There are certain things my mother used to tell me are worth the investment such as good shoes or a good bed, and in today’s world, I would argue a good mousepad as well. These items are something we may take for granted, and with eSport gaming, finding a comfortable

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX wireless headset is out now, and I had a chance to try it out. Firstly, it being a fully wireless headset was a massive plus in my books, as I tend to get wired wrapped around things on my desk, but what
It’s been a few months since I last reviewed a gaming headset, and once again, SteelSeries has come through with the goods. After recently reworking their Arctis gaming headsets, and the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 replaces the original Arctis 5, and with how much I loved the Arctis Nova

There are those that ask questions like “Why does it even exist?” or “Who would even spend their money on that?”. It is when the AMD Radeon RX 6400 GPU is mentioned that these types of questions are raised. Small, low power, budget cards do have a place in the
I’m pretty retro in the sense that I still prefer to wear earbuds with a cord. It needs to be something very functional to convince me to change my old ways. EPOS presents the ‘GTW 270 Hybrid Closed Acoustic Gaming Wireless Earbuds’. ‘Leave the world behind’ as you dive into
Samsung has pretty much always been my go-to brand when it comes to consumer electronics. TVs, sound systems, mobile phones, I’ve always ventured towards them as a brand because they’re one of the market leaders. Unfortunately, I had never really considered them when it came to gaming monitors, but the
As Dell’s self-proclaimed “world’s thinnest laptop”, the Alienware x14 is certainly compact piece of hardware. And what Dell has managed to pack inside this tiny chassis is surprising. It is almost as if Dell Alienware is using the same technology as used in the T.A.R.D.I.S. If you don’t understand that
Question: What looks like a phone and functions like a phone, but really wants to be the next big thing in handheld gaming when it grows up? Answer: The newest entry in the ROG Phone Series from ASUS. The ROG Phone 6. I previously reviewed the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate

Keyboards are becoming, if not, more popular than the pen, so wouldn’t you want the best tools for the trade as we spend more and more time glued to a screen. Just like the pen, keyboards come in a range of types but is mini mightier? MKAU investigated this question
HyperX is back AGAIN, this time they have the ‘Pulsefire Haste Wireless Mouse’ to add to their roster of impressive products. Let’s take this little beast for a whirl and see if it can keep up with the ins and outs of our daily MKAU errands and intense gaming sessions.
HyperX is a legacy in itself. They continually push the boundaries on what the gamer wants and needs with innovation at the forefront of their minds. With that to consider, of course, they would try to Frankenstein a more awesome series of mouse pads. HyperX would like to present to

Before working with MKAU Gaming, I had never been exposed to Lenovo as a gaming brand. The retailers I have previously worked at carried the brand, but they were more focused on the normal user or small businesses, and as much as they thought they could delve into the gaming
In the past few months, I’ve reviewed a few different headsets from various companies, and they’re all great at what they do, but they generally focused on one system at a time, meaning you had to unplug them to plug them into another device. SteelSeries has come through with the
Nanoleaf has come a long way since MKAU reviewed the Nanoleaf Canvas Squares all the way back in 2019. With the gaming industry booming, we have watched as the gaming community search for the ultimate look for their setup. As Nanoleaf has moved to the front of the competition in
Back in October 2021, Dell graciously gave us the chance to play with the G15 5511 gaming laptop, and considering its highly competitive price point, it performed admirably, and it well and truly exceeded my expectations. Now, in May 2022, Dell have sent us their new G15 5520. As a
In 2022, home office setups have become more important than ever, both in style and practicality. Furthermore, having a versatile and easy-to-move setup when traveling to and from the workplace can make life so much simpler. Thanks to the fine people over at ‘Twelve South’ we were able to put

Ask almost anyone that works with the MKAU Gaming group what peripherals they have and a good few of us will mention at least one HyperX item. Heck, when we were recording podcasts together, it was usually done using a HyperX QuadCast microphone. There is no denying that they make
I don’t often find myself wondering what to write when it comes to hardware. There is usually so much to cover that the words just flow, but the issue here is not that I don’t know what to type. It’s because I have already written it. In all honesty, I
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love RGB! So much so that I’d been trying to teach myself to program Arduino boards and create my own RGB decorations, and it’ll come as no surprise that my PC is full of pretty colours. The ROCCAT Kone XP
PC gaming has long been a much more expensive endeavor (relatively speaking) than console gaming. Granted, PC gaming can also yield a far more superior graphical gaming experience. Provided you spend your hard-earned cash on high end components. But what is the point of building a high-end gaming PC if
