Chiclet Keys
On a keyboard equipped with chiclet keys, the key caps are shorter and more squared off on top. The key travel of chiclet keys is usually closer to that of a laptop, with a more direct feel than that of a standard keyboard. Chiclet keys can be used on top of scissor key switches. The K3500 keyboard utilizes chiclet keys to provide an easy typing keyboard at a reasonable price.

Laser Tracking
The laser mouse uses an infrared laser diode instead of a LED to illuminate the surface beneath their sensor. The laser illumination enables superior surface tracking compared to LED-illuminated optical mice, with much higher sensor resolution. You will notice the cursor moves slightly more quickly with a laser mouse, but also does not jump around on the screen when using your mouse on patterned surfaces.

Near Field Communication
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for bluetooth devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. The Touch to Pair mouse utilizes this technology, enabling you to simply tap the mouse to your NFC-enabled laptop to pair the mouse.
-
Optical Tracking
An optical computer mouse uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to illuminate the surface beneath the mouse sensor to detect movement relative to a surface. They are generally less expensive than laser sensors, but cannot track on the same wide range of surfaces. The mouse cursor will move slightly more slowly than a laser mouse, but will generally track smoothly without jumping around. Depending upon the type of surface on which you are tracking, a mouse pad may be necessary.

PCI Express
PCI Express is a new Intel PC bus architecture that doubles the bandwidth of the AGP 8X bus, delivering over 4GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers. The graphics processing unit (GPU) has the largest bandwidth appetite of all PC subsystems, and from the start NVIDIA has been a key contributor to the PCI Express architecture, as a developer, a supporter, and as a provider of PCI Express graphics solutions.

Read and Write Speeds
The Read Speed is how long it takes to read something from the Card. So, how long it takes to open a picture or video that is stored on the card. The Write Speed is how long it takes to save something onto the card. So, how long it takes for the picture to actually save to the card. This is why the Write Speed is generally of more importance to seasoned photographers who wants to utilize their DSLR camera’s fast click features.

SATA
Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA) is a new standard for connecting hard drives into computer systems. As its name implies, SATA is based on serial signaling technology, unlike current IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard drives that use parallel signaling.
-
Scissor Key Switch
On a keyboard equipped with scissor key switches, the key caps are attached to the keyboard via two plastic pieces that interlock in a "scissor"-like fashion, and snap to the keyboard and the key. They usually have a shorter total key travel distance (2 mm instead of 3.5 – 4 mm for standard dome-switch keyswitches). This type of keyswitch is often found on the built-in keyboards on laptops and keyboards marketed as 'low-profile'. These keyboards are generally quiet and the keys require little force to press. The Elite V2 keyboard uses scissor key switches to provide the ultimate in key feel and quiet, comfortable typing.
