports swipe gestures because its Multi-Touch surface essentially functions as a built-in trackpad. It will also glide smoothly across your desk with the help of its optimized foot design. It lasts for more than a month between charges, and it comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging purposes. The Apple Magic Mouse is compatible with all MacBooks and Mac computers running on macOS X 10.11 or later, and all iPads that are powered by iPadOS 13.4 or later.

What are mouse jigglers, and can they keep statuses active?

It makes sense that mouse jigglers have gained prominence alongside the recent rise in jobs becoming remote positions. If more workers are working from home and away from employers' direct supervision, employers are going to try to find new ways to supervise their remote employees. And those employees are going to push back against being monitored by their employers. Which is how you end up with products like mouse jigglers becoming popular.

This odd little tech solution is being used to thwart some types of micromanagement and help employees manage time on their own terms, among other solutions. But do mouse jigglers work? Are jigglers allowed in the workplace? Here’s everything you should know.

For the first time in years, I’m genuinely excited about the Mac’s gaming prospects. This year looks set to be a great one for Mac gamers, with hardware and software finally aligning to bring a bounty of great games and blistering performance in every area.

Well, almost every area. You see, there’s still one thing that is holding gaming back on the Mac. No, it’s not the range of games or the performance of Apple’s computers -- it’s the Magic Mouse.
