There may be numerous keyboard apps available for Android but there’s not one that can be compared with any PC keyboards. Not that there’s a great need and demand for that but there are people who prefer such layout especially for tablets where they can type more on a bigger screen. Imagine a PC keyboard being used on your tablet screen but with modified hotkeys. I think this is the kind of experience the Clavis Keyboard can offer you.

The Clavis Keyboard features keys where you usually expect them to be. The layout is very familiar. Hotkeys commonly used like select all or copy-paste-cut are similar to how you use them on your computer. The new hotkeys come in handy because they make typing easier. You can insert text macro 0 to 9 by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Number, open new e-mail and paste selected text (Ctrl+M), search for selected text on Google (Ctrl+G), End (Ctrl+Right arrow), and Home (Ctrl+Left arrow) among others.

The Clavis Keyboard even features several themes according to your preference but the developer Theophrast said more will be added soon. Right now, different layouts are available: US, GB, IT, BE, HU, DE, FR (United States, Great Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, France).

The updated Clavis Keyboard app also now allows you to change size of the keyboard, activate Caps Lock with a long press, insert a period with double-tap, and navigate the cursor with CTRL+Arrows. Keyboard app is free to download but there’s also the Clavis Keyboard Pro available for $2.99.

The IFA is still a few months away but it’s never too early to start hyping up the products you’ll be releasing by then. And it’s not just smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches that will be taking center stage, but accessories and peripherals as well. Sennheiser has been quiet the past few months, but now they’ve announced that one of the things they’ll be launching is the Black Chrome version of the Momentum In-Ear earbuds, an updated version of the black red variant that they introduced last year.

The new Momentum In-Ear Headphones will be sleeker and better than the previous version (as all newer versions should be). The mirror chrome finish will look sleeker and will have both stainless steel and smaller details in a Black Chrome version. In terms of sound quality, it will have the tranduscer technology which is Sennheiser’s latest pride and will bring a high bass response and detailed vocals.

It will also have the three-button in line remote that all Momentum earbuds have. There will also be a built-in microphone so that you can use it to take and make calls, and listen to music as well. It will have an elliptical cable to keep it tangle-free, just like all the other products in the Momentum line. There will be two variations for the Momentum In-Ear Black Chrome earbuds: one optimized for iOS devices and the other one that is meant for Android and Windows devices.

There are still no pricing and availability details for the earbuds. But expect more details to emerge as the IFA comes nearer.

If you’re looking for a powerful, off-contract Android smartphone that won’t break the bank, there are currently a ton of great deals on eBay that may be worth your while. Each one of the smartphones listed here come with free shipping if you happen to live in the United States, which could save you quite a bit of money. These smartphones are also seller refurbished, so they’re in good cosmetic condition, but it’s still something to keep in mind if you end up purchasing one.

First up is a 32GB Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910) for Verizon for just $399.95. It’s available in both Black and White color options and, like all the other smartphones on this list, comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. The Galaxy Note 4 is the latest phablet to come from Samsung. Although we may be expecting its successor sometime soon, the Note 4 is still one of the better devices on the market. It comes with a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, 3GB of RAM, a microSD card slot for expandable memory and a powerful 16MP rear facing camera.

Next up is the 32GB Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900V) for Verizon for just $239.99, which also comes in Black and White color options. Even though this device’s successor has been out for some time, it’s still not a bad phone in the slightest. Featuring a 5.7-inch Full HD display, microSD card expansion and 32GB of storage, the Galaxy Note 3 is a multimedia powerhouse through and through. And for just $240, this isn’t a bad deal in the slightest.

The last two smartphones we’ll showcase here are the Galaxy S5 Active (G870A) and Galaxy S5 (G900A) proper, which are both being sold for just $269.99. They’re both factory GSM unlocked which means neither will work on Verizon or Sprint networks. The Galaxy S5 Active is available in Red, Black and Green color options, while you can pick up the S5 proper in either Black or White. Whether you choose to go with the ruggedized or standard version, we’re sure you’ll be quite content carrying around either of these devices.

We’re suckers for repair videos and this Dewalt worksite radio repair (YouTube Link) from Hackaday alum [Todd Harrison] is no exception. Like a detective story, we’re always trying to guess who did it.

In his first video [Todd] traced the issue down to a faulty 6 volt regulator which was pushing out 8 volts. He fixed that by hacking a LM317 into the circuit to replace the original non-adjustable part. That helped but after a few days the radio failed again. So here he traced out the voltages to find the second culprit. Along the way, we get to see some of the nicer features of his Fluke 87 and 289 meters. As well as puzzling over the some of the design decisions in the radios construction, before identifying the final issue.

We won’t spoil the surprise, but find out how Todd solves this riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma in the video below!

The HTC One M9 is one of the better reviewed new flagships from this year’s batch. But one of the most common complaints about this is that the battery life isn’t all that great. So unless you want to constantly be looking for a wall socket to charge your device when you’re on the go, your best bet would be to either get a power bank or to just get one of those battery cases, like the Mugen Power 3700mAh Extended Battery Case.

This particular battery case of course is only fit for the HTC One M9, and it claims that it can give the flagship twice the normal charge when used. This will then allows you to use your device even when you’re on the go, and at the same time, gives your smartphone extra protection. Mugen assures the public that the case has been extensively tested and underwent various QA experiments and is compliant to CE requirements.

The case also contains a power meter button at the back to let you know how much juice your Mugen still has. There are LED indicator lights that indicate the level of percentage remaining on the case. The One M9’s original battery has 2840 capacity but the Mugen 3700mAh has almost twice that amount.

The Mugen Power 3700mAh Extended Battery Case for HTC One M9 will set you back just $89.50 if you buy it directly from their site. No word yet as to how much other retail stores will be carrying this all-important battery case.

Good news, friends! It’s now super easy to send location information, complete with directions, from Google Maps on your desktop to your phone or tablet. When you select a location on desktop Google Maps, a “Send to device” button will be available under the location and hours of the place that you’ve selected. You can click that to send the info to your device, which will then get the details in a notification.

From the notification, you’ve got a few choices of what to do next. Clicking the address will open up Google Maps and display the location, hours, and more of the place that you’re interested in. The notification also contains buttons to begin navigation right away or view the directions to the place that you’re looking at. While searching for a location on your phone after finding it on your desktop isn’t exactly a ton of work, being able to simply send the info from Google Maps on your desktop to Google Maps on your phone is a faster, smoother, more integrated experience. To try this feature for yourself, you’ll need the newest version of the Google Maps app (v9.11.0) on your phone or tablet. You can grab it from Google Play or APK Mirror.
