All too often, gaming peripheral manufacturers resort to hyperbole when they introduce their latest and greatest products. Well, this time, Logitech just might have a legitimate claim if or when it declares that its new G910 Orion Spark is “the most advanced mechanical gaming keyboard in the world.” For one thing, the G910…..

August is usually the hottest month of the California summer season.  Perhaps appropriately, sales of electric/hybrid vehicles topped the 100 thousand mark sometime that month, demonstrating that interest in these types of vehicles is likewise heating up.

Open test benches are not for everyone, but for those who need to deal with their PC’s components often, they could prove to be a boon to efficiency. Puget Systems is a company that benefits greatly from using test benches, but it had a problem: None were perfect. So, the company decided to create its own, and that’s what we’re looking at here.

Just over two weeks ago, we brought you news on Saleen Automotive’s Foursixteen, a modified version of the all-electric Tesla Model S, and how it was making its debut at the prestigious Concourse d’Elegance in Monterey, CA.

Corsair’s Obsidian series of PC chassis represents the apex of the company’s offerings in the market. Innovative and user-friendly, they’ve also been overkill for most users. Now, though, the 450D has come onto the scene, intent on proving that the Obsidians shouldn’t be the exclusive preserve of users with deep pockets. Does it live up to its pedigree?

Steve Saleen is a name familiar to most auto enthusiasts. He made his name through the 1980s-90s modifying Ford Mustangs for higher performance and more aggressive aesthetics. At the turn of the 21st Century, Saleen started manufacturing his own supercar, the S7. The S7 was good enough to compete internationally, even setting…..

Throughout its history, football (not soccer) has seen much evolution and innovation on the field. From strictly a ground-based attack (a legacy of the game’s rugby roots) to the latest spread offenses with the QB slinging that ball all over the field, football has rarely stood still. It’s true on the defensive…..

Gaming gear of all types often incur a price premium. In some cases, the price hike compared to a non-gaming equivalent is enough to dissuade gamers with budgetary limits. GAMDIAS, a brand-new entrant into the red-hot gaming peripherals market, wants to challenge the notion that high quality means high cost for the…..

Codemasters has had the exclusive Formula 1 gaming license since 2009, and each year it has released a multi-platform game depicting that year’s F1 season. The 2014 Formula 1 season sees the racing series go through a revolution in its technical regulations, highlighted by a return to turbocharged power units not seen…..

In Greek mythology, Hyperion is one of the twelve Titans. His name translates to “the High One,” not to denote his predilection for enjoying whacko tobacco, but as a designation of his status.

Levi’s Stadium, the San Francisco 49ers’ new home, just had its ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 17, 2014. It is the NFL’s newest stadium, and, as befits its location in one of the most vibrant parts of Silicon Valley, it is also one of the most high-tech. For starters, the stadium is one…..

There’s no question about it: AIO water cooling solutions are here to stay. They’ve been around for CPUs; but what about GPUs? Arctic has that base covered, and it sent us its Accelero Hybrid II-120 with the unspoken promise that it is superior to any stock cooling solution. But just how good is it?

Kingston, known for its memory and storage solutions, is the latest one; its HyperX Cloud gaming headset is its first venture into the world of gaming audio. Will the Cloud bring rain on this parade, or will it shine through like a ray of sunshine?

I don’t know about you, but electric cars don’t really, um, electrify me too much. I mean, I like “green” solutions as much as the next guy, but I’m too selfish to give up my passion for all things automotive. Electric cars, as capable and as clean as they are, just aren’t…..
