Software don’t go anywhere without Hardware.
The new SteelSeries range under the “Arctis Nova” banner have had a good showing thus far at the Cottage.
But up until now its only been the wired models we have looked at, the Nova 7 changes that. Wireless headsets are a complex beast.
But, there is noting to be worried about here, as the SteelSeries pedigree continues with a very solid set of cans.

A mere 3 months after reviewing the 610s, I’m fortunate enough to be back with the JBL Quantum 810 wireless.

The Logitech G923 steering wheel is not cheap, with its RRP around the $600+ NZD mark.
That is a lot of money, but in this particular case, its a strong argument for the adage…”you get what you pay for”.

A long time ago a mouse for me was a wired device with a dust gathering ball at its heart.
The Aerox 9 proves we are a long way past the days of white spirit soaked cotton-buds. Before getting the chance to review a ‘real’ gaming mouse, I wouldn’t walk past the budget mice.
I mean, they all point and click, right?
I’m never too proud to say I was wrong.

If the Commodore64 signified my formative years in gaming, then the Amiga 500 dragged me through my angsty teens.
The leap from 8-bit to 16-bit was enormous, the leap in quality and engagement groundbreaking.
Not forgetting the transition from twiddling Azimuth Heads on a tape drive to the joy of slotting in a floppy disc or six.
