As one of PC Gamer’s hardware writers and reviewers, I handle a lot of different PC parts. But there’s one part in particular that manages to irk me every time I use one. I’m referring to M.2 SSDs. In fact, I hate them. They have so many unnecessary drawbacks. I’ll admit the form factor is…
When the bossman asked the PC Gamer hardware team to select our personal picks for hardware of the year, I thought about it, and then thought about it some more. As a reviewer that covers a lot of components, my shortlist came down to five items. The Intel Core i5 14600K, Nvidia RTX 4070, ASRock…
If I’m being entirely honest I found 2023 a largely uninspiring year on the whole. Innovation was in short supply, with the expected and the iterative making up the majority of the year’s hardware releases.

World of Warcraft: The Worldsoul Saga was officially announced at this year’s BlizzCon, along with the trilogy of expansions that will be contained within it.

The humble gaming keyboard is no longer quite so humble. We’ve come a long way from the bad old days of nought but rubber dome switches as far as the eye could see, or single colour LED backlights, or complete Cherry switch dominance. Today sees a vibrant keyboard market that has seen high-end mechanical switches become…
When Baldur’s Gate 3 bumped up its PC release date to avoid Starfield, it didn’t occur to me that Starfield was the game that should be worried. Wes was the most prescient among us at PC Gamer, wondering at the time if Baldur’s Gate 3 would be so good that Starfield would suffer from the…
When you buy a new gaming mouse you’re likely to stick with it for a very long time. I review these things for a living and I’ve stuck with the same shape Logitech mouse for years now. Creature of habit, I guess. That’s why it’s of the utmost important (utmost!) that you pick the right…
