Pulsar's X2 mice take that idea and go the opposite direction, opting for simple, subtle designs backed by high-quality components. Both the X2 V2 and X2H lines are slate black with minimal lighting - only a small charging…

So, whether you’re building your own keyboard or picking up a prebuild, you’ll need to decide which type of switches you’ll be typing and gaming on. But there…

Written by @Julia_V The ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 has been one of my most anticipated laptops to test and write about.

The Studiobook is one of the most beautiful, unique,…
In 3D Printing, the end product is often a culmination of precise engineering and mechanics. One of the most crucial components in this process is the extruder. The extruder is responsible for feeding the filament, the primary material for printing, into the printer in a controlled and consistent manner. Its effectiveness…
In the intricate world of 3D printing, firmware plays a pivotal role, acting as the bridge between software instructions and tangible printed objects.

Purchased @ Patterson NJ location. Timeframe: 06/2022 -- 10/2022
My Canon came with simplified free version of Corel VideoStudio, which frankly I find wretched. What is everyone using to edit video? I don't mind paying one time but I refuse to get sucked into Adobe's subscription nightmare. I mainly just need to trim out excess startup time and maybe trailing time and also the camera…
I purchased all my parts at Microcenter Fairfax and would like to upgrade my current build.

Hello, I just built a gaming PC over a month ago and it randomly reboots and seems to occur mostly when launching a game and/or Steam. It has also rebooted simply just at the desktop as well. I don't get a BSOD and the screen just goes black and then the MSI logo eventually comes up indicating a reboot. The only event log…

Written by @Rye_Bread I’ve always had a thing for keyboards. Back when I was working primarily in the General Sales department, I spent many an hour testing out all of the cool demos we had on display trying to find my favorite one. Even now that I work in the Systems Department, I still find moments to wander back into…

I have a 2 year old Dell 5820 Tower, very happy with it, plus Logi S265 2.1 THX speakers. Motherboard sound bangs loud and very annoying. I'd like to buy a sound card and one that supports the THX if possible. I'm close to Cambridge so asking you all for recommendations. There are so many I'm overwhelmed. Thanks in advance.
If I buy a product from Micro Center that comes with a free item from Micro Center, does the free item also need be returned if making an extended warranty claim on the purchased product? Example 1: Ryzen CPU that Micro Center included a free 32GB RAM kit. Does the RAM also need to be returned if there's a warranty claim…

Today I launched a game, beamng.drive, and for some weird reason I was running at 20FPS with a 6950 XT. Normally I would get around my monitors max display output (165FPS) but today I did not. I rebooted, no change. I then tried different games and saw it happened in all of them except 2. I reinstalled drivers, reseated…
I'm not sure which GPU to pick. I've heard bad things about 4060ti's but that could be wrong and not sure if the $300 jump to 4070ti worth it. I won't be doing super hard gaming (GTA, iRacing, Forza, Madden) but want something that will last for a while and still be able to keep up. $300 difference between the 4060 and…

We've received reports from some users that their PowerSpec G516 does not wake from sleep using certain monitor configurations.

Hello, I am new to PC building and of course have a difficult time trying to pick parts. I saw the PowerSpec G443 Gaming PC and I thought it was a really good build.

I have the G516 and have been using 2 monitors with no problems (only had the computer 1 week). This morning my monitors went into sleep mode and I can't get the second monitor to display. I have tried unplugging, different cords and even clearing CAPS and nothing has helped. My monitor just keeps saying no signal. I only…
