ROCCAT has no zero chill, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This brand has been pumping out new, quality products at an astounding rate. They appear to be continually honing their craft, listening to user feedback, and making design improvements constantly. This is helping them bolster their reputation as one of the top PC accessory brands across the globe. These days, little makes us as excited as the prospect of a new ROCCAT accessory to test. Today's gem is the ROCCAT Torch studio-grade USB microphone. Let's dive right in!

Razer recently released the second generation of their wireless earbuds, the Razer Hammerhead. These earbuds aim to combine the function of a high-quality audio experience with the gamer chic style that Razer is so well known for. The Hammerhead Gen 2's are priced at a little over half of the Apple AirPods' retail price, so it is clear that they are trying to make a serious play at this market. That is all well and good, but how do they truly fare when put to the test? Let's dive in and take a look!

Razer recently released a comprehensive line of keyboard accessory sets, allowing you to fully customize the look and feel of your Razer keyboard. These kits come in four different colours and the black and white are available both in Phantom and PBT sets. All of these kits are compatible with Razer's Mini, Tenkeyless and Full-Size keyboards, mechanical or optical. We received Phantom Keycap upgrade sets, PBT Keycaps & matching coil sets, as well as wrist rests for testing.

A few weeks ago, my wife was coming off one of her shifts at Best Buy Canada and gave me a quick call on the phone. "You think the kids would like a programmable robot?" A few minutes later, I was unboxing the Sphero Mini, charging the device, and linking up various devices in our home to act as controllers for the robot.

Lucid Audio products have always been some of the better products on the market, and like many headset manufacturers in 2021, they realize that gamers are looking for affordability and quality in one package. So many attempt at creating this balance and releasing a solid product into the marketplace, but so few achieve what they actually set out to do (or purposefully don't). Not with Lucid. After taking the LS10X for a spin for over a month, I'm happy to report that for 59.99 USD, you get an excellent, audio product.

Turtle Beach has long been the biggest name in gaming console headsets and accessories. The latest Recon Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10 is a shining example of how they earned this reputation. The Recon Controller strikes a superb balance between simple design and quality of life features that we are very excited about. Without further ado let's dive right in and take a closer look at Turtle Beach's Recon Controller!

The latest gaming headset from ROCCAT, Turtle Beach's PC accessory brand, represents a serious step forward into the mid-high end headset market with the ROCCAT Syn Pro Air. It seems that they have used the previous 'Elo' series to springboard into the higher-end market. And let me tell you, the Syn Pro Air makes an impressive splash. Aside from a few minor hiccups along the way, our extensive testing found almost nothing that would make us shy away from recommending the latest ROCCAT wireless headset, the Syn Pro Air.

The concept and importance of STEM - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - is becoming increasingly more popular year over year, and parents are clamouring to find the latest and greatest STEM products, camps, and more for their kids. So many companies now advertise STEM friendly activities for kids, but in my home, we've found that most of these companies are profiting off the philosophy, as opposed to actually providing engaging, STEM products. Our kids are currently using the SPHERO MINI set, and we've been more impressed with that product ...

Razer recently released the Razer Opus X headphones, which are a more affordable version of last year's release, Opus. The Opus X headphones hit the market at roughly half the cost of the former model, and are extremely similar with only a couple differences. While not solely targeted towards gamers, the Opus X does feature a low-latency 'Gaming Mode' that ensures there is minimal lag for in-game sounds. Anyone who has tried to use a pair of all-purpose headphones for gaming knows just how big of a deal that really is. At half the price of their predecessor, ...

Let's not even bury the lead - this thing is fantastic!
