The Apex Pro TKL 2023 improves on the previous design, offering a great level of customization thanks to the OmniPoint 2.0 magnetic switches with Hall Effect. These are pleasant to actuate and the selected keys can have two functions, depending on the selected actuation distance; each key can be selected with a different actuation distance and the Rapid Trigger brings advantages sometimes found with some gamepads. We did play Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint and noted that we could easily switch between walking and running with a single key and this feature can be used with a ton of other games as well! read more

The Rocket 4 Plus from Sabrent does offer good performance and quite a bit of capacity when talking about the 4TB SKU, packing the proven Phison PS5018-E18 controller, 2GB of DDR4-2666 DRAM for caching and no less than eight Micron 176-layer 3D NAND TLC ICs. TLCs not only assure a sustained write rate for longer, a higher transfer rate when writing directly to the TLC portion of the chips but are also more durable than QLC, with a rating of 3000TB for the specific 4TB SKU. read more

The full-sized ALUDRA is using a more recent Gateron switch model when compared to the V1 TKL model, G Pro 2.0 Red with a more clear plastic housing in order for the LED light to shine through brighter, an operating force of about 45gf, a pre-travel of 2.0mm, a total travel of 4.0mm max, while the bottoming out will be done at about 50gf. These are very smooth and pleasant when typing in an office environment, while being ideal for gaming as well. We did test it in Diablo 3, the newer Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order but also The Crew Motorfest and the controls felt very responsive at all times. read more

For an USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps drive, the Crucial X9 Pro 2TB performs great, also thanks to the included Micron B47R 176L TLC NAND, which is able to keep high write rates even when working with very large files. The aluminum chassis helps with cooling, avoiding throttling, but also gives out a professional look. read more

A lot of gamers are still using TKL keyboards but some are already transitioning to the 65% form factor due to maximum efficiency of used space (all estate is actually used while TKL still has some gaps between the top row and the rest of the keys but also on the right side). The directional keys are still dedicated, allowing for easy usage in case of office use and CHERRY XTRFY has made available plenty of other functions such as multimedia and input selection, by just using Fn. read more
