There's a certain portion of gamers who want to have a much more immersive experience, but don't feel like diving into a headset or throwing on a VR visor. A simple light show will do them fine. Logitech recently created a set of speakers that just might do the trick with the G560 Lightsync Gaming Speakers.

Over the weekend we talked about a couple products from Snakebyte when regards to charging up your Xbox One controllers and the options the had available. But hey, what if you don't own an Xbox, and instead own a PS4? 

Often when we review gaming keyboards, we usually get a few comments or messages from people who are looking for a keyboard that isn't so intimidating. Something without all the bells and whistles they don't know how to program. Logitech was kind enough to send one our way that just might fit the bill

Earlier today we talked about the Snakebyte Twin: Charger X for the Xbox One, but we recognize that there are some people who don't want to buy an entire unit and just want things taken care of quickly. For those people, we also got a chance to review their Battery: Kit and Battery: Kit Pro units.

One of the biggest problems I have had with the Xbox since the 360 is batteries. You're either buying batteries frequently to replace what you just drained, or you get rechargeable ones that will die out on you in less than a year from use if you're a frequent gamer. S you're left with rechargeable battery packs as your last option and Snakebyte 

We get gaming keyboards from time to time from different companies, and while we love to check them out and see what everyone is doing, there's a lot of similarities in the style we never really comment on. AZIO recently sent us a brand new keyboard to try out that definitely doesn't fit the mold. 

A few weeks ago, the fine people at Western Digital sent us a My Passport storage drive specifically designed for the PS4 to review. We absolutely loved the fact that we were able to utilize it so easily, which included being able to port games around to other consoles to play.

While a lot of us who do gaming journalism have been having fun with the company name, the truth is Thrustmaster have been putting out some pretty good products when it comes to extra material for your racing games.

One of the biggest issues Nintendo Switch owners have to deal with at the moment is the memory. For those of you who don't know, the Switch only comes with 32GB of memory on the system, and after all the necessary software is downloaded with updates (just over 7GB) you're left with about 25GB for games.

No insult to the Nintendo Switch or any of the other consoles, but have you noticed how bland they look on the outside. The Switch, when docked, is basically just sitting inside a case being hidden.

A couple months ago we got a brand new Xbox One X, and ever since we've been turning to it more to play other media, simply because you just can't turn down playing a streaming film on a system with 4K that utilizes the HDR. However, we've never really been fans of using game controllers to watch media.

We're about to dive into the prime season for fighting game tournaments around the U.S. with events like Dreamhack and Evo set to be some of the biggest draws of the year, and with it comes the yearly fascination from average gamers for proper arcade sticks. 

It seems over the past few months we've been talking about gear for people who are just barely getting into gaming or coming back to gaming and may not be sure what to buy. Razer has been positioning themselves as a company where it doesn't matter what level you're at, there's some kind of gear for you.

One of the best and worst items to ever come out of the Wii era for Nintendo was probably the Wii Wheel, primarily designed to be used with Mario Kart

Have you ever played with the Nintendo Switch with the Joy-Cons connected and wished they just created a proper D-Pad for the device? Well, it looks like Hori is going to fill that void that Nintendo left open. 

When it comes to gaming mice there are a lot of customization options you can get depending on what company you go through, but very few companies bother to incorporate two specific oddball concepts and slap them together.

In the grand search for better controllers to give us a better gaming experience, we found our way to Scuf Gaming who have been making their own special brand of PS4 and Xbox One controllers for the past few years.

We've talked in the past about people who at some point in time decide they want to either get back into gaming, or have suddenly found an appreciation or a love for it and want to dive in, but they just don't know where to start with gear.

If you're like me and you own one of the second or third runs of the PS4 just before the PS4 Pro came out, most likely the biggest complaint you have about the console is the storage capacity. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have 500GB, but that space can go quickly after about 20-30 games.

In our latest edition of Fortress Festoon, we'll go off the beaten path for a second when it comes to home design and focus more on something personal that while still stored at home on display, you can also take around town with you.

After seeing Apple release three new versions of the iPhone (iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus) at prices that would make anyone's bank account weep, the company now has plans to release more versions that will apparently be bigger and cost even more than these.

The last of the Alienware products to come across our desks in the past few months is their Pro Gaming Keyboard, the AW768 to be specific.

Corsair recently released a brand new gaming headset by the name of the HS60, a follow-up model to the HS50 with the added bonus of featuring 7.1 surround sound audio as part of its features. 

Another piece of Alienware tech that came our way recently is their Elite Gaming Mouse, the AW958 to be specific, which up until this point we've only seen people use in videos and haven't had the chance to practice with it ourselves.

A few weeks ago we got the latest expansion packs from Dropmix, the card-based DJ game that allows you to compete with and against your friends in a battle to make the best mixes possible using samples of popular songs.

We recently got some awesome stuff from the crew at Alienware to check out and review for your personal PC gaming needs, and we're going to start off with two items that may not immediately come to mind but are necessities for a lot of players.

Secretlab was kind enough to send us a Titan chair last year, which we enjoyed checking out and seeing how well they held up to other brands on the market. But as we enter a new year, the company chose to roll out a few new models for 2018.

A few months ago, Razer released a brand new version of their Xbox controller in the form of the Wolverine Ultimate. Seeing as how we now have access to an Xbox One X, we felt it was time to put this sucker to the test and give it a proper review on both the console and the PC

I've been a fan of Ultimate Ears for several years now. One of Logitech's more premiere lines of creative audio products, they're primarily known for the Boom and Blast Bluetooth speaker series, but they also have Ultimate Ears Pro, which does custom mold earbuds and in-ear monitors.

A while ago we got a cool Batmobile in the mail, but it wasn't just any ol' Batmobile. No sir! This was the Ultimate Justice League Batmobile from Mattel designed to look and operate like the one from Batman V. Superman and Justice League.
