Kioxia Exceria Plus 1Tb microSD Review

The Kioxia Exceria Plus microSD card is a UHS-I SD card intended for digital photography/videography or use in Android platforms that’s equally well suited for use in the Steam Deck. The 1Tb version reviewed here still seems to be unobtainium,…

Kobotix Real Racer FPV, RC Car Review

The Real Racer from Kobotix is a fast, precise and compact remote control car that handles beautifully and is a joy to zip around your living room. It doesn’t stop there, though; on top is a small camera which provides…

Lunistice Review

Lunistice perfectly captures what I remember playing PSX games feeling like. Yet it’s not wholly stuck in that nostalgic past. It fuses the charming low-poly style of the 32bit era with a vibrant, visually cohesive set of environments, responsive modern…

JSAUX OmniCase Pro Review

You might be familiar with JSAUX for their dizzying range of SteamDeck accessories, but these are far from their only strength. Enter the OmniCase Pro which, despite its name, is actually a USB Type-C dock. But, wait, it’s also a…

The Bowfell Plus is a compact soundbar/subwoofer pair with a keen price and a solid complement of features. It’s an excellent companion to a low-cost projector, a tidy way to turn your mobile phone into a jukebox and will even…

Anker’s 737 power bank is an expensive, exuberant, energy edifice combining scarily fast output and input into a fast-charging fast charger that leaves you wanting for very little… save, perhaps, a lighter battery technology. And fewer caveats around the USB…

ScanWatch 42mm Black Review

I feel like I’m preaching to the choir when I write about ScanWatch; I’m so often met with “I have one and it’s excellent.” But that doesn’t mean it should go unsaid. The ScanWatch is excellent. Hard to photograph! pic.twitter.com/7xRsK4Cy1M…

Hitstream Rhythm-based Fitness on the Meta Quest 2 Review

Hitstream might first appear a frenetic mess of uncoordinated flailing, but this rhythm fitness game has a way of puppeting your body into a sort of robotic dance. A painful, energetic, robotic dance. But a dance, nonetheless. With little frame…

Wemax Dice Portable 1080p Projector Review

The Wemax Dice is almost everything I wanted the Wemax Go Advance to be. The chunky, cube-shaped Dice brings all the picture wrangling 4-point multi dimensional keystoning smarts I loved from the Go Advanced, swaps out FengOS for a proper…
