REVIEW – I recently reviewed Keychron’s K4 HE mechanical keyboard, and loved it so much I immediately bought a second one when my partner stole the review unit for her own use. Since I don’t do a lot of 10-key work these days, I jumped at the opportunity to review the new K8 HE keyboard, […]

REVIEW – I haven’t strapped on a pair of skates in decades, but I have fond memories of skating rinks and street hockey as an 80s/90s kid. I loved being able to get around my neighborhood in style, so there was definitely a bit of nostalgia contributing to my willingness to try out the Flying
Flying Eagle F5S+ Inline Skates review – solid build and lots of 90s flashbacks Read More
REVIEW – I’ve flown drones since the earliest days of cheap(ish) consumer drones, including the DJI Spark in 2017. Since then, I’ve used quite a few DJI drones, ranging from Mini’s and Air’s up to various Mavics (which are bigger and heavier than the sub-250g compact drone type). I’ve also used other brands like the

REVIEW – I’ve had some great opportunities here at the Gadgeteer to try out a variety of crafting tools like laser cutters/engravers and 3D printers, but one product type has eluded me so far: the CNC machine. That changes today, since I’ve had the pleasure of checking out the LUNYEE 3018 Pro Ultra CNC Machine

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed and owned quite a few Ebikes (and non-E bikes) during my lifetime, but one style has eluded me thus far: the cafe racer (also known as “scrambler” or moped) style Ebike. I see more and more riders zooming around on these bikes in my town and I’ve always wondered what they’re

REVIEW – Many people are still work-from-home and also want to game or do personal computing at the same desk that they work from at home, and that’s where a KVM can help. I personally have to switch between computers fairly often and end up swapping 2 or 3 cables a few times a week
REVIEW – Full disclosure: I’ve been an Asus fan-person for years now, having owned multiple laptops, video cards, motherboards, and other accessories made by the brand. However, I’ve never tried an Asus ROG-branded headset yet, and recently my partner commandeered my treasured Logitech Astro A30 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset since it was the only headset

REVIEW – I’m a bit of a scooter fan since my first electric scooter review for the Gadgeteer back in 2022. I’ve reviewed or purchased for myself at least half a dozen scooters since that first review since they’re such a great way to get around town while also being fun (and they function especially

REVIEW – I’ve been using my trusty MUNBYN RW401AP Thermal Label Printer pretty heavily since I reviewed it over a year ago. I have printed hundreds of shipping labels as well as Amazon barcodes for my 3D printing business, but switching between the large shipping and small label sizes has grown tedious since I have

REVIEW – I had the pleasure of reviewing the Inmotion E20 electric unicycle (EUC) last year, and it’s been a regular item for me to grab when I go on short rides, but it does feel slow now that I’ve gotten better on it. Inmotion offered an upgrade to the new V9 EUC that they

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few thermal imaging cameras here at the Gadgeteer, but long-range ones are rarer than the frequent reviews we get for short-range models. I’ve been thrilled to spot bighorn sheep and mountain goats during hikes near my house recently and jumped at the chance to add a long-range thermal camera
REVIEW – I’ve built “bricks” since I was a kid in the 80’s, ranging from the smallest of sets to a life-consuming 11,000 piece custom Star Destroyer model in 2020 (which was a blast). I haven’t had time to build as much lately, but when I had the opportunity to review the Funwhole Steampunk watch

REVIEW – My wife has been asking for a garage fridge for years, but it seems like something’s always taken priority whenever we get a bit of extra money. I would never have even thought to look at display coolers like the Bodega Single door display cooler, but when the review offer came into my
Bodega Single door display cooler review – a great cooler with eye-catching appeal Read More
REVIEW – I have been a coffee lover for most of my life (starting with coffee-flavored Jelly Belly’s in childhood). After my young adult years drinking office coffee and cheap K-cups at home, I realized how much joy a good espresso brought me. I’ve used everything from terrible <$50 espresso machines to >$1k fully automatic

REVIEW – I reviewed the BLUETTI Swapsolar Multicooler last year, but when we took it on a weekend trip, we realized it was much larger than we needed for a short trip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good smaller cooler ever since, and the offer to review the BODEGACOOLER 12 volt Car Refrigerator

REVIEW – I’ve gone through dozens of keyboards in my years working and gaming with computers, ranging from the worst mushy cheap keyboards in my college days to some very excellent mechanical keyboards in recent years. I even bought a couple of Keychron’s K1 Pro slim keyboards for me and my partner, which have been

REVIEW – The flood of Mini PCs continues unabated. I’ve personally reviewed a half dozen of these useful little PCs over the years, and while they keep getting better, the sheer number of models is starting to become hard to differentiate. I had to double check my notes and pictures multiple times while writing this
ACEMAGIC W1 AMD Ryzen™ 7 8745HS Mini PC review – pretty fast for yet another Mini PC Read More
REVIEW – I dislike mowing the lawn so much that I finally entered the middle-age era of paying neighbor kids to do it in recent years. We have about a quarter acre of grass, and it is a chore I’d rather avoid if possible. Unfortunately, our last lawn mower has moved on, so the timing

REVIEW – I grew up hearing the Benjamin Franklin saying “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”. I would propose an updated version for our modern era: “…except death, taxes, and using ‘AI’ in every tech product imaginable”. Here at the Gadgeteer, we’re a “No-AI in our reviews”

REVIEW – For the past few years, I’ve relied on backpacks to carry my laptop and tablet when traveling. However, there have been moments when I found myself wishing for a quality laptop bag as an alternative. The Waterfield Designs Shinjuku Laptop Brief immediately caught my eye as something likely to last for a long
