Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

As far back as i can remember keyboards have always been my favorite PC peripheral followed closely by speakers and not mice as some of you would expect. Still since back in the 90's we practically had to count on Microsoft and in smaller part to IBM for new keyboard models i never expected that the time would come when there would be a virtually infinite number of models in the market by both large and small manufacturers from all over the globe. The same of course goes for all the features we've seen introduced since then and I’m not necessarily referring to mechanical switches since they've been around for too long already. What really surprised me was that instead of sitting around idly and just using what's already there some manufacturers took it upon themselves to further improve mechanical switches and backlight illumination for gaming and professional use and one of them is obviously Logitech with their Romer-G switches which we first encountered when we reviewed the G910 Orion Spark and the G410 Atlas Spectrum gaming keyboards a while ago. With us today we have the latest gaming keyboard to also feature their Romer-G switches called the G810 Orion Spectrum.

Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users. Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system. With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control. For each of our product categories, we study how our customers use their digital devices, and then our designers and engineers set their sights on how we can create a better experience with those devices – richer, more comfortable, more fun, more productive, more convenient, and more delightful.

Mionix Castor Review

It would be an understatement to say that it has been a while since we last had a look at a product from Mionix, longer still from our very first outing back in the early days of both Vortez and Mionix! Moving on from nostalgia, the Swedish team have been busy setting their sights high to deliver competitive, finely crafted gaming gear. The Castor is a resulting product from such determination.

Its defining points are in its ergonomics, shaped for all grip types, and is then finished with a top quality 4 layer rubberised coating, with textured rubber side grips. The renowned PMW-3310 optical sensor provides a raw, zero acceleration performance that has a doubled-up resolution for a lofty 10,000 DPI. Inside, you will also find a 32bit ARM MCU, 128 kb memory, OMRON switches and everything else that you could expect from a high grade gaming mouse.

MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING Z 8G Review

We move from the X to the Z as we test and review the all custom, cooled and tweaked higher GAMING Z edition GeForce GTX 1080 from MSI. Let's check out the new 8 GB beast with the all new TwinFrozr revision VI cooler, extra RGB LED functionality and very hip'n trendy clock frequencies. The GPU industry has been on hold, waiting for a smaller GPU fabrication process to become viable. Last generation GPUs were based on a 28 nm fabrication, an intermediate move to 20 nm was supposed to be the answer for today’s GPUs, but it was a problematic technology. Aside from some smaller ASICs the 20 nm node has been a fail. Therefore the industry had to wait until an ever newer and smaller fabrication process was available in order to shrink the die which allows for less voltage usage in the chips, less transistor gate leakage and, obviously, more transistors in a GPU. The answer was to be found in the recent 14/15/16 nm fabrication processors and processes with the now all too familiar FinFET + VLSI technology (basically wings on a transistor). Intel has been using it for a while, and now both Nvidia and AMD are moving towards such nodes as well. Nvidia is the first to announce their new products based on a TSMC 16 nm process fab by introducing Pascal GPU architecture, named after the mathematician much like Kepler, Maxwell and Fermi. That stage has now passed, the GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 have been announced with the 1070 and 1080 cards slowly becoming available in stores as we speak. Both models are equally impressive in its product positioning, though I do feel the 1070 will be the more attractive product due to its price level, the 1080 cards really is what everybody want (but perhaps can't afford). The good news though is that the board partner cards will offer SKUs for less opposed to the Nvidia reference / Founder edition cards. Obviously the higher-end all customized SKUs will likely level with that founders edition card price level again, but I am pretty certain you'd rather spend your money on a fully customized AIB card that is already factory tweaked a bit opposed the the reference one. So merely a few weeks after launch, I think this is our 6th Geforce GTX 1080 review already ? This time we revert back to team at MSI who partnered up with Corsair to release something rather unique and more diverse. Now overall cooling on the 1080 is not an issue, I mean face it the TwinFrozr VI coolers already do a terrific job temps wise whilst remaining brutally silent. But the board temperature stil is close to 70 Degrees C, and yeah it can be better when you slap some liquid cooling on top of it. As such MSI and Corsair are extending an idea that got first introduced back at Computex 2015 with a 980 Ti. They however skipped a beat to time the product series a bit better, and it seems that Nvidia Pascal GPUs are a perfect match for hybrid cooling.

Razer Blade 2016 Review: A sleek and lightweight gaming laptop

The new Razer Blade aims to strike a blend of portability and power in a chassis that anyone would be proud to own. At just 4.5 pounds with a profile that’s thinner than a dime standing on its side, you get Intel’s sixth generation Skylake Core i7-6700HQ processor, 16GB of dual-channel DDR3, Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M, and either 256GB or 512GB of PCIe M.2 solid state storage.
