Mountain Everest Max? Normally, it’s rare to hear anything good about products featured on Kickstarter and similar platforms. However, the small startup Mountain from Freiburg was not only able to raise enough money and even reach stretch goals, but also deliver in the end.

With the Sound Blaster GC7, Creative is primarily targeting streamers and gamers whose focus is on combining the best possible immersion with easy and convenient communication. So it’s more of an acoustic two-way street rather than a tonal one-way street for sound-loving nitpickers. I am fair enough to consider this principle and also the [...]
Finally a manufacturer has taken pity on itself to offer the SKILLER SGS2 Jr, a stable gaming chair for the target group between 6 and 15 years, which is on the one hand robust and on the other hand pleasantly stands out from all the unicorn, pirate and Mickey mouse chairs.

With the new Prime series, Steelseries wants to offer performance-focused peripherals that have (once again) been developed together with eSports professionals.

The PX7 is listed at various retailers from 319 euros, the RRP of Bowers & Wilkins for the PX7 is still 399 euros.

If I had criticized in the last articles about Sharkoon mice that only right-handed people can enjoy a good/cheap mouse, now left-handed people can also be happy. How the Light² S, which can be operated from both sides, performs in the test is revealed in the following article: Packaging and scope of delivery The design of the box is kept, it is [...]
One thing we want to do right away: It's not about a self-taught 2.1 system, in which two small howler cubes are to be combined with a thick, big brother. Our intention is to make the subwoofer so discreet and profitable... Interior and loudspeaker chassis If you remove the complete active unit, you can take a first look at the body. The glued [...]

The Realtek ALC4080 on the new Intel boards demystified and the differences to the ALC1220 | Insider
The Realtek ALC4080, which was launched in 2020, can now be found as a sound solution on many new mid-range and high-end Intel boards without the customer really knowing what’s behind it. Exactly that I would like to change today gladly and have a suitable data sheet from a mainboard developer procured. The ALC4080 breaks with the long [...]
Corsair’s mouse assortment has grown considerably in the last few years, practically in every price range and for every target group they have something on offer. In the midfield we now added another model especially for players with claw and fingertip grip, which we take a closer look at in the following article: Packaging and scope of [...]
In the review of the Sharkoon Shark Force II I had finally said that I can’t give a purchase recommendation despite convincing qualities. And today the reason for this – the Light² 100 – proves itself on the test bench. Packaging and scope of delivery As for the box, the design is very similar to the already tested mouse and [...]
One or the other will probably think: Sharkoon again? No, I’m not getting paid for this! On the contrary, I bought the keyboard myself in April 2020 along with the Sharkoon Light² 200. I’ve been using the keyboard for working, writing, and gaming ever since. So it was time to write a review about it and to leave my personal impressions [...]
In the last review I introduced you to the Shure Aonic 50 Overears, today I introduce you to another product from the Shure Aonic range: the Aonic 5 in-ears with matching Bluetooth 5 adapters. The Aonic 5 can definitely be classified in the high-end category, and this is also reflected in the price. According to the RRP, we have to put down a [...]
With today’s article, I ventured into a segment of the keyboard market that I’ve tended to avoid. Since I’ve always had a bit of a hard time with the lack of a numpad on many notebooks and TKL keyboards, the jump from fullsize to a 60% layout is a big one. In the following review, you can find out how the tiny device could do in [...]
Anyone who spends a lot of time in a home office knows the dilemma: one computer for work, one computer for private use, both with monitors and peripherals, but both somehow have to be on the same desk. Chaos ensues, ergonomics and productivity suffer. The remedy is a KVM switch. We’ll take a look at what that is and what an implementation [...]
The Nerdytech Couchmaster Cycon 2 is the successor of the first version since the end of last year and Nerdytech must have taken up the feedback on the previously released products, because there are only a few points of criticism. Now it’s not like I realize every test request immediately and euphorically, because it is as always also a [...]

As I mentioned in the basic article on what to know about computer mice, today is the dedicated review of my top mouse recommendation for the rather slim penny! Yes, I’m aware that this is another mouse review, but at least it describes a product that you can currently buy and get for a very good price. Which is more than you can say for a [...]
