APH Networks: Epomaker HE80 Review
This year for hockey, I joined a fantasy hockey league, which is something I have not done since high school. Back then, I spent a lot of hours on it to make sure my team was competitive, I was picked to draft seventh out of fourteen teams in a snake draft format. I hope I did a decent job with the players I picked, but we will see as this season goes on. My real goal with the pool is to have some fun and learn all the younger players in the league. It was obvious from the players I drafted that I was among the older people participating in our pool, because the people I drafted were also on the more mature end of NHLers. There are question marks throughout my lineup, but a good team depends on everyone to really pull their weight. You will never get a team of all-stars in every position, so you really must find good sleeper picks. In a similar vein, a keyboard may have one or two individual features that stand out, but every aspect needs to come together to make a good keyboard great. Conversely, if a keyboard is let down in one or two areas, it could tank the whole product. Today, we have the Epomaker HE80, a Hall effect keyboard that is meant to be budget-friendly yet offers recent advancements. How does the Epomaker HE80 compare? Is it a solid option across the board, or are there some key aspects that struggle? Let us read on to find out!

KitGuru: Sharkoon SGM35 and SGM50W Mice Review
Sharkoon has become a relatively well-known brand in the low to mid-tier of PC gaming peripherals and components. The company's product pricing is typically highly competitive, and that’s not changing with their SGM35 and SGM50W gaming mice. Both share the same core design but the SGM50W is wireless and comes with a magnetic charging dock for just £40. The SGM35 forgoes the wireless connectivity but lowers the price to just £20 for its wired connection. Do you get what you pay for, or is this a bargain you need to know about?
