The PowerA Fusion Pro 3 is a solid option if you’re looking for a wired alternative to the official Xbox Wireless Controller. Manufactured under the Designed for Xbox seal of quality, you can expect a competent – if somewhat unremarkable – controller from PowerA here. Where the Fusion Pro 3 shines is with its extra features that you won’t find on Microsoft’s Xbox Series X |S pack-in pad. Four fully programmable rear buttons are an excellent addition to the controller, and can be mapped easily using the Program button located on the back.The 3-way trigger locks, mic volume switch, swappable thumbsticks and faceplate all also work as intended and are extremely welcome additions. What lets the PowerA Fusion Pro 3 down, relative to the best Xbox controllers in its price range, is overall build quality and feel. For all its pro-adjacent features, the gamepad has cut some corners in terms of design. That’s especially apparent with the cheap-feeling triggers and shoulder buttons. Overall, ...

Chances are you’ve come across the name Audio-Technica if you’re at all familiar with audio equipment. The brand has been making some of the best headphones for decades. This latest USB microphone, the AT2020USB-X, builds on the foundations laid by the previous entries in the AT2020 models to deliver on the promise of one of the best microphones for streaming and one of the best USB microphones around.  If you want to get involved in game streaming, then the Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X provides an excellent high-quality starting point for online creation. You’re not getting the full range of XLR dynamics here, but for its size and price, there’s little to fault with this punchy little performer.  Price and Availability The Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X was released in August and is currently available for $149 / £116 / AU$209 in the US, the UK, and Australia, respectively. As a point of comparison, that’s roughly $20 / £20 / AU$30, more expensive than what you can currently...

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023): Two-minute review If news about Razer launching the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is giving you a sense of déjà vu, it’s probably because the gaming headset was originally released back in 2020. As bizarre as it may seem, Razer has taken its popular headset and re-released it with some key improvements. Now, I’m not exactly sure why the company didn’t just roll out an entirely new model with an incrementally new name, but it may have something to do with the fact that the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is really more of an update rather than a proper upgrade. That is, the drivers are the same, and the overall design is largely similar. Of course, that isn’t to say that this new and improved version isn’t worth checking out. Razer has essentially taken an already excellent device – and one of the best wireless gaming headsets I’ve tested – and made it a lot better with longer battery life, a clearer and crisper mic, and an even better fit. So, if you didn’...

LG Gram Style: Two-minute review LG seems to be targeting a specific audience that loves some of the best ultrabooks on the market, with its sleek, lightweight, and very stylish LG Gram Style. This ultrabook stretches light to its absolute limits, as the laptop weighs less than three pounds despite the 16-inch display size. It’s honestly incredible how little this laptop weighs, and how beautiful it looks. The Gram Style is a lovely white color, but what makes it even more striking is the pearlescent finish that seems to glow and change color depending on how light hits it. Its display is also quite impressive, as even the base model is an OLED panel with 2.8K resolution while the other versions hit 3K. The screen supports HDR with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, making it (theoretically) excellent for creative projects as well. Another highlight is the backlit keyboard, which has this satisfying snappy feedback that along with its well-sized keys makes for a...

The OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock is a Thunderbolt  docking station  with a power supply built-in, making it more portable and a bit larger in its footprint. It offers a good array of ports and is a clear contender for hybrid workers, creatives on the go, and digital nomads alike. FlexiSpot E7Q Odin Unboxing  (Image credit: Future) Unboxing and First Impresssions Unboxing was probably the least exciting part of using the Thunderbolt Go over the last few weeks. The dock itself, a Thunderbolt cable, and the AC adapter are in the box, and its packaging is simple, and there was no need for extra packing materials to ensure no damage, as this dock can easily withstand a bump or two. Specs Ports : 1x Thunderbolt 4 host (40Gb/s), 2x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB-C 3.2 (10Gb/s), 2x USB-A 3.2 (10Gb/s), 1x USB-A 2.0, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x 2.5 Gb Ethernet RJ-45, 1x 3.5mm Audio, SD Card Dimensions : 1.4 x 9.5 x 3.6in / 3.6 x 24.1 x 9.2cm Weight : 2.09lb / 949g We immediately apprec...

If you’re a small business that has fewer employees than a large corporation then some of the best payroll software out there might seem a little more than you need.

The Razer Kaira Pro Hyperspeed for PS5 is the latest console-focused headset from the boutique gaming manufacturer. Armed with the same 50mm TriForce Titanium drivers and HyperSense haptics as the original model, this minor revision, which features the brand’s Hyperspeed low latency wireless connectivity, makes for a solid product but doesn’t address our issues with the first Razer Kaira Pro for PlayStation .   If you’re after one of the best PS5 headsets in 2023, then the Razer Kaira Pro Hyperspeed for PS5 could be worth considering. However, it’s a little too expensive and lacking in wow factor to wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wanting a truly premium audio experience on the PS5 .   Price and Availability The Razer Kaira Pro Hyperspeed for PS5 was released in March 2023 and is currently available in the US, the UK, and Australia for $199.99 / £199.99 / AU$369. It’s exactly the same price as the standard Razer Kaira Pro PlayStation model from 2022; a move that makes ...

Cal Kestis, Jedi Knight, just can’t catch a break. Whether it’s his constant persecution at the hands of the Empire, the exhaustive gauntlet of tricky climbs and jumps he must face, or the yawning gulfs of emotional distance he seems compelled to place between himself and his friends, poor Cal rarely seems to be having a good day.  However, given that this is the dark second act of a potential trilogy , bleakness is very much in vogue, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is stronger for it. Available on Xbox X |S, PS5 , and PC, Respawn Entertainment’s latest title delivers on the Jedi Knight fantasy, couching its mostly engaging story with a commitment to immersion that leaps from the game’s environments at every turn. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an ambitious and impressive beast, held back by a slow second act and overreliance on Uncharted -esque traversal sections.  Across the 20-hour main campaign, Cal’s adventure takes us from the planet-sized metropolis of Coruscant , to th...
