I’m hesitant to say there is an “entry level” market for mechanical keyboard. The industry and product is serious business–few people jump into mechanical keyboards as dedicated PC gamers, and they know exactly what they are looking for. Sure, there are $40 well-reviewed keyboards over on Amazon, but you are sacrificing both build quality and
Hardware
Long gone are the days when the budget gamer could settle for low-cost, disposable headsets as their only option for chatting in multiplayer titles. By quickly checking Amazon for cheap gaming headsets you can find a range of products easily below $50 with RGB, noise canceling, and cross-console compatibility. But so many of these are
Razer peripherals are moving towards a rebrand, trying to capture more cost-conscious gamers that don’t want to make a sacrifice when it comes to their performance. And boy is that market there — I’ve previously scoured Amazon looking for the most cost-effective gaming mouse, and $25 options just don’t cut it on build quality. In steps
When I first heard about Shadow–the cloud-based gaming service–I was excited. When I loaded it up for the first time in Starbucks on Jamaica Ave–I was impressed. When I loaded up the Shadow Ghost–I was disappointed. Shadow is pretty simple to understand after you’ve explained it to all your friends and family twice. There’s a
Sure, BioWare’s upcoming open-world shooter Anthem had major speedbumps in its VIP Demo — but is it still your most anticipated game of 2019? And are you looking to jump into the Xbox One family of consoles? Lucky for you, Microsoft is bundling together a brand new Xbox One S Anthem Bundle that shouldn’t be ignored. The
We’ve assumed that the PlayStation Classic was underperforming when it comes to sales, but a viral photo spreading across Twitter and Reddit seemed little far-fetched. So before we dive into the meat of the story, let’s get this straight. No, the PlayStation Classic is not getting a price drop at Walmart to $25. At least… not
AVerMedia is a company you’ll no doubt have heard of if you’ve looked into streaming. They’ve got a range of capture cards, both internal and external, sound bars, and even headphones.

Much like Oculus with the announcement of the Quest in late 2018, HTC has today announced the Vive COSMOS, a new standalone VR headset. HTC made the announcement today during its CES keynote address ahead of the start of the show later this week. Cosmos will require no external tracking when compared to other Vive
If we are taking Amazon sales to be an indicator of quality of life for sales, it looks like PlayStation Classic may be in some trouble. Less than three weeks after the launch of the PlayStation Classic, retailer Amazon has dropped the price from the MSRP of $100 by nearly a third — in other
Having keyboard and mouse support on the Xbox One is strange, especially for a PC player. We’ve all seen the competitive edge that the characters, punctuation, and digits can give players when competing against controllers in cross-play games like Fortnite. It shouldn’t be a surprise though that Xbox is now supporting Keyboard and Mouse since you
In the past, I wrote about my dissatisfaction with Nintendo’s lackluster smorgasbord of Switch variants. While the Pokémon: Let’s Go pair of Switch bundles offer a refreshingly colorful (and non-neon!) set of Joy-Con, I ultimately concluded that Nintendo’s current fleet of Switch designs are entirely too tasteful. While I could understand why someone would want
With the recent refresh of the Razer Blade, many people were expecting refreshes for the other models in Razer’s laptop lineup. Today, Razer announced the new Razer Blade Stealth as well as specifications regarding the laptops new smaller and lighter design. Despite having a smaller form factor, the Razer Blade Stealth packs a tiny (but
Hey everyone, long time no chat! This is Lou Contaldi, Editor-in-Chief of DualShockers and I’m looking for your help. If you’ve been a frequent reader, you may have noticed that DualShockers design looked… dated. Not much has changed since when DualShockers first started in 2009. While it may be a streamlined way to get to
Shadow is a company that recently began offering off-site virtual gaming PCs for a monthly subscription, but is their service the solution to getting into PC gaming? You may have started seeing ads on Facebook or Reddit for Shadow, a subscription-based PC gaming service that promises top-tier gaming performance for $34.95, or for $24.95 if

This new keyboard comes after the previous version, the BlackWidow Elite which we’ve reviewed.

Sony Interactive Entertainment America filed an updated patent in October for what seems to be a new controller with a touchscreen built into it. The patent was filed to the United States Patent Office and actually includes a lot of information regarding the piece of technology that Sony wants to get a hold of. The patent filing
When I was asked to review the Razer Raiju Ultimate I expected a run-of-the-mill third-party controller with a few extra buttons on it. My frame of reference only included the Xbox One Elite Controller, which I’ve been gaming on for almost 3 years now. Let’s just say I wasn’t ready for something like this. The
Gaming hardware manufacturer Razer recently revealed a slate of new flagship products that will be releasing later this year. Following up on last year’s release of the Razer Phone, Razer announced that the aptly titled Razzer Phone 2 is on its way later this year. The Razer Phone 2 will be priced at $799 and
Whether you’re a fan of mechanical keyboards or not, Razer’s BlackWidow Elite stands as a complete keyboard option for people who just like fancy lights or people who need the “military-grade” aluminum because they know they’ll put it through its paces. It’s hard to call something “beautiful” that just makes incessant clicky-clack noises all day,
The mid-tier gaming headsets, typically ranging from $90 to $130, always seems to be a perilous place to live. For smaller, less-known audio brands like AVerMedia, it is a place for the hardware team to stretch out their legs. However, more prominent name brands like Turtle Beach or Razer tend to try and pave a
Today HyperX has announced their very first Bluetooth-enabled headset for players who want that little bit more freedom when purchasing a headset. The Cloud Mix is pretty versatile though, it can also be used while listening to music or chatting with your friends on different platforms. The Cloud MIX headset features plenty of things to
You’ve probably turned off the rumble in your controllers by now because you, like many gamers, value battery life over hand-held haptic feedback. Well, Razer is hedging a bet: the new Nari line of wireless headsets is putting rumble around each of your ears. The Nari Ultimate–the most expensive version of the Nari–comes complete with
The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition (TE for short) strikes an impressive balance between cost, comfort, and a high caliber of quality. It not only serves as a refresh to their popular Kraken line of headsets but also to introduce THX Spatial Audio into the headset game. While there is a lot of competition at the
If you are anything like me, your PS4 or Xbox One isn’t just a gaming device. It is also your all points stop for entertainment in your living room–mainly Netlfix. Sure, I’m mostly spending my time replaying my third run of Persona 5, but I also like to put time aside to catch up on Disenchantment or watch
If you’re sick of your PC gaming friends bragging about their RBG keyboards, just know that Microsoft is trying to help. Today the company announced two new design options for Xbox Design Lab, a service that allows players to customize their Xbox One controllers to their heart’s content. The two new designs the company announced
Today at the Nvidia keynote in Cologne, Germany, the tech company revealed its newest set of consumer GPU models, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 series. There are three variations of the GeForce RTX.

With the five-year anniversary of both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One quickly approaching, it comes as no surprise that we’re already hearing rumblings about “next-gen” video games and consoles. Hell, we might have even seen a couple of titles (or ones that will bridge generations) at this year’s E3. But just like the
RGB-lit products have certainly become the norm nowadays, with more and more products getting in on the trend. It was only a matter of time until gaming mouse pads received the RGB treatment. In fact, hardware designer Razer has decided to implement its Chroma lighting in the form of a soft mouse pad — dubbed
After a decade of slump, PC gaming is growing at an exponential rate. With more and more console gamers getting into the PC gaming community the demand for good, reliable, and sturdy products.
