Storm Lancers Review (PC)
There’s nothing like sitting down to a nice roguelike adventure where getting defeated only means you’re going to get better. I wish life were like that. Maybe it is. I don’t know. It’s not that type of review. Anyway, Storm Lancers from developer and publisher ProbablyMonsters is a roguelike 2D platformer that contains some fun monsters, quick and easy controls, and some good bosses that aren’t t...[Read More]
Hyperkin The Competitor Controller (PC/Xbox)
Sometimes it doesn’t take a $200 SCUF controller to enjoy a gameplay session. Sometimes a $49.99 controller is just fine. Well, Hyperkin has just that controller for you with The Competitor. This $49.99 wonder features hall effect thumbsticks, impulse triggers (for that extra immersion), a programmable backend, and just enough customizable grip to make it seem like you’ve got a fancy controller. W...[Read More]
Epomaker Carbon X Mouse Review (PC)
Gaming mice are everywhere. Most of what you will find is led by design, where you might get a gazillion buttons mixed with a supposed ‘ergonomic’ design that is supported by overly complicated software. In my opinion, the more artsy the mouse with too many unnecessary features and complicated software, the more try-hard the company is at pushing the word gaming in their product. When searching fo...[Read More]
‘Rally Arcade Classics’ Review PC
Motorsports, in its purest form, is just racing time and going as fast as you possibly can. Running as hard as you can for the length you need to run. All forms. Formula 1, NASCAR, hell, even racing on the playground at school. Racing is something that gets into you, and you can’t let go. I remember arcade racing games at our local burger joint and movie theater as a kid were the ones I always wan...[Read More]
Epomaker Click Lite Mouse Review
I had no idea that Epomaker made mice. They generally do a damn good job with keyboards, but mice? That’s a Logitech/Razr game. Wrong. The Epomaker Click Lite Mouse is an interesting yet unassuming mouse. On the surface, this lightweight, plastic-like mouse feels like one you might have bought at the checkout aisle of a grocery store in passing. But don’t let that fool you. While most gaming mice ...[Read More]
AULA F108 Pro Keyboard Review
I never expected to get a pro version of the AULA F108 for review, but here we are. While AULA F108 Pro contains the same oddball south-facing LED letters on the keys as the smaller version does, it still maintains that same wonderful typing flow, while also offering some decently built software that is easy to use. Of course, that doesn’t mean everything is perfect with the F108; rather, it just ...[Read More]
Epomaker TH108 Keyboard Review
Keyboard progression has become a huge deal lately. As more PC elit…gamers jump on the hype train with that platform, having the right keyboard is essential. Esports folks need a more complicated, adjustable keyboard. Streamers who bring their personality and precision require a more nuanced way of stroking keys. For old people like me, I just need that sweet-sweet creamy sound that assures my PC ...[Read More]
AULA F108 Keyboard Review
I have been a typing enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I started a lonnnnngggg time ago on an IBM typewriter. Yes, the one with ink ribbons. Also, the one that didn’t feature the Whiteout ribbons. What a Godsend those were. It sure beat standalone Whiteout. Anyway, I digress. As time marched on, my keyboard experience journeyed from typewriter to serial wired, then from serial wired to USB...[Read More]

AJAZZ AK680 Max Mechanical Keyboard Review
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]
Mechlands Vibe99 Review (PC)
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]
