Fosi Audio responded to the early feedback from the first reviews of the i5 and made a targeted modification to remedy the criticized loss of sub-bass. I was in contact with Fosi for some time and found it very positive how they dealt with the justified objections. An official statement now reads: “Fosi Audio has already addressed the sub [...]

Fractal is breaking new ground with the Scape, at least if you look at the Swedish company’s previous product categories. The brand became known for its high-quality, minimalist PC cases and components with functional design aspirations. But now the Scape is the first serious attempt to gain a foothold in the audio segment. And yes, it is a [...]
For more than three decades, Beyerdynamic has been part of my permanent inventory in the high-end headphone segment, not as a distanced tester, but as a paying enthusiast who appreciated the products in daily use. Over the years, I developed personal contacts with engineers in the development team, whose technical meticulousness and openness [...]

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.

We have started to build up a comprehensive latency database for input devices, which is intended to make systematically measurable differences between individual models transparent. We are starting with wired mice, which were measured under identical test conditions. The tests are based on NVIDIA’s second-generation LDAT (Latency Display [...]
Today’s article focuses on measuring mouse latency with the aim of significantly expanding our existing database and providing a sound basis for comparison in the future. The survey was carried out exclusively under practical conditions for gaming use – Bluetooth connections were therefore deliberately omitted. These are not suitable [...]
With the i5, Fosi Audio is entering the planar magnetostat segment for the first time, targeting discerning listeners who are looking for high impulse fidelity and detailed reproduction at a moderate price.

The new be quiet! keyboard certainly sets standards in terms of versatility and should particularly inspire those who are looking for a highly customizable and flexible board and are equipped with enough small change. Whether for everyday office use, where numerous multifunctional features are required, or for gamers who want to benefit from the [...]
Before the curtain falls this afternoon at around 1 p.m. on a product launch that has so far been kept top secret, this news item provides a fitting prelude – a journalistic warm-up that shortens the waiting time, lifts the spirits and draws attention to the absurdities of a policy whose consequences can be measured not in percentage points [...]

What actually makes a good gaming mouse? Light weight, precision, clear feedback from the buttons, high rigidity and a very fast sensor. It should also sit comfortably in the hand. These characteristics have been combined quite well here and Endorfy shows in a very impressive way how they have implemented these requirements. Unboxing and scope of [...]
Raijintek, previously known primarily for cases, cooling solutions and accessories in the PC sector, is expanding its portfolio with a first mechanical keyboard that definitely deserves attention.

Déjà vu: After a long delay, the article on the new Lift Elite Wireless Mouse from NZXT is finally here. I’ve had it on my desk since Christmas and now I’ve finally found the time to put it through its paces. Read on to find out what this lightweight mouse has to offer. This review wasn’t actually planned as a separate article [...]
Since we recently published a basic article on custom-made keyboards and the response was very positive, it seems to be time to get down to business after so much theory. Today we’re going to be talking about the switch lifting process, and we’ll do the stabilizers next week. So let’s start with the switches. Why do we actually [...]
I’m finally getting around to testing the premium versions of NZXT’s input devices.

Someone who doesn’t value artificial 3D sound reinforcement and doesn’t believe that they can hear their opponent before their mother has even reached puberty [...]
It is the keyboard that we have been waiting a long time for – not because there are no other wireless mechanical keyboards, but because Ducky has simply taken the time to build one that meets its own standards. The One X Wireless is therefore neither a quick fix nor a half-baked experiment, but a consistent further development of the [...]
You might think that such a keyboard is ONLY an object of utility, a tool for entering text, not worth mentioning. But far from it! There is a world beyond the standardized plastic boards off the shelf, a world in which mechanics, aesthetics and haptic perfection form an almost philosophical connection – the world of custom keyboards. And [...]
With the Elite version, NZXT has now also raised the quality level of the popular Capsule USB microphone. However, as the price of its predecessor has been undercut at the same time, the question must be asked as to whether the performance has fallen victim to the red pencil. You can find the answer in the test! Okay, admittedly… the NZXT [...]
