SteelSeries makes exceptional audio equipment. Whether it’s the headsets, speakers or microphones, the bulk of what I use for both listening to and creating audio has the little circular logo-thing on it, whatever that’s meant to be. One thing I didn’t have previously was something truly portable, for my Switch or music listening on the go. Now, thanks to the…
Out of the box, the Gulikit KK3 Max feels like a much better controller than what you just paid for it. For a little over $100 AUD, you get a nice soft, silky feel across the surface, and it’s nicely weighted so that it fits comfortably in the hand. It…
The value of “pro” controllers is a little lost on me, as…
Manufacturing third-party controllers must be a tough gig. It’s one of those…
You get what you pay for, as the saying goes, and with the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL, you do pay a premium, but you get Snek! Snek is a Snake clone that you can play in the little OLED screen display that is in the top right-hand corner of the…

“Stream Deck does nothing but controls everything.” That’s the way Elgato like to talk up this esoteric little device, and it’s actually pretty apt. It’s a very dumb device, and quite difficult to get started with. After picking up the most recent Stream Deck+, I honestly didn’t think I’d get…

Skullcandy pitches itself as a company for good quality, but price-conscious lifestyle sound equipment. While you can certainly play games with the company’s headsets and other sound equipment, they’re more designed for people looking for a good musical experience, while also being stylish for use out and about, while at…

I’m about to age myself here: I remember when getting a box of ten 3.5-inch floppy disks was a big deal. With each disk having 1.44 MB of memory, such a box was a whopping 14.4 MB of storage! That meant so many photos back then, or little arcade games…

I love Sega. I grew up a Sega kid and I am still a Sega fan to this day. When Sega released the Genesis Mini back in 2019, I bought it on day one because it had a solid list of titles and I also liked collecting miniature consoles. I…

I did not realise that the Elgato Wave DX was so inexpensive until I did some research in writing this review. I actually thought the price tag would be much higher. This is incredible. For a shave over $Aus150 you get a XLR microphone that is of incredibly high quality…

The Trimui Smart is a smart (hah) idea in an increasingly loaded market. Thanks to devices such as the Steam Deck, Ayn Odin Pro, and the Ayaneo range, portable emulation options handhelds have leaped, massively, in the past year. It’s now relatively easy and often inexpensive to play everything up…

Sometimes I wish that Stuff For Gamers (TM) had better aesthetics. The Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wireless mouse is an ugly thing. But it is comfortable. And very, very good for games that require precision and speed. That is, ultimately, what everyone (not just The Gamers (TM)) needs. This is…

I finally have the Ayn Odin Pro. According to the order records, I put the order down for it back in June, and it arrived yesterday. Putting aside some very questionable customer service (at one point in August I emailed to ask nicely for a rough ETA, and their response…
