Having been absurdly lucky enough to stumble into a PS5 pre-order among the absolute chaos, I’ve now had the Playstation 5 for a few weeks and have been playing it every day. So, with lots of thoughts about Sony’s newest, shiniest, biggest console swirling about my head, I present to you my rambling review of the PS5. Is this new generation worth jumping into? Does it have any major problems? Are there actually games to play on it? WHY IS IT SO DAMN BIG!?

Corsair ST100 Review – An RGB Headphone Stand? What?
Do you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket? Are you looking to buy a piece of overpriced tech that solves a problem that isn’t really a problem? Great! Because today I’m reviewing the Corsair ST100, a stand where you can hang your headphones for the ultra-low price of just £70. Did I mention it’s also a USB hub, a 7.1 DAC for your 3.5mm audio connection and that it has customizable RGB lighting? So let’s review the most frivolous piece of tech I think I’ve ever covered.
HyperX Alloy Elite 2 Keyboard Review – Oh God, My Eyes!
Do you like insane RGB lighting, satisfying mechanical switches and sequels? Then do I have a keyboard for you! The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is a follow-up from the 2018 Alloy Elite that had CherryMX switches. This time HyperX are hitting hard with their own switches and insane lighting that draws the eye and then burns the retina.
GT Omega Apex Wheel Stand Review – Rock Solid
There are some incredible rigs out there that dedicated sim-racing fans have constructed or bought to further their enjoyment. But for people myself that might not be an option due to space, budget or because we just aren’t as serious about racing. That’s where wheel stands come in, a happy middle ground between clamping your wheel to a table and a massive rig that consumes an entire room. I’ve reviewed a wheel stand before, but now I’ve upgraded, and I want to share my thoughts on that upgrade. Behold, the GT Omega Apex wheel stand. Keep beholding it. That’s long enough. You can stop beholding now, and get on with reading.
SCUF Impact Syndicate Controller Review – Fiddle With My Sticks, Baby
SCUF have earned themselves quite a good reputation for building custom controllers over the years. Venture onto their website and you can choose from a variety of pre-made designs that can then be further tweaked in a bunch of different ways. But the most appealing part of SCUF controllers are the extra features that come with them, from digital buttons to special hair triggers. So today I’m taking a look at one of their offerings, the SCUF Syndicate for PS4.
Switch Lite Review – A Non-Switch Owner Reviews The Lite
The new Nintendo Switch Lite has been out for a few weeks now, it being the newest handheld console to hit the market. While it might have the Switch name the Lite is arguably more of a successor to the massively popular DS line-up of handhelds. Personally I don’t own a Nintendo Switch but I have been waiting for a new, modern handheld console that I can play on the train, in a plane or just when I’m curled up in a bean bag and can’t be bothered moving.
Cello W3203SH Monitor Review – 144hz Of Smoothness
When it comes to monitors if you have the cash then you can pretty much have it all, but at the lower end of the scale it becomes a case of picking and choosing what you really want. Do you desire those extra pixels? Or do you favour a high refresh rate? A fast response time, or vibrant colours capable of searing your eyeballs? In this case Cello, who have begun bringing their products to the UK, reckon you might like as many frames per second as you can handle and 32″ of screen to go with it. Let’s check out the snappily named Cello W3203SH
Oculus Rift S Review – Upgrade, Or Downgrade?
The Oculus Rift S is not the next big Rift that we’ve all been waiting for, and Oculus themselves have been careful not to advertise it as one. No, the Oculus Rift S is…uh. Honestly, the problem is I don’t think anyone is sure what the S actually is. It isn’t an upgrade nor arguably even a refinement as many of the improvements have come at the expense of other features. So, let’s review the Oculus Rift S and try to figure who this VR headset is really for.
Mamut Touch Grips Review – How To Make Oculus Touch Controllers More Like Index Knuckles
With the rise of VR headsets there’s been a whole new industry for accessories appeared almost overnight, from prescription lenses to fancy gun stocks, both of which I’ll be reviewing shortly. Today I’m checking out the Mamut Touch Grips for the Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest. These little bits of plastic aim to bring the Oculus Rift controllers more inline with Valve’s new Index Knuckle controllers. In other words, the Mamut Touch Grips allow you to let go of the controllers entirely.
HyperX Cloud Mix Review – On Cloud 9?
There’s something so nice about putting on a pair of headphones and getting that feeling of the world fading away, leaving only music or the chatter of a podcast or the ambient noises of some fantasy world. It’s comforting, like being swaddled in a blanket while you shoot stuff in the face. What I’m getting…
