“Overall, the HVER PRO X is worth the price of admission. You could definitely do a lot worse at this price, and the keyboard swings above its price point. After giving the keyboard a go for a decent amount of time, it was hard to feel that the keyboard had any serious cons to it. Over time, I feel like the HVER PRO X might shine even more when it comes to liquid-related accidents or even basic cleaning given its design.”

EPOS GSX 300 Gaming External Sound Card
“[T]he EPOS GSX 300 Gaming External Sound Card from EPOS Audio and Sennheiser is an absolutely incredible device. For those who want to get a serious upgrade in their PC’s audio output but aren’t the most confident in opening up their PC to perform circuit surgery, this plug and play option is fantastic. It has been the easiest device I have ever set up and the sound quality elevates even a mediocre to average headset to one of top-notch quality…I can’t imagine going back to using my PC’s audio port or plugging into a gamepad when I have something as stellar as this to let me fully experience gaming in the best way possible.”
