Squint hard enough, and the AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini x B.Duck Limited Edition looks like a Chocobo limited edition. That was a good enough reason for me to buy one. It’s actually my first AYANEO device, and I can certainly see the appeal of them, sitting in the growing pool of “Anbernic/Retroid Pocket but premium” category for emulation consoles. I…

Read MoreTradespeople have their power tools, and become very attached to the equipment that supports their livelihood. Athletes have their preferred racquet, shoe and clothing brand, for the comfort and competitive advantage the right gear can provide. As a writer, I am always on the lookout for a keyboard that is…

Read MoreThe SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is a good headset.
