Ducky OK-M-98 Review

You may know the name Ducky, and you might think that it's just a pet name for a loved one. Whereas real PC hardware aficionados know them as the company that first gave us customisable keyboards. (Well, first to my knowledge) They got in touch and asked if we wanted to check out one of their budget offerings. The Ducky OK-M-98 is the latest in a lineup of great mechanical keyboards, and we were lucky to get hands-on with it. As always, this review was written using the keyboard in question. This Keyboard is more than OK Coming in a number of different sizes, the Ducky OK-M can be found in 65%, 75% and 98%. We received the 98 layout, which effectively gives you an almost full-size keyboard. With it being slightly compact, it fit great on my desk and feels good in use. Design Features ...

KiiBOOM Phantom 81 V4 Keyboard Review

Fresh off the back of reviewing the KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite Keyboard I got straight into another very aesthetically pleasing KiiBOOM product. That product? The KiiBOOM Phantom 81 V4 keyboard! Swapping cutesy pink for a sleek black let's get into the key(board) points of this review. Functional Artistry Those are the words KiiBOOM themselves use to describe this keyboard, and I've got to say, aesthetically I agree. This looks like an expensive piece of hardware, and yet the price point is not too high at £150. I'm a huge fan of my KiiBOOM Phantom 81 Lite so let's see if it's big brother can live up it's reputation. Design This keyboard is effortlessly cool, at least in this black colourway.

KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite Keyboard Review

Earlier this year we took a look at some cute KiiiBOOM keyboards and keycaps, during which I became a big fan of the brand. So obviously, I said a very enthusiastic yes when I was asked if I would like to review the KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite! Available in a few colourways, I opted for the pink with the KiiBOOM Mossy Silent switches. 96% meow keyboard The KiiBOOM Phantom 98 Lite is the size of the Phantom 98 combined with the pastel prettiness of the Phantom 81 Lite.

be quiet! Dark Mount Silent Linear Keyboard & Dark Perk Ergo Mouse Review

I've always known be quiet! as the company that makes some of the quietest PC components around. Whether it's CPU coolers, cases or power supplies, they've built a reputation for making high-quality hardware that keeps noise to a minimum without compromising on performance. So, when I heard they were bringing that same philosophy to gaming peripherals with the Dark Mount keyboard and Dark Perk Ergo mouse, I was genuinely interested to see how they'd compare against the more established names in the market. Mechanical keyboards and gaming mice aren't exactly in short supply these days. Every manufacturer seems to have their own take on what makes the perfect setup, whether that's ultra-lightweight designs, RGB lighting that could probably be seen from space or more programmable buttons t...

Join me as I take a closer look at the KiiBOOM X Cosydiaries Rainy Froggy Day Keycap Set and the KiiBOOM X Elyxirine Digital Dreams: Pastel Y2K Keycap Set. Rainy Froggy Day The KiiBOOM X Cosydiaries Rainy Froggy Day Keycap Set are actually a collaboration product between KiiBOOM and content creator Cosydiaries.

In the box you get 144 keys, meaning they can be used for 60%, 65%, 75...
