Finding the best webcam for you right now is hard. You want something that doesn’t break the bank - thank you cost of living crisis - but will give you some futureproofing at the same time. Do you go for a genuine powerhouse such as the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra despite its more expensive price tag? Or do you go for a cheap and cheerful webcam that does the job? Well, OBSBOT wants to find the middle ground.

Speaking of which, OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite is yet to come to market but is set to arrive at $179 in the US, a price that is almost unheard of for a 4K webcam. We don't know what the UK price will be yet, but it'll no doubt be cheaper than its predecessor, the OBSBOT Tiny 2 which retails for $329/£329. Compared to its competitors the Insta360 Link and the Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra, retailing at the $299/£300 mark, this Lite rival is a very compelling option.

Design 

Straight away I can firmly say that this webcam is tiny - it really does live up to its name. I don’t often find myself describing technology as “cute” but I think it is really fitting here. The OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite sports a matte black finish throughout with the camera lens sitting atop a dinky 2-axis gimbal. The mount itself is impressively robust and provides solid support for the camera to sit on your monitor. This is done via the usual pull-out stand and lip, which I'm happy to report never blocks the top bezel on my monitor. 

When not in use the camera points itself down so that your privacy is protected and you won’t need to cover the lens, it does that job for you. When in use it will silently awaken and use its AI software to frame you perfectly. This is done almost instantly as it adjusts to the lighting situation, the distance you are from the camera, and any other variables it might need to adjust to provide you with the best image quality it can.

I was taken with just how nice the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite actually looks as a product. With a minimalist design choice, it doesn't have any crazy RGB or flashy features like a lot of the best gear for streaming. It simply looks premium, something which makes that $179 price tag even more attractive. This premium feel and design extends below the hood as this webcam boasts a plethora of features that you would hope to find in one of the best webcams on the market.

Features

Featuring a 4K lens that is capable of 30 frames per second or 1080p, 60 fps - sadly no support for 1440p - the image quality is high regardless of which setting you choose to output. The integrated AI brings with it clever face-tracking technology, along with your expected auto-focus and auto-exposure options. Not only that but it supports HDR in the 4K and 1080p outputs via the ½” CMOS sensor with an aperture of f/1.8. 

But it’s not just visuals that this webcam targets, as it also includes a dual omnidirectional microphone. Granted, the microphone is a little muffled so you’re still probably better going for one of the best microphones for streaming and gaming.

Pairing with the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite is its OBSBOT Center software. This software, which is fairly compulsory to really get the bang for your buck, unlocks the main features of this webcam. This is the control center for you to access the AI tracking modes, precision controls of the gimbal, image quality, and a beauty mode - something I wasn’t a big fan of but I understand why they would include, as people enjoy those types of filters. The customization here really highlights just how many features this tiny package includes.

Performance

I adore the picture quality here, in both natural and artificial light the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite blows me away with just how sharp an image it produces and how natural it looks. I was worried that with the big branding of AI, the resulting images would look artificial or be AI-enhanced. Thankfully, that is not the case - but more on AI in a bit. Both the 4K and 1080p modes look clean and will serve gamers, streamers, and remote workers a perfect image regardless of use. For content creators looking for a camera to record videos with, you won’t go wrong here, especially for the money you spend. 

I never experienced any problems with the auto-focus or auto-exposure, within half a second the camera had adjusted to the numerous different lighting setups and positions that I threw at it. In my office/gaming setup at home, I tested both artificial lighting and more natural lighting, and both results impressed me and really did compete with the quality that the Razer Kiyo Pro produced. 

Diving into the AI inclusions here, throughout my use I tested the numerous different AI options that the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite touts to really get a sense of what makes this device unique and stand out - it is one of its key selling points after all. The motion tracking is pretty spot on, I only experienced a couple of issues with it, for example when I got up out of my chair and walked to the other side of the room to pick up something from a table, the camera bugged out a little and couldn’t find me. Rather than tracking me, it had decided to track my office chair, it took a little bit for it to register me but it soon zoomed to my location and began following me again - this only happened twice in my entire use of the webcam. 

The panning movement is smooth and responsive, following you as you move about your space. This really helped me when streaming as I didn’t have to worry about staying in frame the entire time. I could trust the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite to keep me in shot at all times, which it did. The only thing that was mentioned to me by a viewer was that some of the motion made them feel a little nauseous especially when it detected any quicker movements and it quickly tried to compensate to meet my speed. Thankfully the software does include a couple of tracking modes each with a different speed setting, however, you are not able to finely tune the actual speed of the tracking yourself. If this is a worry, the adjustable speeds of the Insta360 are worth considering instead.

Working alongside the AI tracking is the camera's gesture controls, and sadly I didn’t have that great an experience with them. While I got it working and it did respond, it took a little longer to work than if I had just gone on the control app and manually tweaked the settings. An L shape with your hand will zoom the shot in and out and while it’s a cool feature, it never zoomed in or out to the desired distance. Similar to what happened in our OBSBOT Tiny 2 review, I found at one point during a call it must have detected my hand making a gesture similar to the one for Zoom as it quickly gave me my Tom Hopper’s Les Miserables close-up shot. I don’t know if I just couldn’t master it but I just never found it to be that intuitive or helpful. I imagine this would be more suited for someone giving a presentation rather than someone streaming or chatting online with friends.

I am really struggling to find issues here with the quality and the performance of the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite, aside from some glitches with the AI tracking not detecting me and the gesture controls not working as smoothly as I’d hoped. Overall, I’m really impressed at the quality that comes with such a compact device.

Should you buy the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite? 

If I had to give a one-word answer here, I’d say: yes. The OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite has genuinely really impressed me with how it performs and how seamless it was to set up and use. Most of the features work straight out of the box - along with the expansive customization options in the dedicated software. 

Coming in at an expected price of $179 this is considerably cheaper compared to its slightly older sister the OBSBOT Tiny 2 ($329/£329), while still including all of its major key features. You’re also then getting similar performance to the Insta360 which caters to the same AI-infused, gimbal-mounted webcam niche but at a cheaper price than its $300 entry point. Comparing it to other budget options like the Razer Kiyo Pro, you’re getting a similar image quality, but gaining 4K. Unless you're happy with Full HD, you'll struggle to find a more affordable option than this.

And that’s what it comes down to. If you want a device that has a sharp 4K image with nifty features such as AI tracking and gesture controls then you can’t go wrong with the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite when it's priced so reasonably. Despite standing at only 2 inches from base to tip, it’s clear that size doesn't matter here.

How we tested the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite

I used the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite for multiple streams on Twitch having the camera routed through its control software and OBS. Alongside this, I used the camera for video calls to friends and family in day-to-day life. I also test-recorded multiple piece-to-camera videos using the camera while standing up to test the AI tracking rather than seated.

The Corsair Virtuoso Pro was previously the best gaming headset with an open-back design but its reliance on cables (a lot of cables) and its strangely flat mids mean there’s ample opportunity for Turtle Beach to wiggle in here - and that’s exactly what the Atlas Air has done.  

Design

I’m testing the Atlas Air during a rare warm spell here in England. My body has also decided to remind me I’m just a year away from 30 which means a strange back pain that has seemingly sprung from sorting the recycling at the weekend. That means I’m sitting in a hot room with a hot water bottle, and the Turtle Beach Atlas Air is exactly the headset I need. It's light, cool, comfortable, and keeps everything feeling breezy, natural, and relaxed. 

The Atlas Air doesn’t want you know it’s there. This is an incredibly well-designed headset, featuring a mesh headband design that melts into the crown and plush, light cushions on each side. It’s by far the most comfortable device I’ve ever used with barely any pressure on the head itself. Of course, that’s all helped by the fact that there’s a very light clamp force (I could jiggle the headset around on my head if I really tried, but it otherwise still remained stable), and extra give in the padding itself. That meant my head was free from headband strain and my ears were housed neatly in a set of malleable cushions.  

Each cup is actually suspended from the headset itself, using what Turtle Beach calls the ‘world’s first floating earcup design’. It essentially means that each cup is held onto the frame with a set of six elastic bands rather than less flexible aluminum or plastic yokes. That means each side can nestle straight into your head shape without being constricted by the frame itself. These bands all look pretty snug, and they have a reassuring thickness to them but their durability is yet to be tested long-term. 

 At 301g, the Atlas Airs aren’t the lightest on the market - the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X comes in at 277g and the Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed is just 280g. However, they’re certainly in the lightweight category, adding to the overall comfort even more.   

The aesthetic itself is fairly subdued. You won’t find any RGB lights and the matte black plastic feels like standard fare for Turtle Beach. The plastic itself is slightly thinner than you might expect from a gaming headset taking aim at a fairly premium price category, but it achieves its low weight well even if it doesn’t look or feel like a $180 piece of kit. The headband itself is adjustable via velcro, but fit me perfectly the first time - testing on someone with a larger head showed that customization is particularly easy and there’s a decent range of movement in the band altogether. 

Features

The first thing you need to know about the Turtle Beach Atlas Air is that it’s an open-back headset. That means the drivers themselves are free to blast sound in both directions without being locked down by plastic coverings on the side of each cup. In practice, open-back headsets provide a more natural soundscape without the distortions that many closed-back devices suffer from - it’s also a far more relaxing way of listening, without the claustrophobic sense of being glued to a set of speakers. 

That means the Atlas Air allows sound to flow in both directions, though, which means it’s not the best headset to use in busier environments. Don’t let that Bluetooth connectivity fool you - this isn’t a dog-walking set of headphones. That design does make for a more comfortable chat experience, or if you’re a streamer, as you’re able to naturally hear your own voice. 

Open-back headsets aren’t as readily available as closed-back models, and wireless devices are even rarer. They exist, but generally as audiophile headphones and that means you’re paying for an audio quality that you might not need while losing mic features. The Atlas Air is the first dedicated wireless gaming headset with an open-back design I’ve personally seen.  

Packing both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections (as well as up to 50 hours battery), this isn’t just a wireless headset, it’s fully inline with 2024’s expectations and even packs a 50-hour battery. All this tech is packed into the cups themselves, with two extra circles over each side, unlike the Corsair Virtuoso Pro which features full open grills. 

All of the controls are packed onto the left-hand side, with the power, Bluetooth pairing, and QuickSwitch buttons nestled underneath the main cup. They’re not particularly easy to discern when wearing the headset, but equally you don’t really need these functions while in-game. Like the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, volume controls are spread across the side of the cup in a dedicated dial. That means quick and easy adjustments without having to fiddle around your ear - it’s a personal highlight and a feature I wish more headsets added.  

The Atlas Air does one more thing differently. The microphone is very much a best of both worlds affair. It’s detachable, so you can leave it in the box if you never jump on comms and don’t have to worry about it sitting right in front of your face. But it’s also flip to mute once it is installed. That’s not something I’ve seen before, but it makes all the difference in everyday life, especially if you use your headset for single-player and multiplayer games in equal measure.  

While the fully acoustic Corsair Virtuoso Pro doesn’t benefit from any additional customization options, the Turtle Beach Atlas Air has a whole suite of controls in the Swarm 2 software. Not only is this a robust 10-band EQ system for PC, but it’s also available on mobile for on-the-go tweaks as well. The app offers all the usual features; chat-mix sliders and sidetone monitoring as well. 

This is also where you’ll find Superhuman Hearing, Turtle Beach’s FPS-first EQ preset which aims to enhance more competition-critical sounds like footsteps, gunshots, and reloads while killing other sounds. The result has never been particularly pleasant and generally muddies the soundstage with oddly distorted, unnatural effects. The result is even worse in this open-back format which places so much emphasis on natural sound. I don’t know how much of the final price tag goes into enabling this feature, but it’s likely not a significant amount. No biggie if you’re not fussed about competitive play, then, but worth considering if this extra feature brought your attention to the Atlas Air in the first place. 

Performance

I’ll cut straight to the chase. The Turtle Beach Atlas Air sounds fantastic - it wasn’t as eye-wideningly revolutionary for me as the Corsair Virtuoso Pro was - but it’s still a cut above the rest. Everything is well balanced, with lower ranges pounding away underneath delicately handled treble tones and an impressively detailed mid-range. The additional space of an open-back design helps the Atlas Air massively here - naturally this is going to have a wider, less processed soundstage. However, there are plenty of open back headsets that still have emphasized basslines reverberating through your skull or clustered mids. 

The Atlas Air performs particularly well for itself across a range of genres as well. The gentle melodies of Octopath Traveller were a delight with so much freedom for twinkly detailing and marching percussion. Fallout 4’s battlefields were expanded when I returned to mop up some side quests, with visceral explosions in the distance and markable enemies scurrying around the maps. Waking up the PS5, I found that The Last of Us Part 1’s echoes were pleasantly terrifying and I almost had to tap out of the hotel set piece in Part 2. Everything was represented in gorgeous detail and with a robust texture, all without the manufactured feel of a more traditional headset.

As mentioned earlier, the graphene drivers of the Virtuoso Pro did give Corsair’s model a slight edge in my head-to-head testing. The Atlas Air has a wide soundstage, the Virtuoso Pro has a slightly wider one. I already thought Corsair had a slightly flattened mid-range, and the two headsets compete equally here. While the Atlas Air was able to pump more power into a clustered soundstage, like the great plains of Horizon Forbidden West, therefore bringing lower tones to the forefront a little more, the Virtuoso Pro revelled in the higher end of this range, picking out screeches of metal better than the clunk of a machine’s footsteps. Considering there’s plenty of power in the Pro’s audio, I’d take the extra detail of a higher range over the grunt of a lower one when put side by side. 

That’s an incredibly nitpicky point, and more of an attempt at quantifying why I felt slightly more drawn to Corsair’s sound than Turtle Beach’s. When all’s said and done you’re certainly getting your money’s worth from a pure audio standpoint here. 

The microphone is… fine. I had some issues with Windows 11 recognizing it as an input at first, which could be down to a waiting firmware update or simply plugging it in wrong. Once fixed, my teammates could hear me - and unless you’re going for a streaming or podcasting career that’s all you really need. 

Should you buy the Turtle Beach Atlas Air?

With its excellent feature set and incredibly comfortable design, the Turtle Beach Atlas Air is the best open-backed headset I’ve tested yet. Yes, its audio quality is ever so slightly lagging behind the Corsair Virtuoso Pro - but not the extent that I would forego that wireless connection and ergonomic design. Taken in isolation this headset sounds great for single player and competitive experiences alike, and still manages to bring all the benefits of an open-back design with it as well. The so-so microphone does mean I’d still recommend the Virtuoso Pro to streamers before the Atlas Air. 

Of course, there’s always a big caveat to recommending a headset like this. You have to really know you want an open back headset before buying one. Sound leakage is real, and it works both ways. If you play in a busier environment or you want your $179.99 investment to see you through morning commutes at the same time you’ll need to look elsewhere. If you play your games as God intended, locked away in a dark room far, far away from society this is going to be an excellent buy. 

How we tested the Turtle Beach Atlas Air

I spent two weeks testing the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, with the first week spent testing alongside the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless Gen 3 and the second testing against the Corsair Virtuoso Pro. In that time I primarily played on PC, running Fallout 4 and Doom Eternal on a gaming laptop via 2.4GHz and Octopath Traveler on Asus ROG Ally via Bluetooth. I also tested across The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 as well as Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 as well. For more information on how we test gaming headsets, check out the full GamesRadar+ Hardware Policy.  

We’re also rounding up all the best PS5 headsets and best Xbox Series X headsets for more console audio, or check out the best PC headsets on the market.  

Let’s get the most important details out of the way quickly. Normally sitting strong at an MSRP of $199.99, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro has just dropped to $174.99 at Amazon, making it even cheaper than the very best PS5 controller, the Victrix Pro BFG. 

For that money, you’re getting anti-stick drift technology, four back buttons, changeable stick tops, trigger stops, loads of profiles, and an expansive suite of settings to make it your own. Seeing this deal before Prime Day PS5 deals actually begin is surprising, but the addition of new features is always a good excuse to lower prices. 

As if this controller didn’t offer enough value versus the likes of the DualSense Edge, the recently added FPS mode is a genuine win for Nacon. Dubbed “Shooter Pro Mode”, it’s a new option that will appear in the latest version of the controller’s software hub. It completely removes the deadzones of both sticks, making it more responsive to the smallest of inputs. For aiming in first-person shooters, this new mode will have a massive impact on how the controller plays. 

When I tested the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro in my favorite shooters, I found its stick tension on a hardware level to be a little looser than I’d like, but making the deadzones smaller definitely helped it to feel like a weapon in the genre. 

Should you buy the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro before Prime Day? 

But with Prime Day gaming deals so close (we just heard confirmation today that the sale will run on July 16 through 17), should you wait, or hedge your bets on this current discount? Well, as someone who reviews controllers and keeps a constant watch on their prices, I wouldn’t feel obligated to wait around. 

The Revolution 5 Pro holds a middle price point in the PS5 controller arena. It’s about the same as the DualSense Edge, but it’s more demanding than the Victrix Pro BFG. It’s certainly cheaper than the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, which has no business being as expensive as it is. It’s still tough to tell whether the DualSense Edge will see a price cut this Prime Day, but with the popular PDP option sitting so close to it, I’d personally be very surprised to see the R5P drop this low again in July. I’d be shocked if it dropped lower, in any case. 

So the real question is whether you want to wait to see how far the Victrix Pro BFG drops during Prime Day. That gamepad offers you a modular design and much better back buttons, but which controller suits you will really come down to preference from there on out. They both sport so many excellent Esports features, and there’s very little separating them. I personally prefer the BFG, and since it holds the cheaper price tag, it’s probable we’ll see it sink below $170 next month.

Thanks to revolutionary new technology, it's able to increase the speed of your builds by a significant amount. And thanks to a few clever usability additions, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra makes your life a little easier too.

Is it a one-stop-shop that'll put everything else to shame? No. But it's made strides that I suspect will become standard amongst the best 3D printers for miniatures and cosplay in a few years' time. Fancy toys allow me to hobby with peak laziness too, so the 4 Ultra is certainly speaking my language.

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra features & design

• New tilt release tech
• Inbuilt camera
• Self-leveling & smart diagnostics

The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra has more than its fair share of bells and whistles. A 12K mono LCD for higher resolution prints is the least of it; the real headline is a tilt release system for greater speed. 

I don't want to sound dramatic, but I've seen "game-changer" kicked around where that mechanism is concerned. It's a fair assessment. Normally, projects have to be retracted from the print bed by pulling up vertically from the FEP film, and this takes time. But with tilt release, the print bed simply dips to unseat your print so it can start the next layer immediately. In theory, the result should be much faster.

The Saturn 4 Ultra also has a unique toy you don't see very often on printers at this price range: a camera. That means you can check in on progress from another room easily, allowing you to identify any issues before they become too big a problem.

Finally, it's packing a couple more modest but equally useful features – power loss print resumption and a hinged lid for easier access. The latter doesn't add to the bulk of the machine, with the design being a sleek black and silver combo that feels simultaneously chic and premium. Some may not appreciate the white sci-fi lines looping across the lid, but I'm a fan. It feels quite Star Trek, so I'm in.

Unfortunately, there's no space for a USB air filter here. Instead, Elegoo suggests the Mars Mate Air Purifier, sold separately.

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra performance

• Tilt release really is faster
• Camera is incredibly useful
• Doesn't feature air-filtration

After a few days of mucking about with the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, I came away impressed. To start with, the quality of each print is obvious. Every model I tried came out looking crisp and detailed, with no need to hone in settings for good results. I didn't even need to level the thing, a task I usually dread – it was ready to get going out of the box and sorted any adjustments itself. 

For anyone that's new to the hobby or has just started out, I can't emphasize how much of a lifesaver this is. I've lost hours and many, many prints to wonky leveling, so machines like this that do the work for you are worth their weight in gold. 

Crucially, the tilt release isn't a gimmick – it really does work. Before this, I'd been using the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s as my go-to machine. Where that one would take 2 hours and 46 minutes to print a collection of models for my D&D campaign, the Saturn 4 Ultra takes over an hour less – it was able to churn out the same miniatures in 1 hour and 38 minutes. That's an eyebrow-raising difference. 

Oh, and the camera? It isn't a gimmick either. If your printer lives in the basement, garage, or spare room, you can quickly check in on models by opening a window on your PC or laptop. That way, you save yourself a walk over to the machine. The visual quality is surprisingly decent too. It's supposed to warn you about failures or issues as well, and while I couldn't get this to work, even being able to snoop on my builds helped catch problems before they spiralled.

The downside is the lack of air filtration, or the ability to fit it. You can always add a separate, rechargeable one later, of course, but considering the kitchen-sink approach being taken here, it's the noticeably absent. The lack of a USB port for an in-built solution disappointed me as well, though I appreciate with everything else it has going on there probably wasn't room.

What about print quality, then? While there are alternatives with a higher resolution (such as the new Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro), the results here are still sharp and detailed even when using settings out of the box. You won't be disappointed.

On a purely practical level, that hinged lid is also something I'm beyond pleased to see. If you're anything like me and don't have masses of space in your printing area, having to lift away the top – and then find somewhere to put it – is a nuisance. This is a straightforward but effective solution that'll save you space. You do need to position the printer a little further forward than you would normally for clearance, of course, but that's a small price to pay.

Should you buy the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra?

If your primary concern is speed but you don't want to compromise on quality, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra should be on your radar. The touted tilt release technology is a resounding success, while the 12K resolution ensures a high quality of print throughout. A hinged lid also adds to the user-friendliness of this machine, as does its camera for keeping tabs on your projects mid-print. 

In fact, my only real complaint – that it doesn't include air filtration out of the box like so many other machines – is easily fixed by buying a rechargeable unit to place inside.

Yes, there are competitors with a higher resolution and a larger build volume. But the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra offers many clever solutions that long-time hobbyists will appreciate.

How we tested the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra

I spent around a month testing the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra with a variety of prints in varying sizes and complexities. This included Loot Studio's Scarlet Requiem pack, terrain for wargaming, and monsters for my Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. To put the tilt release technology through its paces, I compared the results to other machines using exactly the same models.

Thankfully, Amazon has dropped the wireless device down to its lowest-ever price for a second time this week. You’ll find both the black and white models available for $89.99 right now, for a full $40 off the original MSRP. That’s a score of a saving, especially considering the M75 Wireless has generally settled at $100 when on sale in the past - and it’s only been selling since March. We’ve only ever seen this $89.99 rate once before today, back in April, and it jumped back up to full price a few days later. 

This is one of the best gaming mouse models on the market, and it’s coming in at a price previously reserved for the bottom of the mid-range barrel. Before the M75 Wireless launched, the Logitech G Pro Wireless was my favorite left-handed gaming mouse - it’s currently on sale for $79 at Amazon, just $10 less than the newer model. Considering you’re adding Bluetooth support, a boosted sensor, and faster switches in the Corsair model, that’s excellent value. 

Should you buy the Corsair M75 Wireless?

I’d recommend the Corsair M75 Wireless to anyone after a left-handed gaming mouse first and foremost. This is the best pointer on the market for side-swapping, thanks to its high-end sensor and removable side buttons on each flank. It beats the Logitech G Pro Wireless in its sensor, switch-feel, and battery life. However, even us right-handed folk can get in on the action as well. 

There are a number of extra features baked in here that make the M75 Wireless a solid pick for anyone. The 89g weight keeps it out of hardcore FPS arenas, and those who regularly play MMOs will want a few more side buttons, but I was impressed with the accuracy and responsiveness of the Marksman sensor and the excellent 105-hour battery life. The larger form factor means this remains a comfortable experience even during longer sessions, and those with larger hands will appreciate the wider base compared to something like the Razer Viper V2 Pro (my current all-time favorite gaming mouse). 

If you are right-handed and looking for a lighter alternative I would still opt for the V2 Pro (or even the newer Razer Viper V3 Pro if you can move further up the price scale), but at $89.99 the Corsair is looking pretty strong right now. It also features one of my favorite new features to hit a gaming mouse; incremental DPI shifting. Other gaming mice require you to preset your DPI sensitivity before assigning a specific button to toggle between them. However, the M75 Wireless can move all the way through its DPI range simply by using the side buttons at the same time as a separate clicker on the bottom of the mouse. That’s perfect for on-the-fly adjustments to make sure your range is optimally tuned.  

We’re also rounding up all the best wireless gaming mouse models on the market, as well as the best Razer mice and best Logitech gaming mice for those already set on a brand.  

We'll start at the bottom and work our way up. The Ryzen 5 8500G has slipped from $179 down to $159 at Amazon, offering a supremely affordable computer brain for budget builders who don't want to be locked to a DDR4 system. Next, the Ryzen 5 8600G has been humbled, now sitting at a beautifully affordable $199 down from $229. Rounding things off is the powerful Ryzen 7 8700G, which is currently $299 at Amazon, down from $329.

Now, I know, it's not hard to predict that when new products are coming out, the existing ones will start to go down in price, but when it comes to the best CPUs for gaming at the moment, there are variants upon variants that are worth buying. AMD and Intel are essentially competing with themselves as people debate whether to upgrade to DDR5, and which of the current-gen CPU ranges to go for when they do. You'd think discounting a whole generation of 8000G processors would be reserved for Prime Day PC deals, but I had a hunch AMD would want to get out in front of the competition.

Now, I must give credit where it's due. As much as I am an all-knowing, all-predicting CPU guru, my manager Tabitha was actually the one who spotted these CPU discounts first, despite my checking the prices at the beginning of last week. Here's a closer look at the deals in question.

Upgrading to the best gaming PCs with DDR5 compatibility is no cheap task. If you're building something from scratch, assembling the parts without going over budget isn't easy, but seeing one of the most recent AMD processors slashed down to $160 is a surefire way of leaving yourself pennies to play with. 

It might not seem that appealing to opt for an "entry-level" processor these days, but with the most up-to-date Zen 4 architecture, these Ryzen 5s will feel more like a Ryzen 7 if you're used to last-gen standards. They also have integrated graphics for their money, which means if you're still saving to get one of the best graphics cards, you can at least assemble the rest of a PC now. 

The beefier Ryzen 7 8700G gives you better specs than both of the Ryzen 5 options but is still wallet-friendly versus the Intel Core i7s. Comparing specs against Intel's mid-range options, it's actually shy of where the Intel Core i5-13600K sits, but then again, AMD is always more stingy on its cores and threads, and carries performance through with its architecture instead. 

The point with AMD's processors is to provide value, and that's why I'm all for them.

Should you buy a Ryzen 8000G CPU?

Staring down the barrel of the Ryzen 9000 Series hitting the shelves, it might not be immediately tempting to buy one of these discounted processors. The new generation sports updated architecture, but will work on the same motherboard socket as the 7000 Series and 8000G Series, so enthusiasts would be doing themselves out of the most up-to-date models. 

On the other hand, that could provide a reason for bargain hunters to jump on one of these deals. If you're trying to pull together a PC build in a hurry, one of these super affordable options will give you decent power for now, and you'll still have the possibility to upgrade to a 9000 Series product down the road.

Admittedly, we are about to track a full range of Prime Day gaming deals, and CPU offers are always a mainstay of the event. I respect AMD's hustle for getting out in front of the competition, but it does make me want to caution you. If one of the highly coveted Ryzen 7000 X3D processors is historically cheap later in the Summer, you could arguably get even better value for money if you wait.

The other question is whether you save a bit more money and opt for an Intel CPU. 13th gen Intel CPUs are bound to drop to new lows this Prime Day, and do offer more cores and threads than AMD's 8000G Series. The Intel side does cost you a bit more money, but you likely won't get the same upgrading potential as on the AMD side of things. The 14th Gen Intel CPUs do work on the LGA700 motherboard socket, but the next wave will almost definitely require a new motherboard. AMD has shown that it supports its legacy platforms, so if you want the best futureproofing possible, that bears thinking about.

MOZA, which was founded by a collective team of automotive engineers and sim racing experts, has more than a decade of experience. Now it's expanding its ambitions with the MOZA R3 bundle, continuing its expertise in Direct Drive wheels, which offer improved force feedback and a more accurate driving experience.

The MOZA R3 Bundle is compatible with Xbox and PC, and has been developed in direct collaboration with Microsoft as its console's first officially-licensed racing wheels. The star of the bundle is the R3 Direct Drive wheelbase, crafted from aviation-grade aluminium alloy with intelligent temperature control to guarantee durability while not sacrificing anything when it comes to force feedback. The bundle also comes with a MOZA ES Wheel, which comes with 22 programmable buttons for total customization, and syncs up perfectly with the Direct Drive technology. Finally, the SRP Lite Pedals round out the bundle, offering ultra-sensitive angle sensors that ensure the most accurate response possible to every move you make.

If you're looking for a hardcore racing sim setup on console, the MOZA R3 bundle is an excellent place to start. Available for a total price of just $399 (£399) and equally at home on PC, the bundle could offer you the edge with compatibility with a whole suite of the most popular racing and driving sims, from CarX Drift Racing Online, Dirt Rally, and Assetto Corsa to the likes of American Truck Simulator and MudRunner. 

MOZA is also bringing its expertise to the skies, introducing its active force feedback base as its entry to the realm of flight simulation. Just as a high-end driving simulation relies on precise individual feedback for each individual vehicle, so do the best flight sims. Whether you're flying a helicopter, piloting a passenger jet, or maneuvering the Space Shuttle, every specific movement should be unique to its vehicle, and felt by its operator, which is why MOZA has turned its hand to the MOZA Flight Simulator in addition to its racing options. 

Meticulously crafted out of lightweight yet durable materials, with customisation options almost anywhere you could look and control so fine you can even tweak it on your phone via the MOZA app, this first licensed Xbox bundle is perfect for racing sim newcomers and veterans alike. You can find out more, and buy the bundle for yourself via MOZA's website, or get a closer look via the communities on YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter.

Fast-forward to the now and with the RG35XX series roaming the best gaming handheld battlefield, Anbernic is still reusing parts. However, rather than releasing 200 RG35XXs in varying colors, Anbernic is creating entirely different experiences with each system. The RG35XX Plus is a straight-up Game Boy homage; the RG28XX mimics Game Boy Micro; and the RG35XXSP - my latest pickup - asks “what if the Game Boy SP had deliciously powerful internals?”

The answer to that question is a device that feels like a Game Boy Advance SP with enough power to emulate most retro systems. The best part? It's only $64.99 / £64.99. In terms of nailing the look, specs, and price, the RG35XXSP is a must-have device that impresses in almost all the right ways.

Specs

When it comes to specs, the RG35XXSP uses similar innards as the RG35XX Plus. That may seem like a bad thing, especially when compared with something like the Steam Deck OLED, but it ends up making sense. Anbernic seemingly wants to avoid putting out a high-end device that can play everything, instead aiming for a device that sells on nostalgia first and impresses second.

At the helm of the RG35XXSP, you'll find the H700 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.5 GHz. A solid chipset that's perfect for lower-cost machines and doubles the core count while raising the 1.2 GHz clock speed found in the original RG35XX. For the GPU, we've got the dual-core Mali-G31, which sits alongside 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Again, it's a simple pairing designed to get the job done while keeping costs low.

In case it's not obvious, these specs won't hold a candle to the sheer power found in something like the Ayn Odin 2, but that's not the point. The RG35XXSP isn't geared to play recent systems with lush 1080p resolution upscaling activated. It's designed for fans of the Game Boy SP who want to play old-school retro titles in a form factor that thrashes modern gaming handhelds. 

Design 

When you see a handheld and your first response is to scream "WHAT IS THAT?!" like an over-caffeinated child, chances are the form factor is going to be the main hook. Who doesn't want pretty toys laced with nostalgia dust? That's why we're all here, right? The layout of the RG35XXSP pays homage to that of the Game Boy SP - flip the top open and you'll find the D-pad, start, select, the screen brightness button which is now a menu button, and the two A and B buttons have been replaced by four buttons in a cross formation.

Along the base of the device, you'll spot the operating system memory card slot, a second microSD slot, and the headphones port. The RG35XXSP, oddly, has Bluetooth for controllers but not headphones. The mind boggles...

Flip the RG35XXSP over and that's where the micro HDMI, power port, and four bumpers buttons are found. Volume up and down resides on the left side of the console, while the right houses the power and reset buttons.

For me, this is the optimal version of the Game Boy Advance, albeit modernized to accommodate extra buttons. One area I'm less than impressed with is the D-pad. As someone who plays a lot of Street Fighter, the D-pad struggles with diagonal inputs, which makes pulling off simple fireballs a nuisance. It's not that the device doesn't register the input either, I've run multiple tests. It just struggles unless you're pressing super-firmly.

It's weird – I've had a blast playing platformers and the level of precision is perfect for games from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. In games where diagonal inputs aren't integral, the D-pad works without issue. It's just fighting games where things are troublesome, so keep that in mind if you like a punch-up.

I'm also less impressed by the console's sleep and resume function due to how wildly inconsistent it is. Sometimes it'll wake the screen when opening the lid, other times the screen stays off until you hit the power button. This isn't a major gripe, but, you know, gotta be thorough.

There's also been a lot of chat about how clicky the buttons are. The original Game Boy Advance SP was quite clicky, but the RG35XXSP feels like the mechanical keyboard of the retro handheld world. I'm personally fine with it as I use an Xbox controller to play, but loads of people I've spoken with can't get on with it. If you're averse to irritating sounds, YouTube has several guides on how to quieten the buttons by adding thin layers of tape under the buttons. You will need to take it apart, but as long as you've got the right tools, nothing looks all that technical.

Moving into more positive waters, the screen positively bangs. It's a 3.5-inch IPS display that works great in medium sunlight and low light conditions. So if you want to play it in bed like it's 2003, you're golden. One thing I do need to stress: Due to the screen's 4:3 ratio, PSP games - and anything with a 16:9 ratio - shrink down to fit. This isn't necessarily an issue as there's no other way to do it. It's more just something for you to keep in mind going in.

Performance  

The RG35XXSP says it's capable of playing up to PSP. While that's true, it's not completely honest. PSP games can be played, but anything complex like God of War will plod along at sub-30 frames per second a lot of the time. The more simple games like Loco Roco work well, the same goes for classic collections. But anything above that is a no-fly zone.

What does that leave us with? Old-school retro systems from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras will work without any major issues, but that's a given nowadays. If it can't run those systems and run them well, the device would be dead on arrival. What is impressive is the RG35XXSP has just enough power to pull off some extra feats in the form of Dreamcast. I wasn't able to run Dreamcast games with a ridiculous amount of resolution scaling activated, but if you want mostly smooth performance on a screen that doesn't make you miss resolution scaling, you'll come away happy.

The way I see it, think of the RG35XXSP as a ‘pro’ Game Boy Advance SP. The main draw with this device is its 3.5-inch screen size, as everything looks better as a result. On a seven-inch display, I'm sure the games it plays would look stretched and washed out. Yet, thanks to the smaller panel, everything fits nicely. It's kind of like playing a game on the Steam Deck OLED at 720p 30fps on an external display. On a 4K gaming TV, those elements would translate terribly. However, since the Deck's screen is clean and the size is smaller than a TV, it looks excellent.  The same logic applies to the RG35XXSP. Shrink it down and the lower specs become less relevant. 

Should you buy the RG35XXSP?

Do you like the Game Boy Advance SP's aesthetic? Want to play up to Dreamcast? If you answered yes to both, you're going to love the RG35XXSP. It's as simple as that.

If you've already got an RG35XX device, though? That's where things get a little more complicated. Power-wise, everything is the same. You won't get a performance boost in the newer device. It really all comes down to how you want to play. If you're happy with the RG35XX Plus, and prefer the original Game Boy styling, stick with that. If, however, you've been clamoring for a clamshell, then the RG35XXSP is easy to recommend, despite its weird kinks.

In a similar vein, given how ridiculously expensive the OG Avance SP and its games are now (why are they priced like antiques?!), the RG35XXSP's main user case is for people who want to experience the classics in a familiar style who don't want to pay scalper level prices. At $64.99, the RG35XXSP is not just a monumental steal, it's a beaming neon middle finger to the bloated aftermarket prices. 

 How I Tested the Anbernic RG35XXSP

After receiving the RG35XXSP I charged it to capacity before loading up a plethora of emulators to test out a selection of classics as well as more current titles. 

During my testing, I depleted the battery several times and recharged it without any issues. That said, there are reports of some owners suffering a catastrophic battery failure where the battery heats up hot enough to melt part of the shell and then begins to expand. Yikes!

As I say, I didn’t suffer this problem myself, but I’d advise caution. Definitely don’t leave this device unattended while charging and I’d also recommend using a low-voltage charger/charging device just to be extra safe.

Okay, here’s the situation – the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 is currently down to $799 at Amazon thanks to a $200 discount. At full price, the best gaming monitor contender will set you back $999, and most deals usually stick to a figure above $800. Put it this way, the only other time I’ve seen this display for under $800 was Black Friday 2023, so it’s needless to say it caught my eye during my usual weekly window shop.

Yes, $800 is still a bit pricey for a 27-inch display, but there are a few qualities that justify the higher MSRP in the first place. As I already touched on, we’re talking about a 1440p 240Hz display that’s armed with an LG OLED panel, which provides Corsair’s high-spec screen with incredible contrast, eye-catching colors, and inky black levels. Other perks like a swift 0.03 GtG response rate also mean this model is perfect for shooters and competitive gaming sessions – an impressive feat considering how it doesn’t drop impressive visuals to achieve such feats. 

Sounds fantastic, right? Well, hold up, as I want to chat about that cheaper alternative I hinted at too. Amazon also happens to have a tremendous offer live on the KTC G27P6, a 1440p 240Hz display that also uses the same LG OLED panel. You can currently grab it for $509.99 (was $799.99) thanks to both a $120 coupon and an additional 10% discount, which is a fantastic price to pay for something that matches Corsair’s model in terms of specs. 

Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 vs KTC G27P6 

I’ve spent significant time with both the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 and the cheaper KTC G27P6, and both provide a phenomenal OLED experience. Before testing the latter screen, I was skeptical about whether a no-name rival could offer up reliable visuals without major caveats, but my doubts were completely unfounded.

That said, there are differences between Corsair’s screen and the KTC “dupe”, and some of them could sway you in either direction. Even before we get down to side-by-side comparisons, the G27P6 goes the extra mile by including some built-in speakers, making it a more appropriate monitor for PS5 than the 27QHD240. It also has an RGB logo around the back, which admittedly looks slightly garish but may appeal more to younger players than its competitor’s black aesthetic. 

As for visuals, both monitors look nearly identical when it comes to SDR, with the LG OLED panel doing the same heavy lifting in both scenarios. I wasn’t able to sniff out any speed differences either, with that 240Hz refresh rate holding true for both the Corsair and KTC display. Where things did seem to differ is with HDR, as the G27P6 looked a bit more muted compared to the 27QHD240. This is likely due to Corsair’s firmware achieving higher brightness with High Dynamic Range switched on.

Ultimately, both monitors provide an extremely similar OLED experience, and the price gap may tempt you to go for the KTC G27P6 over Corsair’s model. I know some of you out there will feel more comfortable going with a familiar brand, as it could come with RMA and technical support benefits in the future if the need arises. Nevertheless, both screens pack a tremendous punch in terms of visuals, and you’ll save a bunch of cash no matter which model you go for.
