An outrageous amount of features for beginners!
on January 24, 2026
Posted by: Bren
This gaming keyboard is all about options while staying sensitive to a budget. I am utterly impressed here to find a keyboard that has so many outstanding features of higher keyboards, but without the expense!
First of all, I truly appreciate having so many key features on a full size feature like this. The multibutton function is great and while it takes some getting used to, is certainly nice to have included as an option for controlling functions like keyboard brightness and volume. Another thing I really appreciate about Asus here is the included magnetically attached wrist rest. This is a feature that I am honestly astonished and irritated that gets excluded from so many keyboards now, especially higher end ones! When a keyboard has this thickness and normal height keycaps, a wrist rest is truly a must for optimal ergonomics. The included hot swabble switches are linear type that provide a seamless gaming experience. Arc Raiders feels great on this keyboard with all of my quick actions and mobility keys coming intuitively under my finger tips even during the most stressful combat scenarios. The keyboard delivers a reasonably good typing experience with dampening to absorb some of the noise of your typing, while the keys themselves have a good feel and tactility. I love having a full sized number pad for dedicated Excel spreadsheet work while I am doing our household budget and networth statements. This is a WIRED keyboard. I personally have no problem with this, as wired connection is reliable and I never have to worry about my keyboard running out of battery in the middle of a workday.
Altogether, I am extremely happy with this keyboard and in an era of run-away prices on RAM and GPU’s, it is nice to see that at least one essential PC gaming accessory has awesome budget options available like this keyboard!

Possibly the best active-wear earbuds I’ve used!
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: Bren
I am beyond impressed with these OpenFit Pro earbuds from Shokz. Not only do they have form-factor defyingly good audio, but the just seem to stay on my head and keep the music pumping in situations where my Apple Airpods would have already fallen out of my heads and been rolling all over the filthy gym floor!
The first thing I noticed about these OpenFit earbuds is that they just felt different in a positive way. Compared to over-the-ear headphones, I have no sense of claustrophobia while wearing these or troubles with my ears getting too hot (a common issue for those of Irish descent). Compared to in-ear earbuds, these just seem vastly more, as you would guess from their name, open, allowing in outside sounds and conversations and sensory inputs to keep you engaged in your surroundings while working out or just wlking around.
The build quality and materials are excellent. Because of the form factor of these wireless earbuds, the case is naturally larger in size than comparative ear buds cases like for Airpods, but it still fits nicely into a jeans pocket or gym bag.
Overall, I am so happy with these and glad to have them in my audio product rotation! 5 out of 5 stars easily!

Perfect solution for office use!
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Bren
I am very pleased with my new Insignia Mini Fridge! I really wanted a solution that would work nicely for keeping my lunch items and beverages within easy reach while I work in my busy medical office. This fridge offers the right blend of features combined with an excellent price that make it a great option to recommend. It does have a few quirks, though, that would prompt me to let buyers know just in case.
First of all, I have a few features I like: I love the door storage and how it really optimizes organization. I easily was able to put several sparkling waters, protein shakes, and a full carton of half and half in the door and still had some room for additional odds and ins! If you have ever used a mini fridge, you will know that since these aren’t always equipped with the best automatic defrosting features, it is best to keep cans of soda and similar beverages from being stored in direct contact with the sides or rear wall of the fridge. This is a great solution for working on that. I also like the crisper drawer and handy shelves for organizing my meal-prepped meals in Tupperware.
Now for the quirks. For one, while I am glad to have the mechanical temperature dial, it has been a chore to get the temperature just right in this fridge. I am aiming for about 35-37 degrees F, and I am consistently either getting too cold, down to 32 degrees, or too warm at 40 degrees. I think I may have finally dialed in the temperature, but since the dial is completely exposed, I am worried that I may bump it and mess up my hard work. Additionally, as others have noted, I am already experiencing some frozen condensation in the back of the fridge, which suggests that we will likely need to manually defrost at some point.
Altogether, the quirks do not outweigh the benefits or value of the excellently priced and spacious mini fridge! I would highly recommend it for purchase, and I hope the review has helped provide some clarifying points!

A great solution for salon-like hair!
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Bren
The Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool & Air Glosser is a styling device that provides powerful airflow with a heated ceramic barrel to deliver a salon-style blowout. In my experience, the product works well, especially on my thick, coarse, curly hair.
Likes:
1. I love that it offers two-in-one functionality: both a blow dryer and a straightening/glossing brush. Rather than switching between two of my products or packing both a blow dryer and a straightener, I can use both simultaneously with just the flip of a switch.
2. The Glosser is helpful too, as it cuts down on time. My hair would normally take an hour to just blow dry than straighten. With the Shark Glossi, I don’t have to wait for my hair to be completely dry before I start styling. What normally takes me 1.5 hours, from hair washed to hair completely styled, is now cut to 45 minutes.
3. I end up with smooth, salon-quality results. My coarse, thick, and curly hair usually ends up frizzy when I blow dry, and it requires high heat to tame it down. With the effective heat and air control, the Shark Glossi helps you achieve the style you want without damaging your hair. I have used this tool multiple times now and can confidently say that I have achieved the “blowout from the salon” look, complete with shine and volume. I not only get straight hair, but also bouncy, glossy results.
Dislikes:
1. The styling device is somewhat loud, especially when using the higher airflow setting. When styling closer to your face, the hot hair can be felt and is a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable.
2. It took me a couple of passes through my hair to figure out the best technique, and to transition from “wet” to “dry” styling.
3. The tool weighs 1.6lbs. After almost an hour of styling your hair, you feel the weight of the device.
Overall verdict:
For me, the Shark Glossi 2-in-1 is a win. The combination of a “blow dryer and ceramic heat” makes this a very effective tool. My usual stubborn, thick, coarse, and curly hair is easily transformed into a shiny, bouncy salon-styled look. There is a learning curve, but once you figure it out, the results and the time it takes to get your hair perfect are worth it.
I would highly recommend this product, especially if you spend a significant amount of time drying and smoothing your hair. If you want to cut down time and devices, the Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Air Tool and Air Glosser is for you.

Great camera as part of my Ring security setup!
on November 16, 2025
Posted by: Bren
I am extremely pleased with this camera as part of my setup! I have it monitoring my side yard and shed, and it is honestly doing a fantastic job with excellent angles and brilliant, clear images!
Setting up, as with every other Ring product I have installed (which is over two dozen now, between sensors, cameras, and related products), was very easy. Connection is incredibly stable over Wi-Fi and I the visual image is crisp and lovely to behold whether it is day or night vision being used.
Now for the quirks. You should just know that while this does use a USB-C plug, it requires about a 20-watt power supply, which is built into the cord. This works fine for my application, but some people might be disappointed that they can’t use a usual USB-C cable and plug into power the device. Furthermore, there is no battery backup and related feasible solar powering for this; a direct AC plug-in seems to be the way to go. While I have no problem with this in my application, I just want others to be aware of what they are getting into here.
Altogether, this camera gets a solid 5/5 stars for my Ring Security setup! I would highly recommend you check it out!

A versatile all-around performer!
on November 16, 2025
Posted by: Bren
The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro 2nd gen is an excellent addition to my existing Ring setup, and it finally came with the features that sealed the deal for me, convincing me to go ahead and get one. The previous generation was lacking in several areas that mattered to me, chiefly in terms of resolution and looks. In appearance, the last generation was just too blocky for my taste. This camera just looks like an outdoor pro camera, but larger and equipped with the most excellent spotlights! There are a few quirks I will share, but overall, it fits perfectly into my setup!
I specifically wanted a spotlight camera for my backyard. I have a relatively large and dimly lit backyard, and while low light recording alone would have been fine for my rear camera security, this is one of the parts of my property that I would actually want lit up in the eventuality that an intruder or unexpected visitor decided to enter my backyard. The spotlight works fantastically and is just bright enough to cast a good beam throughout my whole rear yard, but small enough not to be blinding my neighbors through their windows, which I feel is the respectful approach! The camera’s two-way audio function works fantastically as well. My wife and I were able to carry on a full conversation while she was at work on the Ring app and decided to tune in to see how my daughter and I were doing playing in the backyard.
Setting up, as with every other Ring product I have installed (which is over two dozen now, between sensors, cameras, and related products), was very easy. Connection is incredibly stable over Wi-Fi and I the visual image is crisp and lovely to behold whether it is day or night vision being used.

Nice, wired keyboard option for gamers!
on November 14, 2025
Posted by: Bren
I think that Turtle Beach hit the nail on the head with this keyboard! Based on the Vulcan keyboards from Roccat that they acquired years ago, they continue to preserve this amazing form factor and build style in the current iteration of the keyboards. With this particular model of the Vulcan II TKL, you get hot-swappable mechanical switches on a detachable USB-C wired keyboard with a brushed metal keyboard deck, resulting in a quality experience that exceeds expectations for the price tag.
My entire experience with this keyboard has been great because I feel like Turtle Beach delivered exactly the experience I have come to enjoy on the Vulcan keyboard line. The key caps included are truly a great look that I think sets this keyboard apart from many competitors with typical full PCB keycaps, but I appreciate that Turtle Beach ensured that compatibility remains in place so that you can swap in other keycaps if you have ones that you prefer to go with your included red linear switches present here.
I think again, circling back, that simplicity and utility are what I appreciate so much about this gaming keyboard. This has just enough bells and whistles, like the programmable knob at the top left, to help elevate the keyboard experience, but it keeps the core details that are most important to gamers, such as excellent switches and reliable, responsive keyboard functionality. I tested this keyboard with one of my most frenetic and high-movement games, Doom Eternal, and found that it was more than up to the challenge of rapid and multiple key strokes while I was grappling around arenas in Nightmare difficulty.
Altogether, I think this is a great keyboard for beginners to intermediate-level gamers, and I recommend trying it out if you are interested!

Premium price, but not the most premium feel.
on November 14, 2025
Posted by: Bren
I am impressed with what Turtle Beach has done with this game controller. They have created something here that is indeed truly modular, allowing gamers to use the controller however they see fit, not how a company or particular console brand wants to force them into a box. Being able to swap the left and right modules up or down means that whether you are more of an old school Xbox controller fan with button positions, or like the newer PlayStation controller position of joysticks, you will be all set to go with this! For me, this would make the controller a perfect gift to want to give to a PC gamer this season since it has the flexibility to suit most everyone.
Included in the box is all you need to adapt this modular controller to your preference. The included hard shell carrying case with the pre-cut module and part slots is such a nice touch and means that you can take this versatile controller on the go with you and be prepared to adapt it to your needs.
I took this controller from some different PC games I like to play: Hollow Knight, Subnautica, Doom Eternal, and I found that it performs well with all of them. The only thing I was having a difficult time adapting to is how prominent the rear grip buttons are. I had to learn to slacken my grip on the controller a little bit or else risk mis-pressing while I was fighting or navigating.
The primary criticism I would offer is as follows. I wish the buttons felt more premium than they do. Perhaps I am spoiled with my Scuf controller, but the “mouse click” buttons are so nice and generally offer vastly more precision in gaming sequences and fights where more control is required, like a frenetic Doom Eternal arena fight or a boss encounter in Hollow Knight. I also do appreciate the on-the-fly trigger click/pull changing on this Victrix controller, but this is again something that is better implemented on my Scuf controller. The Victrix controller goes from being a mushy trigger pull to a mushy trigger click, whereas the Scuf controller goes from being an engaged trigger pull to a clickly trigger click, if that makes sense!
However, even with the aforementioned criticism regarding the feel of the controller, if this controller existed in a vacuum, it would honestly be a great choice for just about anybody, and it remains a competitive option when considering specific features like the rotating and recalibrating controller modules.
Altogether, this controller is an easy 4.5 to 5 stars. It delivers what it promises, but it may not be the only option you want to look at and experiment with during your PC gaming controller selection quest. Thanks for reading, and I hope this review helps!

Excellent front and rear dash cam option!
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: Bren
This is an excellent and affordable dash cam option for front and rear monitoring. I really like that this camera uses a simple USB cable for charging rather than a proprietary adapter as this was a failure point on one of my last dashcams that was going to cost almost $40 dollars to replace! Not here, just a simple USB-A ended cable with a DC port adapter included.
The wide angle 4K image is excellent and really helps give the scope of the scene happening in front of the vehicle. The rear camera is perfect for catching those possible rear-end collisions and gives me some peace of mind. I appreciate that this kit included pretty much everything you needed to get started except for installation tools, but trim pullers and wedges are not hard to find. I would just spend as much time as needed to run the cables neatly since cable management is probably the defining feature that makes an install look like low grade DIY versus professional.
Altogether, 5 out of 5 stars for versatility and performance!

An affordable gaming monitor with top tier stats!
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: Bren
Here I am in 2025, blown away that a computer monitor with performance like this can be had for such an affordable price! Everything about this monitor, from the stand to the bezels to the panel itself is just full of quality and makes me incredibly happy to have this on my desk! Even the cables are included that are needed for most PC or console gaming set ups! There are so many features here that make it evident that Alienware (Dell) is concerned with the gamer’s experience with this monitor. A thoughtful headphone hook pops out of the left side of the monitor ready for use. The high refresh rate 1080p panel with g-sync and free-sync makes games like Doom Eternal just look and perform beyond anything else I have experienced with my intel 13700F and NVIDIA 4070 super equipped PC. Every buttery frame with fast response time just feels like riding a bolt of lightning; exhilarating! As others have noted, this is no OLED panel, but this also fits the budget of a lot more gamers and frankly in 2025 is actually a steal for the performance you are getting, especially on sale!
Overall, I would highly recommend you check out this monitor and consider it for your gaming set up!

The Apex 5 gaming keyboard has hybrid mechanical switches that combine the smoothness of a membrane switch with the added durability, performance, and satisfying tactile click of a blue mechanical switch. It also has per-key RGB customization, OLED Smart Display, aluminum alloy frame, premium magnetic wrist rest, and more.
 

Can the key caps be switched out with other key caps

Yes! They are compatible with most Cherry MX keycaps! From Steelseries' Blog post on the hybrid mechanical switches, "Like a blue switch, it registers a keypress with a click at 2mm, bottoms out at 4mm, and requires 50cn of force to press. Because it is a mechanical switch, you can even put aftermarket keycaps on them"

Battery has averaged 2.5 to 3 hours under normal use and 1 hour or so with gaming (as should be expected in any gaming laptop, really). The RAM can be upgraded given you are patient and careful when you unscrew and pry open the back. 8GB of 2133Mhz RAM is what it has stock in one of the two available slots.

will programs be installed on the ssd before the hdd

Yes, they will be. By default to allow quick bootup and accessing times. You can select the 1TB "D" drive though when you are downloading. I keep all of my games on the 1TB drive and it has worked perfectly.
