Not that long ago we took a look at our first FNATIC gear product, which was the miniStreak and boy did it impress us, I actually still use it daily! Already impressed with the miniStreak I was excited to take a look at a mouse from FNATIC. Today we have their Flick2 which is a light-weight professional-grade esports mouse for gamers who like a more symmetrical feel. The mouse features the Pixart 3360 12000 DPI optical sensor and OMRON switches. FNATIC says this mouse supports both palm and claw-grip users, so is it the perfect gaming mouse for you? Read on as we find out!

Over the past year we've reviewed a handful of different gaming chairs. These were from brands that were quite well known. Recently we've been contacted from quite a few companies selling gaming chairs on Amazon who we had never heard of before. The prices are quite low too. While we originally turned down these offers to review such chairs, we decided to check one out to see if there was a difference between these chairs and the name brand chairs we've already taken a look at. So today we have the Sunmae Gaming Chair, which comes in at $164 on Amazon, making one of the cheapest gaming chairs available.

As the name suggests, the Surge is part of the HyperX Pulsefire line, and offers great hardware like a Pixart 3389 sensor and Omron switches, as well as 360-degree RGB LED lighting effects. In addition to the standard gaming mouse options, the Surge gives users access to HyperX NGenuity, a software application that delivers extra customization options.

Let's face it, the world of mechanical gaming keyboards has been over-saturated for quite a while now. It makes choosing a keyboard these days quite hard and just a lengthy process. While many companies have gone over the top with lights and other gimmicks many of us just want a solid keyboard that performs. Cooler Master thinks their new CK552 is the answer, as their tagline for the keyboard is "No-nonsense, no-compromise". This full-size gaming keyboard features Gateron mechanical key switches, RGB backlighting, and a pretty simple design that will look great on any desk or setup. What's even better is the price at only $86.99 at our favorite online retailer. That price makes it very attractive, especially for gamers who want to put as much money as they can into their graphics card, memory, etc.

If you are into eSports you've probably heard of FNATIC, they currently have professional teams for some of the most popular games out there like CS:GO, DOTA2, League of Legends, Fortnite, and Rocket League. Typically professional eSports teams are sponsored by peripheral brands who supply their gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, etc for these professional gamers to use. FNATIC went a different route and has created their own gaming "gear" line called FNATIC Gear, offering keyboards, mice, headsets, and mousepads. Are these just cheap products with the FNATIC logo on them? Or are they quality gaming products designed to give you the competitive edge? Today we are checking out our first FNATIC product, the miniStreak, which is a tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard. It features an anodized aluminium top plate, Cherry MX mechanical key switches, and full RGB backlighting backed up with some pretty awesome software. Let's jump in and see what this keyboard can do.

Ah the gaming headset, just like any type of gaming product these days the market is saturated making it hard for you the consumer to choose which headset is the best for you. Typically as consumers we grade products based on their price, but a lot of the time the quality and performance do not match the price. Today we are checking out a gaming headset that comes in at a very affordable $49, but offers some amazing performance. That headset is the Cougar Phontum which features 53 mm dual-chamber drivers, two different sizes of included earpads, and a sleek design. Cougar says this headset was "created for those who want to enjoy great audio in long gaming sessions" and we are going to put that to the test.

One of Rosewill's latest keyboard designs is the NEON K81 RGB, a mechanical keyboard with per-key RGB illumination, as well as a configurable RGB outer rim. Available with either Blue or Brown Kailh switches, the K81 is a full sized keyboard with a subtle but stylish look.

AZIO started this whole retro keyboard thing back in 2016 with the MK Retro keyboard. A year later they took things even further with the Retro Classic, which added a real metal frame and different surface materials to truly give it that classic typewriter look and feel. This year AZIO has updated the keyboard once again, first they have added Bluetooth functionality as well as making the keyboard compatible with both PC and Mac systems. Next we have a new color-design which is called Elwood. It features a metal frame around the keyboard with the top-plate being made of real wood. Of course you have those iconic circular keycaps and mechanical key switches as well. Let's take a look at this truly unique keyboard...

If you have spent any time at all in the PC gaming world, then you are sure to have come across Thermaltake in one way or another. When I first got into the PC building...

Corsair sells a lot of gaming keyboard, pretty much everyone I know rocks a Corsair gaming keyboard. Corsair's mechanical gaming keyboards are great, but one thing they are not is wireless, until now. Corsair announced their K63 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard earlier this year at CES and we've been testing it out for the past few weeks. While typically wireless and gaming didn't go together Corsair's new Unplug and Play initiative brings with it super-fast 1ms 2.4 GHz wireless technology. We saw this on Corsair's Dark Core RGB wireless gaming mouse and it worked flawlessly. So you are getting that great Corsair design and quality, Cherry MX mechanical switches, and no wires at all! On top of that Corsair also makes a lapboard for the K63 for all of those who want to game on a big screen on the couch. Let's jump in and see what the K63 Wireless is all about!
