We just got a look at one new mechanical keyboard designed for Macs at CES last week (Matias’ Tactile One), and now we have word of another option for those who take their typing seriously. Das Keyboard confirmed today that a Mac version of its Model S Professional keyboard will be available on April 15th, and that you can pre-order it now for 3 (a 15% discount off its list price). It brings with it the same gold-plated mechanical key switches found on the existing Model S, but with the additional of all the keys you’d expect on a Mac-specific keyboard — plus some other bonuses like a two-port USB hub and an instant sleep function. Unfortunately, Mac users looking to go truly minimalist with an Ultimate edition will either have to wait and hope that one’s coming or break out some black paint.

We’ve seen monitors with touch input and displays powered only by USB, but combining both those features into a single unit would make for something truly unique. We’ve gotta hand it to Mimo Monitors for pulling it off — the Magic Touch and Magic Touch Deluxe deliver 10.1 inches of capacitive interactivity using only a single USB 2.0 cable. The panel itself offers a resolution of 1024 x 600 for keeping video chats out of your way, displaying email or monitoring social networks. The Deluxe version also adds a two-port USB hub but, if you plan to charge your devices through it, you’ll have to hook up the optional AC adapter. Sadly, while they can act as a secondary monitor regardless of OS, you’ll need a Windows 7 machine to take advantage of the touch capabilities — and even then it’s single touch only (though, the panel itself is technically capable of four-point multitouch). Both models are available to pre-order now for 0 (Magic Touch) or 0 (Magic Touch Deluxe) with delivery expected before Christmas. Check out the complete PR after the break.

Flash memory and memory cards are everywhere now. They are used in small, portable memory drives known as pen drives, flash drives and several other names. They are also found in most of the mobile phones, smart phones and cameras.

They are small memory cards that can store a large number of pictures, videos, music files or documents. These memory cards are often accessed on your home computer by a USB flash reader, or a compact flash reader. Both these devices let you to just plug in your flash drive and the contents will be accessible on your PC.

Both USB flash readers and all types of compact flash readers are available at any electronics shop and generally sell for anywhere between $10 and $40.

USB flash readers are identical devices and may possess their own USB port for you to use for your USB ready devices.

Compact flash readers and USB flash readers are manufactured by popular technology brands, but are quite simple devices to operate. Most of the compact flash readers or USB flash readers that you would see in a common store are plug-and-play ready, indicating you can remove them from the box, plug them into your PC and you will be ready to use the gadget normally.

Most compact flash readers and USB flash readers are able to permit between 2-6 devices simultaneously, for instance a memory stick from a video camera, a flash drive, a mobile phone memory card and a music instrument such as an iPod or possibly MP3 player. Compact flash readers and USB flash drives are a necessity in today’s universe, crowded as it is with flash memory devices. Either a compact flash reader or an USB flash reader will make your life in the digital age quicker.
