What happens when Microsoft Hardware joins forces with gaming peripherals innovator Razer? They give birth to an incredible advancement in gaming control: The Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse. This mouse is jam-packed with features that will give gamers a performance edge.


Habu blends high performance with a snappy design.
View it from all angles.

Every hand is different, as is every gamers' button preference. The Habu is built for just about anyone with interchangeable side button panels that provide gamers with two options for different hand sizes or comfort preferences. The mouse delivers super-fast response time with a huge 2,000 DPI laser engine that is powered by Razer Precision, and a 16-bit data path with enhanced bandwidth to support high resolution tracking performance. With the Habu, your control will be snappier and more precise, so you'll have a leg-up on the competition when playing online first-person shooters and other fast-paced games. This mouse is also designed with on-the-fly DPI that lets players adjust DPI for control sensitivity. Set the mouse from 400, 800, 1600, to 2000 DPI with toggle buttons and take your customization to another level.

Always-On mode was pioneered by Razer, and this advanced technology is built into the Habu. This mode gives gamers virtually no latency. And with high-speed motion detection, this mouse lets gamers get their speed-on with movement of up to 45 inches per second and 20G acceleration. The Habu features seven programmable buttons with Hyperesponse that allows gamers to program their button functions and caters to their favorite button layout from game-to-game.

A mouse this advanced wouldn't be complete without a snappy design. The custom-looking Habu features GlowPipe side rails and large, ultra-slick Teflon buttons that provide smooth and quiet gliding. The mouse also features an ergonomic design that is built for right-handed comfort with a slip-resistant grip, and rubber-coated buttons for improved comfort during those long hours of arduous gaming. Lastly, the mouse features a thin, flexible wire that provides gamers with the speed of a wired mouse, but the feel of a wireless device.

    (c) by intel.com softwareblogs.intel.com This morning at GCDC'08 we attended the tech session of Steve Hughes and Basher Khan presenting the laptop as a gaming platform. As we already reported last week there are lot of things which you have to take into account developing a game for notebooks. That's exactly what Steve and Basher talked about. Interesting thing to know is that there is one laptop being sold every four seconds. That's the reason why mobile integrated graphics are really ramping up and are much stronger than mobile discrete adapters. In summary the laptop market represents about 40 percent of the whole PC market --and increasing. Although the developers should know these figures still a large percentage of PC games are not laptop friendly. So the community has to create more games for notebooks. In order to achieve this Basher had a few tips for the attendees Developers should use mainly batch primitives, pure DC devices and smaller textures/shaders as these perform better on integrated graphics. But it's also necessary to reduce state changes, to choose static over dynamic geometry and to reduce oder eliminate GPU queries as often as possible. Referring to Basher's advice optimizing the directx, Vertex/Primitives and shaders rendering code also helps to create gaming titles which run better on Intel Integrated Graphics. BTW: Did you know that several gaming titles like Age of Empires III and FEAR run quite well on Intel Integrated Graphics! Then Steve ...
