Fantech Revolver 3 Controller Review

We've got quite the collection of Fantech reviews building in our catalogue and we've added one to the roster. We've grabbed the Revolver 3 controller to test and compare to other controllers we've tried. You can get the Fantech Revolver 3 here for just £19! Design / Quality The Fantech Revolver 3 is available in three colour varients: black, white and grey. When comparing it to next gen controllers, the build and design is closest to a PS5 controller. It's a solid plastic build with a light up Fantech logo which serves as your bluetooth connection display. It's a sturdy build and has a decent weight to it which makes ut feel like it is really well made. The design has symmetrical sticks making it perfect for the Playstation fans out there. However, when comparing the Revolver 3 to so...

KS Pro Steering Wheel Review

Over the past 18 months we've been given the great opportunity to review some of Moza Racing's hardware. Now, whilst we received this one a little while ago, unfortunately, life got in the way. Better late than never, though, and here we have the KS Pro Steering Wheel. It's an upgrade to the KS Steering wheel we reviewed back in September last year. Time for an upgrade Retailing at around the £320 mark, this is a lot of money for an update, but does it warrant it if you already own the original KS wheel?

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...

CRKD NEO S Linkin Park Edition Controller Review

Cast your mind all the way back to January and you may remember I reviewed the Purple Wave Edition of the NEO S controller. Well, now I'm back with the CRKD NEO S Linkin Park Edition Controller. That was a mouthful. Good Things Go There was a time when Guitar Hero and Rock Band dominated the rhythm game field. Along with them came the peripherals of course. Those fret based controllers we all knew and loved. Maybe even sometimes loathed when we heard those notes clunk away. With the launch of Fortnite Festival came cries for the return of such controllers. Which is where CRKD stepped in. Available on their website for £59.99, the NEO S Linkin Park Edition Controller is first and foremost a rhythm game controller. So for this review I'm focussing purely on that. Let's take a look. ...
