Mechanical keyboards have gained a lot of momentum over the past couple of years, offering an improved typing experience over traditional keyboards. While this might not seem like such a big deal, it can be, if you're someone that relies on a keyboard for hours at a time for work or even intense gaming sessions.

6 reasons why I love mechanical keyboards

Mechanical keyboards are popular for a reason

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that mechanical keyboards have taken over the world — at least in gaming and work-from-home setups. The best mechanical keyboards easily outclass membrane keyboards in both the actual experience and the number of options and freedom they provide. I absolutely love mechanical keyboards and have been using one, the Royal Kludge RK84, for around six months now.

If you've ever played an esports title like VALORANT or Counter-Strike, then you'll probably understand the necessity of a large mousepad. I've reached Faceit Level 10 in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Immortal in VALORANT, and really, just spend far too much time playing FPS titles. However, all of that is the reason why I value a high-quality mousepad, and the SteelSeries QcK+ costing just $13 for Amazon's Big Deal Days is up there as one of my favorite deals I've seen so far.

SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023) review: I love mechanical keyboards now

I never cared much about mechanical keyboards, but the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL has made it hard to use anything else.

By 

For a long time, I never really got the appeal of mechanical keyboards. Truthfully, they just seemed like louder keyboards to me and felt similar otherwise. That started changing last year when I bought the Razer Ornata V2, but now that I've had the chance to try the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023), using anything else feels like a step backward.

Android has evolved into one of the best gaming platforms out there, and it's home to many serious mobile gamers playing various first-person shooters (FPS) and other fast-paced titles. You can play almost every game with on-screen controls, but using a dedicated controller can greatly improve your overall experience. Plenty of these modern titles, such as Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile are best enjoyed with a controller. There's also an entire world of Android emulation that allows users to play games from older consoles.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless review: The best gaming headset for a reason

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is the best gaming headset for a reason. It's simply phenomenal

In the world of gaming headsets, there are so, so many to choose from. I see so many options in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene. I know many people who use a HyperX headset and many more who use a regular pair of headphones and a dedicated microphone. I fall into the latter camp and always have (I previously used Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless wired to my PC, for example), but the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless actually managed to change that.

Windows 10 users can't catch a break with security vulnerabilities. Earlier this week, it was discovered that plugging in a Razer peripheral into a Windows 10 PC could easily allow a user to get admin rights on that PC.
