Mechanical gaming keyboards are a dime a dozen these days, and even the worst of them offer better tactile feedback and build quality than even premium rubber dome alternatives. As competition continues to build, we're starting to see an increase in quality even at the lower end of the market, and it's into this space that the KM-G12 arrives. Priced at $50 in the US, this keyboard costs less than half that of a traditional mechanical keyboard, yet includes a full set of mechanical switches in a completely standard layout, full per-key RGB backlighting and solid build quality including an aluminium frame.

As a PC gamer, I have a problem: sometimes, good games are released on other platforms. I have some of these systems, but all those years of keyboarding and mousing leave me completely unprepared to wrangle a controller in anything other than a sports or driving game. Thankfully, the good people at GameSir ("Gaming Is Winning") are here to help with their VX2 AimSwitch. [ 1,050 more word ]

QPAD MK95 review: a clever keyboard that mechanically transitions from clicky to linear and back

Today we’re looking at the QPAD MK95, a rather unusual optical mechanical keyboard designed for gaming and typing. Its unique selling point is far from obvious at first glance – this lo…

Today we're looking at the Xenon 770, a MMO-focused gaming mouse from Polish outfit Genesis. With a recent optical sensor, the choice of four detachable wings and RGB lighting, this gaming rodent ticks the boxes we expect while also looking better put together than most budget options on Amazon. The Xenon 770 costs €39 in total, placing it between these budget options and MMO mice from more established brands like Logitech, Razer and Corsair. [ 621 more words ]

For the past few days I've been charging my smartphone, headphones and Switch with a single portable charger: Poweradd's monstrous 20000mah unit. This power bank supports the USB Type-C Power Delivery specification, allowing it to provide up to 18W of power to a range of USB-C devices. Crucially, that's the same rating as Switch, allowing this portable console to charge as rapidly from the Poweradd as it does from a wall outlet. [ 594 more words ]

I'll level with you: normally mouse pad reviews are pretty-much rubber stamp affairs. There's only so much to discuss - dimensions, materials, comfort - and if the basics are done right, everything else is a matter of taste. But today, writing up my thoughts on the €35 Speedlink Orios LED, I've found an alarming amount to discuss. Before I get into my annoyances, let's talk about what the Orios LED gets right.

In this rapid-fire review, we'll evaluate the Matrexx 70 case from Deepcool. This case is a mid-range option, costing just £100 in the UK, but provides a surprisingly long laundry list of features and sports a fashionable glass panel design with three RGB fans pre-installed up front. Let's see whether its beauty is only skin-deep, or whether this case is a worthy rival to cases that cost double the price. [ 1,349 more word ]

It's been years since we last reviewed a Speedlink mouse, and the industry has changed substantially in that time - holey mice at ultra low weights have come into vogue, RGB lighting has become table stakes and sensors have reached an impressive standard. The Orios SL-680010-BK, Speedlink's latest, is definitely a mouse of the times, with a more streamlined and comfortable design, relatively modern PixArt 3325 sensor and an average weight for its size at 95 grams.

There are plenty of NVMe drive enclosures on the market, with most encasing your super-speedy and hyper-compact SSD in a simple metal tube. The Orico Transparent NVMe enclosure looks a little different, with a transparent plastic housing and an integrated metal heatsink in black, blue, red or silver. Orico sent us an enclosure to test, so let's take a brief look at it and then determine what kind of performance we can expect. [ 507 more words ]
