Sound speaks volumes. Pun intended. When we are lost in our own little worlds, it’s often the ambience of sound that brings me back only to be lost again in the rhythm of the world around me. If I am going to get lost in sound, I want it to
Before joining the team at MKAU, I never really gave much thought to what headset I was using. Since I was mostly using them for game chat and the like, it never dawned on me how much difference a good set of headphones would make. I mean, it’s just listening
Clutter, I live in a life of clutter. Every extra-curricular activity I partake in whether it be reviewing, gaming, streaming or even watching the box lately, happens at my desk. I really don’t have a lot of room anymore amongst all the peripherals I utilise in my day to day
I’ve been keeping a secret for a long time. I’m ashamed to admit that it has been a hard couple of weeks, but I think I am finally ready to let you all know. I’ve been cheating on my Razer Basilisk. There. I said it. You can all judge me
Ever since I bought my first PlayStation 1, I’ve always been a cheapskate when it comes to buying new controllers or memory cards. I didn’t see a need to fork out for official gear when I can pay half the price for something that did the exact same thing, though
Straight up, I will say to you that if you have come here looking for all of the detailed specs to satisfy your nerd-ish needs, you won’t find them here. I will also tell you that you will find what my real-world use of the RX580 was like and that
Mobile gaming isn’t for everyone, however it can be incredibly addictive. When Call Of Duty Mobile dropped early, we at MKAU were obsessed. Alternatively, though that community is divided over the use of controllers to get that competitive edge. While, I don’t really care too much about the argument, there
When I was younger, I never really spent much time thinking about which headset I should buy. Every couple of months I’d be spending around twenty dollars on a headset, and it would usually end up being one of those really cheap and nasty sets from your discount variety stores.
We’re all gamers, and don’t HyperX know it. Providing the community with various gaming peripherals they certainly have the gamers needs in mind whether it be for the casuals or pros. Their newest HyperX Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is now on the market, but does it shape up to
I’ve had the opportunity to get my hands on the latest Sennheiser GSP 370 Wireless Gaming Headset, compatible with PlayStation 4 and PC and I was instantly impressed out the box at how sturdy it was; they just feel solid in construction with a simple but effective design. he physical
The Viper is one of Razer’s newest ambidextrous, wired gaming mouse. Razer are always about smashing out products for gamers, by gamers that are quality but more importantly Esports quality for the consumer. Endorsed by MIBR’s Taco from the CS:GO scene, does it really shape up for an average Joe
Made in Sweden, The M4 RBG from Xtrfy is certainly different looking. Being their newest mouse on the market, set to be released this October at a RRP of about $59.00, this highly anticipated mouse, is all the talk. So, what does MKAU have to say about it? Man, do
The Yeti X is one beast of a USB microphone. It is a lot bigger than its Nano counterpart by the company Blue, but comes in the same style and shape, just up-scaled. Mounted on a solid metal stand, this mic isn’t moving anywhere, reducing vibration pick up and ensuring
As someone who works for a video games website, you’d think I would stream more than I currently do. Part of the reason for this is the lack of a good setup. Log into other people’s streams and you see epic computer systems, ridiculously comfortable chairs, flashy keyboards and of
I’ve said this before, openly and without shame I’ll say it again, with technology I am as vain as it comes. While my colleagues are chasing pure power in products, my first go to question is, does it look good? Then, does it match the rest of my set up?
Athletes in all sporting codes train and work hard to be the best in their chosen sport. Not only is the right training crucial to becoming the best but having the right tools to get you there is also just as important. e-Sports is no different. Granted some will argue
Most gamers want the edge on the competition. No longer are we living in the days of the tracking ball mouse of our past, we want even our mice to be quick and efficient, so how does the S1 and S2 from the BenQ Zowie S series of e-sports mice,
Last time I reviewed a gaming mouse, I opened by saying that I never really understood why people wanted to buy things that were so expensive; why they needed something that was so heavy. To be honest, I still kind of feel that way. Sure, I like the way it
Gaming is an ever evolving industry, with mobile gaming whether we want to admit it or not, a lucrative business. People want that quick, competitive fix on the go now, and with mobile gaming swiftly growing in popularity, this trend isn’t going anywhere soon. It makes sense then that many
XANOVA are very new on the gaming scene but have been making large headway in the Asian gaming market, as of late. They have a range of gaming accessories such as mice, mouse pads and key boards, all inspired by Italian flair and stylings, however they have only recently moved
Audio is important in our household. Whether it be cleaning the house on a Sunday morning, old school tunes blaring, high octane background music hyping me up for an epic gaming session on a fave shooter or mellow instrumental playlists to set the mood for the train to sleepy town
I already use a BlackWidow Tournament Edition I personally bought back in an EB sale a couple of years ago. I love how it is small and compact it is as I already have a cluttered work area, but how will its big brother the Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
I’ll be honest, I never really saw the point in buying things like elite controllers. On top of that, once I was able to buy my own gear, it was always the genuine brand stuff. I generally found aftermarket controllers for the most part, to be a disappointment. They just
I can honestly say that I didn’t think a keyboard would make such a difference to my typing. Let’s face it, the keys are for the most part all in the same spot. What else really is there? Today while working my 9-5 I realised just how much a good
Alienware. A brand that for many years has been known as one of the founders of PC gaming equipment. Be it high performance computers, keyboards or mice, Alienware is a brand that you can utter and everyone will know that you are talking about quality products. Now I’ll admit, being
Ahhh, Alienware, how I love thee. Since I got my Alienware X17 laptop a few years back, I have been a big fan of Alienware. The sleekness of their designs, the sharp edges and the bold lines. I was recently given the opportunity to review one of their mice, and
As a society we are always on the go. We want everything in our lives small, efficient and portable. One of the things I do the most on the go is listening. Listening to the world around, voices, video game content and to my music. Having sound directed straight to
Streamers and podcasters alike are the modern-day celebrities. Especially in the gaming world. To build that effective connection with their audience, they need to be able to communicate with clarity and quality. The voice is a powerful tool to convey a message, so the tech we use should be pivotal
Those small, corrugated, clear, plastic mats for your computer chairs,that always look like they were bought in the 80’s, we all know at least someone that has one. Designed to protect your carpet, and bond money, I always cringe when I see one glistening in its vinyl tackiness. Thank god,
Human beings sit a lot in our lifetimes, I, myself pretty much collapse in a seat the moment I finish my day job. In saying that, don’t we deserve to splurge a bit in an activity we vigorously partake in each day? Now at MKAU Gaming we are rocking chairs
