iWALK announces The Executive portable Bluetooth keyboard

How productive are you with the iPad? Do you use it primarily to check your emails and attend to whatever outstanding emails that need a reply, and does it double up as your go-to device for gaming whenever you are on the move? If that is the case, then surely you would not need a peripheral like The Executive from iWALK, which arrives in the form of an extremely slim portable Bluetooth keyboard, complete with a kick stand that will be able to transform your iPad into a mobile workstation – with the right apps loaded beforehand, of course. Well, the iPad is not the only device to receive this benefit from The Executive, as it will also play nice with smartphones and other tablets, although I would think that you would be more productive with a keyboard on a tablet rather than a smartphone – since the screen size itself does affect usability by a large margin.

iWALK’s announcement of the availability of The Executive shows that it was specially designed for the professional who want to remain productive on the go without having to add on any bulk. In fact, it measures a mere 0.5” thin, tips the scales at just 1.4lbs, and is capable of connecting seamlessly to any smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth-enabled device thanks to Bluetooth 3.0 technology.

ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital lets you keep tabs on your enemies at all times


Not all headphones are created equal, and gamers will definitely be one of the first few (audiophiles, too) to tell you that. After all, you will need to know where your enemies are at all times, and one of the ways of them giving their position away would be through audio cues – be they footsteps, the firing of a weapon, or perhaps making a jump. Hence, to make sure that you know what you are hearing is correct, then having a good pair of headphones is essential. Not only that, if you want to hear what orders your teammates are barking, this is where the headphones also come in handy. Well, if you are at a loss on what to purchase, perhaps you might want to check out the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones to adorn the top of your head?

The ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones will continue from where the original ROCCAT Kave 5.1 left off, where it has been improved in many ways after receiving community and customer feedback. For starters, the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital will come with a fully-equipped desktop remote as well as a built-in premium 5.1 sound card. Apart from that, you will also find the ROCCAT Smart Link, which is a patented technology that allows users to pair their smartphone to the remote via Bluetooth, so that one can make as well as receive calls via the headset while gaming.
