Gamers are pretty serious about their gear, all the way down to even the mouse pad that they use. So what does it say about you if your eyes light up at the thought of playing your games on a QcK Prism, by SteelSeries, the world’s first dual surface RGB illuminated mouse pad?

One side is fitted with a premium micro-textured cloth for when you need friction for those deliberate movements while the flip side has a hard polymer finish for ultra quick gliding. The QcK Prism has large and sturdy surface, measuring 11.51” W x 14.04” H and only 0.34” D. It weighs in at 2 lb. and supported with a silicon rubber base. Read more…at Canoe Tech Blog.

Depending on where you live, you know how dry it can get indoors, particularly during the cold weather where besides dry skin, many people may exhibit chapped lips, sinus issues and a nightmare for some allergy sufferers. It also generates static, which can wreak havoc on your electronics. That’s when it’s a good time to ensure you have a decent humidifier to help you breathe easier and keep the “nasties” away.
