When you play rhythm games, even a little bit of audio latency is a killer. That’s why, as a general rule, I only ever use wired headphones: the cable is a mild hassle worth suffering to ensure a proper game. But EPOS’ promise of a low latency connection on the …
I’ll admit: when I first saw GoDice, I was intrigued, but not entirely sold on the practicality of them. There’s certainly novelty in the idea of electronic dice that wirelessly, automatically transmit roll results to a tablet, but what is the practical benefit of this over simple analogue dice or …

Being the huge gremlin that I am, the first thing I did after firing up the Alienware m15 R7 was install Final Fantasy XIV. Not the most graphically demanding game to test a laptop that’ll run you a cool four grand, I know, but it’s also where I spend most …
Sound quality and comfort—skip past all the buzzwords and tech jargon, and that’s really what matters in a wireless headset. A quick and easy setup is useful, too, and battery life matters in a wireless set, but what it ultimately comes down to is: does it sound good, and is …
It’s probably a little weird to be writing a review of the Retroid Pocket 2+ a few days out from the release of the Pocket 3, but here I am. Such is the price of indecision, I guess—I’ve been eyeing up retro handhelds for a while, but with so many …
If I was lazy (or at least, lazier than I am), I’d review SteelSeries’ Aerox 5 Wireless mouse by simply saying it’s the Aerox version of last year’s Rival 5. I’m not quite so lazy that I’d submit that and call it a day, but it’s a decent summary: the …
The typical MMO mouse is a big, hefty thing. It’s not a genre that tends to demand such sites and precision that a few extra grams of mouse weight can make a difference, and when the design goal is “as many buttons we can possibly fit”, things get large. But …
The design of the SteelSeries Rival 5 mouse is, apparently, based on a chameleon. Its colour-changing lights—in response to in-game events, for some titles—are certainly part of this, but its most chameleonic qualities lie in its “multi-genre” appeal. Where a lot of gaming mice try to specialise, sticking dozens of …
For just about any other piece of software, “I’ve been using it for three months and I’ve barely even noticed its existence” would hardly be a compliment. But for an antivirus—those tools that are crucial, yet somehow always manage to be intrusive and annoying to the point that you wonder …
