Azio MK Retro

There are so many different reasons why people upgrade to mechanical keyboards. For some people, it is about durability. But for a lot of people, there is a bit of nostalgia involved. Some of us grew up with clicky buckling spring keyboards and just want a little of that back. With that in mind, Azio has introduced a new keyboard that is all about going old school, even beyond those buckling spring keyboards, back to typewriters. They aren’t the first company to do it, Datamancer a company we have worked with in the past had a few typewriter style keyboards and even sold keycaps. But Azio has actually taken the next step and gone into mass production and dropped the costs considerably. So today I’m going to take a look at their MK Retro and see if it is actually a usable keyboard, or if it is just going to be a novelty.

Crucial MX300 750GB SSD Review

One of the biggest driving factors behind improving chip performance is not only the optimization of the chip but the process of making it smaller. You see by doing so you can pack in more stuff on to a single chip that not only increases performance but allows the manufacturer to implement cost savings during the production process. Small chip, high margins, everyone is happy.

Thing is, there is a limit to how small a circuit can be before the electrons get confused and can no longer follow the paths. This creates interference and is the main limitations to how fast a circuit can run. Well, there are two solutions to this problem. The first is to simply use a larger manufacturing process which in turn makes the chip bigger. This increases cost, power consumption and is generally not something chip makers want to admit doing. The second is to increase density using a method which has created some of the biggest cities in the world.

Dishonored 2: Performance Analysis

Dishonored 2 gives you the choice to be either stealthy, fight or avoid conflict. The game is built using Void, a new DirectX 11 engine that's based on id Software's RAGE engine. We tested the game on 10 graphics cards up to 4K resolution and looked into VRAM usage, too.

G.SKILL RipJaws KM570 MX mechanical keyboard Review

We review the KM570 MX mechanical keyboard from the G.Skill gaming series. The unit is affordable (really affordable) and has been fitted with Cherry MX (in our case) red switches. It is a keyboard that offers value for money and doesn't go all berserk with RGB LED activity. Just subtle red back-lit keys and if you want to, you can animate them.

G.Skill opened up a new chapter ever since a year as they offer gaming peripheral products including headsets, mice and keyboards. The G.SKILL KM570 as we review today is a more value keyboard. Armed with Cherry MX switches of your choice red/blue/brown (we review red) G.Skill realized, it's not just all about the RGB LEDs and cool lighting animations these days. This keyboard does come with just one color back lit keys, red and sure these can be animated, turned on but also off. The keyboard goes back to basics in term of design, a ridged product sitting on your desktop that for a change actually looks like a keyboard you grew up with Being Cherry MX based it has switchable keys for which some fo them are contoured. The keyboard comes with a USB connector and some aesthetics tweaks. Though perfect for normal usage, we feel the KM570 is a great FPS and RTS gaming keyboard.

Intel Kaby Lake Linux Testing With MSI's Cubi 2 Mini PC

Kaby Lake mobile processors began shipping last month and while we've seen a number of laptop designs using these processors that succeed Skylake, so far the Intel NUCs haven't surfaced nor many other SFF PCs making use of the next-generation hardware. That changed last week with MSI's Cubi 2 powered by Kaby Lake CPUs beginning to ship. I've been testing an MSI Cubi 2 with Core i5 Kaby Lake processor under Ubuntu Linux and so far the experience has been pleasant. In this article are our first Kaby Lake Linux benchmarks.

MSI Aegis Ti (GTX 1080 SLI) Gaming PC Review

MSI appears to have delivered a new PC format with its Aegis Ti gaming system that we think of as Small-ish Form Factor. In appearance, Aegis Ti bears a strong resemblance to Aegis X. However, it is considerably larger and stands 51cm high. The big difference is that Aegis X measures 43cm x 38cm and has a volume of 19.6 litres whereas Aegis Ti comes in at 39 litres, which is double the volume. Stand Aegis Ti on your desk and you’ll know all about it as it requires a good deal of space.

Rivet Networks Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet For Gamers With Advanced QoS Tested

Rivet Networks recently announced its latest Killer networking product, the Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. For the uninitiated, the very first Killer Networking cards were introduced way back in 2005 and were designed to maximize throughput and minimize ping times for gamers. While total throughput is often similar between network controllers today, Killer networking products reckon they can still deliver a superior experience through improved ping times and quality-of-service (QoS) prioritization. We have had hardware in hand for a while now, have put it through its paces, and can offer some insight on the Killer E2500's actual benefits. Check it out...

Toshiba OCZ TL100 SSD Review (120GB/240GB)

SSDs are state of the art memory components. Over the recent years we have seen the market grow and diversify. With the explosion of TLC SSDs in the marketplace these days it is a race to the bottom more than ever. Companies are trying to find ways to reach those penny hoarders by developing cheaper and cheaper SSD models to replace archaic HDDs. Toshiba/OCZ's latest offering is such a product. The OCZ TL100 (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=5798a9921f&e=1230c2ab07) represents their attempt to win the race to the bottom and is for those who don't need that much capacity and are looking to upgrade their laptops and desktops to flash storage. By utilizing Toshiba's 15nm NAND and a TC58 DRAM-less controller, the TL100 has some of the basic ingredients for a low cost SSD. No DRAM typically means a few dollars saved on manufacturing costs per drive and could result in better power consumption performance.
Although, with that said, there is a trade off in performance, which we will be analyzing more closely in today's review. Once our testing is all said and done we should have a good understanding of just how good, or bad, of an option the TL100 is. So, read on to find out!
