From Alienware, a subsidiary brand of Dell, comes the Alienware m16 R2 Gaming laptop. MKAU got the chance to try out this device, and needlessly to say, there are worse laptops you can buy with your hard-earned cash. Firstly, if you’re looking to purchase an Alienware M16 R2 Gaming laptop,
I’d never really given much thought to power supplies when I’ve built PCs in the past. So long as I had a high enough wattage to support what I was placing inside a case, I was good. It didn’t matter that I struggled to hide the excess wires, haphazardly cramming
If you ever plan on overclocking your PC, you want to make sure that you have a really good cooling system to deal with the extra heat it will generate. Sure, you could cover your case in fans, or you could stick a giant heatsink onto the board, but liquid

Backbone is a great product released by Backbone Labs Inc. that transforms your boring old mobile phone into a gaming machine, and there are a couple of different options you can choose from. The first option is similar to the Xbox controller, while the other is more of a Playstation
Founded in 2001, but famously coined SteelSeries in 2007, this ostentatious company has come a long way from their initial products the ‘Icemat’ and ‘SteelPad’ mouse mats. With a wide range of products now, SteelSeries has expanded to cover all your needs as a gamer. Introducing the ‘SteelSeries Arctis Nova
With my focus shifting towards internal PC hardware, I’ve spent a fair amount of time pulling my system apart, installing items for review, testing them out, and then rebuilding back to what it was. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if it wasn’t also my work computer, but it
One of my least favourite things about putting together a desktop PC is dealing with the Motherboard. It could just be the way I’ve put them together, but I’ve always found the connectors to be fiddly, and more often than not, they can be in some truly awkward positions. As
Once, the humble mouse pad used to be the absolute must-have accessory for using your PC. For those who remember using the humble trackball mouse, the mouse pad added the much-needed friction necessary to move your pointer around. Now, this once humble must-have is often one of the most overlooked

I’ve never really thought about mobile phones when it comes to gaming. I know they can do it, but it’s never been high on my list of priorities when I’ve been looking at upgrading, and I tend to stick to what I know, as I’m sure many others do. I’ve
Like its Gaulish meaning for ‘horn’, the ‘ROG ‘Carnyx’ USB Gaming Microphone’ demands attention, like horns blowing in a grand introduction. Drawing an even deeper connection, like ancient horns were used for communication across the land, this is one microphone from the ‘Republic of Gamers’ that creates a fabulous conversational
Whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or run a business from home, we all struggle to find space on our storage devices. We are always searching for a drive that will provide us with the space we need for our precious data while being able to access it as fast
SteelSeries are smashing out some new products and they are not holding back on the features and designs of their new products. I’m starting to see more and more smaller keyboards hitting the market which are perfect for someone who does not want to use too much real estate on
My first observation of the ‘Mad Catz R.A.T. Pro X3 Gaming Mouse’ was “What the hell is this, a transformer toy”? Its peculiar design with sharp angles certainly made me wonder how such a mouse could be comfortable, let alone improve on gaming performance. Nonetheless, Mad Catz has been around
ROG is becoming renowned for its high-performing peripherals for gaming, and the ROG Strix Impact III Wireless Mouse is no exception. MKAU has been given the chance to check out this device thanks to the team at ROG. Opening the box, the mouse is protected in a small black fabric
The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a compelling option for those in the market for a mid-range GPU. It strikes a fine balance between cost and performance, catering to both gamers and creators. As the GPU market continues to evolve, the RX 7700 XT stands as a testament to AMD’s commitment to providing competitive options across different price segments.
The moment you see ROG “Republic of Gamers’ on the box, you know you are in for a treat. Republic of Gamers have now released their latest wireless earbuds, the ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova Earbuds, and they did not disappoint. Even the price surprised me massively. The earbuds have
I’m a dedicated PC gamer, and I’ve always sworn by the desktop I’ve built and upgraded myself over the years. I’m not new to laptops, however, and I’ve owned a few over the years, and there’s currently one in my arsenal, which, although rarely used, does the job when I’m
Taiwanese technology manufacturer, ‘ASUS’, has long had a relationship with the brand ‘Republic of Gamers’, since 2006 to be exact, and thank god, because they are a match made in heaven. Delivering a vast range of devices and peripherals, Republic of Gamers promises to produce ‘out-of-this-world experiences’ but does their
Republic of Gamers is back in 2024 with a beautiful compact keyboard and for someone who has never used a 65% keyboard, this was a product I loved using from start to finish. The ROG Falchion Ace is their newest 65% keyboard with pre-lubed ROG NX mechanical switches, an interactive
From laptops and handhelds to motherboards and keyboards, hell let’s even throw in phones, ‘Republic Of Gamers’ seems to make everything gamers need. With the philosophy ‘Technology never sleeps, nor should the action’, I humbly agree that it isn’t fun until you are fully immersed in it. Compatible and supported

FIFINE Microphone, established back in 2009, provided MKAU with their brand new budget headset, the FIFINE Ampligame H9 Headset, and I put the headset through its paces on the PC, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch, but being a budget headset, how did it fair? The first thing I noticed

Way back in 2017, Elgato launched the Stream Deck, a must-have accessory for anyone who streams, as it makes controlling their scenes, as well as most used functions, and commands, a walk in the park. Their first Stream Deck included 15 LCD keys for the ultimate control. They then released
I must admit, I have a soft spot for Skullcandy. They are definitely a company that does not like to fit into the conventional mould. A square peg in a round hole, and I respect that. I still often reach for my SLYR headset for my everyday gaming sessions because
It’s always exciting when a new computer turns up at the office. Even when I was working in a retail environment, I had fun unpacking new computers and laptops, just so I could check them out before anyone else, and it’s only fair that trend continues. Seeing as Alienware had
