GameSir X2 Bluetooth Version Review Xinput Retractable Phone Controller

When gaming on a phone, using a gamepad adapter makes a world of difference! There are two basic types: phone clamp controllers such as the G4 Pro controller  and telescopic type controllers such as the GameSir X2 Bluetooth controller (pictured). The telescopic type is more popular because the phone sits right in the middle of the controller, which is more convenient for holding long, heavy phones such as the Note 20 Ultra. The GameSir X2 controller, seen pictured, is the wireless version of the  GameSir X2 wired version  that came out last year. The X2 wireless version uses Bluetooth 5.0 to connect to a phone rather than via USB-C connection. The GameSir X2 Bluetooth version looks virtually identical with the same ABXY layout and asymmetrical joystick design, although the X2 Bluetooth version is larger so, it can accommodate larger phones up to 173mm long. The GameSir X2 wired version can only accept phones up to 163mm.  The d-pad, face buttons, shoulder b...

Nebula Astro Review Juggling Ball Size Projector With Eye Protection

The late 1800s saw the invention of the overhead projector and the Zoopraxiscope and Panopticon - two of the first movie projectors ever made - all of which use a basic lamp projection system that consists of lenses and a light source. Old school overhead projectors use a physical source (e.g. ink transparencies) to input the image, while modern projectors such as the Nebula Astro projector (pictured) uses a digital input source such as a computer. Like most pico type projectors, Nebula Astro has a short throw ratio (1.3), which is perfect for small rooms or portable use because you can position the projector relatively close and still get a clear picture. Long throw projectors, in the other hand, require a minimum distance of at least 72 inches (6ft). Astro's minimum distance requirement is just 23 inches (half a meter) with a 121 inches maximum distance. That said, you get a better viewing experience when Astro is positioned between 40 and 80 inches away from the projection surfa...

Soundcore Life Q35 Review Comparison Against Life Q30 ANC Headphones

The Life Q35 is the newest addition to the Soundcore family and the third ANC headset in the Soundcore headphone line up. The Life Q35 brings several new improvements, including on ear detection, LDAC support, beamforming microphones, AI noise reduction (for calls), new hardshell case design and a right angle audio cable with inline remote/microphone. Visually, the Life Q35 is identical to the Soundcore Life Q30 , retaining the same body frame, folding yoke design and similar weight too, coming in at 270 grams on the weighing scale. The Life Q35 retains also the same plastic ratchet adjustment headband, which makes a clicking sound. The top section of the Life Q35 headband has a wide metal band too, which adds structural integrity to the headband, as well as provide adequate clamping force to keep the headset secure on the head.  Like with other headphones, the level of clamping force you experience will depend on the shape and size of your head. The underside of the Life Q35 head...
