Razer Huntsman Quartz Edition
GAMING KEYBOARD
$229.90
If you are tired of black keyboards, check out the new pink version of the Razer Huntsman gaming keyboard - dubbed the Quartz Edition.
Unlike most mechanical gaming keyboards in the market, the Huntsman uses Razer's Opto-Mechanical, or optical mechanical, switches. They work by having a constant beam of light blocked by the switch stem under each key. When a key is pressed, light passes through to register a key press. Thus, you can game at the speed of light while marvelling at the keyboard's gorgeous pink exterior.
The Nuraphone
OVER-EAR HEADPHONES
$629, available on March 7
This is not your usual over-ear headphones. The Nuraphone learns and adapts to your hearing.
It works by emitting a range of tones into the ear and then measuring the very faint sounds that the ear generates in response. The measurements are used to create a unique hearing profile that lets the headphones sonically shape any music that is being played to match the listener's hearing and to deliver all the details of the music.

PORTABLE AIR PURIFIER
$299

About the size of a 500ml water bottle, the USB-rechargeable device is designed to continuously "clean" spaces of up to 30 sq m. Unlike conventional air purifiers, the BioLogic releases "environmental probiotics" that are said to inhibit the growth of contaminants such as mould, bacteria and allergens.
It also eliminates bad odours generated by harmful germs.
