Teevolution Terra Gaming Mouse Review

Recently, we got contacted by a new company, Teevolution, asking if we wanted to check out their new ergonomic gaming mouse. 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. Initially they launched a few years ago under Fantech, however, there were issues with the branding and the identity. They admitted their failures and went back to the drawing board. They ma...

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...

Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Keyboard Review

The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard has been out for some time now. The question is, how does it stand up against more recent releases? We got a nice little care package from the amazing people at Razer. So let's see if we can answer that question. Sneki Snek Saves Trees Yes, you read that right, that little Sneki Snek in some of our pictures saves 10 trees. Razer's commitment to sustainability means that for every Sneki Snek you purchase, 10 trees will be planted. I'd say that's worth checking out. Much like this review. See what I did there? Design Like most Razer products, the BlackWidow V4 Pro has a beautiful black finish. A strong sturdy keyboard, with plenty of features under the hood. Fear not though, if black isn't your colour, it does come in white too! Featuring a com...

Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% Keyboard Review

It's not a surprise that we love the Razer hardware line-up and the Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% keyboard really intrigued us. Our main concern was how all the fancy new gadgetry was going to effect the battery life. Read on to find out what we discovered. Command and Conquer Let's be honest, this is another great product name from Razer. This keyboard itself boasts some amazing features too. But will it live up to the hype? Let's take a look. Design The Razer Blackwidow range covers 7 (ish) keyboards of all different qualities and features. What sets this one apart is that little OLED display on the top right of the keyboard. Aside from that we are adorned with all-around aluminium, albeit with a plastic underside. What does that 75% in the name mean you may be asking. It's size of cou...
