Razer claims that its Huntsman keyboard is the fastest in the world, and with optical switches, it may have a claim to that crown. By blending traditional mechanical switches with optical contacts, the Huntsman shaves precious milliseconds off of even fast mechanical keyboards with more typical gaming switches, making it perfectly suited for competitive gamers looking to get an edge. It also enjoys excellent RGB lighting, easily replaceable keycaps, and a strong, quality build.

At almost half price, this high-speed gaming keyboard is suddenly far more accessible and affordable than it’s been in a long time, making it a great gaming deal this Prime Day.

The Roccat Vulcan 121 Aimo is a gaming keyboard that stands out from the crowd. Its Titan switches employ enhanced mechanical technology for a sturdier and more accurate gaming experience, but also broader illumination. The clear housings and shallow keycaps give you an even spread in and around each key for nuanced Aimo lighting effects. Media controls are clearly defined and usable with just one hand — no function key required — and each Vulkan comes complete with an attractive and comfortable wrist rest that’s entirely detachable for when it’s not needed.

Better yet, this keyboard is 25% off this Prime Day at just $120.

Asus TUF K7 Optical-Mechanical — $97, was $121

Another optical-mechanical board vying for the fastest gaming keyboard around, the Asus TUF K7 is a supremely comfortable and sturdy keyboard with great lighting support. It also enjoys IP56 resistance to dust and water, making sure that even if you spill your drink on it, or don’t give it the regular cleaning it deserves, it’ll still continue to serve you well. Long after you’ve forgotten that you bought it at a great discount during Prime Day 2020.

Available now with a price tag of just $97, this is the cheapest this keyboard has been for some time. Snap it up while you can, as Prime Day ends in just a few short hours.

These 9 Steam apps have been transformative for my gaming PC
Several apps on a PC monitor.

You don't need to install a ton of apps to set up a gaming PC these days. You grab your favorite browser, download Steam and any other storefronts you need, and maybe a couple of utilities to manage your hardware. After that, you're off to the races. But there's a massive list of useful software available right through Steam that you're probably ignoring.

Steam does a terrible job of surfacing the software it has available. It's not normally mixed in with games in the Steam store, instead living in a completely separate section that's only accessible if you know where to look. That's a shame because I've found a handful of apps through Steam that I couldn't imagine living without.

Asus’ new gaming keyboard is the sleeper hit of Computex 2024
The Asus ROG Azoth Extreme sitting on a stand.

I wasn't expecting a new version of Asus' excellent ROG Azoth keyboard, but that's exactly what I saw at Computex 2024. The aptly named ROG Azoth Extreme is an upgraded version of the base model, fit with a suite of changes and performance improvements worthy of the Extreme tag.

As a certified keyboard snob that likes to mess with boards like the Meletrix BOOG75 and Keychron Q1 HE, the Azoth Extreme presents an interesting dilemma. It has all the hallmarks of a mainstream gaming keyboard, but with plenty of enthusiast guidance. In some ways, such as the adjustable gaskets, it even goes beyond what you can find in the DIY market.

Razer made the best gaming mouse even better
The Razer Viper V3 Pro sitting among its accessories.

The Razer Viper has been one of the best gaming mice you can buy since its inception, and last year's Viper V3 was no exception. Just a few months after introducing the mouse, Razer is taking another swing at the design with the Viper V3 Pro. It promises the same excellent shape, high-performance sensor, and esports-level accuracy, but with a slew of additional features that build on the original design.

I've been testing out the Viper V3 Pro for a few days now. There are enough changes here to warrant a new entry into Razer's growing lineup of competitive gaming mice, and they not only make the mouse more performant, but also more comfortable to use. The $160 price tag is tough to stomach considering Razer's mainstream focus with the original Viper V3. But if you have the cash to spare, this Pro update is worth every penny.
