Gadget review by Rob P. I’ll admit that I shed a tiny tear when Mad Catz went into administration in 2017. It’s not that their products were always the best – although I’d argue that their fight sticks and the RAT range of mice were right up there – but…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Pity the poor reviewer, faced with the task of appraising yet another mechanical keyboard. The problem is, for the most part, these things are boring. While gaming-oriented membrane keyboards verge on the wild, wacky and innovative, there’s an unwritten rule which says that mechanical devices must…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. My, this is a sprightly one. There’s a definite liveliness to the key action on the Roccat Horde Aimo. In comparison with other mid-price keyboards it’s like having a trampoline for your fingers. This is all deliberate, of course. Roccat have never been shy about trying…
Read MoreWhat happens if you take an already solid keyboard, make a few improvements to the overall design and add some considerable flash? You wind up with an even better overall package, which is the best way for me to describe the Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum Gaming Keyboard. Several months ago, I…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Something about the Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard clicked with me almost the moment I took it out of the box. It feels sturdy, looks sharp and keys immediately felt good and tactile. The form is definitely there, but the function is even more…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Razer makes good keyboards. I already said as much when I reviewed the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate a few weeks ago. Razer, in fact, understands keyboards so well that it also understands that the maddeningly click noise that mechanical keyboards cause is the #1 cause of spousal…
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. 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…
