The Corsair K70 Pro TKL is a great gaming keyboard that excels where it matters for pros. The hall-effect switches provide bleeding-edge performance backed up by robust build quality. While the sound and feel are nothing extraordinary, Corsair’s extensive support somewhat makes up for being priced higher than the competition while lacking wireless support.

Depending on your use case scenario and future upgradability path, the best power supply for gaming can range from 850W up to 1600W. And we have rounded up the best 6 options in this guide.

The Orico O7000 2TB NVMe SSD delivers impressive speed, making it a good choice for gaming, general use, and even PS5 compatibility. It uses a DRAM-less design with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) and SLC caching to maintain solid performance, but it’s not as fast as DRAM-enabled drives for small, random tasks. At $129.99, it’s a great deal, especially with extras like a heatsink and thermal pads included.

While the RGB lighting and customizable top cover offer some appeal, the Phantom+ Elite is ultimately hampered by its subpar typing feel and outdated features, with the stock stabilizers being the biggest let-down. Competitors in the same price range provide significantly better sound, feel and even design.

Unlike its more expensive older sibling, the Phantom+ fares even worse across all our tests. It has an okay-ish typing experience for a modern prebuilt and skips on features, like wireless support, that would have been great to have, especially considering the price. The design is only for those who prefer the aggressive gamer aesthetic, as the build quality around it is not the best either.

Stalker 2 combines excellent atmosphere and survival gameplay but is ultimately held back from true greatness due to a lack of polish.

In this guide, I will walk you through the best AM5 motherboards based on power delivery, features, build quality, and value.

Aula F65 is a good budget keyboard but not quite the homerun we’ve come to expect from Aula. While the fundamentals are all there, the clunky software and unimpressive wireless performance let it down. Regardless, it sounds great with the same excellent stock stabs and premium keycaps. If all you want is a solid keyboard that types well and you’re set on the 65% form factor, the F65 is still a reliable choice.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K offers decent performance at a considerable price range. It is equipped with the latest architecture and has great power efficiency. Moreover, it delivers satisfactory performance in multi-core tasks and handles everyday applications smoothly. However, its gaming performance, while adequate, doesn’t quite match up to competitors in the same price range. Therefore, users seeking balanced productivity can consider this an option. However, gamers should look elsewhere for better performance in highly demanding games.

The XPG Lancer ROG DDR5-6600 is the new hero in the Lancer lineup, tuned for ASUS ROG Z890 boards, but also standing up to the task of others. This is an ECC memory kit that performs up to the mark for the speed on offer and looks excellent with its polished black design and RGB. With its towering performance comes a towering design (43mm), too, which renders it incompatible with certain air coolers.

Keychron’s latest venture into the gaming market delivers a great keyboard that prioritizes a satisfying typing experience without cutting corners, while being at the forefront of hall-effect performance. The K2 HE strikes a balance between enthusiast-grade features and a mainstream-friendly approach, all at a reasonable price. Its striking design complements a robust build, creating a versatile keyboard that caters equally to gamers and professionals.
