The virtual reality market is booming, and the technology is moving beyond the infant stages to become far more advanced, at an increasingly rapid pace. As the high-end VR systems like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift pave the way for the technology, they open the door for others to follow. As anyone familiar with VR knows, if you want the best you are going to pay dearly for it.

The Gaming Keyboard Typing Showdown 2015

This article originally appeared on GameCrate . Let’s Talk About Gaming Keyboards Though gaming keyboards often feature a wide variety of enhancements and tweaks that are designed to make them better for controlling PC games, at the end of the day keyboards are tools for typing, and whatever you have hooked up to your rig is what you’re going to use to browse the net, chat with friends, and finish your term paper at 3 AM the day before it’s due because you’ve spent the past three days doing nothing but playing Heroes of the Storm. Typing speed and accuracy matter a great deal, even for gaming keyboards — and so we decided to do an experiment. For this showdown we were interested in the effect these flashy keyboards have on that foundation of the keyboard experience – actual typing. Like words and stuff. Over the course of six weeks, we rotated a selection of keyboards through the hands of six different judges in the Newegg offices. Each judge used each keyboard for a week in order...

Experience StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void

If you’re a StarCraft fan then you should be excited about Legacy of the Void’s release this November. It is the third and final installment of the StarCraft II trilogy. There will be new units and plenty of storyline missions posing challenges as you save the known universe. StarCraft has woven a world where powerful alien races wage war across the galaxy. Battle.net is where the action takes place. There will be new features coming to Battle.net to enhance gameplay and offer more opportunities to compete with friends. Make sure to check out what’s new and to prepare your system to handle this installment of StarCraft. Daily Tournaments One of the newest features of the release are daily tournaments for all players to join. Start testing your skills against seasoned players and newbies alike to get to the top.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ BB-8 comes to Newegg!

Just in time for the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Blu-Ray on April 5, the beloved droid from the film, BB-8, is arriving on Newegg . And yes, this is the BB-8 made by Sphero , which was one of the hottest selling items this past holiday season. BB-8 by Sphero is an app enabled droid that, like the Sphero 2.0 , you can control with your smart phone or tablet. The tech used in the droid is very similar to what they used in the movie, and the toy can feel alive and authentic just like that character did. We had a bit of fun with BB-8 around the office, having it follow and beep at our fellow coworkers. But we had to be careful because the droid is a lot smaller than we expected. While in the film, BB-8 stands about thigh high, the BB-8 by Sphero is just over four inches tall, so we had to be sure our BB-8 was making plenty of noise so it wouldn’t get stepped on.

Exclusive Star Wars keychains come to Newegg

Have you heard of this movie series called Star Wars ? Apparently it’s a big deal. Just look at all the Star Wars toys there are! All kidding aside, Star Wars is bigger than it has ever been in 2016. Star Wars collectibles have been hot for decades, but things are kicking into high gear as the new films are released and a whole new generation gets to fall in love with the franchise in theaters. In that spirit, we’re very pleased to announce a new set of Star Wars keychains themed around the famous Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back. The keychains are a limited edition set, only 5,000 of which have been made. The keychains are enamel set on metal, and feature a Rebel snowspeeder, the Emblem of the Rebel Alliance, and an Imperial Walker. They’re officially licensed by Disney and produced by Plasticolor, a specialist in automotive accessories. A Star Wars history lesson For those who haven’t seen The Empire Strike...

Shark Wheels may have actually reinvented the wheel

One of the sayings that gets kicked around often is “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” But what if there was a better design out there? For something that gets used in so many applications in our everyday lives, the same general design of the wheel has not changed too much in the last 5,000 years; that is, until now. Shark Wheel has designed a wheel that is faster, more efficient, more versatile, and made of less material. First, let me be clear: this is far bigger than just skateboard wheels . This is about a design that could revolutionize many other industries, but we will dive into that more later. Shark Wheel developer David Patrick is an avid skateboarder from Orange County, CA, and has been around the sport his whole life; during that time the wheels used hadn’t changed very much. That got him wondering if there was a better design out there that could provide more speed, a smoother ride, and more efficient travel over uneven terrain. David noticed that in nature movement often...

Road Redemption: An Overview

I really enjoyed my first 8 hours of Road Redemption . It’s an early access game inspired by the Road Rash series of games which was one of my favorites on Sega Genesis. The Road Rash series continued for some time, and on many platforms. The PC version even featured Rusty Cage from Soundgarden . Now their music reminds me of these games and my racing days. Like most good games it died off too soon. While the theme is the same, the gameplay varies but never goes too far off the road from the originals. Gameplay on the Road The game is very similar to Road Rash. You can pick your style of play whether it’s fighting, racing or a mixture of both. You have to win while avoiding cars, rival gangs, cops and other hazards on the road. The graphics look great and they really captured the feeling of rolling hills. Aiming and shooing is tough, but not impossible. It’s something you get better with practice. I also like the two forms of experience points, one being for the current game and an...
