In the keyboard world, few companies command as much cachet as Vortexgear. Since the release of their flagship Pok3r keyboard, they’ve made a habit of challenging convention. Today, we’re looking at their latest release with the Tab 90 mechanical keyboard. It’s a full-size board in a compact package, complete with onboard macro programming, double-shot dye sub keycaps, and bluetooth. Live dangerously, my friends; it’s time to step outside the world of “gaming” keyboards.

As such, next year’s story and adventure will be something truly special for Elder Scrolls Online players.”
Forty-eight percent. That’s how far I am in Red Dead Redemption 2 and yet it feels like there’s so much more game that I have yet to discover, some might even say fifty-two percent more… I’ve just begun to play with the skill challenges. In Read Dead, I don’t mind them. In fact, they are a nice simple reprieve from the storyline content and fit well into the random stuff gameplay rotation I adore.
