While there are no shortage of quality headsets and microphones to use while gaming these days, it can be a daunting task to jump from the "general gamer" to "aspiring streamer"; or in my case to "I have to professionally represent a website and sound somewhat respectable". There are quite a few products on the market ...
Optical switches are the new craze in the PC peripheral world, and due to their laser precision and lightning fast speed, the technology is marketed heavily to the gaming community. But does it stand up to the hype? I tried out a mouse and keyboard combo from Bloody to see if I could get to the bottom of that question....
I have floated back and forth between console and PC gaming over the years. While focusing on the PC field and adding to my Steam library more I have found that the hardware is as important as the games themselves. Thankfully, the HyperX Pulsefire Core does a wonderful job as an entry level piece of hardware for those entering, or reentering, the PC field.
When it comes to immersing oneself in a game, a good peripheral can make or break an experience. I have been racing with the Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel [Leather Edition] for about a month, and I wanted to share my thoughts on how it measures up. My history with racing wheels began almost 2 decades ago, and it has been interesting to watch ...
It's been sometime since I've reviewed a keyboard for Co-Optimus, with my last official review actually being the one I'm reviewing today's predecessor. But since that time I had fully switched to a Razer Black Widow Chroma that served me well for a number of years. But like my SteelSeries mouse impressions piece stated, the software and glitches became too numerous to stay invested in the Razer ecosystem so I dove in headfirst to an all SteelSeries lineup. The final piece of that puzzle is the SteelSeries Apex M750 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard.
I recently had the chance to try out the Spearhead VR Gaming Headphones, which were graciously sent over by the folks at 1MORE. While the Chinese company is primarily known for producing a range of excellent (and budget friendly) in-ear headphones, the Spearhead line marks their first attempt at catering to the gaming market. Having now...
It was almost five years ago that I first sampled the ultra-wide monitor space - a resolution that puts your aspect ratio at 21:9 over the standard 16:9 most monitors are today. Gaming and technology has progressed quite a bit since then - with resolution, design, and refresh rate all improving. So when I got the chance to check out the latest Ultra-Wide gaming panel from AOC, the 35” AG352UCG6, I jumped at the chance.
The folks over at HyperX Gaming sent over their latest headset - the Cloud Alpha for us to check out. My ears have been getting a workout lately looking at both a set from Sennheiser and SteelSeries fairly recently. The Cloud Alpha is competitive with both of these - especially since they all fall right around the $100 price point. So how does it stack up?
Sennheiser sent over their GSP 300 series gaming headset for us to check out. I’ve been putting it through the paces over the past two weeks to see how it stacks up against the likes of the Steel Series Arctis 5 and Astro A40s.
Microsoft has finally taken lifted the shroud off of their Project Scorpio console. The successor to the Xbox One is really...just an Xbox One. But an extremely powerful one. Sadly, there's no scorpion logo...or astral signs.
Steelseries is a big name in headsets, so when they told me they were launching a radically different line, I was intrigued. After using the Arctis 3 in my daily work and gaming routine for over three weeks, I’ve been impressed with the performance, though the experience comes with its own unique, and sometimes annoying, quirks.
The Fnatic Clutch G1 Optical Gaming Mouse, the second mouse in the Fnatic line, saw its debut at the beginning of this month. After spending nearly two weeks with it in hand, I wanted to share my thoughts on this minimalist mouse designed by gamers for gamers. Fnatic is an Esports organization with professional teams spread across multiple ...
