Google is set to reveal its Pixel 11 lineup on August 12th, and thanks to recent leaks, the company may have little new to tell about its coming smartphones.For instance, a 9to5Google report this week covered "three [Amazon] listings that appear to be placeholders" published early, "w...

8BitDo has a new mobile controller accessory that clips onto your smartphone, and makes it look like there's half a Game Boy snapped onto the bottom third of your screen. It's called the 8BitDo FlipPad, and it's up for preorder for just $30.There are a few accessories like this, and whil...

After spending weeks testing more than 30 different mice, the Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike stands out as the best gaming mouse because of its unique haptic clicks, impeccable build quality, and comfortable shape.But players with especially small hands or a modest budget should avoid my top pick. Here...

The Steam Machine might not be priced like we hoped – courtesy of the ongoing memory shortage – but those who can pony up the cash will get to customize their machine in some very fun ways, thanks to its swappable magnetic faceplate. Also, those boxy, flat sides are just begging for skins, aren’t th...

You know what’s great? MagSafe. It’s not just because it’s a nice way to charge my phone (questions about how the waste heat affects my battery’s lifespan notwithstanding); I love being able to easily add things like grips or cooling fans to my phone, or quickly slap it on my dashboard before a driv...

I’ve been conflicted about the latest Intel Core Ultra 200S processors ever since I first reviewed them for TechRadar last year, and I have the exact same problems with the new Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus as I did with Intel’s first stab at a Core Ultra desktop chip.On pa...

Gaming monitors have been getting more popular for all types of gaming, but ultrawide gaming monitors are still something that’s unique to PC gaming.

Let's get straight to the point: if you have the money to spend and want the best sound quality, I'm going to tell you to go with the Audeze Maxwell 2. It's like having a home theater strapped to your head, and nothing sounds as good when it comes to gaming headsets. But there's more...

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag came out way back in 2013, and while the game was demanding for its time, PC gaming has come a long way in the last thirteen years or so. If Ubisoft simply released a remaster for the game, it’d likely be extremely easy to run, even on weaker hardware. But, instead, t...

There’s no way around it, the Steam Machine is extremely expensive for the level of performance you get out of it. I still think that anyone who’s only looking to play games would probably be better served with a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, especially if you don’t already have a Steam library. In gener...

The Steam Machine is an awesome little system with serious gaming chops and cute aesthetics. They make a great entry-point for PC gaming if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines for a while and want that console-like experience, with some added PC functionality. But like everything else in 2026, they...

With the recent news that Sony is going to end production of physical discs in 2028, gamers are bracing for an all-digital future. And with an all-digital future, it's almost certain that the upcoming PS6 console won't include any sort of disc drive built in.That's obviously devastating...

Since its debut in 2020, the Iskur has reigned supreme as Razer’s flagship gaming chair. Just as the Iskur V2 replaced the original and became one of the best gaming chairs, the aptly named Iskur V2 NewGen has arrived to become the new standard Iskur in Razer’s line-up. Its updates are subtle, but t...

Now that I’ve spent more time with the Steam Machine, I can’t stop myself from looking at Grand Theft Auto 6 looming on the horizon and thinking about how it’d theoretically run on Valve’s new mini gaming PC. Now, of course, it’s going to be a year or two before Rockstar deigns to grace PC gamers wi...

Remember the Honeycomb Aeronautical Echo Aviation Controller, the intense PC flight sim gamepad that came out last year? Well, the company has announced a new one, the Echo Aviation Controller XPC, coming to "wannabe pilots" who own Xbox Series X|S consoles later this year.It looks like th...

Turtle Beach may be one of the most well-known brands in video game audio, but it still has to show up when it comes to new product releases. That’s more true now than ever, which makes its new flagship, the Stealth Pro II, important. It’s part of a burgeoning class of gaming headsets that splits th...

Hyperkin's young sub-brand Drakong is putting out a new Xbox and PC controller, called The Challenger, that's planted firmly in budget territory at just $35. And, somehow, it's packed with pro controller creature comforts that could make it a real contender in a crowded field of great co...

Valve may have revolutionized mobile PC gaming with the Steam Deck, but more and more handheld gaming PCs keep coming to market, giving it some stiff competition. There are even handhelds out there like the Legion Go S that use Valve's handheld operating system but with more powerful hardware. M...

There's this idea that a gaming PC is inherently a giant tower of metal and plastic that takes up so much space that you need to have a dedicated desk to handle it. These days, especially now that the Steam Machine is finally here, you don't need a massive hog of a tower to get incredible ga...
