Antec Mercury 240 RGB Review

You may have seen the previous Antec Mercury 240 with its blue, green or red lighting; this time around we get a full complement of colours, 256 to be exact, which illuminate the pump and both 120mm fans. The RGB can be controlled manually using an in-line remote or via the motherboard header to sync up multiple products within your case.

Corsair K70 MK.2 SE RGB Review

I have reviewed a lot of keyboards over the years, more than I would care to count, but it’s in the triple digits. For new models, I’m often quite excited to check them out. However, few if any, have had me as joyful as this one. Of course, I am talking about the K70 RGB MK.2 SE Rapid Fire. The cherry on top of the Corsair keyboard range and one of their most premium keyboards ever released. We missed it at launch, but we’ve tracked one down at last. Is it as good as they say? I certainly hope so!

Cougar Surpassion Mouse Review

While I leave my everyday mouse at home, my current favourite for LANs is a bigger sibling of the Surpassion; the Revenga. Cougar in general have greatly impressed me with the build quality of their mice. They don’t creak or feel like they’re bending under hand pressure as many others do and the buttons don’t feel at all loose or rattly. When I’m clicking any of the buttons, there is never any doubt as to whether I’ve actuated the input or not. This might sound a bit specific, but under pressure in games like CS:GO it can really matter – it’s literally life or death, kind of.

Crucial MX500 500GB (M.2) Solid State Drive Review

"Where are my shoes?" I asked my friends. Looking around our Airbnb rental apartment in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, reality was about to set in. For some reason, despite getting the check on my list of things to pack, my shoes are still almost 2,000 kilometers away in the foyer of my house in Calgary. Since I am not about to spend money buying shoes anywhere in this city of 20,000 people here in the Canadian North, I decided to embark on our week-long adventure with the only footwear I left my house with: A pair of worn out flip flops I paid $1.00 for at Old Navy last year. Now that I am back here in Calgary, I have to admit while it was not too bad getting around town, embarking on a hike to Cameron Falls and making a loop on the trail around Frame Lake was certainly not a good idea. In all cases, appropriate footwear is recommended for different activities, even though you can go outside with either flip flops or running shoes. Earlier this year, we reviewed the Crucial MX500 500GB in the 2.5" SATA form factor. Understanding that the 2.5" SATA form factor may not be appropriate in all situations just like my flip flops, today, we decided to take a look at the Crucial MX500 500GB in another form factor: M.2 2280. Featuring the same Silicon Motion SM2258 controller and Micron's 64-layer 3D TLC NAND ICs, will the M.2 version of the MX500 deliver the same level of balance in performance, features, and price as its 2.5" SATA variant? Read on to find out!

Deepcool Gamer Storm Castle 240RGB Review

It has great looking addressable RGB illumination for fans and CPU block, but how does it perform? With so many AIO liquid coolers currently available, both in 120mm and 140mm dimensions it can be difficult to separate yourself from the competition. The new Gamer Storm Castle 240 RGB cooler looks relatively standard in terms of specification with a 27mm thick 240mm radiator, and two fans included as standard. Where it differs is the inclusion of addressable RGB lighting throughout and this includes the rather good looking CPU block/pump.

With a UK launch price of £109.99 (we have seen it on sale for £95.99) there is a lot of competition for a 240mm liquid cooling solution, but does the addressable LED lighting offer enough of an aesthetic boost to make the Castle 240 RGB the next cooler for your CPU?

iKBC CD108 Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard Review

iKBC may be a new name to you, but if you?re a fan of mechanical keyboards, you should definitely know who they are. We looked at their awesomely metal-framed MF108 RGB V.2 last year. Today we have their latest entry, the Bluetooth-capable CD108BT. If you?re looking for a high-end keyboard without all the gamer-frills, this is definitely one you?ll want to check out.

littleBits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit Review

The littleBits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit teaches kids valuable STEM skills in an engaging way, but it's a little pricey. You want to teach your kids about the wonderful world of circuits and electricity, but working with raw wires and boards is a pain in the butt, even for adults. It requires proper understanding of the difference between positive and negative charges, and sometimes you need to solder (a dangerous proposition for young children). Easy enough for kids, but advanced enough for their parents to enjoy, the littleBits system uses a series of magnetically snappable bits that let you combine a battery, input sensors and output parts (lights, motors and sensors) into a working project.

The littleBits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit lets kids build a working super-powered gauntlet that you can program to react lights, vibrations or button presses. The hardware and associated mobile app are Marvel-themed with challenges that involve popular heroes such as Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Panther and Shuri. At $149, the Avengers Hero Inventor Kit doesn't come cheap, but it's a compelling STEM-learning tool for elementary school children.

Master and Dynamics MW50+ 2-in-1 Wireless Headphones Review

The Master and Dynamics 2-in-1 MW50+ wireless headphones represent a "master" class on build quality. These hefty over-the-head cans sound great and look great at the same time. AppleInsider takes them for a spin and compares them to Apple's similarly-priced Beats Studio3.

The MW50+ isn't an entirely new headphone for Master and Dynamic. They've upgraded their popular MW50 set with easily swappable earpieces, keeping the rest unchanged.
