It’s ASUS time again. I know that I write a lot about ASUS products. But that’s not because I like ASUS so much, but because ASUS gets in touch with me and allows me to test their products. I’ll come back to this topic at the very end. Now let’s take a look at the ASUS ROG Harpe ACE Aim Lab Edition that I’ve already [...]

I had actually planned to use something other than the EMEET SmartCam S800 to monitor the TIMA5, but after my Logitech C930e webcam had been driving me up the wall since I bought it due to the poor quality of the picture and sound, this time it really was time and I first converted the desktop. Then I thought that was it. But after just one day, I [...]
When it comes to keyboards, there are various preferences, starting with simple things like with or without cables and ending with the color. For this reason, the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile in particular is in many places only something for lovers of 65 percent keyboards who can also cope with low profile keycaps. What’s more, this [...]
As I myself often have “back pain” due to my long periods of sitting in the office and laboratory, I am very well sensitized to the Fractal Refine test, as I completely changed my seating two years ago for precisely these painful reasons. Physically painful, because I suffered from shortened muscles due to the constant sitting, and [...]
If you can pair excellent headphones with a good microphone without creating a fixed headset, thus remaining flexible in use and still easily outperforming most gaming headsets in terms of sound even without software ballast, then the manufacturer has done everything right. Meze Audio pairs the popular Meze 99 Classics from 2015 with a really good [...]
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless is a versatile mid-range gaming headset currently priced at around 120 euros, which impresses above all with its extensive software support and acceptable sound quality. It offers a decent battery life of up to 60 hours, making it a solid choice for long gaming sessions. The audio quality of the headset is [...]
The world of anime and manga continues to grow and the community here is also growing steadily. Even if some people like it and others don’t, everyone has probably watched an anime as a child. Be it Sailor Moon, Dragonball or, for today’s article, Naruto. And for those who can’t relate to it: Anime is a Japanese style of [...]
I remember my student days in Dresden, when I used to drive up the hill behind Gorbitz with an old Soviet Junost suitcase TV, a heavy 12V car battery, a crate of beer, a barbecue and other bits and bobs together with friends in a Trabi station wagon, whenever there was an international soccer match on in the warm season, which of course could not [...]
With this review of the Edifier MR4 Studio Monitor, I’m fulfilling the wishes of those who have repeatedly asked. With prices currently under 100 euros, you can’t really go wrong as long as the user profile is right, because they are anything but gimmicky roaring cubes or colorful plastic tubes with childish LED pacifiers. Minimalism [...]
With the TC500 LUXE, Corsair aims to close the wide gap between gaming chairs with a racing seat design and expensive high-end office chairs. During the design process, the focus was on comfort and flexibility and you can read in the test whether the chair covered in breathable fabric can do more than just be comfortable. While Corsair’s [...]
Since my focus is now on monitors, I unfortunately don’t have the time for my favorite topic: end-to-end latency. But then BenQ approached me – with the request that I should take a look at the new Zowie U2. BenQ and mice, I was surprised at first, because BenQ wasn’t even on my radar here. Did you know that BenQ sells mice? That [...]
It’s been a few moons since I’ve looked at a keyboard. This is mainly due to the fact that I generally value low-profile keyboards. Not in the sense of a Corsair K100 with a laptop-thin design, but in the sense of the well-known Sharkoon PureWriter RGB or the TKL version of the PureWriter. See the article from 2017: Sharkoon PureWriter [...]
Even though today is primarily about the Insta360 Flow, I also have to explain in detail why I now bitterly regret buying the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and have found a much better alternative for my purpose. I bought the DJI gimbal for Computex last year and cursed it the day after I bought the microphone. Along with all the influencing YouTubers, none [...]
With the HECATE brand and the GX05, Edifier is once again trying its hand at gaming accessories and without wanting to spoil too much: It succeeds with an acceptable result, otherwise I hadn’t written anything either and sent the parts back. Sometimes you have to take time out of your private life to play around with gadgets that you come [...]
Today’s test of the two BOYA dual channel wireless lavalier microphones BY XM6 S6 (USB-C) and BY XM6 S4/K4 (Lightning) has a very personal background and even a longer history. I will now briefly introduce this, as it is also a longer practical test. The only difference between the K4 and the S4 is the additional charging cradle [...]
I’m writing today’s editorial because I was annoyed yesterday by an email whose impertinence is hard to top. It’s not about the manufacturer and their products, which are probably okay. It’s about the way this company, through its PR department, insults media and testers. You might think that the modern work world already [...]
Don’t touch it! Anyone who works with a multi-monitor setup or has had the pleasure of setting one up will be familiar with the situation – once you’ve accidentally touched it, days of adjustment are a waste of time. Read on to find out how to prevent this situation. When I was asked some time ago whether I had the time and [...]
Another little “work brake” aimed directly at gamers! Yes, but this time I was definitely interested, because I finally got my hands on the new Cherry MX2A Red Switches. You can read in the test whether the traditional manufacturer is back on track, but you’ll have to be a little brave… Admittedly, Cherry’s switches [...]
After a long delay, the article on the new mice from NZXT is finally here. I teased them some time ago and have now finally found the time. Read on to find out what the two lightweight mice have to offer. This review wasn’t actually planned as a separate article, but as is the case when I really get to grips with a product, there was [...]
If you’re into custom keyboards, you’ll come across them sooner or later: The infamous “Holy Panda” switches. Corsair made these switches available as part of the K65 Plus review and, after some delay, we are now finally able to test them. Some products have a reputation that precedes them. This is also the case with the [...]
With the Function 2 series, NZXT has given its mechanical keyboards an extensive makeover. Adjustable optical switches, PBT keycaps and 8000Hz polling are just the tip of the iceberg. Read our test to find out how the bolides perform in everyday use. First of all, I would like to briefly mention that the mice from NZXT have also received an [...]
With the K65 Plus Wireless, Corsair is taking the next step towards custom keyboards. PBT keycaps, interchangeable switches and the now common 75% layout are the ingredients of choice to gain a foothold in the highly competitive market. Read the test to find out whether they succeed. And yet another small keyboard that wants to torment me in [...]
Yesterday I already documented in great detail and above all in practical terms the negative impact that ground loops can have in the PC and what this means for the individual ground paths. If you haven’t read this article yet, you should perhaps catch up on it quickly for a better understanding, because it explains a lot of things that [...]
With the FiiO EM5, I am testing earbuds today that are a little out of the ordinary. My thanks first go to the community for sending me the test sample, because the FiiO EM5 headphones are a very exciting product for audiophiles and music lovers who are looking for an exceptional listening experience. But before we dedicate ourselves to testing [...]
With the SGK50 S3, SHARKOON is expanding its portfolio with another compact keyboard that is not only fully hotswappable, but also compatible with the open-source QMK/VIA software. Read on to find out whether the keyboard, which is available in several versions, is convincing. It’s no longer a secret that I have my problems with keyboards [...]
