Review: Apex Pro Mini

The Apex Pro Mini from SteelSeries is an incredibly lightweight and compact gaming keyboard that’ll impress the toughest of critics. This 60% form factor keyboard allows you to enjoy more real estate no matter the size of your workstation. Moreover, the RGB lighting can be synced with other SteelSeries products to create the ultimate light show.

Alongside this, the inputs are lightning-fast and this makes the device the perfect tool for competitive gamers. Furthermore, the wonderful mechanical switches sound fantastic. Additionally, the switches deliver up to 20x faster actuation than a standard mechanical keyboard. Moreover, you’ll enjoy an up to 11x response rate and twice the durability of its peers. As such, you’ll improve every element of your gaming experience.

What’s in the box of the Apex Pro Mini?

  • The clean box is attractive and informative. What’s more, it is sturdy and can be recycled.
  • The Apex Pro Mini is a compact beast that packs a punch. This small-formed keyboard is perfect if you have a tiny workstation or wish to refine your setup.
  • A keycap puller is hidden inside the case. Use this tool to change any of your keys.
  • The long braided USB-A to USB-C cable can be connected to a PC, Mac, or compatible gaming console.
  • Learn the fundamentals with the information guide.

Technical aspects.

A keyboard for gaming has to be rapid, durable, and comfortable to use. Thankfully, the Apex Pro Mini ticks each of these boxes. SteelSeries has incorporated adjustable Omnipoint 2.0 switches to improve your gaming experience. These mind-blowingly fast hypermagnetic switches are a game-changer. Unlike traditional switches, you are awarded with instant response times and zero contact keystroke actuation. The result? Rapid speed, unlike anything you’ve seen before.

This idea goes one step further as you are in complete control of your travel distance! Furthermore, you can program 2 inputs for each keystroke based on travel distance. Accordingly, you can walk and run using the “W” key and shoot and reload with another key. This is a phenomenal feature that streamlines your gaming approach. What’s more, it gives you a match-winning edge that will annihilate any opponent.

No more lag.

Removing lag is key for any serious gamer. Thankfully, the rapid trigger feature and the ability to alter your actuation distance make this keyboard stand out from the crowd. Unlike other keyboards, the Apex Pro Mini uses dynamic activation and deactivation based on travel distance rather than a fixed point in the key travel. This may seem like a small idea, but it ensures that your inputs are ridiculously fast.

Second, setting the actuation distance that works for you is impressive. As such, you can opt for a featherlight touch of 0.1 mm, or you can jab like a giant and push the keys to their maximum 4.0mm travel. Either way, you get a keyboard that works for you.

Functionality.

One of the best features of the Apex Pro Mini is its usability and custom profile options. If you install the SteelSeries free software, you can use the Engine App to customise every aspect of this device. Furthermore, you can save macros to speed things up and maximise every gaming moment. 

Alongside this, the SteelSeries function button allows you to use this 60% form factor keyboard like its full-sized cousins. Accordingly, you lose no functionality by plumping for this compact beast. Finally, it would be remiss of me to ignore the fantastic RGB light show. I loved the pre-set programs that brought this device to life. If you want, you can alter the display however you wish with the SS app.

Build quality.

SteelSeries and high quality go hand-in-hand. As such, it was no surprise that this immense keyboard blew me away. The aircraft-grade aluminium alloy delivers enhanced rigidity and structural stability. Furthermore, the durable switches and vivid RGB are something to behold. If you then consider the compact size and vast functionality, this tiny unit shouldn’t be ignored.

Alongside this, I loved the height-adjustable legs. With 3 settings to pick from, you can find a height that is comfortable for you. Additionally, a sneaky compartment to the underside hides the keycap puller. This was impressive as it enhanced an already streamlined appearance.

Is the Apex Pro Mini worth it?

If you are short on space or want a refined gaming setup, then a 60% form factor keyboard is a must. If you then consider the incredible speed, macro functionality, RGB lighting, and durability of the switches, then the Apex Pro Mini is a must-have product. Accordingly, if you want to compete at the highest level and look badass at the same time, then I recommend that you buy it here!

Review: My Time At Sandrock

Review: My Time At Sandrock

I’m trying to find a way to describe games like My Time At Sandrock without it sounding derogatory. A game that has a lot of repeating components, so you can put something on to watch in the background and just vibe. Podcast game, perhaps? That sounds like the game itself is talking to you. Split-focus game? Not very catchy. I’ll work on it. Regardless of the name, it’s a genre of game that I like a lot and My Time At Sandrock is a decent entry.

I’ll admit it up front though: I’ve not beaten it yet. Not for lack of trying, though. It’s a behemothic game and my forty-five hours of playtime doesn’t seem to have touched the sides yet. I might have to call in sick from work to complete it. You can deduce then, that there’s a lot to do in My Time At Sandrock. A lot of those things have been lifted straight from the previous title, My Time At Portia, which means that the good parts have come along untainted but more than a few sins have crept in too.

My Time At Portia - Growing crops

Can He Fix It?

In My Time At Sandrock, we play as a builder. Rather than spending months erecting flat-pack housing, however, builders are more akin to handymen. Got an odd job you want doing but can’t be bothered to do yourself? Give it to a Builder! Our gullible builder arrives in the crumbling desert town of Sandrock to carve out a name for themselves. Unfortunately, the town is suffering from a crippling lack of water and decent turf, and a crippling abundance of angry lizard people and equally angry bandits.

Sandrock gives a good first impression. The town feels quite lively, with a good number of people wandering around. It’s quite a picturesque setting – assuming you don’t mind sand. The bright, cartoony graphics probably help with that. It just looks like a nice place to be. It’s full of nice people too. Assuming you don’t mind a bit of overly twee dialogue, all the different characters feel distinct and interesting. I ended up buddying up with Owen, the cheery saloon owner, who delights in telling elaborate stories and feeding people omelettes.

The real star of My Time At Sandrock is the building. We don’t just chop down a few trees and get ourselves an axe, no sir. In My Time At Sandrock, each part of a structure needs to be built seperately and then combined. Comissions are given to you through main and story quests (or scooped up by you if you want extra cash). So if you want to build, say, a water tank, then you need to construct steel plates, screws, rubber and everything else seperately. Then, of course, you need to mine and smelt the ores to begin all that work too. It’s quite involved and it’s quite cathartic to see something you’ve been working on for hours finally come together in one big, shiny piece.

My Time At Portia - Mining Rocks

Timing Of The Screw

Note that I chose the word ‘hours’ quite carefully in that last sentence. The biggest frustration of this building is that everything has an artificial time attached to it. So if you want a good number of screws, you might have to sit around for ten real minutes until it’s done. It’s a little… mobile game-y. There was a moment, a good few hours in, where I ended up stopping for a moment, completely surrounded by slowly ticking clocks, wondering what on Earth I was supposed to do now. It just completely scrambles my brain and I’m not sure I like it. Feels like padding things out.

If I was being generous, though, I’d say it gives you an impetus to explore what else My Time At Sandrock has to offer. And by God does it has a lot to offer. Here’s a quick list, you can: fish, play arcades, hunt down enemies, fight your friends, go relic diving, go mining, go bobsleighing, hang out with people, customise your house, raise a yak – the list is endless. That doesn’t even touch on the colossal amount of side quests. This is a massive game, that’s constantly handing you new toys out of its sandbox. They’re all reliably fun too. Even the fishing is bearable, placing it far above many in the genre. You can also romance the townsfolk, which is nice. I like all the characters to be honest, without really a miss among them.

The problem with this is one you might encounter if you open a real-life toybox: My Time At Sandrock is bad at giving us a point to all this. Take growing crops, for example. Outside of a handful of quests, there’s no real need to grow them. Money is abundant, so no need to sell them and only a few crops are used in crafting recipes, most of which can be bought. They can be made into food – but health and stamina items are cheap and abundant. In the end, the list of things I felt like doing began to dwindle. Some are just shallow in principle too, like the combat. Very abundant and ridiculously easy combat, that boils down to repeatedly pressing X until enemy is dead, with some light dodge rolling here and there. Either that or shooting them with what feel like nerf guns.

My Time At Portia - The Machines

Second Verse, Same As The First

Most of My Time At Sandrock‘s issues have been transplanted wholesale from My Time At Portia. In my view, both are missing a general goal to aim for. There is a main story – a pretty good one in the case of Sandrock – but it’s very stop-and-start. It mostly revolves around building giant structures, with occasional combat sections. Forty-odd hours in and I still have no idea what I’m working towards, making it all feel like I’m just twiddling my thumbs. Something like the debt mechanic from Hardspace: Shipbreaker would give me a personal, independent goal to work towards.

Still, My Time At Sandrock does bring some new features in that are unique to its setting. Given that we’re in a desert, water is scarce. That means no cutting down the trees, as less foliage means more desert. Instead, you get wood from piles that form up in the sand, as well as cutting down the local shrubs. You also need to keep your machines topped up with water to beat the heat. There’s a pleasing environmental theme that runs throughout, which forms a big part of the main plot. While a lot of mechanics are transplanted from Portia, Pathea Games have definitely given some thought to the setting.

As a way to relax, My Time At Sandrock is great. It looks wonderful and is full of interesting people to talk to. Still, it strikes me more as a jack of all trades, rather than a master of any particular one. It was enough to keep me interested for over forty hours – which is probably as good a review as you need – but I do wonder how long it would last if I wasn’t reviewing it. It’s certainly worth a look in – it’ll put a big smile on your face after all – but I wouldn’t blame you if you left Sandrock to the desert sands after a while.

Review: Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost

The Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost is designed with gamers at the fore. This rapid mouse is accurate, responsive, and easy to use. Moreover, its lightweight design ensures fatigue is reduced during lengthy gaming sessions. Alongside this, it has the latest switches and remarkably smooth PTFE skates. As such, you’ll be blown away by its build quality.

On top of this, its RGB light display is impressive and it can be synced to other Prism-enabled devices. As such, you can create a mind-blowing gaming set-up that’ll be the envy of your friends. Additionally, this is a durable mouse that will take a beating. Accordingly, this is ideal for enthusiastic fans of FPS titles.

What’s in the box of the Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost?

  • The compact packaging is alluring. What’s more, it is robust and can be recycled. 
  • The Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost is a sexy mouse. The holey shell design is eye-catching and the RGB lights are vivid.
  • A wireless dongle streamlines your set-up. 
  • Charge the device or play wired with this Super Mesh data/charging cable.
  • Learn the basics with the user guide. 

Technical aspects. 

The Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost not only looks incredible, but it is technically advanced as well. It boasts an impressive 18k DPI, 400 IPS, and a mind-boggling 40 G acceleration. As such, this mouse is as fast as a bullet and super accurate to boot. Thanks to its TrueMove Air Sensor, it has 1-to-1 tracking specifically for wireless gaming. Therefore, it matters not if it is used wirelessly or wired, it performs remarkably well. 

If you wish to play wirelessly, you don’t want connectivity issues. Thankfully, this mouse utilises ultra-fast Quantum 2.0 technology. As such, you enjoy 2.4 GHz lag-free connectivity. Alternatively, you can click the switch and use the 5.0 Bluetooth to connect to an array of devices. This approach is extremely versatile and allows you to use this device on the move. 

Finally, I was impressed with the awesome battery life. The compact battery is ridiculously lightweight, but this doesn’t compromise its performance. Luckily, one full charge can last up to an incredible 200 hours. However, if you somehow run out of juice, simply plug it in and charge the device while you’re in the game. 

The PrismSync app. 

If you want your gaming space to pop, you’ll want every accessory to work in sync. Luckily, SteelSeries has this covered with its PrismSync app. This free-to-download software is straightforward to use. Moreover, you can customise your devices and use the pre-built game engines. Accordingly, the hard work is taken out of your hands. 

Build quality. 

I was mesmerised by the lightweight nature of the Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost. At only 68 g, this mouse is a market leader. Moreover, its holey shell design allows the RGB to stand out. Furthermore, the translucent case is striking and unusual. As such, this is ideal for a gamer who wants a unique device.

The ultra-thin PCB and next-gen Golden Micro IP54 switches ensure that this mouse is super durable. Rated for an amazing 80 M clicks, the switch will outlive the user. Furthermore, this high rating is around 3 times more than its peers. Accordingly, you are assured that this device is built to last.

Alongside this, the case was designed using AquaBarrier technology. Consequently, it is protected from dirt, hair, dust, and minor spillages. Therefore, you can forget the minor issues and focus on your gaming. Speaking of gaming, the 100% Virgin Grade PTFE skates guarantee smooth and rapid movement. Subsequently, you can make large swooping motions without a juddery performance. To make the most of this, I recommend pairing it with the QcK Prism cloth mousepad.

Is the Aerox 3 Wireless Ghost worth it?

This limited-edition mouse is phenomenal! Not only does it look great, but it feels extremely comfortable to use. Moreover, it is unbelievably rapid and lightweight and will change the way you game. If you then consider the glorious RGB lighting and the awesome PrismSync app, this will improve any gaming setup. Accordingly, this is a fantastic gaming mouse and I recommend that you buy it here!

The Wonder Of Tangible Playthings For Kids

Here, we’re going to share some thoughts about the toys our children play with. Now, we all are pretty much sailing in the digital sea, but have you ever paused and pondered about the good old physical toys? There’s a whole treasure trove of benefits these toys bring, and it’s not just about keeping the little ones busy. Let’s get into this delightful topic, shall we?

Via Pexels

Sparking Imagination – It’s A Big Deal

Imagine your child, eyes lit up with excitement, turning a simple cardboard box into a majestic castle or a high-speed spaceship. That’s what tangible toys are all about! They’re not just objects; they’re gateways to boundless imagination. These toys don’t dictate how to play; they’re a blank canvas for our kids to paint their stories, dreams, and adventures. It’s creativity at its best, really!

Developing Skills With Fun

Have you ever seen a child engrossed in assembling the perfect Flat 2 Fast card racers? It’s not merely a fun activity. This kind of play is essential for their tiny fingers, helping them develop fine motor skills and coordination. This playtime is more than just fun; it’s laying the groundwork for essential life skills.

Moving And Grooving!

In an age where screens are everywhere, tangible toys are like a secret tool to encourage kids to be active. Running after a ball, biking around, or just playing catch – these activities are not just energy burners; they also help kids learn about their bodies and the space around them.

Building Friendships Through Play

Toys can be wonderful connectors for children. When they play together, they share more than just toys; they form bonds, learn to communicate, and understand the importance of sharing and teamwork. It’s fascinating how simple play can teach them valuable social and emotional skills.

Role-Playing: The Glimpse Into Grown-Up Life

Watching your child play with a toy kitchen or a mini toolset is like seeing them take their first steps into the adult world. They’re learning by imitating, grasping the basics of daily life in the safest and most enjoyable way. It’s not just play; it’s learning in disguise.

The Magic Of Touch

In a world dominated by digital experiences, the tactile sensations offered by physical toys are incredibly valuable. The feel of different textures – smooth, rough, squishy – each brings its unique story and experience. It’s a sensory journey in every touch.

Problem-Solving Little Geniuses

When kids are faced with a challenge in their play, like building something or solving a puzzle, they’re actually learning to think independently. They experiment, try different methods, and learn the value of persistence. Each little challenge they overcome builds their confidence and problem-solving skills.

Playtime With A Green Heart

And let’s not overlook the sustainability aspect. Tangible toys, especially those made sustainably, teach our kids to be mindful of our planet. They learn the importance of preservation and the joy of cherishing and passing down beloved items.

Wrapping It Up

So, there we have it! Tangible toys are more than just playthings; they’re instruments for learning, growing, and exploring. As we navigate our tech-centric world, let’s not forget the simple, yet profound, joys and lessons these toys bring into our children’s lives.

How Can You Prepare for an Exam?

How Can You Prepare for an Exam?

Exams can bring out all sorts of emotions: academic assessments, professional certification exams, or standardized tests can arouse both hope and anxiety in equal measures. These assessments often weigh heavily on our minds, leading to us searching for strategies that not only alleviate anxiety but also empower us to perform at our highest level. Yet, to achieve success during these critical moments, success lies not solely in memorizing information as quickly as possible; rather, success requires taking an integrated and methodical approach that transcends mere rote memorization. This comprehensive journey to success encompasses an array of refined strategies, efficient time management techniques, and cultivating an optimistic yet grounded outlook. Effective preparation doesn’t involve memorizing facts; rather, it involves equipping oneself with the tools and techniques necessary to approach exam challenges with confidence and competence.

Understanding the Exam Format and Syllabus 

To prepare effectively for an examination, begin by carefully reviewing its format and syllabus. Acquaint yourself with its structure – multiple-choice questions, essays, or practical components – along with any instructions given, marking schemes or marking schemes used, etc. By understanding this aspect of preparation, you can create a study plan by allocating time according to topic weightage or types of questions asked on exams.

Create a Study Schedule 

A customized study schedule is key for successful academic performance. Divide the syllabus into manageable pieces and set specific study goals each session that are both achievable and reasonable. Take note of your peak hours of concentration to allocate challenging topics accordingly – regular study sessions can lead to improved retention and comprehension! Seeking additional support can enhance your study schedule; whether it’s structuring essays or refining study notes, writing services offer valuable assistance. Wondering “If these services can write me a paper?” Well, by utilizing these services, you ensure that your study materials are well-organized and comprehensively prepared, aiding in better retention and understanding during your exam preparation.

Use Varied Study Methods

Find methods of studying that best match your learning style. Reading and summarizing notes may work well for visual learners, while auditory learners might benefit from recording lectures or notes to listen back later. Visual aids like diagrams, mind maps, or flowcharts help organize and retain information more easily. Engaging in conversations or teaching concepts to others is another effective way of deepening understanding of complex topics.

Practice with Past Papers and Mock Tests

Sample exams and sample questions can be invaluable resources. Solving past papers or mock tests simulates the exam environment, becoming familiar with time limits and question styles. Analyze your performance to pinpoint weak areas for further development; devote more time to those sections as necessary; gradually build confidence as practice prepares you for real examination conditions.

Focus on Weak Areas

Focus your study efforts on areas or concepts where you find difficulty and dedicate study sessions specifically for them. Utilize online tutorials and supplementary texts or consult teachers/tutors as additional resources when necessary for better comprehension or clarification purposes. Targeted revision can help strengthen knowledge retention while building confidence.

Prioritize Health and Well-Being

Ensuring both physical and mental well-being during exam preparation is of utmost importance. Make sure you are getting adequate rest, eating a well-balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing any caffeine intake or irregular sleeping patterns that could impede focus or memory retention negatively. Remember to include breaks during study sessions for mental rejuvenation purposes.

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Effective stress management is crucial. Incorporate relaxation techniques into your routine, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness sessions, into your schedule to ease tension. Breaks during study intervals help prevent burnout while maintaining mental clarity. Reducing anxiety has proven its worth in improving concentration and performance.

Revise and Review

Revision becomes ever more essential as an exam date approaches. Review notes, organize concise outlines, or utilize memory aids such as mnemonic devices to aid memory retention. Reviewing topics frequently reinforce learning while decreasing the chances of forgetting essential details. Allocate time for comprehensive revision sessions that cover every subject on the syllabus.

Plan for Exam Day

In preparation for exam day, make sure that everything necessary has been planned ahead. Review your timetable, stationery requirements, and any permissible materials; plan to arrive early at the examination venue so as to minimize last-minute stress; familiarize yourself with examination rules before starting; read instructions carefully prior to beginning your test.

Reflect and Learn

After taking an exam, take time to take stock and reflect upon your performance. Consider both strengths and areas for improvement to refine study strategies for future exams. Seek feedback from teachers or mentors regarding any areas that require more attention or refinement.

Seek Support and Guidance

Don’t hesitate to seek support when encountering challenges. Speaking to teachers and peers or joining study groups can offer unique perspectives and invaluable insight. Online forums or study communities also provide additional support and resources that may provide additional clarity or direction.

Conclusion: Preparation Is Key to Success

Successful exam preparation requires taking an approach that encompasses multiple study methods, time management strategies, and self-care techniques. Recognizing exam formats, employing various study techniques, and prioritizing well-being all contribute to success on exams. Consistent effort, dedication, and an optimistic attitude are crucial components in reaching exam goals successfully.

Every element of the QcK Prism cloth mousepad is amazing. The micro-woven cloth ensures that the surface is smooth and responsive. Subsequently, your mouse will glide over the surface. This buttery smooth movement is essential when you compete at the highest standards. Additionally, the large surface allows you generous swooping motions with no requirement to compromise.

The excellent RGB lighting is placed at the edge of the pad. This was a great move as it creates a glorious hue without being obnoxious or overbearing. What’s more, the lighting is as flexible as the rest of the product. Consequently, I wasn’t worried about broken cables or dead points. 

Finally, the non-slip base is hardy and reassuringly grippy. Subsequently, this mousepad stays put no matter how animated you become. This was great as no one wants their mouse to slip at an inopportune moment.

Is the QcK Prism cloth mousepad worth it?

Improving your gaming set-up is a no-brainer. If you then consider doing this for an affordable price, there should be nothing stopping you. As such, if you want a beautiful mousepad that improves your accuracy, movement, and RGB design, then you should look no further. The QcK Prism cloth mousepad is the best the market offers and I recommend that you buy it here!

Review: DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard

Review: DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard

The DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard made me giddy with excitement. This awesome product looks incredible, sounds amazing, and feels wonderful to hold. Moreover, the responsive switches and striking design will mesmerise any Tolkien fan. Accordingly, if you love Lord of the Rings, this is a must-have product for your gaming or work area.

This amazing prebuilt keyboard has a no-nonsense approach. Consequently, it’ll appease every technophobe or lazy gamer across the globe. However, if you love to hot-swap your keys or customise your peripherals, you may become frustrated. Yet, this shouldn’t be a deal breaker as the keycap profile and responsive switches will impress the toughest of critics.

What’s in the box of the DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard?

  • The packaging is the tip of the beautiful iceberg. The outer sleeve is adorned with a LOTR map. This is an excellent idea as it highlights the amazing build quality. Other than this, the rest of the packaging is great to look at whilst keeping the contents well-protected.
  • The DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard doesn’t disappoint. This solid unit feels heavy and looks impressive. Moreover, the stunning keycaps will blow you away. This TKL format comprises 87 keys and is ideal for smaller workstations.
  • A keycap removal tool will help you to further customise the keyboard.
  • Spare keycaps are provided to change the look of the device.
  • An understated USB-C cable is provided to power the keyboard.
  • Learn the fundamentals with the user manual.

Technical aspects.

I adore it when a company creates its switches. Now, this may not float everyone’s boat, but the Holy Panda X Switches sound cool, and they deliver pinpoint accuracy. These tactile switches are complemented by the Phantom Stabilisers and this is a marriage made in heaven. Not only does it create an impressive typing experience, but they sound great and feel pleasant to use. Consequently, they are fantastic during marathon gaming sessions or if you are typing a work email.

Alongside this, the MT3 Dwarvish keycap profile has a pleasant curvature that hugs the tips of your fingers. As such, I enjoyed playing every game and typing documents with improved accuracy and comfort. Additionally, the travel distance and response rate of the switches make this an ideal gaming keyboard. 

Build quality.

Where the DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard excels is its incredible build quality. However, I want to address one issue before I continue. The supplied USB-C cable doesn’t match this product’s chunky and impressive nature. I’d have expected a robust and colour-matched coiled cable. Instead, you are provided with a suitable but disappointing lightweight alternative. As such, I will change the cable to improve the overall aesthetic.

This problem to one side, you will be blown away by every other aspect. The solid case is heavy and impressive. Moreover, the colour palette matches the theme and transports you to a fantasy world. Additionally, the OSHETART artwork is stunning and the immense Dwarvish runes are complemented by the dark grey anodised aluminium case.

On top of this, the Holy Panda X Switches deliver a glorious clicking sound that is noisy and reassuringly loud. Consequently, if you adore a solid unit that feels great and sounds incredible, this is the keyboard for you.

Is the DROP LOTR Dwarvish keyboard worth it?

The gaming keyboard market is saturated. Subsequently, getting the right one is no easy task. However, if you love The Lord of the Rings, and you want your keyboard to pop, then you need look no further. Not only does it look amazing, but it is built to last, and it is comfortable to use. Furthermore, you are provided with a 3-year standard warranty for peace of mind. As such, I adore this keyboard and I recommend that you buy it here!

How tombola is creating a safe online gaming hub for its players

Enjoyed by millions of people across the world, bingo has come a long way since it first started. However, with bingo halls becoming a thing of the past, the focus has shifted toward online gaming. Like with any online gaming platform, safety and security are of utmost importance for both providers and their players.

One online bingo company that has demonstrated concern for its player base is tombola. The UK’s leading online bingo site is committed to safeguarding its customers and ensuring all players can enjoy their experience without compromising on safety or wellbeing. 

Here we take a look at some of the main measures that tombola put in place to create a safe online gaming hub for their community.

Age verification processes

As part of their commitment to safer gambling, tombola has set up several measures to guarantee all players are of legal age. To ensure nobody under the age of 18 is allowed to join their site, the company carries out automatic checks to verify a player’s age and address. 

If verification isn’t possible, access to games and the site will be prohibited, ensuring all regulations are complied with.

You don’t need to wait long for confirmation either as ID verification can take as little as one hour, thanks to tombola’s partnership with Hooyu. Your data is also safe from third parties and any marketing strategies.

Problem gambling assistance

Tombola is highly regarded for its rigorous procedures and tools that allow players to remain in control when playing. The high quality of these measures is reflected in tombola’s receiving of the prestigious Gold Advanced Level 3 Safer Gambling accreditation from Gamcare.

An example of their on-site gambling safety tools includes the option to set yourself daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to help you monitor your spending. This also includes a stake limit for each game and the ability to block yourself from playing a game for a set period of time.

Tombola’s hardworking Safeplay team is also on-hand to offer support should any players require help during their game.

A supportive community

As a family-owned business, tombola is well-versed in creating a friendly community of players who strive to support each other. Regardless of whether you play via your phone, tablet, or computer, players can engage with others thanks to Chat Moderators who are there to celebrate your wins and have a chatter 24/7.

These moderators are also on hand to watch out for any key areas of concern and provide support where needed. The safety of players is always at the forefront of tombola’s practices and the assistance is there as and when it is required.

Review: MOD 007 PC Keyboard

Review: MOD 007 PC Keyboard

The MOD 007 PC Keyboard from AKKO is a game-changer! Not only does it look amazing, but its magnetic switches ensure that you can compete with elite gamers. Alongside this, you can hot-swap the switches if you so wish. Accordingly, you can adjust this keyboard to get the perfect set-up for you.

On top of this, you can install software from the AKKO site to alter your keystrokes and improve your gaming experience further. Now, word of warning, this takes a little getting used to. However, once you get to grips with the new input methods, you won’t turn back.

Additionally, you cannot ignore the incredible build quality and the striking keycaps. As such, the 7th-year anniversary keyboard is unbelievably beautiful and impressively constructed. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to buy one, you will not be disappointed.

What’s in the box of the MOD 007 PC keyboard?

  • The packaging is stunning and alluring. The vibrant colours and sturdy box catch your eye. Additionally, you can recycle it if you so wish.
  • The MOD 007 PC keyboard is a solid unit. Not only is it heavy and chunky, but it is built to last. On top of this, the keycaps are strong and the clean design looks fantastic.
  • A coiled USB-C cable is provided to enhance the professional finish.
  • Remove the keys with the removal tools.
  • Learn the fundamentals with the user manual.

Technical aspects.

Gaming keyboards have to do a lot to appease their audience. Not only do they have to look great, but they have to be responsive and comfortable. On top of this, there are an array of switches to consider and keycap profiles to choose from. As such, getting the right one for your needs is easier said than done. However, the MOD 007 PC keyboard will ensure that many gamers will grin from ear to ear.

The AKKO magnetic switches are linear whilst delivering a small 4 mm travel distance. Alongside this, they can be customised to improve response rates and usability. With the help of the AKKO software, you can use the Rapid Trigger option. As the magnetic switches have no trigger point, you can lightly tap a key repeatedly to create a fast-paced stream of non-stop inputs. This was a phenomenal option if you love FPS or rhythm-based titles.

However, that is not all! Alongside the RT option, you can incorporate Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS). This challenging-to-understand concept allows you to map 4 inputs to one single keystroke. As such, depending on how heavily you push the key, you’ll activate a different command. Now, this may seem confusing, yet in practice, it is easy to follow. Consequently, once you get used to it, you’ll improve your speed and accuracy.

Hot swap.

If the included magnetic switches don’t take your fancy, you can swap them for regular magnetic switches or 3-pin mechanical switches. However, I urge you to stick with the provided options as they are unbelievably smooth. The included switches have adopted a Hall Effect sensor and this ensures you’ll enjoy faster and more precise keystrokes.

Build quality.

Everything about the MOD 007 PC Keyboard screams “Look at me!”. This awesome peripheral is well-built and stunning to look at. Thanks to the durable PBT materials, the vibrant colours and characters will not fade with time. On top of this, the mechanical switches are robust and will take a pounding before they fail. Moreover, the Gasket Mount material ensures that the typing experience is softer and less harsh than some of its mechanical counterparts.

You may be wondering about RGB lighting. Well, luckily, this keyboard has south-facing RGB backlighting. This was an excellent choice as the keyboard is vibrant enough without an obnoxious light show. Furthermore, if you wish to increase or decrease the brightness you can do so with the chunky control knob. Additionally, this will reduce or increase the volume of music as well.

Finally, the OEM keycaps were comfortable to use. When you complement these with the gasket mount material and the mechanical switches, you have a relaxed and comfortable typing experience.

Is the MOD 007 PC Keyboard worth it?

I adored every element of the MOD 007 PC Keyboard. Not only was it enjoyable to use, but the RT and DKS functionality made it stand out from its peers. Moreover, the magnetic switches are responsive and the build quality is phenomenal. I also loved the ability to hot-swap to a mechanical alternative if you so wished. Accordingly, this product is fantastic and I recommend that you buy it here!

(More information on AKKO can be found here!)

The MOD 007 PC Keyboard has been awarded the Movies Games and Tech Gold Award.
