Looking for the right gaming mouse can make your head spin. On some level, they’re all good, and it really comes down to personal taste, honing in on those exclusive features and improvements that cater to your gaming preferences. In many ways, the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless gaming mouse was that for me….
The Ecovacs Deebot X12S OmniCyclone is the new flagship model for the company, coming out fresh from a year stacked with every company launching a new model; the X12S OmniCyclone just might be the underdog here that is worth taking a look at. It has a futuristic-looking dock and robot that is deceptively appealing. After…
I was so impressed with the original Narwal Flow that I gave it four and a half stars when I reviewed it late last year. It was the mopping that did it for me, offering a near-flawless performance in an area where others have lagged. After testing numerous robot vacuums across a broad range of…
The number of keyboards and mice seems to be growing by the day, and Dell have decided to jump into the fold with their Pro 7 Rechargeable Compact Keyboard and Mouse (KM746). This wireless combo is sleek and minimal, providing a decent option for those potentially working from home, or those looking for a lighter,…
The market for premium over-ear headphones has been eerily quiet over the past few years. Ever since Apple released its AirPods Max in 2020, there’s been a sense that the category has settled into a comfortable rhythm, with manufacturers seemingly less interested in making substantial leaps between generations. We’ve seen a stronger showing elsewhere. Sony…
The shelf life of smartphones is changing profoundly. As flagship prices continue to climb and year-on-year improvements become increasingly difficult to distinguish, there’s a growing argument for looking backwards whenever a major manufacturer releases its latest phone. Oppo is a good example. The brand’s latest Australian flagship, the Find X9 Pro, is an impressive piece…
GameSir may be known for its excellent anti-drift controllers, but it seems they are not content with just a reputation for quality – they’re also striving for a reputation for style as well. This new release of their G7 Pro Tri-Mode controller is evidence of that commitment. Coming in three new colourways (Amber Flame, Plum…
There’s something inherently awkward about travelling overseas when you have a tonne of work to get done. Finding somewhere comfortable to open your laptop can be difficult enough, especially when you’re constantly moving between hotels and airports. The last thing you want is to be carrying more equipment than you actually need. I’ve always travelled…
I’ve been reviewing quite a few vacuum cleaners lately, and one of the more interesting things about testing different models from the same manufacturer is seeing how subtle differences can affect the overall experience. A new design or cleaning attachment might seem insignificant on paper, but these small refinements can make a real difference to…
I’ve reviewed so many Tineco vacuum cleaners over the past few years that I’m starting to feel like something of an unofficial expert on the brand. It’s an interesting position to be in, given that I don’t often get the opportunity to test several variations of what is essentially the same appliance. And yet, that’s…
There might be a few options out there, but I admittedly have next to no experience with AR/XR glasses before trying out the Viture Pro 2 XR Glasses. But upon doing a little more research, why wouldn’t I want to try something like this? You mean I can have a massive screen on my face…
Sennheiser has made some of the most well-built, premium headphones across both the in-ear and over-ear markets for quite some time now, and the previous Momentum True Wireless 4 were a great example of that. In many ways, the Momentum True Wireless 5 in-ear headphones feel like a more refined version of their older sibling,…
Some controllers are simply made for champions – and I do mean that quite literally. For those playing at a high level who want a controller to match, the new Tegenaria Lite from GameSir is made in collaboration with renowned fighting game competitor MenaRD. Designed for competitive play, this controller looks and feels great to…
Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing Alienware’s budget-friendly 32-inch QHD AW3225DM monitor. I liked that monitor so much that I eventually bought one. Fittingly, I’m writing this review on it. I mention this only to say that as I peeled open the packaging of Alienware’s newest 39-inch 5K OLED ultrawide monitor, I felt…
I use earbuds daily, and while I use traditional earbuds for the most part, I have always appreciated the open-ear design to help users to keep track of their surroundings; a helpful feature when you’re taking the dogs for a walk at night or want to stay aware of the nearby traffic on a bike…
I reviewed the EPOS Impact 500 late last year and found that, while not for everyday use, it is one of the most robust and highly recommended options for the workplace. It’s not to say that you wouldn’t be able to take them out and about, but EPOS had clearly honed in on what made…
We’ve reviewed a few Anker Soundcore products over the years and have been generally pleased with the results. I ended up using the Soundcore Space Q45 Headphones long after my initial review back in 2022, as they were some of my favourite headphones at that point in time. While I much prefer over-ear headphones for…
Skullcandy are no stranger to a wide range of over-ear and in-ear options across a range of price points, but the Crusher 1080 ANC over-ear headphones now stand as their most premium option on the market. At $399.99, I would certainly consider this a premium pair of headphones, but after using these for a few…
Over a decade ago, if someone knocked on my door, I would pretend I wasn’t home and peek through the window to see who was there. My first port of call was to hide and make sure the person knocking didn’t see me, because “stranger danger”, obviously. But with security cameras and doorbell cameras flooding…
With an increasing range of cellular and Wi-Fi-enabled devices that we take on the go with us nowadays, it feels like portable internet is equally important. There are options like Starlink, which are great for those travelling in a caravan through rural areas, for example, but in most cases, it’s nice to just have something…
I recently reviewed the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Hair Dryer System with my wife’s help, and while it was something I could use myself, it was better reviewed as a team. When it came to the Shark SilkiPro Straight, however, I was much more reliant on her input, as I am literally unable to use…
Dash cams have quietly shifted from nice-to-have gadgets to essential vehicle insurance policies on Australian roads. Uniden’s latest offering, the iGO Cam 63R, sets out to solve the biggest dilemma in the market: how to get legitimate 4K front coverage and crisp rear recording without shelling out top-dollar cash. With an RRP of $300, the…
The Toniebox might have been around since 2016, but it only really made its way to Autralian shoes in 2024. Since then, it’s been a wildly popular device for not only entertaining younger kids, but also helping them learn while getting them away from screens. The Toniebox 2 is a fantastic upgrade, and while it…
I’m going to make a bold statement here and say that typewriters started my love for writing. The feel of the metal keys under your fingers, the sound of the keys when it hits the paper, and the bell that rings to let you know when you’re running out of room on the paper to…
Corsair is no stranger to a range of both entry-level and premium gaming accessories, the most recent being the HS35 v3 Wireless, a more affordable yet feature-packed gaming headset for a variety of gamers and platforms. It’s certainly one of the cheaper wireless headsets on the market, and offers not only multiple ways to connect…
Hair dryers seem to be getting both smaller and more powerful with each iteration, which makes it a fantastic option for travelling and storage alike. While I’ve not yet had the chance to touch on such a product thus far, I thought it was better late than never and took up the opportunity to review…
If you’ve ever had the issue of struggling to find additional ports on your laptop or desktop PC for things like monitors, USB sticks, webcams or everything in between, then you’ve probably needed a dock or a hub at some point in time. While most users in an office environment or even at home would…
We’ve had the pleasure of reviewing various Corsair keyboards here at The AU Review, and I’ve pretty much loved each one that I’ve come across. There are obviously various keyboards for certain users, but regardless of the model, Corsair are no stranger to producing quality products that provide fantastic value for a range of competitive…
Robot Vacuum manufacturers are trying to make things jump (and mop without slushing dirt around). Phone manufacturers are constantly tweaking their cameras and trying to make life (even) easier for content creators. The ones building wet and dry vacuums? What keeps them up at night is profile. How can they produce a vacuum cleaner that…
Laser does a great job of providing solid, value-packed options for a range of devices, including projectors. The Movie and Gaming Projector is a relatively straightforward option that feels like it’s aimed not only towards the cheaper end of the market, but also for those looking for an additional option besides their TV. This could…
