‘So close to brilliant’ — I reviewed the Corsair Vanguard Air 99 wireless keyboard and it was almost everything I wanted

Corsair Vanguard Air 99 Wireless review The Corsair Vanguard Air 99 Wireless is a premium low-profile gaming keyboard built for those who want one board for gaming and productivity shortcuts, with enough flexibility to handle use across multiple setups. It uses a 99% layout, so you still get a numpad and function row, but the overall footprint is smaller than a regular full-size board. Add fast polling over both wired and 2.4GHz wireless, OPX low-profile optical switches, per-key RGB, an LCD screen and six Stream Deck-friendly keys, and it’s clear the Vanguard isn’t aimed at users who just want a simple wireless keyboard. The Vanguard Air 99 has a slightly compact 99% layout. Future The Vanguard Air 99 has the Stream Deck keys on the left edge Future The Vanguard Air 99 has a a compact but full numpad on the right.

Forza Horizon 6 is magnificent, and one new feature cements it as my favorite in the series to date

Forza Horizon 6 is the long-awaited latest entry in Playground Games’ open-world racing game series — and there’s a lot that’s been riding on this one. Many, myself included, found Forza Horizon 5 to be underwhelming. After that, Forza Motorsport — while decent at release — suffered from an array of glitches and poor post-launch updates. Review info Platform reviewed: PC Available on: Xbox Series X|S, PC (coming to PS5 in 2026) Release date: May 19, 2026 Even though it’s operating well within the series’ trappings, Forza Horizon 6 is a breath of fresh air. The setting of Japan doesn’t disappoint, with impressively varied biomes and sublime vistas. From Tokyo City to the Japanese Alps and the gorgeous countryside and quaint little villages dotted in-between, there’s a ton of brilliant environmental design to marvel at. The game’s race events are greatly helped by this variety. The usual selecti...

BLUETTI Elite 400 review

BLUETTI Elite 400 is Bluetti’s largest portable power station in the Elite range to date, packing a huge 3840Wh LiFePO₄ battery alongside a substantial 2600W continuous output. It’s aimed at users who need serious portable power for home backup, off-grid living, campervan setups or demanding worksite use. And in many respects, it excels. The Elite 400 has enough power to comfortably run anything you’d realistically throw at it, while Bluetti’s app support and rapid charging capabilities make it one of the more polished large-capacity power stations currently available. (Image credit: Future) The specs are impressive, but the Elite 400 also feels oddly compromised in places. Bluetti has essentially reused the same interface and output layout found on smaller Elite models, and on a near-4kWh power station that starts to feel limiting. Most notably, you only get two AC sockets. Combined with the he...

I tested the Sony A7R VI and it’s perfect — seriously, Sony can stop making cameras now

Sony A7R VI: Two-minute review Highly-detailed images or blazing-fast performance — historically, you'd have to pick one or the other when choosing a camera. However, Sony has now given us both in one model — the A7R VI — and for me, it's the perfect mirrorless camera. I've shot everything from detail-rich landscapes to fast-moving wildlife photography while testing the A7R VI, and it hasn't missed a beat. I've really appreciated the huge number of pixels I have to play with, which means that heavily cropping into images is entirely possible. @techradar ♬ original sound - TechRadar Its new 66.8MP stacked full-frame sensor resolves more detail than the sensor in the 50MP A1 II — Sony's previous flagship camera for quality and performance — ...
