Input Club K-Type Mechanical Keyboard: For Enthusiasts, By Enthusiasts

Input Club aren’t just any keyboard company. In fact, they’re not like any other keyboard company. This small, six-man team out of California is made up of some of the most passionate members of the mechanical keyboard community out there. In short, if you’re a mechanical keyboard fan, they are exactly the kind of people you would want calling the shots on your next board. Today, we’re looking at the Input Club K-Type.


Audio-Technica SR9 High Fidelity Headphones: Platinum Tier

When it comes to audio equipment, Audio-Technica is the brand to watch. This autumn, we reviewed both incredibly popular (and extremely good) M50X reference headphones, as well as the audiophile’s gaming headset, the ADG1X. Today, we’re sampling another impressive entry from their Sound Reality line, the ATH-SR9s. They’re the most premium set of headphones we’ve had in the office, but do these headphones justify their also-premium price tag?


noblechairs EPIC: High Class

If you don’t know noblechairs, you should. When we began reviewing chairs earlier this year, our own Gareth Harmer immediately spoke up that we should reach out, having been the proud owner of a real leather Noblechair for some time. Well, today is that day. My only regret is not getting in touch sooner. We’re looking at the noblechairs EPIC in black and gold, what might be the classiest gaming chair we’ve tried yet.


Astro A40 TR Gaming Headset and MixAmp: Tournament Ready

Since Autumn, we’ve been exploring headphones and headsets like never before. As we round out into regular coverage, we knew we had to reach out to one of the biggest headset makers in the world: Astro. They were kind enough to send us a selection of their best, and we’re kicking this off with the A40 TR: a high-end tournament ready headset with its own surround sound MixAmp. This is our review.


Mistel Barocco MD600 Split RGB Keyboard - Our Most Interesting Keyboard Yet

The Mistel Barocco MD600 RGB might just be the most interesting keyboard we’ve seen. Not only is it well-made and supremely programmable, but it also features an ergonomic split allowing you to position it more comfortably than any standard keyboard. For gaming, it’s more capable than most “gaming” boards out there, but is it enough to make you split with your hard-earned cash? This is our review.


Mistel Keyboards’ Sleeker MD870: Aluminum Artistry

There’s a great big world out there outside of those with the word “gaming” on the box, even though those keyboards might be perfectly suited to gaming. Today, we’re expanding our exploration of the mechanical world, beginning with the Mistel Keyboards Sleeker MD870. It’s the most boutique board I have ever used, but for $199, is it worth buying in?


Secretlab Omega 2018 Version: Super Stylish, Superior Quality

Since its founding in 2015, Secretlab’s mission statement has been the same: to deliver premium chairs without the extravagant prices. They’ve made quite a splash over their short time on the market and it’s no surprise. Their chairs are stylish and have gained the kind of groundswell it takes other brands years to develop. Not content to rest on their laurels, Secretlab is refreshing their flagship Omega with a brand new 2018 version.


Logitech G PowerPlay System with G903/703 Gaming Mice: Bye Bye, Wires

For years, wireless gaming mice lagged behind their wired counterparts. Worse, nothing wrecked a game faster than feeling that battery start to die in the middle of your gaming session. Those problems are a thing of the past with the Logitech G PowerPlay system. We can finally charge our mice, right through the mouse mat. But with the charging system and mouse costing nearly $200, is it worth the cost of entry?


Massdrop x AKG K7XX/Minimic: Building the Ultimate Gaming Headset

In almost every case, a gaming headset is a tradeoff between the mic and sound. We decided to fix that by making our own. Today, we're taking a close look at the Massdrop x AKG K7XX Audiophile Headphones, paired with their own Minimic and Creative's Sound BlasterX E5 gaming amp, to build our very own "no sacrifices" gaming headset. Let's dive in.


Turtle Beach Elite Pro: Turtle Beach Takes it Up a Notch

Turtle Beach is close to a household name in gaming circles. If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve probably seen a pair at a demo station or written up in a “best headset” list. We were lucky enough to get our hands on their new PC gaming headset, the Turtle Beach Elite Pro. Will it review as well as its console counterparts or has time been unkind to these cans? Let’s find out.

Cooler Master MK750: A New Flagship is Born (GIVEAWAY)

Cooler Master has long been one of the premier brands in the world of mechanical gaming keyboards. Over the years, they’ve developed a reputation for solid build quality, good looks, and unique features that feel great to engage with. At Computex this year, we got our first look at the what the company is calling their new flagship, the MasterKeys MK750. When a company as well respected as this dubs something the best of the best, it’s time to stand up and take notice. But does it deliver?


Antlion ModMic 4 and 5 Combined Review: Time To Go Modular?

Do you have a pair of headphones you’d like to use for gaming but they don’t have a mic? Antlion Audio has the answer with the ModMic. Today, we’re taking a look at both the ModMic 4 and ModMic 5 to examine whether they live up to their reputation and which one you should choose. This is our review of the ModMic 4 and ModMic 5.


Audio-Technica ADG1X High Fidelity Gaming Headset: An Audiophile's Gaming Headset

Earlier this Fall, we took a look at Audio-Technica’s ATH-M50X studio headphones and walked away impressed. We had to reach out to see if we could look at one of their dedicated gaming headsets. They were happy to oblige and sent over their ATH-ADG1x High Fidelity Gaming Headset. Coming from a company best known for professional grade audio equipment, is this the gaming headset for gamers and audiophiles alike?


Corsair ST100: More Than Just a Headphone Stand

The ST100 is more than just a headphone stand. That was the first thing I had to wrap my head around when Corsair asked if I would like to take it for a spin. Instead, the ST100 combines its purposes, saving you desk space, and offers the unique ability to open any set of analog headphones you have to full 7.1 surround sound. Is it worth the $59.99 MSRP?
