With the rerelease of Oblivion potentially happening as you read this, fans of The Elder Scrolls are going to have a full plate.
Lets face it. I am ready to drop another 100 hours into Oblivion. But The Elder Scrolls Online will endure. I still regularly return to Tamriel.

There’s a moment in Indiana Jones & the Great Circle when I suddenly realised that exploring tombs filled with mummified remains on your own with only a lighter for company must be a pretty terrifying thing to do.

I’ve reviewed a few keyboards over the years and just when I think I have my favourite, another comes along to fill that much prized top spot.
Currently in the top spot is Logitech’s Pro X TKL Rapid keyboard, the subject of this write up.

Christmas was upon us, and so was the time to buy prezzies for loved ones, or more importantly, buy cool shit for yourself. Cool shit like something that allows you to play PS5 games, lying prone on the couch, while recovering from too much Ham and Potato Salad!
