Overclockers are one of the biggest re-sellers in the UK, but not content with just being a big name, they need BIG products. Something they seem to be addressing with the colossal 3XL Elite gaming surface. All other mouse mats are simply, smaller.
When it comes to gaming its important to have the right kind of surface for your mouse, not only in terms of how much performance you can get from your peripheral, as it is equally important that it feels right for you personally. Some people prefer the softer and thicker surface, where as I personally prefer the glide happy surface of a tough cloth surface. The point of this being there is no surface that is better or worse than the other, its all just personal taste.
The 3XL falls somewhere between the two, offering a soft surface that should double as a good wrist rest but still have a durable surface that should provide ample glide and durability. So lets move on and see what Overclockers UK have to offer us with the 3XL

If you are using a mouse to browse this website and read this review then you're probably aware of how important an appropriate surface for your mouse can be. A good mousemat can be incredibly important if you're using a high DPI mouse as well. Every gamer knows the frustration of missing a vital headshot because their mouse wouldn't move as smoothly as it could have done.

Bluetooth is really starting to see resurgence now thanks in no small part to support from heavy hitters like Apple and Creative Labs with their latest products. But there also needs to be (and is) a good amount of third party support from companies like Arctic Sound to make this comeback totally successful.

During the past 3 years or so most gaming keyboards we've seen roll-out from the majority of the gaming peripheral manufacturers out there have been mechanical ones since they offer superior durability (build quality), much longer lifespan (key presses) and tactile feedback compared to regular membranes ones (or at least that's what the general opinion is). Of course one of the things i love about this industry is that there's always at least one manufacturer out there who likes to stand out from the others and do things quite differently and Mad Catz did exactly that with their S.T.R.I.K.E. line of gaming keyboards a while back since they went with a special membrane design instead. Well although i can't really say if that was the right choice or not (time will tell just how good these keyboards were) SteelSeries has also decided to launch two new membrane (rubber dome) based gaming keyboards the feature-rich APEX and the more "mainstream" APEX[RAW] and so today we will start with the APEX.

There is nothing quite like playing music loud on some nice powerful speakers with a thumping bass. Some days however you might just want to give your neighbours a break. Headphones have been around for a long time and for most of this time were nothing special. As things advanced communications via the computer became more common and as such people needed microphones. Soon afterwards we saw headsets which perform better than using speakers and a boom microphone sat on the desk – for hopefully obvious reasons. With a decent headset your friend on Skype will be able to hear every word however loud the music that you are playing into the headset is.

Le test du jour sera rapide. En effet, il est question aujourd’hui d’une souris que vous connaissez déjà puisqu’elle a déjà fait l’objet d’un test dans nos colonnes. Le problème, enfin dans les faits, ce n’est pas un problème, c’est que cette souris existe en plusieurs versions. Nous avions eu sous les doigts une Argon Ocelote World, version mise en avant par Carlos Rodriguez. En un mot, une bonne souris dont le rapport qualité-prix était excellent, comme souvent chez Ozone. De fait, voici venir aujourd’hui l’Argon tout court. Ce modèle ne révolutionne clairement pas l’Ocelote World, mais apporte quelques petites spécificités techniques supplémentaires.

Logitech is a brand that virtually every computer user and PC gamer knows and associates with quality products. While Logitech has a stronghold in the PC gaming market, their share in the console world is a bit smaller. The Wireless Headset F540 is ready to change that. The F540 is equipped to deliver game and voice audio wirelessly for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Featuring independent volume controls, 40mm laser-tuned drivers, audio inputs for up to three sources, a rechargeable battery, and great sound, the F540 aims to give console gamers a taste of what Logitech has provided PC gamers with for years.

Gaming mice are arguably the most important accessory for gamers no matter what level they play at, therefore getting the right mouse is vital. There are various different types of mice on the market aimed at different areas of gaming - from MMO-RPGs to first person shooters - although many higher-end mice now have configurable profiles which allow them to be optimised for both.
