Water and electronics don’t mix, unless you own the new SteelSeries Apex 150 gaming keyboard. The new budget-friendly keyboard from SteelSeries is designed for the klutz in mind, and can shrug off splashes like a champ.

FPS Gaming Mouse

First Person Shooter, or FPS, games are one of the most common gaming genres out there, but when it comes to gaming mice designed specifically for the genre, there is surprisingly very few out there. Of course, if you ask any professional FPS gamer, it’s easy to understand why. As FPS gaming relies almost solely on the quality of the main switches along with the accuracy of the sensor, FPS gamers typically select simple mice with quality switches and ultra-accurate sensors making gaming mice such as the Zowie EC2, Razer DeathAdder Elite, Logitech G Pro, or SteelSeries Rival 300 some of the most popular gaming mice for FPS gamers.

Of course, [...]

Last month, SteelSeries introduced the Rival 310 and Sensei 310 carrying what SteelSeries claims to be their most accurate and superior gaming mouse sensor, the TrueMove3, a new gaming mouse sensor developed in partnership with PixArt delivering true 1:1 tracking.

In an effort to appeal to the more budget conscious consumers, SteelSeries is now also introducing the new Rival 110 featuring the new TrueMove 1 sensor. Like the TrueMove 3 sensor, the TrueMove 1 sensor features true 1:1 tracking, but has a 7,200 CPI and 240 IPS tracking compared to the TrueMove 3 sensor’s 12,000 CPI and 350+ IPS tracking. Additional features of the Rival 110 include six [...]

Simple, Portable, Durable

Over the years, Cooler Master has grown up quite a bit with their mechanical keyboard designs. Unlike many of the designs of the past, Cooler Master’s new keyboards now focus on a more of the back to basics design approach with minimal frills, but all the functionality you’d want in a mechanical keyboard.

The Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S is the embodiment of that new design philosophy. Aside from the logo, Cooler Master keyboards appear to have few differentiating factors against its competitors, but as the platitude goes, never judge a keyboard by its cover.

Today we’ll be reviewing one of Cooler [...]

SteelSeries has recently announced the new Apex M750 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard. The Apex M750 features a stylish aerospace aluminium front plate, SteelSeries QX2 mechanical switches, RGB backlighting and macros managed using the SteelSeries Engine software.

SteelSeries’ expertise in peripherals is legendary. Now, with the release of its Sensei 310 and Rival 310 gaming mice, the popular gaming peripherals company is looking to raise it to a whole new level.

What makes the Sensei 310 and Rival 310 special is the sensor that they carry. The new TrueMove3 sensor guarantees 1-to-1 tracking performance at sub-3,500DPI settings without the need of a jitter reduction algorithm. When pushed beyond 3,500DPI, an advanced tracking correction algorithm kicks in, which SteelSeries promises that it will introduce minimal latency. The sensor has a sensitivity ceiling of 12,000 DPI, but almost no gamer would ever play [...]

Recently, we were given the opportunity to test some of Nixeus’s peripherals starting with the Nixeus Moda Pro mechanical keyboard which was an excellent keyboard that’s easy to use, durable, and came in at a reasonable price. Today we’ll be reviewing one of their gaming mice, the Nixeus REVEL, which is Nixeus’s sole gaming mouse offering thus far.

The Nixeus REVEL is a relatively basic gaming mouse designed for eSports gamers in mind. There’s no fancy programmable RGB funtionality or macro functionality to speak of, but what it does have is top notch hardware where it counts. The sensor onboard is the PMW 3360 [...]

So you’ve got your RGB gaming mouse and you’ve got your RGB gaming keyboard. What’s left? An RGB gaming mousepad.

In its raving new campaign to light up your desk with skittle colors, SteelSeries has introduced its latest inception: the QcK Prism. We’ve seen the Prism moniker before in products such as the SteelSeries Siberia Prism, and we’re overjoyed that it’s finally made its way into mousepads.

Kraken Reloaded

Today we’ll be reviewing the Razer Kraken Pro V2 gaming headset which is successor to the Razer Kraken Pro gaming headset launched all the way back in 2012. While Razer has unveiled numerous editions of the Kraken headset lineup including the Kraken Forged Edition, the Kraken 7.1, and Kraken Chroma over the years, the original that everything has been based on has gotten quite long in the tooth and as such, Razer recently revamped the headset offering several major improvements over its predecessor.
