Going back to the old IBM keyboards from the 1990s, the classic buckling spring type keyboard is the granddaddy of all mechanical keyboards and quite an experience using one because you could get into an almost musical rhythm when typing!  The click clack sound of mechanical keyboards is, without question, one of the biggest selling points and so are the different variants of mechanical switches available, including brown switch, which are the most tactile of all mechanical switches and also one of the quietest. MX Brown switches are the most popular but, you can also get Kailh BOX brown switches on full size keyboards such as the Perixx PeriBoard-328, which uses uses Kailh BOX low profile brown switches, which feel like a cross between Cherry's MX red switches and MX browns switches.

Described as the new generation of storage medium - CFexpress is over 3 times faster than CFast 2.0 and XQD, which CFexpress is based on, using PCI Express (PCIe) version 3.0. There are three types of CFexpress memory cards, namely Type C, Type A and Type B such as the Manfrotto CFexpress card seen pictured. Type B memory cards are faster than Sony's CFExpress Type A memory cards because CFexpress Type B uses two PCIe lanes, which can provide a maximum theoretical speed of 2,000MB/s (megabytes per second); whereas Type A cards use only one PCIe lane with a maximum throughput of 1,000MB/s. The CFexpress format is, indeed, the "new kid on the block" of media storage formats and, just like USB-C is taking on USB, CFexpress is taking on the outgoing king of media storage formats - XQD - which Sony owns the IP rights to. Lexar use to make XQD cards but they have been discontinuing the XQD format since 2018, in favor of CFexpress, which is an open standard. Nobody has the monop...

The RAT 6+ gaming mouse is complete with side skirts and, it even has a rear knob protrusion that looks like a modded exhaust tail pipe! The raise side skit has a dedicated profile button perched atop the left click button and there is another side skirt down below for resting the thumb. The profile button lets you toggle between profiles, which are color coded. The profile button has an RGB led built-in to it that changes color every time you press it, letting you easily identify the profile (four to choose from).

The bas...
