QPAD DX-700 Mouse Review

QPAD have delivered a wired alternative to their recent QPAD DX-900. This comes in the form of their QPAD DX-700, similar not only in name but it's almost an identical mouse. I recently reviewed the QPAD DX-900 and it's safe to say the key differences lie in whether you want to go wired or wireless. Whilst still relatively new to the scene, QPAD has already made quite the splash. With their range of "Pro Gaming Gear", they now have a variety of keyboards, mice, headsets, mousepads and more. I've had good impressions so far from their headset and mouse range. Design The QPAD DX-700 comes in the same style of premium packaging that QPAD dons as a standard. One thing I like about their packaging approach is that everything feels nice and secure. As you can see below it's effectively the ...

QPAD DX-900 Wireless Mouse Review – Mice To See You

Having enjoyed the QPAD QH-700 headset, which I reviewed last year, I was keen to see what other products QPAD had available. They're a relatively new brand in my eyes, but one that prides themselves on eSports quality products. Well QPAD kindly sent Thumb Culture some mice. In fact both a wired and wireless option in the form of their DX-700 and DX-900 respectively. In this review I'll be focusing on the QPAD DX-900 Wireless Mouse but be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming review of the DX-700. Design As always I am a sucker for a well packaged product. When you're spending money it's nice to feel like you have a high quality item fresh out of the box, and the QPAD DX-900 delivers. As you open the box you're able to glean your first look at the mouse and it looks really sleek. ...

EndGame Gear XM1r Mouse Review – Finger Clickin’ Good

Endgame Gear I have to admit before the EndGame Gear XM1r arrived with me I had never heard of them. One of the reasons is due to my ignorance and being quite new to PC Gaming. The other is, I always tend to go with products I see in the mainstream. Endgame Gear is a Berlin-based esports and gaming accessories brand. Their current offering is based around mice, accessories for them and gaming surfaces. Endgame Gear XM1r Mouse - Bringing Value To The Mouse End Game Having always had mice designed for right-handed gamers along with myself having a hybrid grip type. I was excited to see how the XM1r faired up with its ambidextrous design. Have you entered the Endgame Gear realm yet? Let us know in the comments below! Design Let's talk about the Endgame Gear XM1r's design first. I opted fo...

Roccat Vulcan 121 Aimo Gaming Keyboard Review

With all that extra time you may all of a sudden have sitting in your house, perhaps now could be a good time to take a look at those PC upgrades that you have never got around to. Roccat kindly sent me a Vulcan 121 Aimo gaming keyboard a few weeks ago to test and wow it really is something else! On first looks, the mechanical gaming keyboard looks striking as it comes out of the box, set on its dark anodized aluminium plate with its black keys seemingly hovering in the air as they sit on the clear Titan Tactile Switches below. The magnetic palm rest that connects onto the bottom of the keyboard is a lovely touch and it very comfortable when using the keyboard for long durations. The Vulcan 121 Aimo comes fully loaded with all of the high-class features that you would expect...

Roccat Kone Pure Ultra Gaming Mouse Review – Ergonomic Feather

I am quite particular when it comes to mice. Having come from the days of the heavy mouse where you had to regularly clean your ball and scrape the dirt from your rollers and then advancing to the optical versions I do sometimes struggle when I encounter a lightweight variant. Roccat was eager for me to try their new Kone Pure Ultra gaming mouse however when I read that it was only 66grams I did start to worry. Would I throw it off the desk? would it feel cheap? would it be ok under my palm for long durations? In the past when I have reviewed mice I have been hard to satisfy, particularly when it comes to ergonomics as I can suffer from cramps fairly easily and have had injections for carpal tunnel. So what did I think of the Kone Pure Ultra? Straight from the box, the first th...

Sades Axe RGB Gaming Mouse Review

Recently I got approached to review the Sades Axe RGB Gaming Mouse, and what kind of PC Master Race gamer would I be if I turned down the opportunity to get to grips with this piece of kit. So here we are, approximately a month after receiving the mouse and putting it through all kinds of tests, from general gaming to competitive gaming, and even just some day to day working in the office. Features The Sades Axe Gaming Mouse comes with a whole host of brilliant features. Including the following. Detachable Weight 5 Extra Buttons Esports Mouse Design DPI Shift Button RGB Illumination. Now I know you are thinking "What does this all mean?" or even "Why should I care?" and in general I would have to agree with you, all of this is just fluff, it's all just words unless...

Qpad DX-80 Gaming Mouse

The Qpad DX-80 gaming mouse, manufactured in the Czech Republic is the latest piece of hardware to be kindly received at TC HQ. Costing €49.90 direct from the Qpad website plus another €15 p&p to the UK, how does this multi-coloured mouse do? Starting with the packaging you can straight away see from the front what the RGB LED lit DX-80 is packing. We have an optical sensor, 7 buttons, upto 8000 dpi, a gold plated USB plug, 4000 frames per second and an onboard ARM processor. On the back of the box the spec is crammed 11 times in various languages, therefore, utilising a "one box for everywhere" design. Although this can be seen as a cost-saving, let's hope that this does not also reflect on the product itself. Sliding the ambidextrous DX-80 out from the box you are greet...

Roccat Horde Keyboard

When it comes to gaming keyboards you really only have one choice when it comes down to the best key actuation, and that is mechanical. Mechanical keys have always offered a faster response time than membrane when pressed, and tend to be on most gamer's desks. However, what if you cannot afford a mechanical gaming keyboard but would still like an upgrade on your quieter membrane version? Enter the Roccat Horde membranical gaming keyboard! No, I didn't just make up that word! Roccat has designed a wired gaming keyboard that allows the keys to have a fast midway actuation which in simple terms means that when you press a key, the fast response will allow the signal to be registered quicker than on a standard membrane keyboard. According to Roccat, the Horde will respond at 7.8ms ...

Roccat Khan AIMO Headset Review

Back in 2018, Roccat brought out a successor to the Khan Pro headset, effectively upgrading from a stereo speaker system to an all-singing all-dancing Hi-Res 7.1 surround sound monster, also with the addition of some funky RGB lighting. Having a pretty basic soundcard on my PC, I was keen to see how the Roccat Khan AIMO would enhance my immersion when playing games as well as listening to movies. Shut your eyes, crank up that volume and let's dive in! Design & Comfort The Roccat Khan AIMO does not look massively spectacular as you remove it from the box. On first perception, there is a lot of black plastic and plush leather which did not make me want to say "wow look at these!" straightaway. The rigid mic boom can be swiveled from it's upright position (mic muted) to it's low...
