Since 1959, the Barbie brand has been the pioneer in dolls, doll fashion, accessories, playsets, and more. Created by the late Ruth Handler during her time as president for Mattel, she named the now famous doll after her daughter, Barbara, and later, the male doll after her son, Ken. For
When we attended PAX AUS in 2022, we were lucky enough to be invited by ASUS to check out their range of upcoming systems, which, being a bit of a tech-head, I was very excited for. Even better, shortly after making the trip back to Brisbane, one of their systems

MAD CATZ dares to lead, and after decades in the industry, has recently been busting back into the international gaming scene. Providing MKAU with the authentic ‘F.R.E.Q. 4 Gaming Headset’, I got to put them through their paces. Is this headset a raging tiger or just a soft kitten in
Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in true wireless earbuds under $100, has released a 420 Edition of their Grind earbuds paying homage to cannabis culture, in particular the infamous strain, ‘Purple Haze’.

If you go check out their website though, they provide a selection of interesting and affordable peripheral devices. Fortunately for MKAU, we were given their ‘A6V Gaming Microphone’ to test
When you’re gaming, it’s almost a given that you have an additional screen, regardless of whether displaying your game over both, you’re streaming, or you have Discord open so you can chat with your friends and keep an eye on the posts. This is a little harder to do when
As far as gaming royalty goes, ‘Alienware’ has to be one of, if not the most recognised name on the market. Over the years, the bold and dynamic style has been slowly evolving to include a more sleek and professional range of hardware, ones which can get you through the
Alienware boasts high quality. Delivering years of high-end PCs and laptops, the shift into peripherals like mice and headsets has been an interesting one. Introducing the ‘Alienware’s AW920H Tri-Mode Wireless Gaming Headset’. MKAU puts this quirky-looking headset through its paces to tell you what some average but passionate gamers think.
MSI has been one of those brands that I’ve dreamed of owning. Where possible, I’ve put MSI parts into my desktop, but I’ve never really had the funds to be able to buy one of their pre-built units, so you can imagine my excitement when given the opportunity to try
It’s no secret that I love Alienware, and that attraction has only grown since I started working with MKAU Gaming, so you can bet that whenever we receive a delivery from them, I’m one of, if not the first to put my hand up for it. I’ve played with keyboards,
Typically, when I think of small-form PCs, I think of the horribly slow systems we used to use at my previous job. They had the bare minimum to do the job required and were typically more hassle than they were worth. It never really occurred to me that they could
You can never have enough storage in your PC, and my notebook was severely lacking with its 512GB SSD. Even though I almost never use it, it’d be handy to have some extra sneaky storage for when I’m away for work and fancy playing a game or two, and 512GB
When It comes to peripherals on the market we are no strangers to the juggernaut that is HyperX. After all, “We’re All Gamers.” This past week, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of being able to test out the new HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Wireless headset for PC, and as soon

As I’ve said before, I’m a bit of a Samsung fanboy, so you can imagine my excitement when the boss handed me the new Samsung MX-ST50B Sound Tower to check out, and with Samsung taking on more ecologically friendly packaging, it was hard to guess what to expect. The unassuming
I think it fairly safe to assume that many of us who prefer to game on a PC have either sunk our hard-earned cash into a gaming desktop PC or a gaming laptop, but not both. And by “gaming” I mean a higher-end device that can achieve 60fps @ 4K
‘The Shrimp’ by Nordic Game Supply is an enigma. I have not seen it anywhere before, but God, it is an interesting little device. Ultra-compact, the hype around just how cool this mini keyboard is should be greater, so in saying that, MKAU introduces you to the pint-sized monster, ‘The

When I built my PC back in 2020, I wrongly calculated that a 1TB M.2 SSD and an old 1TB HDD would be enough storage space. The Hard Disk Drive is completely empty because it’s just too slow to keep up with what I need to do, and I’d be
