Yunzii M2 Dual 8K Wireless Mouse Review

Yunzii have done it again; they've released a piece of hardware that keeps the cost down but offers great performance. The Yunzii M2 Dual 8K Wireless Gaming Mouse, to give it its full name, is a great budget mouse for all gamers. What does it skimp on, though? Retailing for around £60, there must be something. We will find out for sure. 8K is better than 4K Coming in 4 different colourways, we went for the pink version. There is, however, a white, black and orange version, and I have to admit, they all look awesome! Design Features On a high level, this mouse has some great features. With up to 30,000 DPI, you get a precision sensor allowing you to be incredibly accurate in your movements. Especially brilliant if you play a lot of FPS games.

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. This Keyboard is more than OK Coming in a number of different sizes, the Ducky OK-M can be found in 65%, 75% and 98%. We received the 98 layout, which effectively gives you an almost full-size keyboard. With it being slightly compact, it fit great on my desk and feels good in use. Design Features ...

The Battle of the 3 in 1 Portable Chargers – Anker Vs Belkin Review

There are loads of 3-in-1 wireless chargers on the market now, but most of them are aimed squarely at Apple users. If you’ve got an iPhone, an Apple Watch and AirPods, you’re spoilt for choice. The interesting thing about the Belkin Modular Charging Dock with Qi2 25W and the Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, MagGo, AirCool, Foldable, Qi2 25W) is that they’re both premium foldable chargers designed for travel, but they approach the watch charging side of things very differently. At first glance, they seem quite similar. They both fold down into a compact form, they both support Qi2 magnetic charging, and they’re both designed to charge your phone, earbuds and watch from a single unit. Once you actually start using them though, the differences become much more obvious. 3 is ...

KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite Keyboard Review

Earlier this year we took a look at some cute KiiiBOOM keyboards and keycaps, during which I became a big fan of the brand. So obviously, I said a very enthusiastic yes when I was asked if I would like to review the KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite! Available in a few colourways, I opted for the pink with the KiiBOOM Mossy Silent switches. 96% meow keyboard The KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite is the size of the Phantom 98 combined with the pastel prettiness of the Phantom 81 Lite. It's price tag is around £85, depending on which switch options you choose. Which sits firmly between those I just compared it to. But does it live up to those comparisons? My heart says yes, but will experience say something else? Design Let's get straight into it. The KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite is essentially the 96% (97 k...

be quiet! Dark Mount Silent Linear Keyboard & Dark Perk Ergo Mouse Review

I've always known be quiet! as the company that makes some of the quietest PC components around. Whether it's CPU coolers, cases or power supplies, they've built a reputation for making high-quality hardware that keeps noise to a minimum without compromising on performance. So, when I heard they were bringing that same philosophy to gaming peripherals with the Dark Mount keyboard and Dark Perk Ergo mouse, I was genuinely interested to see how they'd compare against the more established names in the market. Mechanical keyboards and gaming mice aren't exactly in short supply these days. Every manufacturer seems to have their own take on what makes the perfect setup, whether that's ultra-lightweight designs, RGB lighting that could probably be seen from space or more programmable buttons t...

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. Quntis reached out to us and asked if we wanted to check out one of their solutions and we duly obliged. We then received the Quntis Curved Monitor Light Bar through the post, and it's changed my setup forever. Light In The Dark Coming in two different options, the Warmwhite and the RGB variants. Retailing at under £65 for the Warmwhite and just over £70 for the RGB version, there is something for everyone. Is it all worth it though, or is it just another gimmick that companies have introduced to try and get more money out of gamers? Well, let's see what features this has to help prevent eyestrain. Design Features At first, we weren't sure what this could offer to our already...

Belkin Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 Review

When you think of Belkin, gaming accessories probably aren't the first products that spring to mind. My last experience with Belkin was a broadband router I had back in the early 2000s that took a hit, thanks to a lightning strike. The company has since built a strong reputation over the years for reliable charging solutions, cables and mobile accessories, but with the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2, Belkin has stepped into the gaming space with a range of officially licensed products. One of the standout offerings is the Charging Case Pro, a premium carry case that combines protection with a built-in battery pack to keep your console powered wherever your adventures take you. Power & Protection The idea is a simple one. Most Switch owners already carry a protective case, while ...
