Poweradd 20000mah Power Delivery Portable Charger review
For the past few days I’ve been charging my smartphone, headphones and Switch with a single portable charger: Poweradd’s monstrous 20000mah unit. This power bank supports the USB Type-C Power Delivery specification, allowing it to provide up to 18W of power to a range of USB-C devices. Crucially, that’s the same rating as Switch, allowing…

QPAD MK40 review: hybrid enervation
As mechanical keyboards have risen in popularity, we’ve seen a corresponding backlash from fans of membrane keyboards. Some hate the sound and feel of mechanical keyboards, while others think that spending £50 or £100 on a keyboard of any construction is simply outrageous. That’s perhaps why we’ve seen a fair few ‘membranical’ hybrids over the…

Roccat Kova Aimo review: a true ambidextrous mouse
There are plenty of ambidextrous mice on the market, but most don’t really live up to the description.

Speedlink Orios LED Gaming Mousepad Soft review

Speedlink Orios RGB mouse review
It’s been years since we last reviewed a Speedlink mouse, and the industry has changed substantially in that time – holey mice at ultra low weights have come into vogue, RGB lighting has become table stakes and sensors have reached an impressive standard. The Orios SL-680010-BK, Speedlink’s latest, is definitely a mouse of the times,…

Orico Transparent NVMe enclosure review
There are plenty of NVMe drive enclosures on the market, with most encasing your super-speedy and hyper-compact SSD in a simple metal tube. The Orico Transparent NVMe enclosure looks a little different, with a transparent plastic housing and an integrated metal heatsink in black, blue, red or silver. Orico sent us an enclosure to test,…

Cello W3202SH 32-inch 144Hz gaming monitor review
Today we’re reviewing the W3202SH, a budget 144Hz gaming monitor from English electronics firm Cello. While most monitors of this type exist from 24 to 27 inches, interestingly this is a 32-inch model, as big as a small HDTV.
