CooYoo Quantum Ti Titanium LED Flashlight Review

I’ve got another flashlight for review today from our friends over at GearBest and it’s titanium so it’s made to be rugged and something you’ll take with you everywhere. The light is called the CooYoo Quantum Ti LED Flashlight, the Ti meaning titanium and it’s an LED light but it’s tiny coming in at under two inches long and it’s waterproof and II ‘d have to say it’s virtually indestructible. The light is rechargeable via microUSB and it has a user replaceable battery in it. I love this light, it’s something that will be with me everywhere I go for sure. Read on to learn more…

Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 Review

Earlier this year we took a look at the Creative ROAR, oozing classy design and serious performance in a portable wireless speaker. Earning many accolades the ROAR rightly cemented its position against some of the top in the market. Improving upon this act would undoubtedly become a head scratcher.

Well, evidently the Creative team is filled with people up to the job of delivering, with the Roar 2 coming in that bit more compact (20% by volume) and 100g in mass which apparently had the design team running up against the laws of physics to retain the same acoustic properties. The most obvious design change is that the front is now solid, and all the drivers now fire up. The Roar 2 and be orientated on its front face with included rubberised sticky feet to allow for horizontal playback and easier access to the rear controls. Amazingly, the specification of the internal electronics remains identical with the same drivers for a powerful performance.

EVGA Z170 FTW Motherboard Review

EVGA is well known to produce high quality computer hardware. In 2008 EVGA began releasing Intel based motherboards, and while some manufacturers release dozens of motherboards for each chipset, making it difficult to pick out the right motherboard, EVGA introduces a few motherboards geared towards key user types. With the release of the Intel Z170 chipset, EVGA currently has three new motherboards that covers three different needs and sizes. The smallest is the Stinger, a mITX; next we have the FTW, a standard ATX; and the largest is the Classified 4-Way, an E-ATX motherboard. EVGA sent us their Z170 FTW, with part number 140-SS-E177-KR for us to take a look at...

Gigabyte X99-SLI Motherboard Review

The X99 platform is an expensive platform to go into. The processors are expensive, the quad channel DDR4 is expensive, and the motherboards are expensive as well. With Gigabyte’s second round of X99 motherboards they wanted to bring out a fully-featured board that could get you on the X99 platform at a reasonable cost. This is where the X99-SLI comes in. It is very much like Gigabyte’s X99-UD4, with a few features left out. Probably ones most users won’t even notice. You still have an all digital power design, 3 and 4-way graphics support, dual M.2 slots, SATA Express, Gigabyte’s AMP-UP audio, and much more! If you are looking to get into the X99 platform and want a solid board that is not going to break the bank this could be the board for you. Let’s see what it can do!

i2Gear USB Reading Lamp with 2 LED Lights and Flexible Gooseneck Review

It’s been a while since I reviewed any USB gadgets I think so it’s time I was due for one. Up for review today I’ve got a USB LED reading lamp which features two LEDS in it and it has a flexible gooseneck so you can position it as needed. The light works fine, you can turn one LED on or both for extra light and the gooseneck allows you to position it as needed and it will stay there where you put it. Read on to learn more..

Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E.M GameSmart Mobile Keyboard Review

Smartphones and Tablets are part of our everyday lives and that's not something to go unnoticed by all the manufacturers out there so as expected really the mobile accessories market has grown exponentially over the last 5 years. Right now there's pretty much everything people may need to "enrich" their mobile experience including cases, screen protectors, chargers, stylus pens, charging cables, stands, Bluetooth HandsFree, speakers and car kits, car and bike holders, one touch buttons, selfie sticks and even wireless keyboards. Personally I’m not much into mobile accessories since my job has me spend most of my time in a lab but from time to time i do use one of the two tablets we have here (usually to post on Instagram) and i have to admit that a small Bluetooth keyboard would come in handy. Mad Catz released one such keyboard a few months back called the S.T.R.I.K.E.M and today we're taking a closer look at it.

Established by passionate gamers in 1989, Mad Catz is a multi-category market leader capable of supporting consumers worldwide. Mad Catz products cater to users of in-home gaming consoles, handheld gaming consoles, Windows PC and Mac computers, smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices. At Mad Catz, it’s all about the game.

Unlike regular sized keyboards or even tenkeyless ones the size difference between them and a wireless keyboard used for mobile devices is massive. Still although the S.T.R.I.K.E.M mobile keyboard may be rather small it's actually larger than most similar models in the market currently and if that wasn't enough to win it some points Mad Catz has also equipped it with P.U.L.S.E membrane switches (2mm travel distance with 60g of actuation force), optical finger navigation touch sensor with two buttons that can act as a mouse, dedicated media buttons, quick-switch between 4 paired devices, fully adjustable backlighting for the keys and a rechargeable battery that can power it for up to 18 hours (45 without backlighting). Sure it's not about to compete with its larger brothers the S.T.R.I.K.E.5 and S.T.R.I.K.E.7 (besides it wasn't designed with the same target audience in mind) but it sounds quite interesting so let's get close and personal with it.

Philips 227E6EDSD 22-inch IPS Monitor Review

The 227E is the smallest screen from a new line of IPS displays from Philips. This 22-inch monitor features the firm’s new SoftBlue technology, using LEDs that are designed to adjust the wavelength of blue light to cause less eye fatigue, but we’re equally interested in the value for money it offers. At £119, it’s one of the lowest-priced 1080p displays on the market, but since it’s based around IPS panel technology, it’s really good value for money.

The Plextor M6V (256GB) SSD Review
