Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 5 MSFS Edition Review

I've always been into flight sims, and I've owned a number of different flight sticks. One that I never owned was the original T.Flight HOTAS. Well, that was until Thrustmaster got in touch and asked if we wanted to check out the T.Flight HOTAS 5 that was released back in June of this year. I couldn't say no, could I? Officially licensed for the PlayStation 5, and for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and retailing at £89.99. Awaken Your Inner Pilot Now first off the bad, I just want to say that I've not tried this playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on the PlayStation. Mostly because of funds. However, I tried this on a number of other flight sims; even Star Wars Squadrons was put to the test and boy, it did not disappoint. Design Features The brilliant white classic design of previous ...

We will find out for sure. 8K is better than 4K Coming in 4 different colourways, we went for the pink version.

Ducky OK-M-98 Review

You may know the name Ducky, and you might think that it's just a pet name for a loved one. Whereas real PC hardware aficionados know them as the company that first gave us customisable keyboards.  (Well, first to my knowledge) They got in touch and asked if we wanted to check out one of their budget offerings. The Ducky OK-M-98 is the latest in a lineup of great mechanical keyboards, and we were lucky to get hands-on with it. As always, this review was written using the keyboard in question.

Quntis Curved Monitor Light Bar Review

Something that people don't often take into account when they are setting up their own computer area. Lighting.

Retailing at under £65 for the Warmwhite and just over £70 for the RGB version, there is something for everyone.
