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 Lian Li Hydroshift II LCD-C 360TL is an impressive premium liquid cooler that delivers top-tier cooling performance, particularly in noise-normalized conditions, where it outperforms most of the competition. It stands out with its slim radiator for better case compatibility, customizable and vibrant circular LCD display, and wireless control options that reduce cable clutter. The build quality is solid, installation is user-friendly, and the fans are both quiet and powerful. However, to fully use its features, you still need the L-Connect software and some traditional cabling, and its high price might not suit everyone.
