The Logitech Playseat Trophy is one of those pieces of sim racing gear that really makes you rethink what a “cockpit” actually needs to be. I went into it expecting a fairly traditional setup with a heavy frame, thick cushions, and lots of adjustability. What I got instead is something much more minimal and clever in design, making it a lot more livable in a normal home environment. At its core, the Trophy is deceptively simple. There’s no bulky padded seat, sliding rail syst

The Logitech RS50 is one of those sim racing upgrades that immediately reframes what you thought you knew about force feedback wheels. I came from an entry-level setup, specifically something like the Thrustmaster T248 class, and the jump to this is not subtle in any way. It’s not a “slightly better” experience. It’s a completely different category of immersion. From the moment you power it on, you can feel that this is built to a higher standard. The RS50 is Logitech steppin

There are always those accessories that feel like they should have existed from day one. The Nintendo Switch 2 is already an incredibly impressive handheld console, but like every portable gaming device, there are a couple of areas where you can immediately see room for improvement. The biggest two are comfort during longer gaming sessions and battery life when you're away from a charger. That is exactly where the Belkin Charging Grip for Nintendo Switch 2 comes in. At first

The ROG Azoth 96 HE is one of those keyboards that immediately gives you the impression it was designed by people who actually care about typing feel, build quality, and daily usability, not just spec sheets. After spending a decent amount of time with it, I can honestly say it’s probably the most complete 96 percent keyboard I’ve used to date. Right out of the box, the first thing you notice is the build. This thing is heavy in the best possible way. It feels dense, solid, a

There are some games that almost feel like a black mark against your name in your gaming history when you realise you haven't played them. For me, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was always one of those games. Plenty of people always told me to play it, and I always wanted to, I just never got around to it. Despite playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed titles over the years, somehow Black Flag completely passed me by. I’m not really sure why either. It was never a game I avoided,

When you invest in a premium home theatre setup, there is a certain expectation that comes with opening the box. You expect that first listen to deliver an immediate wow moment. You expect to sit down, press play, and instantly understand why this product sits at the top of the range. That was the experience I was expecting from the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar. Unfortunately, that wasn't what happened. My first impression of the soundbar was actually quite different from wh

Some products have a very clear purpose. You buy them, set them up, and they spend the rest of their life doing that one job. The Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker isn't one of those products. Over the last few weeks I've found myself moving it from room to room, using it in ways I hadn't originally planned. It started life as a companion speaker for the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar and Subwoofer, but before long it had become the speaker on my gaming desk, the soundtrack to week

If you’re looking at stepping up your home network, the ASUS TUF Gaming BE9400 WiFi 7 Router is one of those upgrades that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, it just quietly makes everything better. I’ve used plenty of routers over the years, and to be fair, most of them do the job. You plug them in, get your internet, maybe tweak a few settings and move on. This feels like what happens when that whole experience gets properly refined. It’s not flashy for the sake of it, it j

There are a lot of gaming earbuds out there now, but the ROG Cetra Open Wireless Gaming Earbuds genuinely feel like something different. Not “different” in a gimmicky way either. Different in the sense that after using them for a while, especially for gaming, you start wondering why more companies haven’t gone in this direction sooner. These are open-ear gaming earbuds, which means instead of jamming silicone tips into your ears like traditional earbuds, they sit just outside

I’ve spent a fair bit of time with the Ninja Luxe Café now, and this is one of those machines that just makes you wonder why more brands haven’t gone this route sooner. It sits right in that sweet spot between “I just want good coffee with zero effort” and “I don’t want to spend $2K and learn how to be a barista”. And honestly, it nails the balance. The first thing that hit me when I unboxed it was how premium it looks. Photos don’t really do it justice. On the bench, it look
