Last year I delved deeper into the arena of customizable mechanical keyboards, one I had primarily passed by in my years of gaming. The AJAZZ AK820 Max and the AJAZZ AK870 were two sides of a similar coin. Both had impressive lighting effects, responsive and satisfying keystrokes, and ease of use for whatever purpose they would be implemented for. When it was all said and done, the AK820 felt like...[Read More]
In the early days of typing (post-Linotype), there was nothing like having a good-sounding keyboard that typed well. I started back in the IBM typewriter days featuring the globe of letters leading the way. From there, I worked my way through Apple IIe to gain experience on an actual computer keyboard, which brought me spiritual fulfillment. Yeah, that’s dramatic, but I love a good keyboard. In 20...[Read More]
For over a month, I have had the pleasure of trying out the AJAZZ AK820 Max HE keyboard. It’s a mini keyboard, designed with an old school Commodore 64 structure (at least visually – and for an old person like me) that is more focused on the perfect gaming experience than it is an ideal typing stroke for Microsoft Word, although it does a comfortable job inside that application. Check out the AJAZ...[Read More]
There is nothing in this world more satisfying than a good keyboard. When done right, a keyboard is a word piano that allows you mental verbal musical flow, as you put together a Magnus opus of a paper, review, or academic journal (because you’re dying to do one of those). In addition to flow, when the keys are going hard, there is nothing like hearing the clicky-clack of a good keyboard sound. It...[Read More]
This past week, Digitalchumps was privy to a preview from Bethesda Studios and MachineGames Studio about their game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. While the preview was hands-off, which I’m sure will change very soon, we did get some great insight about the game’s gameplay, timeline, and how it was trying to balance what makes up a good Indiana Jones adventure. Now, what we didn’t get during ...[Read More]

In a world filled with emulator-driven handhelds on Amazon.com, and endless amounts of Namco Museums since the 90s, it’s fascinating seeing those ideals collide on the PC with Antstream Arcade. The service is a cloud-based streaming service that allows you to play, save, and dive into a bevy of retro games. The service offers over 1300 games and does enough to make the experience worthwhile. Or at...[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’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]
