Review by Matt S. Are fitness bands mainstream yet, or are they still the kind of hipster toy that you see people wearing, but just know they have no idea how to use the thing? It’s a difficult question, because every single mobile hardware manufacturer seems to be producing them, but I…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Something about the Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard clicked with me almost the moment I took it out of the box. It feels sturdy, looks sharp and keys immediately felt good and tactile. The form is definitely there, but the function is even more…
