AULA AG60 Pro Keyboard Review

29 July 2026 at 09:33

The AULA AG60 Pro is a compact 60% gaming keyboard built around magnetic switches, bringing features like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger and deep customisation to a much lower price point than we typically see. On top of that, it pairs those gaming-focused features with a full CNC aluminium chassis, giving it a surprisingly premium feel considering the $160 asking price. The question is, does it actually deliver where it matters in real-world use, or are there compromises hiding beneath the surface?

ASUS ROG Pelta Wireless Headset Review

9 July 2026 at 08:38

The ASUS ROG Pelta Wireless is a mid-range gaming headset that takes a slightly different approach to sound, offering a flatter out-of-the-box profile with plenty of room for customisation. With strong wireless connectivity, excellent comfort, and a lightweight version of Armoury Crate handling the software side, it looks solid on paper. But how well does it actually perform in real-world use, and is it worth the asking price?

Built inside a full aluminium chassis and offering hot-swappable switches, wireless support and an 8K polling rate, it aims to deliver the flexibility of a custom keyboard with the responsiveness expected from gaming-focused hardware. But with a price tag of $229.99, does it offer enough to justify the cost, or is it a case of style and spec over substance?

Corsair Galleon 100 SD Keyboard Review

13 April 2026 at 09:09

Corsair and Elgato have combined two of their most recognisable product lines into a single device with the Galleon 100 SD – a mechanical gaming keyboard featuring a fully integrated Stream Deck. At over £300, it’s positioned firmly in enthusiast territory, promising high-end gaming performance alongside serious workflow customisation. The question is whether this all-in-one approach genuinely adds value, or if you’re better off keeping your keyboard and Stream Deck separate…

  • Stream Deck fixed on the right side limits ergonomics and flexibility.
  • Physically wide layout can impact desk comfort.
  • Keyboard itself isn’t exceptional without the Stream Deck.
  • Some uneven RGB through larger keycap legends.

KitGuru says: The inclusion of a fully functional Stream Deck makes the Galleon 100 SD one of the most versatile and customisable keyboards on the market. However, it is let down slightly by poor ergonomics for right-hand users.

Corsair Sabre V2 Pro MG + CF Mice Review

9 April 2026 at 10:54

Just a few weeks after reviewing the 36 gram Sabre V2 Pro, Corsair has returned with two more premium versions built from magnesium and carbon fibre. They’re heavier, more rigid and undeniably more refined, with improved battery life and added Bluetooth support. But in chasing a more premium feel, Corsair has moved away from the extreme lightweight identity that made the original stand out. The question is whether that trade-off makes these better overall… or simply different.

ASUS ROG Falchion ACE 75 HE Keyboard Review

13 March 2026 at 14:00

The ROG Falchion 75 HE is a premium hall effect gaming keyboard, with a price tag to match. Coming in at around £220 here in the UK, it brings pretty much every gaming feature you could want from a top-tier gaming board in 2026. Adjustable actuation? Check. Rapid Trigger? Check. 8KHz polling rate? Check. There’s not a lot the Falchion doesn’t do… but what's it like to use and is it better than ASUS’ current flagship gaming board, the ROG Falcata?
