Review: Logitech G403 Prodigy Gaming Mouse
The Logitech G403 is one of the latest Prodigy series mice, aimed at making gaming more affordable for new and budget-wary PC gamers. It follows the classic ergonomic right-handed design popularized by the Razer DeathAdder. The price however, puts it in direct competition against not the entry level mice, but established, well known names. Gaming mice are often identified by their unique and exotic shapes, but the G403 keeps it simple and classy. The shape that feels very natural and familiar to hold. In contrast to high end gaming mice like the Razer Naga or the Logitech G600 which boast of a horde of buttons, it takes things back to the basics with two side buttons, and one DPI switch button in addition to the conventional left-click, right-click buttons and the scroll wheel. The G403 ha...
Logitech G231 Prodigy Gaming Headset Review
Logitech came up with the whole Prodigy peripheral line up to help ease new players them into the sphere of gaming. They are trying to appeal to a new generation of gamers who just started out on their gaming journeys. One of the products, the G231 was a result of this. A G230 with better sound and mic quality….and a higher price tag. Design It’s kind of an upgrade from the G230 as both have the same washable ear-pads, same noise cancellation microphone and pretty much the overall same style. The main difference between the G230 and G231 is the 3.5mm jack. It now has the combo microphone and headphone all in one. But it does come with the splitter in case you want to use it on the laptop. Specific to this model is the in-line controls through which you can turn your mic on/off ...
Review: Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard
The Logitech G213 Prodigy is an entry level gaming keyboard which aims to make your gaming experience more affordable. Sure, it’s not a mechanical keyboard, but that doesn’t stop it from getting the job done. It looks much similar to an office keyboard when it’s off. It has the standard full key layout with a numeric keypad on the right hand side and a row Fn keys (or F keys) at the top. Above the numeric keypad there is a set of dedicated media keys, along with a mute key and volume control buttons. A separate key is provided for turning the LED backlight on and off. The keyboard has a full RGB 16.8 million colour backlight, meaning you can set it to any colour of your choice. There are a variety of LED customizations that you can apply; Static (set it to a single colour...
Review: Logitech G610 Orion Blue Gaming Keyboard
Simple and elegant. These are probably the two best words to describe the Logitech G610 Orion Gaming Keyboard. It comes with two variants, one with Cherry MX Brown and Cherry MX Blue switches. Today we review the G610 Orion Blue, which as the name suggests, has the Blue Cherry MX Switch. It features the characteristic tactile bump, which lets you know that the key has been pressed. You need to apply a bit of pressure for that to happen, meaning that it can greatly reduce errors you might make while typing as lightly grazing over the key will not register as a keystroke. The keys also make a very satisfying clicking sound as your press them, which some groups might consider as music to their ears. Theoretically, it’s the ideal keyboard for people with intense typing work. Talking abou...
Fills Me With Determination: Undertale PC Review
A game that came as a breath of fresh air in a room full of remasters, remakes and rehashes, Undertale is a tale like no other. Unique, witty and fun, that is what Undertale is all about and it doesn’t take long to establish that. Taking inspiration from RPGs like Earthbound ( Also known as Mother 2) and The Mario and Luigi RPGs, with its comedic inspiration being Mr Bean, it is the amalgamation of these with a dash of creativity and wit which is what makes this game so unique and fun to play. Undertale starts off like most RPGs with a generic story, a young boy falls into a world of monsters and must find his way back home but that’s about as conventional as it gets. Once the intro is done, you get to taste the game for just a bit with an interaction that is bound to surprise you. This is...
Review: Logitech G102 Prodigy Gaming Mouse
A successor to the G100s, the Logitech G102 follows the classic G1 series design, though it comes with some handy perks and customizations. Not only is there a performance improvement, but Logitech has also made sure that their entry level gaming mouse is jazzed up in terms of looks as well. The design of the mouse, though symmetrical in appearance can’t exactly be called ambidextrous as it features the side buttons on the left side of the mouse. It looks simple and is relatively low, designed for users with small to medium sized hands. The Logitech G102 Prodigy comes in two colours: black and white. Both come in a delicate matte finish, though it still feels very smooth while holding. The side buttons and the DPI shift button on the top have a glossy texture and feel much lighter. T...
Review: MSI VR ONE Backpack PC
VR is one of the biggest trends right now, and with great virtual reality, comes a greater wired connection. Fortunately, we are there’s an emerging tech that aims to take care of these issues and make VR a less limited medium – VR backpack PCs. Today, we review one of the first such systems available for the enthusiasts, the MSI VR ONE. Let’s take a look at the specs. The highly portable backpack comes with an i7-6820HK processor and a GTX 1070 8GB graphics card. It has up to 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 512 GB SSD. With its light weight, shape and form factor, it seems much akin to a gaming laptop, but the lack of a display unit, trackpad and keyboard means that it’s much closer to a desktop PC. It has two batteries which claim to give more than 1.5 hours of continuous VR ...
Western Digital My Passport Portable Review
These days people like to carry their data around with them. Whether you are going on a vacation or a business trip, you would like to have easy access to your data, presentations, movies, music etc. And over the years, carrying data has become much easier.

It is designed with a gradient ...
Gotta Stack ‘Em All: World Of Final Fantasy Review
While all eyes have been on Final Fantasy XV, a lesser known Final Fantasy game was sneaked in a few weeks earlier, called World Of Final Fantasy. Developed by Tose and Square Enix, World Of Final Fantasy hearkens back to the traditional style of gameplay from the Final Fantasy series. Fans of the franchise will instantly fall in love with the turn based battle system revolving around the series staple Active Time Battle system, and find new challenges in the added stacking mechanism. But before getting into that, let’s talk about the story. You play as the adorable twins Lann and Reynn, as they set out into the land of Grymoire, which is under the threat of the Bahamut Army casting darkness across the world. While the game is not part of the main series, their journey takes them acr...
Hack Doggy Style: Watch Dogs 2 Review
Ubisoft sure has learned a thing or 17 from it’s past failures, and Watch Dogs 2 is a culmination of all that learning, without rectifying all of the mistakes. Right off the bat, the game sets the tone for a vibrant, pop culture, social media and internet trends-driven cyber society, and puts you in the shoes of a young, very millennial hacker, Marcus Holloway. And that in itself shows how much Ubisoft wants to get away from the baggage that the franchise has from the first game in the series. Instead of a whiny-little-cunt of a protagonist, plodding through a drab city, we have a young fella, who just wants to gain social media followers, and bring about digital justice across the world. And the world in itself, set in San Francisco, is a colorful and rather accurate (and at times e...
Make Hitman Great Again: Hitman (2016) Season 1 Review
When Square Enix first announced that the next game in the Hitman series was going to be episodic, it was received with quite the skepticism. Fans, including us, were worried if this was going to be yet another attempt at milking the consumer by yet another big publisher. And rightly so, since the previous entry in the series, Hitman: Absolution, got tepid response, and was widely regarded as a dumbing down from the previous entries in the series. Turns out, we could not have been more wrong. The episodic format has been a very effective means for the way the new Hitman game is crafted. It furthermore gave players a reason to keep coming back,not only for future episodes, but also for a regular outflow of free DLC challenges, and made the game a subject of conversations throughout the yea...
Best Gaming Laptops Under Rs. 50,000 In India
It’s hard to believe how technology has evolved over the years. I can still remember the first time I saw a laptop, it was one of those black IBM laptops with the red button in the middle of the keyboard with which you controlled the mouse. I think that was around 1998-2000 sometime when my mum brought one of those ancient things from work and back then it was probably one of the best pieces of machinery you could get your hands on. Fast forward about 15 years and here we are now, concepts like VR are on the verge of becoming mainstream, 3D printers already finding it’s place in office spaces and Donald Trump being elected as the 45th President of America, it’s hard to believe how so much has changed in so little time. Now days what you can do on laptops people might not ...
