There’s a tradeoff that comes with gaming headsets that are labelled ‘lightweight’ or ‘breathable’. In order to get those low weights, they often have to do away with some of the rigidity you might traditionally expect, and this can lead to them feeling flimsy. Logitech’s G522 Lightspeed is almost certainly a lightweight breathable headset, but…
I’m writing about cryptocurrency again, which means bitcoin’s either gone massively up in value, or it’s in the middle of a, err, “significant downturn.” Well whaddaya know, it’s the latter. The world’s most headline-friendly cryptocurrency dropped in value below $70,000 per coin on Thursday for the first time since 2024, with its losses overall this…
PC hardware YouTube channel der8auer has posted a video covering “surging” copper prices and explaining the potential impact on PC hardware. And it’s not good, peeps. Roman Hartung who fronts the der8auer channel is also CEO of PC cooling specialist Thermal Grizzly. In that capacity, he’s directly involved in buying 12 mm thick copper plates…
It’s the dead of winter right now, but brighter days are coming. June 7, specifically, when the PC Gaming Show returns to bathe you all in its warm, comforting light. Put your shades on so you don’t damage your eyes when you bear witness to all the unannounced PC games, interviews with passionate developers, and…
The original Audeze Maxwell has been around for nearly three years, but there’s still been nothing to beat it when it comes to being the best wireless audiophile headset for gaming. With the Maxwell 2, though, Audeze is hoping that it will do exactly that and be the new champion for peerless audio in games….
I’m of two minds about difficult games like Nioh 3—one mind thinks that difficulty’s a matter of accessibility, that there’s really no harm in adding a setting so that someone (for any reason) is able to see a game through. The other half of me thinks that difficulty’s often kind of the point, and can…
After a couple of delays you might have heard about, Grand Theft Auto 6 is still scheduled for a November 19 release date on consoles, which will be music to the ears of anyone with a few million bucks in Take-Two stock (that’s most of you, I assume). Still, maybe you’re a bit yippy, and…
The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, I believe, could genuinely upend the gaming mouse market thanks to its use of induction tech. That tech allows for rapid trigger and adjustable actuation—just like Hall effect does for keyboard, which massively reduces the time between you deciding to click and that on-screen gun firing. Though the Superstrike…
Burn-in is the one big worry with OLED monitors. But evidence that it shouldn’t be a dealer breaker for gamers is approaching critical mass thanks to another long-term assessment released today. YouTube channel Optimum has been using a 32-inch 4K LG WOLED monitor for around 3,000 hours over two years and has found only minor…
Analogue tech has been one of the very few genuine game changers for gaming peripherals, whether in the form of optical, Hall effect, TMR, or most recently, induction switches. Until now, however, this has primarily been reserved for your controller’s joysticks or your gaming keyboards. Logitech’s X2 Superstrike is the first serious effort to bring…
