Rapoo Philippines Introduces New VPRO Gaming Products

I had the chance to see Rapoo Philippines about two years ago (around April) and I was excited to finally find their well designed peripherals and devices. They're a smart company, banking on not just function but aesthetics which is pretty important to todays youth. Gamers ride on talent, but never forget function and style so at least they would get a mix of even if they lose a couple of matches, they would be complemented with the looks ha!

This holiday season, they've come out with an even better lineup last September, all affordable, well researched, well designed as they painstakingly took time to design it well as what YOU would find a good buy once it hit the shelves of your favorite tech stores. 

For starters, theyw went out with 7 new models in 3 gaming devices, entry levels and more. These are must haves especially if your friend, relative or self want something good on your rigs.  The gaming mouse from VPRO called V16 only costs Php 695, where grip is relaxed, right or left hand usage wouldn't matter as it works for both. It would be comfortable,  even for long hours, very accurate and definitely exceed your expectations of accuracy. We all want that, especially in crucial e-sports level games which we all want to achieve someday (or probably did already). 

Other than that, they also have breathing backlight on them which looks cool in the dark, so you will love them as long as you are on it. The V280 on the other hand costs Php 1,320, it's got 5 individually customizable buttons too where you can assign different functions. It would be a treat to actually have in fast times. Fancy? Yes but this one has a multitude of colors because of its LED system.

They also have awesome keyboards with the Rapoo VPRO line. They've got 4 designs for serious or  not so serious gamers, like the V500S ALLOY that costs Php 1,995, the V500Pro at Php 2,495, the V500RGB ALLOY at Php 3,195 and the V700RGB ALLOY that costs Php 3,395. All powerful because it's programmable, it will simplify combos, functions as it does macro keys that utilizes on board memory, no need of software to install, all there!  You will get ahead of the pack, outwit and outlast your opponents, nothing that a little practice and determination could do. Not just that, but a Gaming Headset as well with a noise cancelling mic called VH200 and costs Php 1,495.

It is very light and you can only expect comfort during hours of gaming, not much heat or sweating perhaps, if you happen to often feel that way with your current one now.

Rapoo VPRO products are available in Silicon Valley, Complink,  PC Express, Gilmore Warehouse, PCX desktop branches across the country. 

Maybe it's time you take a look at Rapoo?

Learning How To Play A Guitar

Hey guys! What's up?! How was New Year's Eve? Great!

Well I've been aiming to be more productive this year and trying to pick up a new hobby. I've been in a band during college (hi guys if you're reading this!) and I must say it's not as easy as it looks. All we had was passion and the urge to somehow, somewhere be heard when we play our music and still be together; whilst looking good for the girls. Regrets? I had a few. I never had the chance to actually learn a thing or two about playing a guitar since I'm on keyboards. I'm working on it right now and found free applications in the App Store that can help me do it since my friends are all either married and got kids. We all know how busy that is.

Fun Guitar Facts:

According to CoachGuitar.com, we can't learn fast if we use technical jargon and theory. They suggest a very practical way through visuals so we can do it like the pros. There are tons of music genres that I had to understand and read before doing this. It already gave me a heart attack when I checked out it's history here; and to tell you honestly, it was turning up a little disheartening.

I went ahead and used the application even if I was a little skeptic. Though I know I'd probably regret it if I didn't try. So after downloading it off the App Store, I opened it up and checked how it works.

 

There were four tabs on the bottom indicating Home, My Lessons, Library and Me. On the front page, it had tons of suggested music to play. It wasn't free so I skipped that. I'm so cheap!

It went through different help options but this one was important. When you are shown some instructions later, you'll have to know what finger to use while pressing on the guitar's fret. We did a few things in college that was quite similar. I used to play just the introduction part of the most popular songs but never finished playing any of them. Hence, the term "Intro Boy". 

After choosing a song on the free ones, it went to this section that had the song divided into parts. Remember those colors we mentioned earlier? This is the part where it'll make sense.

It'll tell you exactly what finger to use and illustrate when to pluck the string.  

Now don't worry too much if the music you're hearing or seeing is too fast. The application has options to either go back to the menu, put it into slow motion or just replay it. I went ahead and used the slow motion feature because I couldn't catch up. Michael Jackson's "Beat It!" is a little complicated. Dividing it into steps made it really easy and as of this writing I can already do the first two parts without help from anybody. From zero to hero. Imagine that!

The other rifts were a little too advanced for me because as you can see, it kind of forced me to use two fingers in a single fret. This is officially a fat finger problem, like when you press buttons on touchscreen.

For those who have experience reading off lyric sheets, you can view it through the TABLATURE mode if you wish to. I stayed watching the videos because I generally find that easy even if I can read notes.

In the end, you'll see how each part of the riff you did earlier will come together. The full video will also show you how easy it is to learn a new song from end to end. Now most of your friends and fans will think that you're a pro!

If you think you've already gotten bored about the free songs that are in your My Lessons tab, don't worry because they've got a whole library of the greatest guitar masterpieces available for purchase. Katy Perry and Bruno Mars did make me skip a heart beat.

If you continue to share and connect with their community through Facebook, you'll get to unlock badges and exclusive content on the application. After all, it's free on the App Store! Who knows? You might get a free song or two right after doing that!
