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...

Roccat Kain 120 AIMO Review

Following on from the news back in August of Roccat's latest gaming mice, we have been lucky enough at TC HQ to obtain a Kain 120 AIMO to take for a test slide. Straight from the box the wired gaming mouse has a good weight to it, 89g to be exact. It doesn't feel too heavy to slide around, nor does it feel like a plastic box of air. The rubber gliders on the underside do a great job of allowing the mouse feel frictionless as it travels across the mousepad. The height of the mouse is a pleasant 4.3cm while the width is 6.5cm and the length is 12.4cm. It feels just the right size below my large hand. The Kain 120 AIMO comes with a 1.8m braided usb cable, great if your PC is on the floor or on the other side of the desk. The Kain 120 AIMO glows beautifully alongside the keyboar...

Snakebyte Pro Range Review

Recently through the Thumb Culture door came the Snakebyte PRO range of products, this included a keyboard, mouse and a nice mouse pad, apparently all designed for the pro gamer. Now whilst I am definitely not a pro gamer, I thought it would be poignant to take each of these products for a ride in the day to day working that goes on in my office. Including some graphics design, video editing as well as general internet stuff and a splattering of gaming here and there. Let's dive into the snake pit and take a look at the products. Snakebyte Key:Board PRO With mechanical feel keys this keyboard definitely gives a satisfying click to your key presses, although when you are typing a document out this clicking can be a little annoying, but eventually you get desensitised to the sound and ...
