Fight Pads can be a hit or miss item. Sometimes they feel a bit more like a novelty item. The Mortal Kombat one I reviewed some time ago was really just for fighting games with somewhat distinctive controls. It was well made, but really only built for those specific games…
Read MoreI have had a solid history with SteelSeries gear, but arguably my favourite piece of gaming hardware from the company was the SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism Gaming Headset.

Read MoreWhen it comes to PC gaming, there are a lot of different peripherals that can come into play. None of them are more important to me than the mouse, because that is my primary input device. Certainly for creating a more immersive experience, a great headset can be very important.…
