REVIEW – My large full size keyboard at my workstation has been a bit of overkill: I rarely use the number pad and could definitely use that space to the right for more mouse space. I was excited to review the Epomaker SK21 numpad and move to a smaller everyday keyboard. Overall I’m pretty pleased

REVIEW – If you’re like me and have been using a full size keyboard including a 10-key number pad for most of your life, the world of tiny keyboards can be a bit of a shock. Just last year I started experimenting with different keyboard layouts (I don’t need numpad as often as I used

REVIEW – Around here we’re big fans of HyperX products. Earlier this year I reviewed their Pulsefire Haste gaming mouse, and I still use it every day for gaming. I also reviewed the Cloud Revolver gaming headset, which I gave to my wife, and she uses it every day to teach English online. Today I’m

For those of us who split our time between working and playing on the same computer, trying to find a setup that works

REVIEW – When it comes to computer gear, I am pretty picky about the keyboard that I use. After all, I interact with this peripheral all day long, so it has to match the way I work and my computer set up. During the day, I set behind a desk with my MacBook connected to

REVIEW – Most of my leisure time these days is spent playing Dota 2, so to support my keyboard-mashing habit, last year I bought a really nice keyboard, a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate. It’s a super study mechanical keyboard that can take a lot of abuse. It is, however, a wired keyboard. As a gamer, I

REVIEW – As I’m sure the Gadgeteer Kid, my wife, and many friends & family would attest to, I’m pretty old school.

I’m a touch typist who loves a good, “clicky” keyboard. For a while I’ve been intrigued with the TKL or ten keyless models that only have 61 keys without the number pad attached. This allows for portability, since some laptops just have terrible keyboards (I’m looking at you, 2016 and newer MacBooks). I also game
