Streaming and gaming is now a lucrative enterprise. More and more people are streaming and building communities of gamers, talking about their passions and dreams. Speaking of talking, talking is the gateway to knowing who someone truly is, and when I want to get to know my audience and friends,

The RIG 700 HX is new wireless headset from Plantronics that’s designed to work with Xbox & Windows 10. The RIG 700 HX headset is quite simple in design but makes up for in other ways. The frame is lightweight plastic but diverts from its basic suspended strap aesthetics most

I’ve said this before, openly and without shame I’ll say it again, with technology I am as vain as it comes. While my colleagues are chasing pure power in products, my first go to question is, does it look good? Then, does it match the rest of my set up?

Athletes in all sporting codes train and work hard to be the best in their chosen sport. Not only is the right training crucial to becoming the best but having the right tools to get you there is also just as important. e-Sports is no different. Granted some will argue

Most gamers want the edge on the competition. No longer are we living in the days of the tracking ball mouse of our past, we want even our mice to be quick and efficient, so how does the S1 and S2 from the BenQ Zowie S series of e-sports mice,

Last time I reviewed a gaming mouse, I opened by saying that I never really understood why people wanted to buy things that were so expensive; why they needed something that was so heavy. To be honest, I still kind of feel that way. Sure, I like the way it

Gaming is an ever evolving industry, with mobile gaming whether we want to admit it or not, a lucrative business. People want that quick, competitive fix on the go now, and with mobile gaming swiftly growing in popularity, this trend isn’t going anywhere soon. It makes sense then that many

Over the last decade, I have reviewed a number of HyperX products. Mostly headsets, but also RAM, SSD’s and I am sure some other hardware I can’t think of right now. And if I’m honest, HyperX has always felt like a “budget” option when purchasing it’s branded items.

Audio is important in our household. Whether it be cleaning the house on a Sunday morning, old school tunes blaring, high octane background music hyping me up for an epic gaming session on a fave shooter or mellow instrumental playlists to set the mood for the train to sleepy town

Ninjas In Pyjamas. Fun name, but a renowned name. The esports team, Ninjas in Pyjamas, have their toes dipped in a number of games but are famously celebrated for their CS:GO team in competitive gaming circuits. Unsurprisingly they have teamed up with Xtrfy to develop the H1 Pro Gaming Headset.

I already use a BlackWidow Tournament Edition I personally bought back in an EB sale a couple of years ago. I love how it is small and compact it is as I already have a cluttered work area, but how will its big brother the Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I’ll be honest, I never really saw the point in buying things like elite controllers. On top of that, once I was able to buy my own gear, it was always the genuine brand stuff. I generally found aftermarket controllers for the most part, to be a disappointment. They just

I can honestly say that I didn’t think a keyboard would make such a difference to my typing. Let’s face it, the keys are for the most part all in the same spot. What else really is there? Today while working my 9-5 I realised just how much a good

Alienware. A brand that for many years has been known as one of the founders of PC gaming equipment. Be it high performance computers, keyboards or mice, Alienware is a brand that you can utter and everyone will know that you are talking about quality products. Now I’ll admit, being

Ahhh, Alienware, how I love thee. Since I got my Alienware X17 laptop a few years back, I have been a big fan of Alienware. The sleekness of their designs, the sharp edges and the bold lines. I was recently given the opportunity to review one of their mice, and

I don’t know about you, but I feel some games play better on an arcade system. The likes of Tekken, Mortal Kombat and platformers like MegaMan all seem to play better when you’re handling a simple stick and a number of buttons as opposed to a controller. The games feel

LucidSound are yet another lucrative brand to team up with Xbox to provide more options for you, the consumer. Packed with a removable mic, 3.5 jack cord, USB cable and a mic port cover, how did the LS35X ‘s from LucidSound stack up? Straight out the box, and their silky,

As a society we are always on the go. We want everything in our lives small, efficient and portable. One of the things I do the most on the go is listening. Listening to the world around, voices, video game content and to my music. Having sound directed straight to

Streamers and podcasters alike are the modern-day celebrities. Especially in the gaming world. To build that effective connection with their audience, they need to be able to communicate with clarity and quality. The voice is a powerful tool to convey a message, so the tech we use should be pivotal

Those small, corrugated, clear, plastic mats for your computer chairs,that always look like they were bought in the 80’s, we all know at least someone that has one. Designed to protect your carpet, and bond money, I always cringe when I see one glistening in its vinyl tackiness. Thank god,

Human beings sit a lot in our lifetimes, I, myself pretty much collapse in a seat the moment I finish my day job. In saying that, don’t we deserve to splurge a bit in an activity we vigorously partake in each day? Now at MKAU Gaming we are rocking chairs
