Download Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 Windows 8.1 Driver (X-Input)

Hmm… How to solve Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 on Windows 8.1 issue? My PC can’t seem to detect Logitech F710 correctly with X-Input mode even with official Logitech Gaming Software. No issue on D-Input mode though, run smoothly. Most of the PC Windows games support XBOX controller only. And F710 with X-Input mode is the only way to play them. Games can’t find F710 with D-Input mode as the controller. Well, you can use XBOX 360 controller emulator but that’s not the friendly way.

Slicepad MP-50 Pocket Projector Review

Introduction
Hey, I have the latest mini projector from Slicepad in my hand. It is Slicepad MP-50 Pocket Projector, little brother to Slicepad MP-100 Pocket Projector that I reviewed previously. As usual, it supports multiple connections like HDMI, MHL connections and wireless (with optional adaptor). Supporting lot of devices like Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows devices and of course PC, laptop and set-top box with HDMI output. Besides, it is a power bank too. Yet smaller and lighter. But does it better? Read on to know more.

Kodi 14.0 Helix – a must have media center

Yes, you can enable DTS codec support on MX Player. It is working on my Nexus 7 (2013) perfectly. However, DTS audio is not working on my Galaxy S4 with the latest version of MX Player even with custom codec loaded. Not sure why… Anyway, Kodi 14.0 Helix media player comes to rescue. Kodi is XBMC actually. Yup, it has a new name. And loaded with new features like capable of playing back h.265 (also known as HEVC) and VP9 video codecs. However, decoding of h.265 is entirely software based for the moment. So it won’t work well on Android and iOS devices with low processing power. But should work fine on powerful PC system.

Yeah… Kodi is working great with my newly added DLNA media server. I am streaming most of media from local NAS now. However, I still prefer MX Player as it is much user friendly on mobile devices. But Kodi stays on Galaxy S4 due to DTS audio codec support.

Extreme Gaming & Video Editing Computer System

Is PC industry dying? Nope, I just upgraded my extreme gaming and video editing computer system. Previous PC system serves me well for the past 6 years. And it is still able to do basic office, blogging and surfing tasks. But slow for 3D gaming and of course video, photo editing as well. There are still tasks that cannot be done by tablet and smartphone. So here you are – my latest extreme gaming and video editing computer system. You will need a powerful multi core CPU for fast video editing. Enough memory so that it won’t slow down when hard drive page file kicks in. SSD to speed up the whole process as normal HDD is usually the bottleneck that slows the whole system down. Therefore, slow HDD but big capacity is used for data storage and backup only. And SSD is for Windows OS and storage for ongoing tasks. Fast GPU is required for extreme gaming of course. And finally you will need good cooling system to let you increase performance further by overclock them…
