Work Station by Day & Gaming Station by Night!

Just in just a matter of a few months’ life has taken a complete turn-around for billions around the world. The ongoing pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns have completely changed the way we pursue our professions and entertain ourselves. The corner-office is now home based, and technology is now more focused on making life easier by increasingly customising products that will make it easier to work from home. Businesses and other private offices have been forced to find a new way to work efficiently so that the work does not come to a grinding halt.

At the same time being plugged into various gadgets all day is not only about work, work and more work. Technology can also give you the option to throw back your feet and relax, as the screens which were crunching numbers during the day, could also prove to be the door which opens out into the virtual world of entertainment.

One could take a World Tour without stepping out of your living rooms, play various Board Games and Puzzles, take up Baking or Cooking, get active with various forms of exercise and dance, socialize virtually using various Social Applications or even get hooked on to online gaming. Gaming has become more than just being a pastime for a certain community of ‘gamers’ who live in a parallel universe and are growing in numbers, by the hour. 

Today brands are delivering products which are fine-tuned for both work and play. Technology can customised for both an efficient ‘World from Home’ office by day and a ‘Gamers Paradise’ by night. IT infrastructure at home is being looked at seriously which can cover both these applications, and hence smart investments are being made to satisfy both these needs of an individual.  In short a world class audio-visual experience is the need of the hour and people are looking at brands that can deliver the goods in this category.

Clarity

In just a matter of few months we got to understand the importance of certain products which we do not think about. We realise now how important it is to have a good headset to pay attention during games as well as online classes where we need to hear the certain types of sounds which are important. We need to keep the others out of the discussion with a headset that isolates you from the outside distractions & ensures we hear even the most lower frequencies. If you’re going to need to wear a headset for meetings or classes, you better make it a comfortable one. HyperX makes a number of headsets with ultra-comfortable memory foam, perfect for situations like these, and for those marathon gaming sessions. Because let’s face it, after a long day of online coursework, you deserve a bit of me time.

800

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S Headset, the newest addition to HyperX’s gaming headset line-up features custom-tuned HyperX virtual 7.1 surround sound1 and bass adjustment sliders for three levels of bass fine-tuning providing listeners with a richer audio gaming experience. 

Mic

We all are likely to have some sort of voice communication capability while we are in a conference or whether we are online gaming or during online classes. We usually use our headphones or even Earbuds on these calls. This doesn’t allow for a clear conversation, as your teammates can barely hear you and vice-versa. 

These products will help the professionals to be more effective and can enhance the way they complete their work goals in a timely and efficient manner. HyperX technology makes it easier than ever to work effectively from home. With a carefully-selected PC, reliable home internet, and the right peripherals, you’ll be ready to face the challenges of your professional life, all from the comfort of your home. Its Important to have a microphone with noise-cancelling capabilities, and which lets you know easily whether you’re muted or speaking so that you are not disturbed and the unwanted input is excluded. The HyperX Quadcast has a tap-to-mute feature that indicates the mute status by turning off the red LED Lighting. It will help you have a better quality and smooth call whether its on your PC & other consoles as well.

Keyboard & Mouse/Agility & Versatility

Origins with Alpha S & Surge

These days many people need a good quality keyboard to ensure effective work happens and also helps in playing a very important role in a work space as well. Gamers usually go for RGB & mechanical keyboards to ensure quicker gameplay with their color profiles. If we talk about WFH, we need to consider a few things that can make you more comfortable and productive. Many of us are trying to recreate our office space at home. Getting your hand on a good quality full-size Keyboard and a Mouse helps us align your wrist and position to work well. Mechanical Keyboards like the HyperX Alloy Origins^™ mechanical keyboard provide a lot of feedback and are comfortable to type on over a long periods of time. You are likely to spend a good deal of time with your hand on  a mouse and a Keyboard. Might as well make those hours as pleasant as possible, especially now that so many of us are working from home. The HyperX Pulsefire Surge Mouse is a premium mouse which is very different in our day to day lives whether you’re a gamer or working in a corporate. Picking a gaming mouse is a very personal endeavor. Everyone's hands are different, everyone's preferences and needs are different, and we all play different games. That's why we're lucky to live in the golden age of gaming mice, with major manufacturers pouring engineering muscle into one-upping each other. The result is a market loaded with high-quality yet relatively inexpensive gaming mice.

One Can Now Make Smart Gadgets and IoT Devices That Use Bluetooth 5

Last year in July, we reported about how Bluetooth Special Interest Group officially announced Bluetooth 5 in a formal press release. The organisation teased everyone when they unveiled that the new and improved technology would offer double the range and four times the speed of the current Bluetooth 4.2 standard in use.

While users will still have to wait for a few more months for Bluetooth 5 to reach their mobile devices, but the technology has finally reached developer boards designed to make gadgets and IoT devices.

For the inquisitive ones who can't wait to try their hands at the new tech, you can now test it on developer boards which are currently being shipped by hardware makers.

According to Mark Powell, Bluetooth Special Interest Group executive director, Bluetooth 5 is a new generation of Bluetooth technology. The technology, which hooks up multiple devices wirelessly, was first unveiled to the world in the year 1999 and since then its popularity has swollen like anything. Its latest will offer a realistic range of 120 meters and transfer data of up to 2 Mbps. The organisation claims that the range could be even longer in a clear line of sight.

The new offering would be best for those who pair mobile devices or PCs to peripherals like wireless speakers as with Bluetooth 5, there will be fewer connection drops than before.

It will also make it possible for a bluetooth device to transmit data from one device to many, a feature that will prove to be extremely beneficial in smart homes setups. For instance, if a home's surveillance system detects something fishy, it could make use of Bluetooth 5 to instantly activate the safety light and the alarm system of the house.
According to experts, Bluetooth 5 will also aid richer data broadcast, like location details and URLs. This would prove to be beneficial in setups that transfer navigation data, like retail stores or self-driving cars.

In December, the Bluetooth SIG said that Bluetooth 5 will reach devices in about two to six months. Smartphones and tablets that boost of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 chips are most likely to become the first devices to have Bluetooth 5 in the chipset.

But why wait till then? You should definitely try your hands on the new Bluetooth 5 with the wireless boards which are currently shipping. The boards will come in handy for innovators developing internet of things devices or prototyping gadgets for automation or industrial settings.

While wireless boards such as Particle and Espressif Systems (which primarily make use of Wi-Fi technology) are extremely famous among the developer community, but several other boards with Bluetooth 5 functionality are already available or will soon be debuting in the market.

TI's SimpleLink Bluetooth Board

One of the firsts to embrace Bluetooth 5 was Texas Instruments. Its Launchpad Board wireless development kit, which comes at an attractive price point of $29, has been designed to test Bluetooth 5 applications in IoT settings. Available on TI's website, the kit has a 48Mhz ARM Cortex-M3 processor and comes with a set of inputs so as to connect sensors. The board will be upgradeable to the latest Bluetooth 5 when the full firmware stack is officially released.

Abelon Systems Bluetooth 5 for IoT

One of the best options for people developing prototype gadgets, Abelon Systems' IoT Reference Platform will offer its users a range of wireless connectivity technology, including the support for Bluetooth 5.

In addition to this, it will also be supporting ZigBee and several other low-bandwidth IoT connectivity technologies such as LoRaWAN or SIGFOX. Expected to be shipped later this year, the platform will come with some on-board sensors that will include a magnetometer, a gyrometer and an accelerometer, but it will also come with an option of attaching other sensors through interfaces. It has come with I2C and UART connector interfaces.

Nordic Semiconductor's Hardware Development Kit

A perfect development board for people looking to develop small electronics, Nordic's nRF52840 Preview Development Kit is compatible with Arduino Uno Revision 3, which is a very famous electronics development environment.

Priced between US$40 and $50, the board has 1MB of integrated flash storage, 256KB of RAM, and a 64Mhz Cortex-M4F processor. In addition to all this, it also comes with ARM Mbed support. It also has a USB 2.0 interface, an NFC interface and a number of connectors.
