Review: KVAGO for iPad Air 2 Case with Keyboard

This is a very neat and compact keyboard case that transforms your iPad Air 2 into a mini Macbook. I was very impressed with how nice this case was, with a premium feel and fantastic keyboard. The keys are well spaced and very easy to use, despite this being relatively compact. I was able to […]

NSPCC Book Profit Donations

Right now, O2 UK are collaborating with the NSPCC, to make the internet a safer place for kids. It’s a great cause, and one I’m eager to help support in any way I can. I often come up with outrageous ideas for fundraising, but sometimes it’s the simplest idea that works the best. Between now, […]

Review: GreeGear Legend G9021 Mobile Gaming Wireless Bluetooth Controller

Getting a controller right tends to be a pretty difficult job, especially when it comes to the low end price point. This device looks great, but the question is does it perform? Well, I’m happy to say that it works pretty well, especially considering the price. It feels comfortable in the hand, and for anyone […]

Review: DBPOWER Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I’ve never used a mechanical keyboard before, but I’ve always wanted to try one. I can safely say that this is one of the nicest keyboards I’ve used, with responsive keys which are very easy to navigate.

Review: Crenova 720P HD WIFI Home Surveillance IP Camera

Despite the fact that the instructions were very poorly written, the end result is an awesome wireless camera that I can access anywhere from my smartphone. It is small, compact, and feels very premium. At first glance I thought everything would be cheap plastic, but after unboxing it all, I was surprised to find that […]

Review: Razer Nabu Watch Forged Edition

Review: Microsoft HD-500 Dock

One of the big features that we got to see with the newly announced Lumia 950 and 950 XL, was Continuum. After picking up my 950 I tried Continuum using wireless methods, and they worked pretty well, but with noticeable lag. Finally, I managed to get myself a Microsoft dock and took Continuum out for […]
