Valor Pro Controller Review (PC, Xbox)
My first journey into the pro controller gaming scene this year was with the Victrix controller from Turtle Beach. That controller introduced me to a new way to play fighting games without a stick, as well as a professional way to play Track and Field. Say what you will about the latter, but it excels on that damn controller. Anyway, it had been a hot minute since I journeyed into the Pro controll...[Read More]
Womier ERA75 Keyboard Review
My foray into the keyboard world this year has taught me quite a bit about what to expect when trying to choose a good keyboard. In my opinion, comfort, stability, flexibility, and good software are the main categories to judge a keyboard when picking the right one. Sometimes keyboards can be spot-on in those categories, and sometimes they can be a little off. Rarely are they so far off that the u...[Read More]
WX5+ Wireless RGB Controller Switch 2 Crayons Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
I despise the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Joy-Cons. I cannot stress that enough. I. HATE. THEM. They’re small, they’re not built for adult hands, and they cause a fair amount of pain for me. This is probably 50% of the reason why I avoid playing on each system. And don’t get me started on the Pro controllers. I mean, seriously, $89? For a controller? No thanks. So, what is a boy to do to get back...[Read More]
Womier Keyboard – SK75 TMR Review
As you are aware, or maybe you’re not, I’m a huge keyboard fanatic and someone tough to please when it comes to the perfect keyboard experience. Raised on an IBM globe typewriter, properly computer keyboard assimilated through a Commodore 128, my keyboard preferences are precise as they are particular. My fav? Creamy keyboards that are adjustable every which way and seamlessly programmed through a...[Read More]

Turtle Beach Burst II Air Gaming Mouse Review
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]
Chilkey ND75 Mechanical Keyboard Review
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]
Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller Camo Review
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]
RIG 900 MAX HX Headset Review
If you’re in the market for a $250+ gaming headset, you’re probably in the market for something that excels in just about every way a headset should function. It should sound fantastic. It should feel fantastic. It should at least last all day of heavy use. It should feel like it can hold up after months of use. It should give you the power to customize it as you wish. If you’re looking for just a...[Read More]
RIG 600 PRO HS/HX Headset Review
Let’s be real, most of us here probably have multiple devices and/or consoles, be it a phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, Nintendo Switch, PS5, XBOX Series X|S, or a combination of the above. We may also have a different headset for each device because of various compatibility issues and/or lack of connectivity across platforms. So, when a headset comes my way in the ~$100 category that plays nicely ...[Read More]

Afterglow Wave Wired Controller Review
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]
