Arctis Nova 3X Wireless Headset Review

Coming into July with our first-ever SteelSeries headset review at Thumb Culture. What better way than to bring you a nice little review of the recently released Arctis Nova 3X Wireless headset. Released back at the start of June, we've had this headset for a couple of weeks, and let me tell you, it's nice to have a new SteelSeries headset to try out. Steel doesn't always have to be hard. I'm a bit fan of what SteelSeries release, and after owning the Arctis Pro Wireless since it was first released back in 2018 I only recently had to retire it when it kept cutting out.

Design Features As with m...

PuK TheGrips Spotlight

If you're a regular reader of Thumb Culture, in particular our hardware reviews, you'll most likely have seen our recent review of the PuK PathFinder Bundle. This time I'm back with a look at the PuK TheGrips. These are essentially an add on accessory that turns your phone into a full blown controller for the semi low price of £23 on the PuK website. And Now A Word From Our Sponsor Dylan Burgess, Co-Founder and COO of PuK Gaming commented, “Touchscreen controls provide brilliant low latency input, UI customization and impressive accuracy when using the dexterity and fine motor controls of your thumb. Touch can be incredibly effective when used with certain software, however, fatigue often creeps in during sustained gaming sessions, and the lack of physical feedback when playing in touch ...

If you are looking for a new keyboard to add to you setup, then Acer might have just what you need. The Predator Aethon 330 keyboard! We were fortunate to be sent a white version to get some hands on time before sending it back to Acer. Let's have a little look at what this keyboard has beneath its shell.
