With today’s article, I ventured into a segment of the keyboard market that I’ve tended to avoid. Since I’ve always had a bit of a hard time with the lack of a numpad on many notebooks and TKL keyboards, the jump from fullsize to a 60% layout is a big one. In the following review, you can find out how the tiny device could do in [...]

Anyone who spends a lot of time in a home office knows the dilemma: one computer for work, one computer for private use, both with monitors and peripherals, but both somehow have to be on the same desk. Chaos ensues, ergonomics and productivity suffer. The remedy is a KVM switch. We’ll take a look at what that is and what an implementation [...]
The Nerdytech Couchmaster Cycon 2 is the successor of the first version since the end of last year and Nerdytech must have taken up the feedback on the previously released products, because there are only a few points of criticism. Now it’s not like I realize every test request immediately and euphorically, because it is as always also a [...]
That you can expect a good price/performance from this manufacturer has already been shown in past articles about Sharkoon peripherals. But how much mouse can you expect for under 10 euros? The answer to these and other questions can be found in the following article: Packaging and scope of delivery Externally, there is nothing special to see at [...]
As I mentioned in the basic article on what to know about computer mice, today is the dedicated review of my top mouse recommendation for the rather slim penny! Yes, I’m aware that this is another mouse review, but at least it describes a product that you can currently buy and get for a very good price. Which is more than you can say for a [...]
With the Skiller Mech SGK30, Sharkoon wanted to bring a mechanical keyboard for gamers to the market, which can be classified in the popular “good and cheap” segment. And if the sales charts of the comparison portals are to be believed, then not only has this goal been achieved, but also the number 1 position of the most popular item [...]
Whoever wants to buy a mouse today is bombarded by the manufacturers with a lot of terms. Here, the market is courted with up to 16,000 DPI, 4000 Hz polling rate, mouse acceleration, Omron switches, ultra-light, PTFE, RGB and much more. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time, or even the desire to look around before buying a mouse. Fact is, if [...]
With or without a subwoofer, caught up in nuances and the desire to cut the most tonally clean video possible. And no, I chose the headline with the question of whether the Nubert nuPro X-3000 RC or the nuPro X-4000 RC would do the trick, again anything but by chance, because actually, as with the first test, I wanted a treat for both: precise [...]
Matching the recently reviewed Roccat Vulcan Pro keyboard, there is also the Burst Pro mouse, which also relies on an optical trigger mechanism. You can find out how the lightweight did in the longer everyday test in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The cardboard box of the mouse is in the same design as the matching [...]
In order to test something different between all the coolers, I switched from my tried and true keyboard with Cherry MX Red to the new flagship from Roccat with optical switches for a month. Whether it can stay and how it does in the test, you will find out in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The version with German QWERTZ [...]
The Shure Aonic 50 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and is said to offer studio quality. At various retailers you can buy this headset for around 300 Euro. The RRP of Shure is 369 Euro, but a look at the website shows that the RRP has been lowered to 319 Euro. Scope of delivery The package includes the headphones, a [...]
What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
I’ll write out the product name once (almost) in full: S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10 MKII AK4493 HiFi 768KHz 32Bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder, then for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call the thing Sanskrit 10th MKII. The name with the 10-year anniversary has allowed itself the manufacturer to exactly this anniversary. I was intrigued by [...]
The fact that the small mobile DACs and headphone amplifiers cannot keep up with stationary devices should be well known due to their size and the associated technical limitations. But since I own some Beyerdynamic headphones myself as well as the A20 as a headphone amplifier, I was quite curious about the comparison. After all, they also [...]
I’ll admit, I struggled a little harder than usual this time. Because on the one hand, 249 euros as a price for a keyboard is already a fat chunk and on the other hand, as a frequent writer, I am rather the category MX Blue, so tactile pointy clicker and not a pushing through tempo sinner. But – it is a kind of halo product and at the [...]
The latest USB podcast microphone from Blue is called Yeti X and is a 4-condenser microphone, which is currently available in the standard version for around 135 euros from various retailers. The biggest innovation with this microphone is that it can be customized using Logitech’s G-Hub software. This has never been possible with any Blue [...]
Introduction and specifications Ergonomics at the workplace and especially in the home office are often underestimated, but are becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s about preventing postural pain or simply being able to work more efficiently, it’s essential to perfectly adjust peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard and [...]
The Qatar Pro Wireless is a brand new wireless gaming mouse from Corsair, so far so good. But with it Corsair is now trying to enter the middle class of wireless rodents, which seems quite interesting. It can be found online for about 50 Euro (on the homepage for 45 Euro RRP) and therefore competes directly with the Logitech G305 and the [...]
The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is the latest keyboard from Corsair’s K60 series and I’m interested in this keyboard, I honestly admit, especially the built-in switch. This is because the K60 RGB Pro is one of the first keyboards on the market to use the new Cherry Viola switches. But there will be more details on this later. The K60 RGB Pro [...]
The Makalu 67 is a lightweight wired gaming mouse with RGB lighting and the new PixArt PAW 3370 sensor. After using only ultra-light mice for over a year now, I don’t get along so well with mice weighing more than 90 grams anymore. And when I heard about the Mountain Makalu 67 I was very curious very quickly. Because the company Mountain is [...]
