After having a quick look in the box I am eager to take this mouse for a spin! Gettin' grippy with it! Everyone loves trying out a new mouse, believe it or not, there is a lot to learn about them. The slightest difference in specification can make or break a mouse. Not only this it could also be the difference in whether or not a certain mouse is for you. Design is obviously important to some, however, the grip type is what you should be looking into. Keep reading to find out how this mouse measures up! Design It would be wrong to start off this section without starting at skid-resistant side grips. On the Poseidon G...

HyperX Pulsefire Haste Mouse Review

With the number of mice out there that have the label "Gaming Mouse" it would be hard to determine what differentiates one from another. This is where we come in, and checking out the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Lightweight Gaming Mouse (to give it its full title) we find out whether lighter is better. Lightweight But Feature Packed Weighing in at around the same weight as a tennis ball, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste is light. There is no way else to put it, 59 grams. I mean come on... Design So what's in the HyperX Pulsefire Haste box? Not a lot actually. You get the wired mouse (obviously), some grip tape, and then some replacement pads for the underside of the mouse. You get the standard warranty card and quick start guide, but that's the boring side of stuff. With a nice honeycomb d...

QPAD DX-700 Mouse Review

QPAD have delivered a wired alternative to their recent QPAD DX-900. This comes in the form of their QPAD DX-700, similar not only in name but it's almost an identical mouse. I recently reviewed the QPAD DX-900 and it's safe to say the key differences lie in whether you want to go wired or wireless. Whilst still relatively new to the scene, QPAD has already made quite the splash. With their range of "Pro Gaming Gear", they now have a variety of keyboards, mice, headsets, mousepads and more. I've had good impressions so far from their headset and mouse range. Design The QPAD DX-700 comes in the same style of premium packaging that QPAD dons as a standard. One thing I like about their packaging approach is that everything feels nice and secure. As you can see below it's effectively the ...

Xbox Series S Review

Microsoft first announced the Xbox Series S during a blunder in 2020. The Xbox Series S was revealed due to a leak and then Microsoft had to react. Of course this reveal didn't necessarily go to plan, not to mention the Halo sized gap in the release window. Since then however Microsoft has been going from strength to strength. The reveal of the Xbox Series S aside, it was strange to see this oddly designed box. A next-gen console promised to deliver 4K, HDR and Ray Tracing but not as powerful as their flagship machine. It's an approach that will only really be proven successful with time. Or will leave a small, cuboid dent on the Xbox history. Great Things Do Come In Small Packages... As you know, I already own the Xbox Series X, and the PlayStation 5. In terms of raw horsepower I...

QPAD DX-900 Wireless Mouse Review – Mice To See You

Having enjoyed the QPAD QH-700 headset, which I reviewed last year, I was keen to see what other products QPAD had available. They're a relatively new brand in my eyes, but one that prides themselves on eSports quality products. Well QPAD kindly sent Thumb Culture some mice. In fact both a wired and wireless option in the form of their DX-700 and DX-900 respectively. In this review I'll be focusing on the QPAD DX-900 Wireless Mouse but be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming review of the DX-700. Design As always I am a sucker for a well packaged product.

EndGame Gear XM1r Mouse Review – Finger Clickin’ Good

Endgame Gear I have to admit before the EndGame Gear XM1r arrived with me I had never heard of them. One of the reasons is due to my ignorance and being quite new to PC Gaming. The other is, I always tend to go with products I see in the mainstream. Endgame Gear is a Berlin-based esports and gaming accessories brand. Their current offering is based around mice, accessories for them and gaming surfaces. Endgame Gear XM1r Mouse - Bringing Value To The Mouse End Game Having always had mice designed for right-handed gamers along with myself having a hybrid grip type.
