It looks like the only current supplier of this hardware is Mechkeys, who also supplied this sample. The James Donkey RS4 is an 87-key tenkeyless mechanical keyboard using Gateron Pro 2.0 yellow switches that can operate in wired or wireless…
The Apcsilmic DOT 1 Mini PC is one of the only desktop PCs on the market to run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Compute Platform. This makes it the most energy-efficient Windows PC you can buy and quite likely the smallest too. I wouldn’t say I have had the best experience with Windows on Arm in…
I originally made this post in 2021, which highlighted a fault with the Nuvoto-made HDMI 2.1 chipset, which affected every AV receiver at the time and broke 4K 120Hz output for gaming on consoles. Companies promised these problems would get fixed but were extremely slow to roll out the change. Denon and Marantz AVRs made…
Good news and bad news. Following the insolvency of Insteon, which led to the abrupt shutdown of their servers and bricking of many user systems, the company has now been acquired by a group of passionate Insteon users. When I say passionate users, Ken Fairbanks, the new CEO worked for SmartLabs between 2004 and 2007…
The Innocn 27C1U is a 60Hz 4K 27-inch monitor with a wide range of connectivity. With this being a relatively young Chinese brand, I had relatively low expectations about this monitor, thinking it would be your standard budget quality hardware you see on Amazon.

I am awful at sleeping. I am a very light sleeper, and the tiniest of noises wake me up, and I am prone to anxiety and palpitations when I try to get to sleep. Nowadays, I am fit and healthy; I also practice good sleep hygiene. I have also reviewed a variety of products to…
I am a bit late posting news about the global launch of the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, so I won’t go into too much detail as it has already been covered elsewhere. It’s worth posting about because I think it has one of the most appealing specifications of a flagship phone this year, especially considering…

Then after going insolvent was reformed as STAX and has continued to produce electrostatic headphones since. Electrostatic headphones require their own special headphone amplifier; therefore with the current STAX range of products, the minimum investment is…
Launching alongside the super Realme GT Neo 3 150W, the GT Neo 3T comes in at a much more affordable price. It is basically the same as the Realme GT Neo 2, which launched towards the end of 2021 but has faster charging. Realme GT Neo 3 vs GT Neo 3T vs Neo 2 Specification…
Today, Realme has launched the Realme GT Neo 3 and the Neo 3T. The Realme GT Neo 3 is the first phone to launch in the UK/EU with the MediaTek Dimensity 8100, and depending on pricing, I think it could be one of the best phones on the market. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 on the…
Realme has launched the Realme GT Neo 3 150W globally, and it is joined with the new and more affordable GT Neo 3T. The Realme GT Neo 3 150W has two notable features. The first is the 150W charging which claims to provide a 50% in just 5 minutes, and as far as I am…
I reviewed the Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth transmitter almost two years ago. The Creative BT-W4 is a refresh of that device, bringing the specification up to modern standards. This new Bluetooth dongle is one of the first on the market by a big brand to support aptX Adaptive, but this means that the older aptX LL…
