Razer’s gaming mouse designs can get pretty pricey — the Naga Pro I’m using as I write this article was $150 when it came out. The wired, FPS-friendly Razer Basilisk V3 is one of the company’s more affordable options, and today it’s even more so. Normally $69.99, Amazon has it on sale for just $44.99, a 36 percent discount.

I find it really hard to recommend any Windows-powered machine these days with less than 16GB of memory. Windows 11, not to mention essentials like Chrome and other browsers, just chug on anything less. So it’s great to see a dependable 15-inch laptop from Dell going for as little as $359.99, at least if you jump through a hoop or two.

OLED monitors are the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming, and Samsung makes one of the biggest, widest ones out there. The Odyssey OLED G9 is 49 inches of super-saturated, perfect-black glory, but it doesn’t come cheap, with a regular retail price of $1799. But today Amazon is offering it at one of the best prices we’ve seen yet, just $999.99, matching a low we saw for a few days last month. To get the full discount, be sure to click the coupon button that knocks another $100 off its already-spectacular $1,099 sale price. Читать дальше...

PC players have been enjoying the hell out of Helldivers 2, the 3D update to the team-killing PvE original. In fact PC sales have made up the bulk of the player base, despite the game being published by Sony on PS5 simultaneously. But a new message telling PC users that they’ll need a PlayStation account has some of them feeling less than patriotic for Super Earth.

If you love competitive games where every second matters, you’ve come to the right spot. You’ll need a fast gaming monitor that can keep up with the intense gameplay. Luckily for you, Amazon’s selling the Acer Nitro WQHD for $179.99, which is 38 percent off of the original $289.99 price. This monitor has a blisteringly fast refresh rate of 180Hz as well as a response time of 0.5ms, meaning it should produce buttery smooth visuals during competitive gaming sessions.

For a long time, the battle lines have been drawn around optical and mechanical switches in gaming mice buttons, with optical switches appearing the winner in the tussle.

The fact that IT is such an exciting topic has a lot to do with the constant changes. In hardly any other industry do new technical developments follow each other so closely. Ground-breaking new products are launched on the market in rapid succession and often become widespread very quickly.
