With the growth of online gaming, and the increased exposure through wider audiences sitting down and picking up a controller, or mouse and keyboad, one industry that's built up nicely in the past few years, is professional gaming. This has seen the first celebrities in that world begin to emerge, and unsurprisingly with it, product endorsement. Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel is probably the most well known to date, but there are lot of others on the up and up. Today we take a look at a product, part designed and endorsed by Emil "HeatoN" Christensen. It's the largest plastic mouse mat ever released, and its backed with QPad technology. Let's see how it fairs.
As all good companies do, SteelSeries have taken one of their existing products, and made a series of improvements, upgrades and enhancements. The original Siberia headset, already a success, did have a number of flaws; perhaps the most notable of all was the microphone. The V2 should be able to put all this right as well as a few other bits and pieces. So can the Siberia headset be transformed from a good headset to a great one? Let’s take a look...
Today we are going to look at the FireGlider Laser Gaming Mouse from Sharkoon which promises to impress even the most demanding gamers. It is about half the price of a lot of gaming mice on the market but we’ll soon see how its performance compares.
We review a lot of peripherals here at XSR, and over the years we've noticed the growing trend of steadily increasing prices with gaming mice costing upwards of £50 now. Still though, they aren't the most expensive input accessory you can use with your PC, with specialised keyboards getting close to the £100 mark.
Up on the review block today I’ve got a gaming headset from Zowie Gear called the Hammer. The Hammer is made for gaming specifically, and for gaming it works well, but if you’re looking for a headset that you can use for music and movies as well you might want to look elsewhere. The headset is nicely made with a large boom style microphone, long cables and even two types of ear pads are included.
Any music fan or anyone serious about their gaming will tell you that a decent set of headphones are an absolute necessity. Today I'm looking at the Xplosionn 5500, and at first glance it looks like a set of over the ear style headphones, with an added LCD for some strange reason. Looking closer though you'll find that it is in fact an mp3 player built into a set of headphones, so let's find out more about this hybrid.
The Reveal is for AT&T and it’s considered a messaging phone, it features a full slide out QWERTY keyboard and a regular dialer keypad as well. It’s got a 1.3MP camera in it, along with bluetooth, AT&T navigator and access to most all other stuff on the AT&T network as well. It’s not a smartphone by any means, but it resembles one. One of the nice features of the Reveal is that both keyboards are active at the same time so basically you’ve got a full QWERTY keyboard with a separate numeric keypad as well, so there’s no pushing a function button to access numbers.
It doesn't require a music-prodigy to appreciate good music on a nice set of speakers. But how can the average Joe distinguish a nice set of speakers from manufactured junk? Does the presence of a subwoofer, multiple speakers or a list of features guarantee a set will be high quality? Or can you be assured good performance by sticking to name-brands? At Benchmark Reviews we reviewed the Eagle Arion ET-AR504LR-BK 2.1 Soundstage Speakers using some objective, repeatable tests. These tests helped screen the important factors from the insignificant.
The SilverStone Raven 3200DPI Gaming Mouse is one of those mice that has absolutely killer looks and quite honestly looks like the mouse Darth Vader would use. Its namesake alone might even get The Crow to stop whining about loss and despair and use a computer for online dating or something.
Coolermaster is a name that will be instantly recognisable to most hardware fans, being a longstanding big player in the case, psu and cooling market. This time round though we will be trying out something a little bit different from Coolermaster, their range of CM Storm mouse mats aimed at the gaming market.
