Ballistix Sport AT DDR4-3200 2x16GB Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2020-01-28 read/post comments(0)

The Sport AT 32GB kit from Ballistix can deliver good performance and compatibility out of the box, while the XMP profiles are guaranteed on both Intel and AMD systems. This particular model was made to fit in with the ASUS TUF Gaming Alliance color scheme and this means that we are dealing with a pretty futuristic-looking heat-spreader; no RGB lighting is available with this kit though! By keeping the stock timings and voltage, we could squeeze even more performance out of it by overclocking to 3466MHz. read more

Dream Machines DM4 EVO Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-01-22 read/post comments(0)

After adjusting the DM4 EVO with our own preferences, we fired up Mass Effect: Andromeda, Beyond: Two Souls, Borderlands 3 and CounterStrike: Global Offensive: the PixArt 3389 sensor did track reliably at all times without any extra acceleration and thanks to the textured plastic chassis, the overall grip is pretty good. We did use the mouse with a claw grip and found the lateral buttons easy accessible; the same HUANO buttons as on the DM5 Blink are pleasant to actuate and are also quite reliable. read more

Razer Kraken Ultimate Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2020-01-16 read/post comments(0)

Right after connecting the Kraken Ultimate to our testing PC and trying out some games and 4K TV Shows, we have found the headset lacking bass and overall it was not giving out very much audio detail. After adjusting the output details via Synapse software (Bass Boost, EQ settings, etc), the difference was very noticeable and it was like we were wearing a complete different headset in our hands. Thanks to the large, custom-tuned 50mm drivers, explosions and weapon noises were well represented in CS: GO, car noises were correctly rendered in Forza Horizon 4, while the Witcher TV show atmosphere and voices could really make us think that we were present in a cinema chair, especially after turning THX… read more

Silicon Power Mobile C10 Type C USB 3.1 Gen1 Flash Drive Review

The compactness of the Mobile C10 drive is appreciated and thanks to this aspect it is really easy to carry it around. Silicon Power has opted for an integrated protective cover as well, so the connector won’t get damaged in time and the product will be detected without issues by Android devices that do support external OTG storage devices. read more

CORSAIR K95 RGB PLATINUM XT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-01-06 read/post comments(0)

Since our preferred driver is the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile keyboard with MX Speed switches, we felt right at home with the K95 RGB PLATINUM XT so no extra training period was necessary. MX Speed is great for competitive gaming titles since it can deliver very fast response times thanks to the 1.2mm actuation distance, while the actuation force is only 45g but in case of regular typing such as writing large articles it gets a bit tricky if you are constantly switching from Speed to Red, Brown or other types of switches. This last model does bring to the table all the goodies it had with the previous models and also adds integration with Elgato Stream Deck software… read more
