Razer DeathAdder Essential Mouse Review

It's a new, cheaper DeathAdder mouse - is it competitive at the £50 price point? Razer has long been known for its premium, feature packed mice, with very few alternatives for the budget consumer. This began to change with the introduction of its Essential Gaming line, seeing the release of the Razer Abyssus Essential earlier this year. Now, the company has given its famous DeathAdder range the same treatment – but can the DeathAdder Essential compete in a market already oversaturated with budget offerings?

Scythe Choten TUF Gaming Alliance CPU Cooler Review

Scythe Choten TUF Gaming Alliance While there is certainly a pretty large market for bulky air coolers or even what you might consider those of a standard size, there is a relatively limited market that looks to combine a strong level of performance with a low-profile style design.

TeamGroup T-Force XCalibur RGB DDR4-4000 16GB Memory Kit Review

Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at the TeamGroup T-Force XCalibur RGB DDR4-4000 16GB Memory Kit. These “Special Edition” memory kits are XMP 2.0 ready and are rated to run at DDR4-4000 with memory timings of 18-20-20-44 @ 1.35V.

Although the memory timings seem to be quite high, the increased speed of DDR4-4000 should counter balance any latency. And of course, higher memory speeds means higher overclocking ability.

There is one thing to note. Not all motherboards can support high memory speeds above DDR4-3200. I recommend checking your motherboard manufacturer first for compatibility.

The AMD Radeon RX Vega Launch Performance Compared To 2019 Linux Drivers

With the AMD Radeon VII graphics card shipping in two weeks as the second-generation Vega GPU at 7nm, I figured it would be an interesting time to see how far the original Radeon RX Vega 56 and RX Vega 64 graphics card performance has evolved since their launch back in August 2017. Here is a fresh look at the current Radeon RX Vega 56/64 GPU performance today using the bleeding-edge Linux graphics drivers compared to the driver state back in 2017 for OpenGL and Vulkan gaming performance.

ZENS Dual Wireless Powerbank Review

Last fall I had the chance to take a look at ZENS' all-new Dual + Watch Wireless Charger, which offers spots to charge two Qi-enabled smartphones and one perch for the Apple Watch. I came away quite liking the accessory, which should be a great charging hub for anyone in a two-person household, and now the company has launched a companion accessory called the ZENS Dual Wireless Powerbank.

This device is a portable battery pack that itself includes two spots for wirelessly charging an iPhone 8 or later (or any Qi smartphone), similar to the design of the Dual + Watch stand. The Powerbank has a 9,000 mAh battery, two USB-A ports, and one USB-C charging port on the rear (USB-C to Lightning fast charging is not supported). The device itself also supports wireless charging, so you can place it on the Dual + Watch stand without needing to mess with wires to fuel up the Powerbank more easily.
