Without fail, every single one of my kids has picked up the HyperX Clutch Wireless while I’ve been reviewing it, thinking that it was an Xbox One controller. The resemblance is uncanny, and while you could debate whether or not imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery, it’s…

Note: Though this is nominally a “for Xbox” headset, it works with PlayStation, Nintendo and PC devices just fine. I’ve even hooked it up to my emulation devices and had a great time. If you look at the Arctis Nova Pro For Xbox website, you’re going to get bamboozled with…

If you think of a Corsair HS55 as a general-purpose, all-day working and gaming tool, it’s hard to be disappointed by it. It’s certainly not a premium headset, but I can see so many uses for this, and indeed I find myself reaching for it more than any of the…

Maono is very much a new kid on the block. This Chinese-based sound equipment manufacturer only began operations back in 2014, but if the Maonocaster E2 A is anything to go by, this company is going to turn some heads. With this incredibly affordable, robust, and versatile combination of production…

Hardware review by Alex Kidman. Blaze’s followup console to the Evercade is a collector’s delight – but also a very good way to legitimately trawl through gaming’s history. There’s a problem with retro gaming. No, I’m not talking the folks that want to convince you that a copy of Mario…

My Powkiddy X18S arrived today. Touted as the first in the “new generation” of handheld emulation consoles out of China, the device’s more powerful chipset means that consoles that previous devices struggled with (think N64, Dreamcast, PSP and DS) are now within reach. On first impressions the console does indeed…

I’ve got around a dozen retro emulation consoles now (if not more… I’ve stopped counting). This became a hobby for me through the last two years of lockdowns and border closures, and I’ve derived a great deal of enjoyment from them. I’m always (very) quick to support legitimate efforts to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Grammarly, that Web application that keeps an eye on your typing for you, tells me that I write around 120,000 words per week. Given that I work seven days per week, that works out at around 17,150 words per day. Yes, that is a lot, and…
