I love how much you can tweak the new Razer Huntsman — it's just a shame that you can't make full use of its precise analog switches

Razer Huntsman V3 Tenkeyless 8KHz: One-minute review The Razer Huntsman V3 Tenkeyless 8KHz is one of the brand’s new flagship gaming keyboards. It features analog switches with huge customization potential, designed to meet the exacting requirements of esport professionals. It has a simple and basic form, although there are few touches that add a little flair. The shiny, brushed top plate and high floating keycaps are sleek, while the bright but subtle RGB lighting adds some much needed color. It’s also light and compact, but very solid at the same time. The materials feel premium, with the Doubleshot PBT keycaps being the highlight. Some might not like their prominent graining, but to me they’re among the best gaming keyboard caps around in terms of texture.

Corsair Galleon 100 SD review: Stream Deck meets K70, complete with all the bells and whistles

Image
Corsair Galleon 100 SD one minute review I still don't quite know what to make of Corsair's Galleon 100 SD gaming keyboard . On the one hand, the ethos of this thing, the switches, the design, the implementation are generally very well thought out, and it's solidly built too. Sound-dampening is decent, the linear MLX switches are delightful to type on, and the Stream Deck integration on the right-hand panel gives the whole thing a lot more versatility than you first might think. Whereas before your Stream Deck buttons sat beside your monitor, the Galleon 100 SD brings them within reach, taking up that numpad position instead. That makes it a more natural flow while you're gaming and streaming at the same time. That's a long-winded way of saying you can actually use all of the Stream Deck's vast utility in-game, finally, without stretching halfway across your desk to do it....

RugOne Xever 8 review: An extremely rugged phone with a replaceable battery, but it's not quite the next-generation device I hoped for

RugOne Xever 8: 30-second review While this phone won’t make our best rugged phone collection, what it offers might be perfect for some customers, and it is reasonably affordable for a phone with a swappable battery. RugOne is Ulefone's premium rugged sub-brand, launched in late 2025. It targets buyers who want a genuinely capable device rather than a cheap, rough-and-ready handset. The Xever 8 is the entry point to the second generation of that vision. It arrived in May 2026 and carries forward the headline idea from the Xever 7 series: a battery you can swap without powering down the phone. That concept matures here into what RugOne calls Swappable Battery 2.0. The claim is that critical apps stay running throughout the swap, and within quite narrow criteria, it achieves that. I can confirm that the Xever 8 ships with two 4,800mAh batteries and a charging dock in the box. For field workers ...

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 review: same bones, sharper bite

Image
SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2: Two-minute review The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 doesn’t try to do everything. Instead, it focuses primarily on one: speed. At 68g, it’s built to be as light and responsive as possible, targeting players who want quick reactions and minimal resistance. That approach works: it’s fast, accurate, and easy to control, particularly in competitive games where small movements make a difference. But that focus comes with trade-offs. The honeycomb shell won’t suit everyone, and the feature set is deliberately minimal. If you’re looking for extras, you’ll likely find more elsewhere. Likewise, the smaller ambidextrous shape won’t be the best fit for all hand sizes, and the Aerox 3’s mechanical switches won’t satisfy everyone, particularly when some mid-range rivals offer optical or hybrid switches. (Image credit: Future) Nevertheless, the Gen 2 does bring some mea...
