After the “scheduled” end of my Unicomp Model M, a keyboard that ended up as electronic scrap shortly after the warranty expired due to electronic damage to the controller, total internal gluing and unavailable spare parts, I looked for a more robust, sustainable alternative. Unfortunately, repairing the Model M proved to be [...]
Introduction and unboxing With the “Celeris 1800” model, Endorfy has presented a new keyboard that is characterized by its functional and understated design. The color scheme is a simple shade of grey, which has been harmoniously matched to the equally discreetly designed keycaps. The switches used were developed in-house and blend [...]
With the Deepcool DM9, I’m presented with a thermal compound today that could almost be prematurely labeled as outdated due to its high zinc oxide content. At first glance, the technical data seems rather unspectacular, the packaging is plain, and the price of around 5 euros for 4 grams indicates entry-level rather than ambitious high-end [...]
Today we take a look at a monitor that is typically used in the office or home office, the EIZO FlexScan EV3450XC. A 34-inch curved (3800 mm radius) ultrawide monitor – with an IPS panel – that boasts a resolution of 3440 x 1440p and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. At this point, it should already be clear that the monitor is not at home in [...]
Nanya is not a typo in a fantasy novel, but a lesser known and actually the world’s fourth largest DRAM manufacturer, after Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. Nanya is perhaps best known from the DDR4 era, where their 8 Gbit B-Die was able to imitate the well-known Samsung 8 Gbit B-Die in many aspects and was one of the few high-performance, low [...]
Introduction and unboxing Today I have something special on offer, or rather in the test. The conspicuously inconspicuous ASUS ROG Azoth X gaming keyboard. A very interesting board from ASUS with high-quality workmanship, great keycaps and very good switches. The ROG Azoth X is a 75% customizable gaming keyboard for gamers and keyboard enthusiasts [...]
NZXT is putting the latest iteration of the H9 Flow case on the shelves just in time for Computex. After the gigantic success of the H6 Flow, it was only a matter of time before the “kink” also made its way into the top model. Read on to find out how the flagship performs in everyday use. When the NZXT H6 Flow was released at the end [...]
The relationship between industry and the media has always been a field of tension in which economic interests, editorial responsibility and consumer expectations clash. This discourse is regularly reignited in the area of technology reporting in particular, especially when it comes to hardware and consumer electronics – often emotionally [...]
Three days (including set-up day) have now passed since the gates of Computex 2025 opened – high time for a first small interim assessment before the remaining days become blurred in the usual event vortex. While the temperature in Taipei barely scrapes the 35-degree mark during the day and the humidity then gives you the rest, the heat felt [...]
With the launch of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series at Computex 2025, AMD is taking its workstation and high-end desktop platforms to a new level of performance. Based on the new “Zen 5” microarchitecture (“Shimada Peak”), the CPUs offer significantly improved multi-core performance, modern I/O connectivity with up to [...]
At Computex 2025, AMD presented the Radeon AI PRO R9700, a new GPU class for professional AI workloads. The card is explicitly aimed at developers, data scientists and companies that rely on local computing power – without dependence on cloud infrastructures or potentially insecure API access. AMD is thus addressing the increasing demand for [...]
With the Radeon RX 9060 XT, AMD is expanding its RDNA 4 graphics card series with a model aimed at price-conscious users who do not want to do without modern technologies. The card was unveiled today, May 21, 2025, at Computex and is only available via board partners, as AMD does not offer reference designs (MBA – Made by AMD). Board partner [...]
Intel is expanding its own portfolio of professional graphics cards with the launch of the Arc Pro B series at Computex 2025. The two new models Arc Pro B50 and Arc Pro B60 address different areas of application – from classic CAD and design applications to memory-intensive inference workloads with large language models. While the B50 was [...]
In the run-up to this year’s Computex, NVIDIA is presenting a wide-ranging update of its consumer and developer portfolio. In addition to the introduction of the GeForce RTX 5060 as the latest representative of the RTX 50 series, the focus is also on the gradual expansion of the software platform around DLSS 4, RTX Remix and an increasingly [...]
We have already seen several times in past tests that the Ryzen 9 of the 8000 series are performance monsters. However, these powerful chips are somehow often squeezed into pretty, but rather poorly ventilated cases. Although they can usually still deliver their performance, temperatures above 90°C and clearly audible fans are not uncommon. But [...]
Once almost around the globe, please! But only if the plane leaves at all. Welcome to the “world airport” Leipzig/Halle, a place that once harbored big dreams: of wanderlust, global connections and direct flights to all continents. Today, however, the whole thing feels more like the cautious flapping of wings of a jackdaw imagining [...]
Introduction and unboxing Today I have another new board on the table – a new keyboard, fresh from Epomaker. To be more precise, it’s the Magcore 87 model, a compact TKL board that originated in China. Epomaker is an exciting manufacturer, mainly because they offer a wide range of keyboards in the mid-price segment. What immediately [...]
There are many thermal conductive pastes – good ones, bad ones and then there are those from GD. Today in the test: two products that could hardly be more different at first glance, but ultimately share a sad and common fate – they perform underground. We are talking about the GD900 and the GD-2, two pastes from “GD High [...]
The Edifier Luna Eclipse E25HD active 2.0 stereo speakers have been on the market for a number of years and have been particularly appreciated for their combination of extravagant design and sonic performance in the desktop sector. In an earlier review of mine – published almost exactly 8 years ago – they were evaluated in combination [...]
The OBSBOT Tail 2 is a specialized PTZR camera that clearly distinguishes itself from classic webcams or compact vlogging cameras. It is aimed at users who are looking for an AI-supported, network-compatible video solution with professional standards – for high-quality live streams, event documentation or complex multi-camera setups, for [...]
The mysterious “gel” on Gigabyte’s new graphics cards – analysis instead of alarmism Today’s article is dedicated to a topic that has attracted a lot of attention in recent days: the so-called “Thermal Conductive Gel” that Gigabyte uses on its current graphics card models and the accusation that this [...]
In today’s Sharkoon roundup, we take a compact look at three of the manufacturer’s current keyboard models, which are aimed in particular at price-conscious users with high demands. The focus here is on functionality, customizability and workmanship – from the fully transparent Crystal Shark to the feature-rich SKILLER SGK25 and [...]
