Geek GK61 Optical Mechanical Keyboard Review – Optical Gateron Brown

March 25, 2019February 6, 2020 Marvin Gabriel

I’ve recently reviewed the Anne Pro 2 60% Mechanical Keyboard and while it is one of the best 60% keyboard out there, it is also quite expensive especially when you consider that there are a vast variety of budget 60% keyboards out in the market. Today, we are taking a look at a budget 60% keyboard that is around the usual 45-50 US dollar range but has a lot more feature to offer, the Geek GK61 Hot-swappable keyboard with optical switches. MY EARLY BREAKDOWN Pros: Affordable, Decent build quality, Standard…

Rakk Ilig V2 Gaming Mousepad Review + Comparisons

March 16, 2019June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

Last December, I reviewed the Tecware Haste XL RGB Mousepad, the cheapest RGB mousepad available right now. But RGB Illumination is not for everyone, some prefer the usual mat without fancy lighting effects and the extra wire that comes along with it. Today, we are taking a look at one of the more premium looking mousepad but without a premium price tag, the Rakk Ilig V2 MY EARLY BREAKDOWN Pros: Good quality materials, Good stitching, Unique leather-like surface Cons: None SPECIFICATIONS WaterproofRubberized BackingOptimal Gliding AreaPremium LeatherEasy to CleanHighly DurableMinimized FrictionDimensions:…

Anne Pro 2 60% Mechanical Keyboard Review – Gateron Brown!

February 27, 2019February 6, 2020 Marvin Gabriel

I’ve already reviewed a few budget mechanical keyboards from a full-sized 104 keys down to a 75% 82 keys keyboard, but I’ve yet to experience a super compact 60% keyboard like what we have here today. 60% keyboards are not for everyone because you lose a lot of valuable keys that might slow you down in terms of productivity, you lose not only the numpad but also the frequently used arrow keys in return of the small form factor. But what we have here today, which is the Anne Pro 2…

ID-Cooling DF-12025-RGB Case Fans Review – Performance + Aesthetics

February 22, 2019June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

With the vast availability of case fans out there with most of them boasting RGB illumination and a ton of lighting effects, sometimes performance is being overlooked over aesthetics. That’s not the case with the ID-Cooling DF-12025-RGB Case Fans that we’re going to take a look at today. These case fans at least on paper should provide decent performance, being a high static pressure fan with up to 2000RPM speed and 56.5 CFM of airflow, it should be able to provide enough airflow even in tight spaces like small form…

February 16, 2019March 8, 2020 Marvin Gabriel

If you’re living here in the Philippines, you probably already know about Rakk Gears, unless of course, you’re living under a rock. But if you’re from another country, then let me introduce you to Rakk gears, Rakk gears is a local brand here that produces fairly affordable but good quality gaming peripherals from keyboards, headsets, mouse and PC case like what we have here today. They are very popular here and receives much success, and I think it’s just a matter of time before they expand and cater to a…

Shipadoo JK200 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review – X Blue Switch

February 12, 2019August 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

UPDATE and Important Correction: Special thanks to one of our followers, I was advised that the switches on the Shipadoo JK200 are not “True” Mechanical Switches. It uses what it seems to be a mechanical switch but it doesn’t actually have contact pins, instead, it has a pole that touches the membrane part of the keyboard that activates the key. What a clever way of disguise. I actually didn’t think about this because I didn’t tear the keyboard apart and I wasn’t able to search for any info regarding this…

Ekleva DC36 Dashcam Review – Extreme Night Vision!

February 6, 2019June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

I am always fascinated with everything that has a camera and lens on it, may it be a DSLR, point and shoot camera, mirrorless camera, smartphones, and even dashcams that are becoming more and more better in terms of image quality they produce. A while ago, I reviewed the Transcend DrivePro 550 Dashcam and it is a very good dashcam. However, it also comes with a very hefty price tag of around Php. 9000 which is a very steep price to pay. So when Ekleva reached out to me, I immediately…

EasySMX ESM-9101 Wireless Game Controller Review

January 30, 2019June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

With my continued passion for looking out for budget gaming peripherals, I’ve come across some relatively unpopular brands that apparently are capable of producing decent quality products at a very competitive price. One of those brands is EasySMX, a Chinese gaming brand that is known for their budget gaming controllers. When EasySMX reached out to me and ask me if I can review one of their products, I immediately checked out their product lineup and did a quick background check about them as well, and even though this is the…

Royal Kludge G87 Mechanical Keyboard Review – RK Brown Switch

January 23, 2019April 12, 2020 Marvin Gabriel

With my continued pursuit to find some bang for the buck mechanical keyboards out there, I stumbled upon the Royal Kludge G87, a mechanical keyboard that’s built like a tank, works in both wired and wireless mode, has tons of lighting modes and has side glow illumination. The only problem is I can’t find any decent reviews about it. Luckily, Banggood.com is kind enough to provide me with one. Today, we are going to talk about everything you need to know about the Royal Kludge G87, especially about their own…

Tronsmart Element Groove Bluetooth Speaker Review

January 9, 2019June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

At this point, I’ve already reviewed a couple of Tronsmart Bluetooth speaker in the form of the Tronsmart Element T2 and the compact Tronsmart Element Splash, they both sounded great with very impressive build quality and I am wondering if it would be the same with what we’re going to look at today. Today, we have the Tronsmart Element Groove that offers a very compact form factor and boasts a “Passive Radiator” speaker design that in theory, will provide more bass and enhance low frequencies even in such a small…

Tecware Vector Pro Gaming Mouse Review

Tecware is another brand that has been on my radar for quite some time now, and I just wasn’t able to get a chance to try one of their gaming peripherals until today, they are an international company that produces gaming peripherals, PC components and accessories like casing, RGB Lighting, and Cooling fans. Their products are known to have that balance between performance and price and are very popular here in the Philippines, especially with their Tecware Phantom keyboard that is touted as one of the bang for the buck…

My Converge FiberX Experience – Life Changing!

December 20, 2018April 12, 2020 Marvin Gabriel

Since I was a kid we’ve been a loyal subscriber of Globe Telecom from just having a landline phone up until we have a broadband internet. We’ve since upgraded our plan several times up to the plan 1599 bundle with 10Mbps download and 1Mpbs upload speed. This speed was fine for us for several years browsing the internet, streaming videos and whatnot. But since I started my YouTube channel, It became evidently slow causing a bottleneck when it comes to my overall content creation workflow. Uploading a mere 1-2GB video…

Tecware Haste XL RGB Mousepad Review – Cheapest RGB Mousepad!

December 14, 2018June 5, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

We can’t deny that RGB is the current trend right now when it comes to PC components, accessories, and peripherals and it looks like it’s gonna stay for a while. A lot of manufacturers are focusing on implementing RGB lighting to almost every product possible, some even are committed to making a complete ecosystem for their products taking advantage of this trend. While RGB lighting doesn’t really increase the performance of our system, some of us including myself just can’t help but include at least one or two RGB components on…
