Keyboards seem to be the big focus this year as this will be my fourth keyboard review in the past couple of months. The drive for more keyboards may be coming with the increasing gaming tournaments going on at Twitch.TV. Sponsorships for gaming tournaments are common and many times it’s a sponsorship for a gaming keyboard. With gaming and keyboards on people’s minds, there has been a recent spike in keyboard purchases or searches made on Amazon and it’s sparking manufacturers’ interests. Recently, well-known manufacturers like Kingston have entered the keyboard market and we are beginning to see new refreshed…

Living in Wisconsin, I’ve noticed that many people tend to take road trips down to Florida instead of flying. This is not a drive that can be done in one day, but the cost savings over plane tickets for the entire family can sometimes make the drive worth it. Well, sitting in a car for a long period of time can become dreary. To help pass the time, most of us will listen to our tunes or watch a movie. However, blasting music or video in a car filled with other people is going to cause an issue. This could…
When buying a house or renting an apartment, the most common thing to purchase would be an Internet Service Provider (ISP) subscription. These ISP subscriptions typically come in a bundle and provide a home phone, cable TV, and internet access. Despite constant push-back from the consumer, ISPs still try to push a home phone service onto their customers, even knowing that everybody and their dog has a smartphone. Now that only cable TV and internet are offered in many bundles, customers are now pushing back against their cable subscriptions. All over the internet, there are hundreds of articles describing how…
Nothing is used more than the keyboard. It’s our default communication device to people on the internet and valuable to gamers to send inputs to their games. Keyboards for gamers can vary greatly and each is different in their own way, but how they perform is more important than anything else out there. Making sure each and every key press is recorded can literally be the difference between life and death within the game. In some cases, it may even be whether you win the game or not. I recently reviewed a new performance gaming mouse from a brand that…
Brian Johnson told the world in 1981 that “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” and boy was he right. Every party and gathering just isn’t the same without some party music going on in the background, but not all of us are at a party at every given moment. Many of us exercise, go to quiet places, or just may be working on a product today. When we are alone, we can’t be like the olden days where we held boom boxes to our ears, blasting music to the world. What we need are some headphones that let us listen…
We humans are all unique in our own way. We have different styles, voices, functions, looks, and features which all differ between one another. Strangely enough, what is also unique are computer mice. As long as it’s not a revision of a previous model, every computer mouse on the market just so happens to look a little different and offer different features. There are oblong shapes, ones that use a ball, some are meant for high speed, while others can function on glass. Since computer mice happen to be so different, we tend to become attached to a certain style…
Nothing is truly free. Everywhere we go, if something is advertised as ‘Free’, there’s a good chance that somebody else is just covering the bill. The public radio is open to all and everybody can freely listen to it. Songs, news, and talk shows are all streamed right across the country and you can pick and choose your favorite stations without anybody telling you that you can’t listen to one or the other. Many of us may say that the public radio is free, but it’s really not. The radio host needs to be paid a salary, the equipment needs…
Camera equipment isn’t something that I have heavily reviewed on Tech Support Forum, but the opportunity for it is slowly growing. From point-and-shoot cameras to action-based GoPros, to slow motion photography, it always puts a smile on my face when I can capture the moment and then share it with others at a later point. Yet, what if I’m looking to record content over a long period of time? Living in Wisconsin, we have wild seasons with the winter being brutally cold and full of snow, while spring and summer can reach into the upper 90s. How cool would it…
A good friend of mine just recently moved house and he was troubled about the new house’s lack of networking cabling. His initial thought was to run new networking cable all over the house. He wanted cable access in centralized rooms, to which he could install a network switch and run more network lines. Not only did that seem like a lot of work, it was a lot of unneeded cabling for devices that already have wireless capability. My recommendation to him was to use a system that I reviewed a bit ago called eero. By using multiple bases, you…
The song ‘Going to California’ by Led Zeppelin is such a relaxing and heartwarming song that it makes you think of the positives. Then, when it’s time to feel like a total badass, ‘When the Levee Breaks’ just makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. Memories, emotions, and time are trapped into the music we listen to and I’m not sure we could function without it. Music speaks to us and helps us progress as a society. If we were in a classroom where I asked those to raise their hands if they listen to music while working, I…
