Mad Catz B.A.T. 6+ review: a modular gaming mouse that mostly hits the mark
Mad Catz is in an interesting place. The long-running peripherals company died a death in 2017, but returned as a new company a year later. The company has since released updated versions of many of its classic peripherals, including the R.A.T. and B.A.T. mice that I knew them best by. Today we’re looking at one…

Epomaker NT68 review: a keyboard for mobile mechanical addicts
I have an affliction. Whenever I travel for work, I feel it necessary to bring along a mechanical keyboard – to write articles, to reply to emails or just to take notes. This is tremendous overkill: I have a recent-ish XPS laptop with a serviceable keyboard, after all, so I could easily get by without…

Redragon K596 Vishnu: a cut-price, full-featured gaming keyboard
When Redragon got in touch to offer a pick of their range of mechanical keyboards, I was quick to select the K596 Vishnu – a tenkeyless model with a laundry list of interesting features, including wireless connectivity, RGB lighting, dedicated media keys and a volume wheel for £65. We’ve seen mechanical keyboards become increasingly inexpensive…

Sahara Gaming R20 Keyboard Review
Today we’re looking at the Sahara Gaming R20, a familiar-looking tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for gaming or typing. The board features a number of nice features, including per-key RGB backlighting, macro keys and n-key rollover, at a very reasonable price point. That should be enough to translate into a firm recommendation, but does this board stick…

Aukey KM-G12 mechanical RGB gaming keyboard review
Mechanical gaming keyboards are a dime a dozen these days, and even the worst of them offer better tactile feedback and build quality than even premium rubber dome alternatives. As competition continues to build, we’re starting to see an increase in quality even at the lower end of the market, and it’s into this space…

QPAD MK95 review: two keyboards in one
Today we’re looking at the QPAD MK95, a rather unusual optical mechanical keyboard designed for gaming and typing. Its unique selling point is far from obvious at first glance – this looks like a standard mechanical gaming keyboard you’ve seen a hundred times before – but beneath the surface, something exceptional is happening. The central…

Speedlink Tarios gaming mouse review
Right on the heels of our coverage of the Xenon 770 MMO mouse, we have another plus-sized mouse, the Tarios from Speedlink. This German company has produced some excellent gaming rodents over the years, including the recent lightweight Orios, so let’s see how this larger and more feature-rich gaming rodent compares. Specs & Features 12…

Genesis Xenon 770 gaming mouse review
Today we’re looking at the Xenon 770, a MMO-focused gaming mouse from Polish outfit Genesis. With a recent optical sensor, the choice of four detachable wings and RGB lighting, this gaming rodent ticks the boxes we expect while also looking better put together than most budget options on Amazon. The Xenon 770 costs €39 in…

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. After all, a truly ambidextrous design should be more or less symmetrical throughout, including additional buttons on each side where they can easily be pressed by a thumb on the left or right hand. We are looking…
