Over the past few years, I’ve used Logitech’s G502 HERO as my gaming mouse of choice. It had some heft, it had the appropriate amount of extra buttons, it had a simple LED (which I never bothered to adjust), and an excellent 25k DPI sensor. I’ve gone through two units because of how I’ve become so attached to its ergonomic design and how I could add some weight to it. Yes, dear reader, I’ve opted ...[Read More]
It’s incredibly rare when a sub-$100 keyboard excites me. This isn’t to say that budget mechanical keyboards are “bad” – not at all. It’s just that the lower-end of the mechanical keyboard price spectrum often includes a wealth of compromises, going anywhere from weird switches, questionable build quality, or a lack of customization that mechanical keyboard consumers often seek as they become more...[Read More]
Pro controllers are a luxury for most players since their price points are well above the normal asking price of a first-party default controller. Despite their higher-than-usual price point, pro controllers are literally built different, containing better-quality parts and having additional features for more specialized gaming needs. If you’re afraid of the omnipresent concern of stick drift that...[Read More]

Finding the right PC controller can be tricky. Finding one that has comfort, style, and weight to it is generally a compromise. Some controllers have a few of those boxes checked, while others have almost none of those checked. And with the diverse nature of Steam and Epic Games when it comes to controller compatibility, there has to be a pretty darn good reason to jettison an official Xbox or Pla...[Read More]
I have enjoyed the coolness of PDP controllers since the Wii. They are usually stylish, lit up to perfection, and feel like maintainable controllers with longevity. In other words, their controllers have always felt solid and not cheap. I know, a little bit of a ramble, but I wanted to get the point across. They’re typically a good brand. My experience with the Wii controllers aside, as well as a ...[Read More]

I’m absolutely flabbergasted at the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro headset. Most of the time, I would enjoy the comfort of a TB headset, and the beautiful delivery of the audio, and be forever annoyed by a dongle that belongs to the early 2000s. While there have been more than a few headsets that have impressed me in the TB family, they always seemed to feature some minor or major quirk that kept them f...[Read More]
