The PS5 DualSense

Naturally the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X have taken the gaming world by storm. Launching late in 2020, they both have an absolute plethora of similarities. From SSDs, to subscription services... the competing consoles have never been more aligned. One thing however that definitely sets them apart is their controllers. These aren't going to be articles about which has the better analogue stick placement. They're actually purely my thoughts on what the 2 devices bring to the table, and where I would like to see improvements if they ever choose to refine these models. I will say from the get go though that with the DualSense and the revised Xbox Wireless Controller these are the best iterations both company have ever delivered in the box of a console. I have to add that slight dis...

Razer Kishi For Android Review

The Razer Kishi is a clip on mobile accessory that turns your smartphone into a portable console. Mobile gaming has often been frowned upon with hardcore gamers. A stigma that is soon to be obsolete as mobile chipsets, screens and cloud based gaming options continue to grow. It's likely no coincidence that the Razer Kishi is advertising alongside the likes of Xbox's Cloud Streaming service. It's clear from the layout and feel of the pad they've worked closely with Microsoft on this one. Sporting a compact design, but still evoking the traditional Xbox pad layout it does feel great in your hand. The flatter shape however does mean that sometimes it's a struggle to comfortably use some of the buttons. Design Fresh out of the box the Razer Kishi is surprisingly small and flat. It's v...

Razer Panthera PS4 Controller Review – Let The Battle Commence!

Ok so for my latest review I am going to write about the Razer Panthera Fight Stick. Don't confuse this with the Razer Panthera Evo. There are differences between them which I'll discuss later in my review. The Razer Panthera comes in a few different themes. The two that caught my eye were the Street Fighter V version and the Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite version. These are just my personal choices although I finally decided on the Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite version in the end. I won't lie this decision was purely based on pricing as the Street Fighter V version was £40 more and the only difference was the graphic on the fight stick facia. My Razer Panthera is fully customisable, so I can change the graphic, stick or buttons down the line if I want. The stick and the buttons are m...

Razer Raiju Review

We recently got the chance to have an extended time with the Razer Raiju controller and what better way to report the findings back to you, than to write a review! After all it's kind of our thing here....reviews. In The Box So first things first, inside the box you get a nice little note from Razer saying thanks for purchasing your new Razer Raiju controller. This is a neat little touch and brings a little bit of humanity to the product and the company. So moving deeper we find a case to store your Razer Raiju inside and keep safe, a USB braided cable that slots into the back of the controller, a small screw driver for removing those extra buttons on the back and then the standard Razer stickers for adorning your walls, ceiling, furniture or cat. Thumb Culture in no way endorse...

Steering Wheel Series – The Fanatec Hardware

Having been a huge fan of the racing game genre for a long time, I consider myself to be a decent racer when it comes to using the controller. Playing games like Project Cars, Driveclub, GT, and many more, I always felt like something was missing. Could a steering wheel make me better? This was a big question that always rocked around inside my head, and finally i decided to find out. After reaching out to the good people at Fanatec who generously donated some brilliant hardware it was time to finally find out if using a wheel made me better. The Hardware For this I am using the Fanatec CSL Elite PS4 Starter Kit, with an additional Loadcell kit. To those of you that aren't familiar with this allow me to elaborate. The Fanatec CSL Elite Racing wheel is officially licensed for use...
