Do you know how long it’s been since we first saw the advent of the humble gaming mouse? 26 years. That’s when Razer first introduced its odd-looking Boomslang for us all to see. Back in a world of ball mice and PS/2 connections, of Microsoft IntelliMouse designs and cruddy free deskpads, the very concept of…
General comfort, physical disabilities, health problems, airconditioner proximity, chance of dog love, potential snuggles, and ability to snack.

If you’re dead-set on owning an Intel system and have a Core Ultra 200-series Arrow Lake processor in your sights, as well as a Mini-ITX case, then ASRock has not one, but three motherboards vying for your attention. The Phantom Gaming B860I Lightning Wi-Fi we’re looking at here is the middle of the three in…
