The Epomaker Galaxy70 is a good keyboard that excels in many departments. Its construction is clearly the highlight with an unconventional design that really suits the package. The sound, feel, and value are all there but instability in the wireless performance makes this a hard sell. If you can live with that compromise, the Galaxy70 is a worthy purchase.

Epomaker P75 is an excellent keyboard with best-in-class build quality that speaks to its premium nature. The acoustics are heavenly, the typing experience is refined, and the design is mature enough to look good on any desk. With a decent software experience and solid wireless performance, there is nothing this keyboard can’t do. For the price, it doesn’t get any better.

The Manba One Ver 2 Controller is a versatile gaming controller that combines outstanding Hall Effect sensors with customizable modular features, making it a top pick for enthusiasts and competitive gamers. Moreover, it features remarkable accuracy and excellent platform compatibility, catering to diverse gaming needs.

I modded my PS5 controller with the GuliKit TMR joysticks. The modding itself requires a bit of expertise, as there is quite some soldering involved, but the result is worth it.

The Corsair K70 Core TKL Wireless is a competent gaming keyboard with plenty of features to back up its solid fundamentals. Unfortunately, it’s priced too high to make sense when you can find better boards in the market for less. The lack of a hot swap PCB coupled with misinput issues I faced on both wired and wireless connections makes this hard to recommend.

You've seen plastic keyboards and aluminum keyboards, but have you ever seen a gasket-mounted wooden keyboard that sounds and smells good?

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.

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and customizable top cover offer some appeal, the Phantom+ Elite is ultimately hampered by its subpar typing feel and outdated features, with the stock stabilizers being the biggest let-down.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.

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.

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.
