NVMe drive thats great for modren devices.

Posted by: CrysisComplex
WD_BLACK SN850X is a great drive to use on modern hardware. the speeds are quick and transferring to the drive is very quick. The NVMe drive was simple to put into a laptop, PC desktop, and Playstation 5. This drive isn't advertised for a PS5 but it does work beautifully so far from my experience using it. I didn't have any issues with game loading and the game loaded up at rapid speeds.
Placed the WD_BLACK SN850X into a laptop and was getting the speeds shown in the pictures. I did place this drive inside a desktop and was hitting a little more speeds than above on my laptop nearing 5000 MB/s on reading. creating content and videos and then transferring them over to the drive was in a blink of an eye.
I wanted to test this inside the Sony PlayStation 5 and it was great. it fits inside the PS5 with no problems and the PS environment catches above the 6000 MB/s mark. the PlayStation 5 recognized the drive and formatted the WD_BLACK. it's definitely an excellent SSD to have. Transferring GTAV, The Last of Us 2, and RE:village was super fast.
Overall it isn't much to say, it is a reliable NVMe drive with great speeds. good for content creators but even better for gaming as its intended purposes. if you need a drive that pulls its punches this SN850X is the NVMe drive to get.

I have to admit. This is a special controller!
on August 29, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Backbone didn't have to make this device as it's pretty much just like the original Black Backbone BUT! I have much more to say as someone who owns both. What makes this one even better for someone like me is that this is a Sony Playsation 5 Edition. This means matching the black and white color scheme and buttons to match that of the Sony Playsation ecosystem. The buttons and D-pad are clear and on the back is a branded PS logo that covers the Apple logo (lol). I love it, I really am enriched by the design in a way...like a Playstation "Vita Phone" of some sort.
Backbone has always been a great mobile controller from the start for iOS; as there is really none in the market that works as well. Backbone is lighter than the competition, offers more features than the competition, and is overall better than the "green" brand with this device. Also while yes you can use your PlayStation 5 controller on iOS let's be real with ourselves...Are you really going to lug that around with your phone as well? The backbone can easily fit into pockets and take with you.
The controller is one of the best mobile controllers I've used and I love how it contours with your palm. Gripping it is great and feels like a real portable system. Notifications buzz can be felt through the Blackbone controller. I used an iPhone 12 Pro MAX and an iPhone 11 Pro MAX on the backbone giving me a huge screen when gaming. It doesn’t feel out of place making it feel too large to carry on Apple’s biggest phone.
Outside of the standard buttons you already know from the PlayStation ecosystem like X, O, Square, and Triangle; there are a few buttons here unique to this controller. There is a button for the Backbone Menu (This launches the Backbone app which is useful as it's a quick press of a button to get into all your services. Completely eliminating unnecessary steps when connecting to a phone. The LED around the button lights up when it’s connected.), A screenshot button so you can share online screenshots and videos also works natively with iOS.
There is a 3.5mm headphone jack that comes in the handle when you just want to use wired headphones and funny enough a good way to bypass iPhone not having one. Even listening to music was great on the device and use a gaming headset on the device with a mic. Backbone also has a lightning port where you can charge your phone as you game. You don’t need to charge the controller itself as it's just a bypass for your phone. L3 and R3 clickable analog sticks feel nice clicking them in. To fit the phone inside you must take it out of a case.

You don’t need to charge the controller itself as it's just a bypass for your phone. L3 and R3 clickable analog sticks feel nice clicking them in. To fit the phone inside you must take it out of a case.
The controversy over this controller is the placement of the analog sticks. They are not the placement they are on the PlayStation 5 controller. They mimic The analog stick placement of an Xbox controller. And while I understand that could be an issue for some people. I believe they did this to keep the theme of the original Backbone as well as most games on PC using the Xbox control scheme. I didn’t have any problems with playing any games on PS5; Even with the analog sticks placed where they are.
Another problem some might have is that the analog sticks are not concaved like the PS5 controller. All of these issues didn’t impact my enjoying gaming mobile as every game I was playing wasn't that much different than using a controller on a PC. Maybe they will fix these issues with a “Pro” model of a Backbone but this one is more of a choice between the white and black colors of the existing backbone.
While streaming from PlayStation remote play and Steam held up perfectly. Every button responded and gave a satisfying click. It’s simply amazing how far we’ve come to play great games without a hassle. If you have a USB-C; it can be used on any device like the iPad or PC so it poses as an extra controller to have around. It works on Xbox streaming and Apple Arcade as it’s just a normal backbone. To use the Backbone app you must sign up for a subscription service. It gives you one year free but doesn’t need the app to use the controller itself.

Overall; Backbone gives you more options in the mobile market and it's nothing wrong with that. I personally like the color scheme it has with the PlayStation 5 over the original backbone. Once it’s all put together it looks great and is simply a stunning colorway. I truly enjoyed the ergonomics of this controller and it’s fully Sony branded in an odd way. This is a real premium iOS controller that I do know. If you want to enhance on mobile gaming experience or just want a better way to play Genshin Impact controller is the product to get! Highly recommend it to gamers.

The perfect alternative to Sony's Pulse.
on August 16, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
So this is Sony Forte into gaming sound on PC as well as for PS5/PS4. And so far it’s been delightful using this product for gaming. they really sound amazing when using! I’ll talk about PC gaming on these headphones in a second but I’ll talk about the overall build quality first.
They feel great, I can’t speak highly enough about the look and feel. I know some people are put off by the white color scheme, but it overall matches the theme of the PlayStation 5 which looks great nearby. If you have a full white and black setup this is PERFECT to complement it. I’ve used this with a PS5 version of a Backbone that gives the iPhone a headphone jack. Gives me the ability to use INZONE H3 outdoors as well. It really is a beautiful design first and foremost with a sliver Sony logo.
Cushions to the air cups are very comfortable and thick lining. Using them for hours feels good while gaming and there are no issues with heaviness to the head or ears. Sony has the right to brag about comfortability because they sure are especially with the headband being so smooth to the touch. Doesn’t feel awkward with glasses either. On the left side of the earcup is a physical volume toggle and a boom mic you can swivel up and down. There is a blank white space on the right side so I guess you can give it some personalization with a sticker or something.
The mic sounds great! Having a Conversation was clear enough for the other party to hear me and communicate well.
The mic sounds great! Having a Conversation was clear enough for the other party to hear me and communicate well.
They sound truly amazing for wired headphones. And I mean really strong bass when gaming. Playing a game like “Stray” to hear every natural sound in the environment was phenomenal. Rain and wind on games like “Death Stranding” could actually just be a relaxing ambient sound by itself. Was in the middle of replaying “Resident Evil Village” in the creepy ridge house just even MORE terrifying due to the fact you can actually hear “the creature” creeks on the floor in another room.
360 Spatial Sound is in full effect here as it makes you feel like you are surrounded by the sound in all directions even above you. Sony wasn’t kidding with this product and it seems they want to get a little bit more serious with gaming sound. Can’t really hear too much of the outside world. INZONE H3 also works perfectly with a PC and comes with a USB audio box/DAC to connect to a PC. Spatial sound has to be turned on in the INZONE Hub software. The INZONE software has tons of features for customization for sound profiles and chats balance. Works for discord.
Once done with the setting you are good to go. Not much to connect just connect the 3.5mm headphone jack and you are good to go. No charging headphones for a gaming session which is incredible. It is a great alternative to the Sony Pulse PS5 headphones even if they are wired. For $100 you are getting a nice matching set with your PS5. I like the INZONE H3 and am excited to see more products they can come up with for gaming. Definitely recommend these headphones to gamers; especially if you’re sick of some of the hassle with wireless headphones for gaming. Great product.

The new Revolution X controller is one that’s actually good to use giving a good overall feeling. This is an Xbox pro controller at a fantastic price point. I really loved testing this controller because I can add weights to the device to give it some feeling to the device. No weights mean this control has got to be one of the lightest while simultaneously giving you control over where you want to be. The feel in the hand is nice and it's comfortable all around with the smoothness of ergonomics. Buttons press in and out without being stuck to the plastic on such really cheap controllers. The buttons feel good to use your thumb on and are responsive to your quick inputs. This one is nicely built and definitely will withstand a few drops to the ground. The durability is here and so is strong reliability.
I've tested this controller on an Xbox Series S mostly and did a few PC games as well like Back 4 Blood, Overwatch, and TMNT: Shredder's revenge. TMNT was a perfect example of using the controller because a lot of controllers' D-pads are very mushy and don't snap back the way they should. This Revolution X from RIG was great. For the D-pad and 2D fighters in general for the Xbox, it made playing these types of games on the Xbox way more enjoyable. That's not to say that the analog sticks are bad. in fact, since the analog has a great feel to them it allows you more direct control over them. There are additional Triggers/buttons on the backside of the controller which allow for macros on the Xbox and give more customizable options. It's just about the way you set them up to your liking.
The controller comes with a trial to Dobly atmos and for what it's worth I like using that feature on this controller. USB-C connects to the devices I want them to, there is a nice LED around the right side of the controller analog stick and looks cool, Nice carrying case and cleaning cloth is included. Software is easy to navigate if you want to put in the time with the pro features. RIG gives you everything you need here to get started and get going which is nice. I feel like here you are actually getting your money's worth when gaming with these. I also will say it doesn't feel as premium as other Xbox Pro Controllers but it does do the job very well in being a pro controller.
when gaming there are very good solid choices and honestly you can't really mess up here. RIG made a fantastic controller and I'm shocked. if they keep going like this they could be a huge force in the controller space. easily for me a 5 out of a 5-star product that I would recommend to my friends.

Light, Cheap, and Eye Popping RGB.
on July 6, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Roccat Kone XP is a wired mouse that's really good to use on my main gaming rig. One of the better-wired mice I've used in a while. Precision is excellent is on point and the click strokes are satisfying. I have really been enjoying the comfort and feel of the Kone XP and this is my first mouse from RIG Gaming. Kone XP is lightweight and easy to move around.
Kone XP is superlight; The mouse can be especially when you want to game. the braided cable that is used is premium and I have no issues with the worry of wear and tear around the cord. "Phantom Flex" as they call it is just THE best! Clicking on the mouse isn't that loud and it keeps the disturbance down when gaming. There are 10 buttons on the mouse and the muti-thumb area gives you 4 buttons for customization.
The scroll wheel is solid but there is no way to use a continuous scroll like on some of the others on the market. The wheel does have left and right lateral clicks so it makes up for features. it does have one of the smoothest glides n the table if that counts.
While it feels like it doesn’t feel cheap the plastic around the mouse feels very smooth in the hand. The RGB is downright beautiful having you the full 18 million colors and it showcases through the mouse. if you have an RGB setup this is without a doubt the mouse to get. it just looks so good near a colorful PC. The lighting is the show stopper of this product and I'm not kidding.
Definitely works excellent with first-person gaming with my test on Doom, Ion Fury, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Cyberpunk 2077 and it all seems to keep up with my precise movements. Being wired with no issues trying to charge the mouse either so always connected and ready to go. I really can't stop talking about the "phantom flex" cable.
If you are gaming I see nothing wrong with the Roccat Kone XP at all. it's cheap and it's worth it at this price point. If I was looking for another one I would definitely bite the bullet and get the wireless version of this mouse. It has all the buttons I feel should be on a gaming mouse for RPGs and MOBAs. this is a real good product that's worth every penny if you are a gamer on a budget.

One USB-C solution for me. This.
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Satechi did make a very good USB-C Monitor Hub that can fit most monitors on top. Getting me obvious out-of-the-way first. Monitors with wide legs will stick out from the stand and will fit but might hang off the stand. That means 27in gaming monitors really look a little odd sitting on top; if you going for a perfect pristine setup.
The next thing I want to speak on is that this does not support video out through USB-C at least on the devices I tested. Data only. I’m sure it didn’t but wanted to test to be sure. Not at those things out the way, everything else about the monitor stand XL is wonderful. I didn’t have any issues connecting USB-C hard drives and the PC just recognize the monitor stand.
It’s actually nice to be able to connect one cord with all the USB-C laptops or phones. All the peripherals connected and I didn’t have to fumble with connecting/disconnecting keyboards, mice, game controllers, and others. For what it is the stand is very nicely designed and will look really good with a MacBook sitting under it. Thin and Light laptops also look beautiful on there like Samsung Galaxy Pro or Dell XPS look great if they were to sit under the stand.
Chunkier laptops like gaming laptops won’t fit underneath the base and I wouldn’t put one under if I could due to heat. They give you enough leeway for the cord to reach your laptop if you want to have it sitting next to it. The stand is also well constructed which will probably take a lot of bumps and bruises
To use SD cards you must flip them over to use the ports. This may confuse people at first try a mild annoyance if you are going to be switching them out. To use the audio 3.5mm headphone jack your PC settings must select the audio source. Once that is out of the way it does its job. It feels great having all the ports on the front instead of fumbling around looking for ports on the PC itself. Just one cord to use all my things with.
I’ll still give this a five out of five stars. Very small annoyance with the SD card but everything else is perfect. And I know this is the XL version but honestly would like the stand to be a tad bit bigger / larger. Also, a gamer-focused version where bigger stands and more clearance for people with those laptops would be great. But I’m the end this product is useful in more ways than I imagined.

Smaller yet still as powerful.

Shark did it again with another great purifier from them. This one really gets the air clean and I’m super happy with the way it’s been working out for me lately. From pets, smoking, and the weird kitchen smells it cleans the air and keeps it fresh.
This air fan purifier is packed to the gills with features that are essentially a mini version of their Air Purifier 6 but still pick up the air from large rooms. Unlike that version, this one doesn’t come with a remote control to use. “Clean Sense IQ” intelligently adjusts to the room air and cleans the air for you showing you stats in real-time. Over time this can go from 0% to 100%. On auto mode, it adjusts to air quality and prolongs the filter’s life span.
There are touch-sensitive buttons on this model as well as lighting up. I noticed with some air purifiers the label rubs off over time (Levoit has this problem) on buttons so having these are appreciated. The buttons light up but there is a way to turn it off if the lights are too bright. Fan Speed Control, Air Info, Auto, Filter Life, Brightness, and Timer Buttons are all displayed at the front of the unit. On the LED indicator there are Three colors around the ring of light let you know what levels the air is in; (You can turn off the LED indicator/lights)
Blue = Clean Air
Yellow = Half clean Air.
Red = Bad Air.
Yellow = Half clean Air.
Red = Bad Air.
It shows on the display; PM1.0 (Number of particles, allergens, and viruses in the air.), PM2.5 (Number of smoke and bacteria in the air.), and PM10 (Number of dust, pollen, and mold in the air.)
Setting it up was as easy as plugging it in and putting the filter in. I also like the footprint of this Air purifier over the Shark Air Purifier 6 as that one is a pain to move around. Shark Air Purifier MAX is the perfect height for any room it needs to be in.
Overall it knocks out any older and cleans the air really fast. I truly enjoy having this product and Shark does know how to keep the air truly clean. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who looking for a very good air purifier.

Airfryer with Personality! Wifi!
on June 23, 2022
Posted by: CrysisComplex
Cafe air fryer is simply amazing and it is one of the best fryers I’ve used in a very long time everything from the design to the way it cooks food. It’s pretty amazing! All little food evenly cooks perfectly and there’s a new feature that can actually crisp up things further to your liking. This has been so good for french fries and fried chicken wings. I’m telling you this is one of the best air fryers I’ve used PERIOD!
Setting up was easy once it’s out of the box you can plug it up and instantly get going if you like. There’s a quick start guide manual and warrantee that comes in a box but you don’t necessarily need the Quick start guide because most of the things are self-explanatory. There’s a nice little recipe book that’s really useful they provided.
Just getting this out of the way; the most difficult part about setting this fryer up was using the app to Wi-Fi due to the nature that there was a firmware update. With the app, you must sign in with an account.
The oven is huge but it looks beautifully designed. It just looks so nice on a countertop. The oven door pulls down with plenty of room for space and cleaning. I like the turning knob to the settings, allowing fast access to modes.
Comes with a Baking pan, Pizza pan, Airfryer / dehydrate basket, and wire rack that you can place into the oven. As you can guess all works perfectly fine. My favorite so far of use is using the pizza pan because I can finally put a 12-inch pizza inside. The pizza simple comes out delicious on the pizza setting. In fact, most of the cooking modes were downright perfect with temperatures. I enjoyed cooking seasoned vegetables and potatoes; a tray big enough for a family.
Cooking modes:
Air fry
Bake
Broil
Roast
Reheat
Warm
Slow cook
Dehydrate
Proof cook
Cookie
Pizza
Bagel
Toast
Crisp finish (exclusive)
Bake

The crisp finish is a mode that allows for melting, caramelizing, or even browning the food. Given an extra crisp of pizzazz, you may add to the food. Perfect for chicken wings when you just want them crispy but not too much. The LED indicator on the front is nice and bright too.
The oven itself does take a little while to preheat and it gives you a progress bar when it lets you know when it’s preheated. You can select preheat mode off. Preheating only works on Bake, Roast, and Cookie settings. The oven light is nice and bright inside. Cleaning the oven is as easy as well the crumb tray provides it is beneficial just pull it out and clean it.!
SmartHQ app is good for what it does. It allows you to remote start the oven over Wifi. There are other features you can do inside the app like turn on the lights, control the lock, and set the mode of cooking. But you must sign in to use it.
Overall I haven’t had any problems or troubleshooting with this Airfryer. It worked great! Super satisfied with the way the food cook and I wouldn’t hesitate to bet another one for a family member.

Going to enjoiy these for a long time

CORSAIR HS65 Gaming headset is a phenomenal headset that's very good at this price point. This has every feature you would want aside from it being wireless. The HS65 works with PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and mobile devices with a 3.5mm. This mostly takes care of everything for the gaming spectrum for your sound.
They feel really great on the head. not pushing down a lot of weight of the headphones either. HS65 still feels premium when moving around and taking off your head. Durability seems to be ok; you don’t hear cracks and creeks when trying to twist it. The logo is beautifully designed with a mesh outing. The design is good; more in tone with a black PC setup. Hearcups do swivel and move.
The microphone works very well and playing games online. My teammates were able to hear me clearly; the mic is Omnidirectional and you can flip to mute. I didn’t have any issues with it. 7.1 surround sound works phenomenally on a PC as advertised. It comes with an included USB connection for 7.1 on a PC. You do need to download the ICUE software to take advantage of this feature. it's not really that many settings as it's pretty much as plug-and-play as you can get.
They sound really good and I love using them on my head. They are extremely comfortable as well what an adjustable headband. The bass is really good and you can hear voices from afar on RE:Village. Definitely enjoyed these headphones. I think the comfort factor is what makes these really enjoyable especially when playing games on the PC. HS65 from Corsair is another headset they did well and this one should please gamers.

Polk made a magnificent little soundbar that impressed in a very BIG way. don't let this size fool you at all. going into this I also didn't think this soundbar would deliver the expectations of the promised features but it sure did. I initially tested this out in a bedroom and moved to a living room to get the full effect. MagniFi Mini AX Atmos Soundbar is one of the best soundbars I've tested this year and I have a smile every time I use this device. If you looking for a shorter review; easy to set up, ARC works perfectly, Chromecast/Airplay 2 connects with other speakers, Atmos is amazing and it's simply POWERFUL. Worth every penny!
Design: It's compact and it's dense. You can feel the weight of the speakers inside the device. Five speakers sit inside this nicely designed black housing with buttons on the top of the device; Power, input, Bluetooth, Mute, Volume -, and Volume +. I definitely don't understand why "Voice Assist" is plastered on the front of the soundbar; it's a technology that can give clear voices to the dialog of movies and such. It works but they must be really proud. There is a mesh covering on the speaker with the LED indicator on the front. LEDs are easily readable in the room of the house. MagniFi looks amazing with any TV setup and it doesn't take much space at all. The subwoofer is also nice looking that's can sit anywhere in the room being wireless.
Ports:
1x HDMI (eARC)
1x Optical
1x Analog 3.5mm
1x USB-A (for firmware updates.)

Setup: Easy. Once all the inputs are in you are good to go. Using the ARC HDMI port of the TV everything just connected without problems. I was able to use my old remote on the soundbar to adjust the volume. Placing the subwoofer in the desired location was nice being a compact sub. moving it around isn't annoying either. The remote that comes with the Magnifi Mini AX is extremely good and handle to keep around. All the features to adjust modes are there.
Features: It's completely packed with modern features I think a soundbar should have these days but this thing excels at what it does which makes it great. Wi-Fi, Google Chromecast Audio, Apple AirPlay2, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth 5.0, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X to name a few. Using Airplay 2 was so great connecting it to other speakers to have a sound all over the house bought a huge smile on my face. The speaker can also connect to Polk's own SR2 wireless surround speakers that are sold separately. Something I'm personally going to invest in. Polk's Voice adjusts works great again you can clearly hear voices from around the room especially when it's set to the max. there are other modes on the speaker like Music, Movie, 3D, and a Night mode.
Sound: It sounds like a movie theater in my room, It's so rich and clear with the sound I had to look around the speaker to make sure this is where the sound was coming from. EVERY SINGLE EXPLOSION from a movie I can hear the debris fall to the ground. Playing any FPS like Doom Eternal was booming with each shotgun shot. Forza had me in a sound trance. I was not expecting the sound to sound this good. The subwoofer only added to the rich sound with the downward-firing speakers. LOVED IT! Music shakes the room if you push the soundbar to its limits. Really don't let the mini size full you at all the full experience of sound is there. it's just shocking to me that they manage to put all this into both a soundbar and sub at this price point together
Compact Wireless Subwoofer: This is a nice addition within itself as it's extremely powerful shaking the room. it's also small and can fit into some good spots in the room. The bass is perfect letting the speaker fire down so you can feel it if you have hardwood floors. so much to love here in this package.
Overall; I'm happy with it and it gives me exactly what I was looking for in a soundbar. HDMI cable, AAA batteries, and the quick start guide are included so you get started as fast as possible. Polk's Magnifi Mini AX is powerful and surprising. Gives theater rich sound to any room in the house and it has features I know are needed in today's technology. from playing games, music, and movies this one sounds paranormal with all. I highly recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This only has 1 hdmi input? So I can’t hook up my Apple TV n my PlayStation thru the sound bar? Or does it just pay to go with HTZ9F
Only one HDMI input on the soundbar. You can't hook up two HDMI IN sources for the soundbar.
If you want sound from all of your devices connected to the TV to play through the soundbar, You will need to use your TV's HDMI ARC INPUT. If your HDTV has ARC/eARC.
