Acer Predator Aethon 330 Keyboard Review

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. Take Aim, It's A Predator So this keyboard is the 60% sized TKL version. Offering up a lot of advantages for a small keyboard, but does it give a full-sized experience? Let's find out. Design Features As I mentioned above, this is a smaller form factor keyboard. Taking out the keypad and a bunch of other keys gives you a more compact design. I have to admit that it looks great on my desk, especially with the desk being all black. It's solid, with a sturdy construction ensuring that yo...

Fantech Tanto S Mouse Review

I'm going to start this review with this: yes, we got hold of a pink mouse. The great people over at Fantech got back in touch and offered us their new mouse, the Fantech Tanto S. Another day, but not just another mouse! With new peripherals like this come new responsibilities. That's the line, isn't it? Until recently, we hadn't heard much about the Fantech product line, but I am glad they dropped into our inbox. They are a brand that brings affordable, but decent-quality peripherals to you. So, just what does that mean for this new mouse? Shall we move on and find out? Design You could be mistaken in thinking that this is just another generic mouse. Whilst it may look like that, with its ambidextrous design, it really isn't generic. Featuring a standard button layout, with two button...

Obviously, as we are all fans of new tech here at Thumb Culture, we jumped at the opportunity. Fast forward a short period of time and we got our hands on the Teevolution Terra. A brand new gaming mouse, combining an ergonomic design, lightweight feel and cutting-edge precision. Or at least that's what all the buzzwords said. Here Comes A New Challenger! So, before we dive into the new mouse and what it brings to the market, let's take a little look at just who Teevolution are.

Fantech MAXFIT6 QMK Wireless Keyboard Review

As a writer at Thumb Culture I've been lucky enough to test out a number of Fantech products including the Maxfit Air and the Aria II Pro. And today I bring you more! This time it's the turn of the MAXFIT6 wireless keyboard, the latest release from the company. I have tested it across many silly games and many boring work days to see whether it's worth investing. Tippy tap Fantech is back You can grab the MAXFIT6 for £41.00 which is relatively cheap for a mechanical keyboard but does the low price point compromise the quality? Design The MAXFIT6 is available in two colours - black and white. I received the white version of the keyboard and honestly I really love the simplicity of it all. The two transparent keys add a little bit of character without looking cheap or tacky. You can...

NZXT Function Elite MINITKL Keyboard Review

I love a noisy keyboard. If it doesn't clack as you're typing are you really using a keyboard? Probably, but it's not as satisfying. So when NZXT dropped into the inbox offering the opportunity to review their new Function Elite MINITKL I couldn't say yes fast enough. Available in black or white, I opted for white as it just looked incredibly sleek. Plus, I had to match my NZXT Lift Elite Wireless didn't I? The key to a good set up Available in the UK from the NZXT Amazon store for £170 this keyboard promises a lot of things. Let's see if it's a key item for us gamers. Design There is no doubt the Function Elite MINITKL is designed to look good. I can only speak to the white edition but it looks beautiful straight out of the box. As I've mentioned I am a big fan of a click-clacky k...

NZXT Lift Elite Wireless Mouse Review

The NZXT Lift Elite Wireless is the latest gaming mouse to hit the NZT Lift series. Available in the UK from the NZXT Amazon store this little thing will set you back £75. Which by gaming mice prices is really not a lot at all. So does the price reflect the quality? Let's find out. Squeaky clean The NZXT Lift Elite Wireless comes in black or white. Thanks to the lovely folks over at NZXT I got my hands on the very clean looking white edition for this review. Look at it all shiny in the box. Design Typically the design section of a hardware review can be the hardest to write. Luckily for me whilst this mouse looks clean and simple, it's got far more to it then that! At just 57g this may be the lightest mouse I've ever used. Being lightweight really made a difference to it's manoeuv...

Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed Mouse Review

The Razer mouse lineup is vast, with literally something for everyone. One of the more popular lines is the DeathAdder. Released in February 2023, the Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed is still a staple among pros today. Coming in at £100 on the Razer store, this is no ordinary mouse. Hyperspeed Engaged An ultralight mouse has incredible response time. But what else does the mouse bring to the table? Design The DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed isn't anything ground breaking to look at. What it does have is a sleek design, with a smooth texture finish allowing a natural grip and greater feel. Weighing 55g this mouse is one of the lightest on the market. Which aids with precise movements, especially if you are looking at an esports-tested device. Featuring a ridiculous 26k DPI optical sensor gi...
