Review by Matt S. So many enthusiast keyboards deliberately aim for an aesthetic that tells people “I’m here for the hardcore gamer, so if you’re not one, go away.” Industrial metallic greys and a form factor designed to take as much space as possible combine to create something that by…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. You must have heard the one about the monkeys. If you put a monkey in a room with a keyboard all you’ll get is gibberish. But if you give an infinite number of keyboards to an infinite number of monkeys you’ll end up with the Complete…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Earlier this week I reviewed a gaming keyboard from CoolerMaster. It is a good keyboard, and assuming you’ve got a good headset to drown out the noise of the keys I fully recommend it. But a keyboard needs a mate to be fully functional. So now…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In principle I find the idea of spending a couple of hundred dollars on a keyboard to be ludicrous. But then I used the CoolerMaster CM Storm Mech, and now it makes much more sense. The keyboard is designed for enthusiasts, with an aluminium-based design that…

This device only…

Read MoreReview by Rob P. This could be a candidate for the shortest review ever. Here are the essentials: the Wahoo Fitness Blue HR is a heart rate monitor. It’s accurate and reliable, and the software is excellent. It’s reasonably priced. There’s no reason not to buy it. That’s all that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Braven 850 (and its ruggard counterpart the 855s) are bricks. They are weighty, unassuming little boxes that also happen to house some truly incredible noise making speakers. These things are designed to be taken out and about to picnics, the beach and BBQs, but I…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Roxio’s been offering various game capture software and hardware solutions over the years, and while they’ve generally been popular, the entire product category is going to face some sheer competition in the future from the console manufacturers themselves who are building sharing and streaming features into…
