“To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer,” says the marketing gumph for the company’s first artisan keycap. I’ve read a lot of ambitious press releases in this job, but that’s definitely the strangest sentence I’ve parsed this year. That being said, I…
Linux gaming has been rumbling along in the background for some time.

But as someone who grew up firmly in the 3D fighting game scene (and continues to dwell there) and traditionally doesn’t care much for superheroes…
First, let me admit my biases: Yes, this controller’s raspberry ripple blend of pink, blue, and purple really does work for me. That said, the GameSir T7 Pro Sugar Whirl has more going for it than just pretty face buttons, featuring TMR sticks alongside Hall effect triggers. Gorgeous and precise, this is also a wireless…
“Launching this holiday season or Early 2027”. If you’ve been reading this site for a while, you’ll no doubt be aware that I have a particular fondness for Computer Exchange, otherwise known as CeX.

One of the unexpected stories this week has been that of a rather public spat between former Saber Interactive writer Stella Sacco, who claimed she was replaced in favour of AI, and the publisher’s CEO, who tore into her via a statement sent to This Week in Videogames. “Stella who?” asked Matt Karch, “I had…
