The Corsair MAKR 75 is a DIY keyboard that provides an outstanding balance between enthusiast customization and Corsair’s ecosystem. It’s got a premium full-aluminum build, a compact 75% layout that’s functional for both gaming and productivity, and a design that makes switching switches, keycaps, or even the LCD module easy. The MLX Pulse Thocky switches I went with feel tactile and satisfying, and paired with the polycarbonate or optional FR4 plate, the typing experience is smooth, cushioned, and precise.

The Corsair Sabre v2 Pro Ultralight Wireless is gaming mouse built for professional players who need speed and accuracy. Weighing just 36 grams, it glides easily across the mousepad. It is equipped with the Marksman sensor, AXON hyper-polling, and tactile switches, aiming feels precise in FPS games. Moreover, long gaming sessions remain comfortable thanks to its shape, matte finish, and added grip tapes. Lastly, the build is solid, and the UPE skates hold up well even with heavy use.

The Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 is a two-in-one keyboard that delivers remarkable gaming performance, complemented by features targeted for content creators and streamers. It is equipped with MGX Hall Effect switches, a multi-functional rotary dial, a 320×170 LCD screen, and Elgato Stream Deck integration for both gameplay and productivity. Additionally, its solid build, magnetic wrist rest, and PBT double-shot keycaps provide comfort and durability. While it's wired only and carries a premium price, it's still a well-rounded keyboard.

Epomaker’s Click Lite is a lightweight wireless mouse that keeps things simple. It comes in at about 75g, which makes it easy to flick around without feeling bulky. You get both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth for connectivity, and in my testing, both worked fine without any issues. The sensor tracks smoothly, clicks feel responsive, and it does the job whether you’re gaming or just browsing. It doesn’t bother with RGB or fancy extras, but that also keeps the weight down and the battery lasting longer. For the price, it’s a straightforward, reliable option.

The Epomaker HE68 Lite is a compact 65% Hall Effect keyboard that delivers a magnetic switch experience at a budget-friendly price. The HE68 Lite is really snappy thanks to its adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger. Gaming or typing, it keeps up without missing any input. The keys feel solid under fingers, and with all the sound-dampening layers inside, it gives a pleasantly quiet typing experience. The RGB lighting is customizable, though the south-facing LEDs don’t fully stand out with the stock keycaps, and the legends' visibility could be better. Overall, it’s a well-rounded entry-point Hall Effect keyboard that provides remarkable performance, portability, and value.

The Orico SharpVid 4K doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it does a solid job of giving you what matters. It is a small, solid card with an aluminum body, and it doesn’t disappoint when handling 4K/60Hz recording with VRR. I tried it out on different platforms and didn’t run into any real issues. Honestly, it was just plug it in, hit record, and you’re good to go. Using it to switch between gaming, streaming, and recording felt simple enough. There was nothing I had to overthink. It’s not out here trying to show off with fancy features, and the price isn’t exactly cheap, but it holds its ground pretty well next to Elgato or AverMedia stuff.

The Epomaker Magcore 87 is a wired-only, performance-driven keyboard built with Kailh Box Inductive switches, offering Hall-Effect-level customization with a more refined inductive approach. It delivers buttery-smooth keystrokes with adjustable actuation backed by a solid aluminum gasket-mounted chassis for a dampened, premium typing experience.

The AVerMedia Elite Go (GC313Pro) is a compact capture card–charger combo made for streamers and creators who are looking for portability. It captures at 1080p60 while offering 4K60 passthrough, making it suitable for Twitch and YouTube streaming setups where Full HD is enough. Lastly, its 100W GaN charging feature makes it a unique travel-friendly device. However, the lack of 4K capture and reliance on basic software may leave professional users wanting more.

The Epomaker x Aula F108 Pro is a full-size mechanical keyboard that offers features well above its price segment. It provides a tri-tone design, gasket-mount structure, buttery-smooth pre-lubed switches, and practical extras like a customizable LCD screen and multifunction knob that brings enthusiast-tier features to a more affordable package. Moreover, its tri-mode connectivity and 8,000mAh battery offer considerable flexibility in connection options and extended playtime, respectively.

It provides real-time monitoring, onboard denoise, EQ presets, and wireless functionality. Its clean design, solid battery life, and flexible connectivity options make it a reliable choice for gamers, streamers, and remote workers alike.

The Epomaker P65 brings the brand’s well-known aluminum gasket-mount design, five layers of sound dampening, and hot-swappable VIA/QMK support to a compact 65% layout. It offers a deep, satisfying typing sound and supports USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connections. It’s a great choice for keyboard enthusiasts who care about sound and customization. However, its 1.3 kg weight and fixed typing angle might not be ideal if you need something more portable.

The Epomaker HE68 is an excellent choice for gamers and casual users who want to try out Hall-Effect switches, offering hot-swap capability and magnetic actuation features while only being priced at $59.99. Its compact 65% layout is paired with a gasket-mounted design for enhanced acoustics and comfort during typing. Even though its connectivity and build options are limited by the wired-only and ABS plastic chassis, which excludes premium feel and wireless freedom, the HE68 still outperforms many pricier competitors.
