Here, high-quality technology meets a well thought-out design in which every detail is tailored to functionality and aesthetics. Whether [...]

With the release of the Dark Mount and Light Mount keyboards, be quiet! is expanding its portfolio into the area of gaming peripherals for the first time. This step comes at a time when the market seems saturated, but at the same time is open to new approaches – especially with regard to noise reduction and modularity. be quiet! is making [...]
We recently published a detailed review of the Liv Plus Onyx White Wireless. Now it’s time to put its two more compact siblings in the spotlight – in this short article, we’ll take a closer look at them. There are a few differences compared to the Liv Plus. However, there are no differences in terms of appearance, design or [...]
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. The device combines a housing made entirely of aluminum with a functional but well thought-out design. Particularly striking are the magnetic switches [...]
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. After the Capsule Elite microphone recently flexed its muscles, we now want to put the new keyboard through its paces. You can read how the Elite Gear performs in the test. Custom keyboards are booming and are moving from their niche existence more and [...]
Welcome to the world of real sound – without hocus-pocus, without acoustic fortune-telling. The Fosi Audio K7 is made for a very special species: the audiophile gamer. 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 [...]
The ALC5686 is a highly integrated USB audio CODEC specifically designed for high-quality USB Type-C headphones and related audio devices such as USB to 3.5mm audio jack adapters. The chip is characterized by its versatility and powerful audio features, making it an ideal choice for modern audio applications. As there have been many questions [...]
I’ve been using a camera-based Govee solution since I put my LG OLED on my desktop and yet I’ve never been happy with it. However, the Philips retrofit option is too expensive and the first Govee Sync Box was a technical disaster. The second generation of the Govee AI Sync Box now brings noticeable improvements based on user feedback [...]
Anyone who works in an office has probably seen a height-adjustable desk or even uses one every day. I myself have only ever used one at work and at home I’ve only used the cheapest one that was available many years ago. Basically, it’s enough to do something for an hour or two, but since corona, the topic of working from home has come [...]
Powercolor has been offering the Alphyn AH10 gaming headset, another item from its peripherals portfolio, since 4 p.m. yesterday, which is not a bad idea per se. It is only logical that manufacturers like Powercolor are trying to become a full-range gaming supplier and take advantage of the affinity of graphics card buyers for other products [...]
The Corsair Virtuoso Max tested today is a wireless gaming headset equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) and Dolby Atmos. It offers simultaneous use of 2.4 GHz radio and Bluetooth, which enables flexible connection to different devices. The battery life is up to 60 hours, with a quick-charge function providing six hours of playtime after [...]
Imagine the following: You’re sitting on the couch, sunk deep into the cushions, a contented couch potato in the best sense of the word. No uncomfortable office, no hard chairs – just the comfort of your own living room and the glory of a huge 77″ OLED screen with cozy Ambilight. In this scenario, the Couchmaster CYCON³ from [...]
The difference between the Unicomp Model M and a current gaming keyboard is exactly where? Well, the Unicomp Model M focuses on working reliably for decades, rather than flashing colorful lights that look like a disco to disguise a lack of quality. In addition, the Unicomp Model M keyboard has an interesting and varied history dating back to the [...]
I’m going poaching for noname devices today and have bought the KC-KVM8201 8K KVM switch from the big river for the test systems. This is a useful device for users like me who want to control multiple computers with a single set of monitor, keyboard and mouse. This KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz (ok [...]
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 [...]
Introduction and scope of delivery For as long as I have known keyboards, I have always used keyboards that are 100% full-size. The advantage is obvious to me, because having all the keys in the same position is practically a customary right. It will be all the more exciting to use the SKG50 S20 PBT2, which does not use the 100% layout, but only a [...]
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 [...]
