New gear releases/first look
My personal tech arsenal
I’ve officially added Varmilo’s new Muse65 HE metal Hall-Effect keyboard to my battlestation, so I wanted to give it a special mention before it joins the list with my other gear. This is one of my favorite keyboards in the collection right now, and I plan on using this as my main board for a few more months or at least until my other group-buy orders get delivered. The magnetic switches on these feel great for both playing games and typing, and its build quality is also up there with many other premium boards I’ve used. Be sure to check out my review of the Muse65 HE keyboard to learn more.
More of what I use every day is highlighted in the list below:
