Punch Odour Destroyer Insoles

I was looking for a good insoles the other day and finally grabbed this one

The main reason was this one has added charcoal and it really does smell like carbon. I don't mind that because they are going to sit in my shoes all the time. It claims that it has antibacterial agent to combat those bacteria that cause odour. The spec
   1. It has dashed lines according to sizes so that it is easy to cut the insoles into appropriate/chosen sizes.(You can see I was half way cutting them, the right side still needs to be cut)

   2. It is about 4mm thick. It feels like soft rubber foam. So the carbon must have been embedded or blended into it.
   3. It has perforations for foot to breathe
   4. White fabric layer. This will face up so that it will be in contact with your sock instead of the grey carbon layer.

Verdict:
     For about US$4, I am satisfied with the insoles. It refreshes the feel of my boots. It is thick enough to support my weight

Kawasaki Eliminator EL250

It is hard to find a replacement for my 1996 Kawasaki Eliminator EL250. It has an upright riding position. The gear shift pedal and brake pedal are positioned nicely that we do not have to move our legs much to find them in a stop-and-go traffic.

It is light and manageable to manoeuvre in between cars during heavy traffic. It suits people who have to cope with traffic jam everyday and cruise at moderate speed (110-120km/h).

Nowadays, 250cc bikes tend to have sportier riding position (forward riding position). During long distance journey, I find it less comfortable, putting weight and strain to the arms.

Genius Traveler 350

In one of my previous posts, I did mention about my broken Genius mouse. It was a trackball actually - Genius Traveler 350. I used it with my notebook. Here I attach a few pictures of it. You can see where the cord went bad. I should say that the cord is not robust enough for my usage.

 Logitech Mouseman M-BA47

This is Logitech Mouseman M-BA47 rollerball mouse. I just bought this "Dell by Logitech" mouse at a very cheap price around US$3.50. It was a new-old-stock (that bad photo was due to my horrible camera phone). I am connecting this to my office desktop PC.
    So, what do I think of this mouse? It is an old tech rollerball mouse. But this is good enough for my desktop since I am going to place it on a smooth flat surface. Having an optical mouse will not have much advantage over this rollerball in this case. In terms of size and design, I am so impressed with the grip provided by the rubber surface on the left and right side. It feels much more natural and comfortable compared to the Logitech M100r and heavier (therefore feels more solid). The scroll wheel functions very well like other Logitech mouses(mice?) unlike some other brands with erratic scrolling. It also has an extra button on its lower left side for your thumb to click. This can be customized using the software downloadable from Logitech's website. But sometimes my thumb accidentally clicks the button when I hold the mouse extra tight. So I prefer to leave it unassigned. As a conclusion, this is a very good mouse considering the price and if you don't mind the old rollerball tech, grab one as a spare. It is really worth it.
