If you’re a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog’s adventures, I’ve got bad news for you: his archnemesis one-ups him, and the new Sonic x Shadow Generations might leave you wanting more. But as a Shadow fan, this is the one I’ve been waiting for. Come on, it’s time we gave the anti-hero another game of his own! This trippy adventure through time and space feels like a breath of fresh air — and I can’t stop playing it.

Developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega, of course, Sonic x Shadow Generations is the latest single-player game that basically brings you two games in one: the 2011 Sonic...

Keychron and its gaming sub-brand Lemokey have put out some of the best mechanical keyboards. When a keyboard from either lands on my desk, I expect premium construction and performance that’s hard to top. The Lemokey X5 is one such keyboard that performs exceptionally well while not breaking the bank.

The bigger sibling of the Lemokey X1 and Lemokey X3 — both of which I’ve reviewed — the X5 is a 96% wired mechanical keyboard, ideal for casual gaming and typing. Its 1,000Hz polling rate and anti-ghosting tech make it a great performer, and its responsive switches are a joy to type on...

Audio is a big part of gaming, and I believe it can make or break a game. If you’re an avid gamer like me, you want to make the most of your console or PC, and you need one of the best gaming headsets for a truly immersive experience. If you want a headset to match your PlayStation 5 or a PlayStation Portal, look no further than the Pulse Elite headset.

Draped in the classic PlayStation black and white colors, the Pulse Elite is a fantastic headset that’s comfortable to wear for long sessions, and it runs for 30 hours on a single charge — just what you need if you’re holed up trying to...

Tech giant DJI has had a busy year, having released the entry-level DJI Neo drone and the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro action camera before we even entered fall. And now the Air 3S has joined the roster.

There are way too many things to love about the Air 3S. It succeeds the one-year-old Air 3 and brings a significant internal storage upgrade — you get 42GB of internal memory alongside a microSD slot. As we’ve come to expect from DJI, rest assured that you’ll be getting stable 4K/60fps footage and the ability to record 10-bit D-Log M video, crystal clear stills thanks to its dual camera system...

We all have bucket lists, don't we? Things we want to do before we die and if we're lucky, we'll get to tick all of them off. Well, I've just checked off the #1 item on my bucket list: seeing the Northern Lights, nature's most fascinating phenomenon. I thought I'd have to travel to Iceland or northern Norway to catch a glimpse — little did I know the opportunity would present itself on October 10, nearing midnight, while visiting my brother in Yorkshire, U.K.

I've been a lifelong photography enthusiast but I live by a simple mantra: the best camera is the one in your hands when something...

As Staff Writer Reviews at Tom's Guide, I get to test lots of cool consumer tech, from the best mechanical keyboards to the best drones, but I'm always the most excited when I get my hands on an instant camera. These nifty gadgets require thorough testing, so I usually spend up to a week with one. Quick math: I believe I've spent over 500 hours with all the ones I've tested so far, and I've got three others on my to-do list.

But which would I recommend? If you're planning on picking one up and can't decide, don't worry — I'm here to take you through the three best instant cameras and the...

Here at Tom’s Guide, we’ve reviewed some fantastic Corsair keyboards, with the Corsair K70 Max rightfully keeping its number one spot on our best gaming keyboards round-up. But Corsair makes sub-$100 keyboards too, so if you can’t overly stretch your budget, there are options out there. Is the K55 RGB Pro one of them?

This membrane keyboard comes with dedicated macro keys for gaming and productivity, and media controls too. It also has a detachable wrist rest, which is very comfortable. Better still is its $59 price tag. So what’s wrong? Well, its gaming performance (not great for a “Pro”...

As someone who types for a living and reviews at least two keyboards every week, I know what makes a good keyboard. It should offer a comfortable typing (or gaming) experience, the switches should be responsive, the keycaps should be durable — these are just a few things to consider to determine whether it’s one of the best keyboards. So how about the Cherry MX LP 2.1? It’s definitely up there.

This low-profile keyboard comes with super speedy responsive switches, and it offers a delightful typing experience. With a 1,000Hz polling rate, it’s well-suited for casual gaming too, and its...

Many of the best mechanical keyboards I’ve tested at Tom’s Guide look similar, more often than not. It’s rare that a keyboard lands on my desk and I say, “That’s wild.” So when I saw the GravaStar Mercury K1 Pro, I audibly gasped.

Much like the Mercury M1 Pro gaming mouse and Lofree Block, the Mercury K1 Pro keyboard looks like it could fit on the set of a sci-fi movie. Its spider legs, dual independent RGB lighting systems, and sturdy build are its main attractions, but it’s also a stellar keyboard to type on. The Kailh Speedy Mint linear switches I tested are responsive and creamy, and...

You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on a keyboard to get great gaming performance — just ask Redragon. They have lots of budget options under $100, and the Blue Siren K654 has joined the roster.

The Blue Siren K654 packs a punch. This full-size keyboard comes with hot-swappable switches that are responsive and feel good, making it great for both typing and gaming. Its 1,000Hz polling rate ensures you don’t encounter latency issues while playing, and the responsive switches help you avoid typos. It’s a looker too, with its multi-tone shine-through blue keycaps and RGB backlighting...

Do you type for a living? I do, and on average, I bash out around 1,500 words a day, five days a week. It's funny — you don't actually realize the importance of good ergonomic gear until you start experiencing discomfort in your wrists. As I approach my 30s, it feels more important than ever to look after myself. As Staff Reviews Writer, I get to review the best mechanical keyboards, and I feel like I've just struck gold with the Keychron Q14 Max — and it's the best ergonomic keyboard I've tested so far.

What makes an ergonomic keyboard good? A comfortable layout, switches that don't take...

As an avid gamer, I can usually be found sinking hours into the best PS5 games, and the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Ghost of Tsushima, and more. I also own a Nintendo Switch and have logged over 600 hours in both Link-led Zelda games, Mario Kart 8, and others. But you know what game I've been obsessed with recently? Overcooked. Which is easily one of the best co-op games around right now. And if you've been finding it hard to justify paying full price, you're in luck: Overcooked! All You Can Eat is currently 60% off at the Nintendo Store.

If you're looking for a game to play with your non...

Thermal imaging has come a long way, and it’s more accessible than ever. You don’t need to dish out thousands of dollars on dedicated tools anymore, as has been proven by the TOPDON TC001/TC002 thermal camera lenses.

This device is so cool that you can plug it into your smartphone and voila, you’ve got a thermal camera at your disposal. The TC001 is capable of measuring temperature in the ranges of 4-302°F (-20-150°C) in normal mode, and 302-1022°F (150°C-550°C) in high mode, and readings are very accurate. This compact and highly portable device is aimed at home inspectors, electricians...

I’ve reviewed some beautiful keyboards, some that have missed the mark and some that just hurt your eyes. The MelGeek MADE68 is a sight for sore eyes and the antithesis of ugly keyboards, including some especially outlandish examples from MelGeek itself.

This Hall Effect magnetic keyboard comes in clutch when you need it most thanks to the per-key adjustable actuation. Its 1,000Hz polling rate is great for FPS and RPG titles, and the 60% layout means you can easily travel with it. What’s more, it looks gorgeous with its RGB lightbox and per-key backlighting. With detailed companion...

Whether you already own a PS5 or are gearing up for the upcoming PS5 Pro, you need one of the best gaming headsets to enhance your experience. As Amazon's October Prime Day deals approach the end, I've got a sweet deal for you: would you like to save up to $101 on one of the Sony Inzone headsets? You're in luck.

That's right: the Sony Inzone H3, H5 and H9 are all heavily discounted, and today's your last chance to save on them. And you'll save big. For example, the Sony Inzone H9 is currently 34% off at Amazon, and for a gaming headset of its caliber, it's well worth it. This is also the...
