Moza Racing KS Steering Wheel Review

If you are new to the site, then one thing you have to know is that I love racing games. Even more so I love any kind of peripheral that allows me to have a better experience with said racing games. Step in Moza Racing, having previously provided us samples of the R3 and R9 wheelbase, it was the turn of an updated steering wheel. In particular, the Moza Racing KS Steering Wheel. Clunk, Click, Every Trip Retailing at around £249 on the Moza Racing website, it is by no means a cheap upgrade. Do the features warrant the price, or should you avoid the wheel altogether and maybe stick to the standard wheel? I'm going to try and help you decide that, so hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride - and that's just me going into the gravel. Design Features The Moza Racing KS Steering Wheel i...

Sony WF-C710N Wireless Earbud Review

Alongside their premium products, Sony have an incredible habit of producing top notch audio products at an affordable price too. Let’s see if the Sony WF-C710N True Wireless Earbuds do the same. Clear sound, clear calls, clear design Retailing at £99.99, the WF-C710N are available today from Sony’s official website. Design The Sony WF-C710N are available in 4 different colours. If you’re after a traditional looking earbud that looks like every other one on the market, go for the White, Black or Pink options. However, if you want to hark back to those transparent PlayStation controllers of the past, the Glass Blue option is for you and it’s certainly striking. It reminds me a little of the PS4 Pro 500 Million Edition I was fortunate to own a few years back and I’m all for it. som...

One Piece Luffy Cable Guys Controller Holder Review

With the recent release of the Netflix One Piece adaptation, merchandise for this popular show seems to be popping up everywhere. Which is great news for the anime fans! More mainstream merch means more for the collection! No longer do we have to savour the crumbs of the basement in Forbidden Planet. One Piece is taking over! It started with LEGO and now it's the turn of the One Piece Luffy Cable Guys Controller Holder! The King Of Pirates Anyone wanting to get your hands on this before reading any further, I have some bad news. This is not an insta-buy I'm afraid.

ANTANK S3 MAX Switch 2 Dock Review

If you have ever looked at your Switch 2 console and thought the dock was a little overbearing. Then you should be checking out the Antank S3 Max Switch 2 Dock.

Priced at £38 on the Antank website, although currently at the time of writing, it's on sale at £23! So just what makes this a great alternative to the Nintendo offering? Let's check out the features, and you can decide for yourself. Design Features With something so small, you might not think that there are a vast number of features. Well, you'd be wrong.

Cable Guys Cuddle Team Leader Holdem Review

I am Cuddle Team Leader fan, and this extends outside the virtual world of Fortnite too. From Mecha Team Leader LEGO to Cuddle Team Leader Crocs. If it's inspired by Cuddle Team Leader, I want it. So, as you can imagine, when the Cable Guys Cuddle Team Leader Holdem landed on my desk I was very excited.

Anker Nano Power Bank (5K,MagGo,Slim) Review
