Review
The Rastech kit is a decent boast to be the best entry into the device, but is it worth it?
The included case is fine. It is a well-constructed case made of durable plastic that is well-machined and labeled. While it won’t survive being thrown at a wall, it will survive a few drops from your desk. Most importantly, the case is easy to put together. I recommend having your good mini screwdriver however, the one included in my kit was worthless. My only complaint is that there is no power button. There is a hole big enough for the included screwdriver to power cycle the device, but that might get old if it has to be done then. If you’re making this a NAS, it shouldn’t be a problem.
The case seems to allow for good airflow and the included fan does the job. I can’t speak on how it handles a maximum load, but it does casual net surfing and retrogaming well enough. I didn’t notice any throttling through my regular use.
The cables are high quality and a nice add-on. The 64 GB memory is great. Most of you will eventually switch to an M.2 drive, but 64 gigs give you a nice space to play with until then.
If you’re looking for a Raspberry Pi 5 kit and need the cables, the Rastech 64 GB kit is a great place to start. You’re going to want to upgrade to a nicer case eventually, but it is a great place to start.

Review
The Vemico PI 5 kit has everything you need to get you started with what is probably the most fun piece of tinker tech. There are a lot of fun projects available for people at any level of tech comprehension.
I have a PI 4 that I’ve been using as a media server, but it was about time for an upgrade. The 4 is a fantastic piece of tech that I will continue using, but I need something with a bit more power for that higher rez content. I appreciate the inclusion of an onboard power button and the PCIe expansion for that fast SSD memory.
The PI 5 was noticeably faster and handled the required load better. If you are considering making the jump or looking for your first Raspberry Pi, the Vemico kit is a fantastic bargain.
The Pi is easy to set up with the included USB-C adapter. While I do appreciate the inclusion of the SD adapter, USB is more universal. I set up the Pi as both a light-load computer and then transitioned to the media server quickly. It handled both tasks better than the 4, but it does get noticeably hot. I recommend using the included heat sinks or investing in a case to reduce that throttle.
The kit does not include a mini HDMI or case, but this isn’t a huge deal. It is extremely easy to do a headless setup for most cases, but mini HDMI cords are inexpensive. There are kits out there that include a case, but most of those are cheap and not very good. Depending on what you intend to use your PI for, you’re going to have to buy a case anyway. There are a lot of good options out there, and some even with RGB.
What makes this bundle worth it is the included high-quality power supply. This is a well-made chord that is perfect if you intend to travel with your PI, or if you want some extra piece of mind. My four has a flimsy cable that does the job, but I count the days until it fails me.
If you’re looking for a Raspberry PI kit, the Vemico kit is a great starting point. You can pick up the Vemico Raspberry Pi 5 kit on Amazon for $105.99 using my affiliate link.
Epomaker sent me their Galaxy 100 keyboard to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. Make sure you also check out my latest review for the HE75 Mag.

Features
If you are looking for a full-sized keyboard that will upgrade your aesthetic, enhance your productivity, and not break the bank, then the Epomaker Galaxy 100 is what you’re looking for.
The keyboard comes in two colors, an elegant black and a gray with some soft pastels that truly pop. The keys, keycaps, and volume dial are easily swappable so that you always have a keyboard that fits your aesthetic. Its soft, south facing RGB back light comes with a few preprogrammed profiles, but it can be toggled off at any time. It sports a heavy aluminum frame that looks great and keeps your keyboard firm and secure.
The Galaxy 100 supports both Bluetooth 5 and 2.5Ghz connections which means you won’t have to clutter your desk with a cable. The keyboard does support a wired connection through the included high quality cable, but you will hardly need it with its boasted 800mAh battery. Moreover, its boasted minimal latency (2.81ms [usb], 4.72ms [wireless], 15ms [bluetooth]) means it is a solid gaming keyboard for those who need it.
Arguably, the Galaxy 100‘s best feature is its QMK/VIA compatibility. All 101 keys can be remapped and programmed so to fit your needs. Whether it is gaming or editing, this thing is ready at a very good price point.

Review
I did not know how badly I needed a full-sized keyboard until I got the Galaxy 100. This keyboard has been a godsend for my workflow, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a full-sized keyboard.
Out of the box, this keyboard looks amazing. Not only is it well constructed, but it is a very pretty keyboard. The RGB is soft but vibrant enough to make the keys pop, and the color scheme is fantastic. I got mine in grey and adore the soft pastels and the coordinated layout of the keys.
Noise-wise, the Galaxy 100 is a little quieter than I am used to. Keypresses make a satisfying pop without filling the room, which the people around me seem to appreciate. It isn’t silent, but you’re going to be disappointed if you’re looking for something with a bit more click-clack.
Functionally, the keyboard is fine. The keys are soft and responsive, and I got about 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. At the very least, it can handle the demands of hours of casual gaming, which is good enough for me.
Unfortunately, comfort is where this keyboard loses me a bit. While it doesn’t destroy my hands like other cheaper brands do, it does trigger my RTS after prolonged use. Note that this is an issue unique to me. I use my keyboard for longer than the average user and require specific ergonomics for prolonged use. This shouldn’t be a problem for the normal consumer, but those looking for an ergonomic setup will need to keep looking. That said, I will continue to use this keyboard for work because the number pad and the ability to program macros are invaluable.
The Galaxy 100 is a fantastic full-sized keyboard for anyone looking for one. It looks great and it reinforces the idea that Epomaker makes a great keyboard. You can pick up your own Epomaker Galaxy 100 in Black or Grey from the official Epomaker store!
I was sent the Fifine Ampligame V3 capture card to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. Make sure to check out my latest review on the Fifine M9 microphone system.

Features
The Fifine Ampligame V3 capture card is a budget card that promises high-quality capture at a fraction of the cost. Need to capture gameplay from the hottest new console release, the V3 has your back with up to 1080p resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. If you enjoy your games at a higher resolution, the V3 has a pass-through feature so you can play at your desired resolution with minimal latency.
Streaming console games has never been easier. With its easy-to-read instructions, the V3 can be up and running on OBS in no time. Need to record some dialogue? Put in your mic and headphones to the card and enjoy its crisp clear sound. If the features don’t win you over, its sleek design and subtle RGB most definitely will.
Gameplay Capture
Review
I’ve been very impressed with the Fifine lineup of products, but the Ampligame V3 Capture card falls flat. I was impressed by the V3’s lightweight design, but it does feel a bit cheap. It has a solid construction, but I wouldn’t drop it. The RGB has a nice soft glow, but it is unnecessary.
Setup is incredibly easy. The device only works through OBS. Most streamers and content creators should already have OBS installed, so it is nice to not have to download more third-party software. The latency is noticeable through OBS. I recommend using the passthrough to a monitor for anything competitive.
The capture is fine, but you are getting what you paid for.
Everything looks too dark, and it struggles to capture all the frames. While it should handle most Switch games, I wouldn’t trust it to handle anything too demanding. It isn’t unserviceable, especially if you plan to cover old-school games.
Unfortunately, I could not get the audio to work without a sound mixer. Luckily I had the Fifine S3 mixer on hand, but everyone else will be out of luck. I couldn’t find a workaround, and I found threads where others ran into the same issue. While it works fine with the mixer, other devices are just plug-and-play.
I can’t recommend the Ampligame V3 capture card because it doesn’t offer enough to be worth the money. If you want to barely record at 1080p and don’t care about fps or sound, sure. Everyone else needs a card that is more consistent and reliable. I’d skip this for now.

Epomaker HE75 Keyboard

Wireless Dongle
Features
The HE75 Mag is a stylish 75% form factor gaming keyboard designed by gamers, making it the ultimate upgrade to any setup. Its lightweight and sturdy design makes it ideal for travel and those extra sweaty gaming sessions. The keyboard supports Bluetooth 5 devices, but there is a 2.4 Ghz dongle for those who need it. When the 4000mAh finally decides to die, you won’t have to stop gaming because playing with the included wired connection is just as good if not better.
If media controls are important to you, the keyboard comes preprogrammed with everything you need and an interchangeable dial for the volume. The subtle backlighting is ready to elevate the elegance of this finely crafted keyboard, but it can be toggled off with a push of a button.
If you’re looking for comfort, you will be hard-pressed to find anything more comfortable. The HE75 has a 15-degree natural slant but built-in stands to help users find their ideal comfortable position. The interchangeable hall effect switches not only make this keyboard soft to the touch, but incredibly responsive. With only about 1 ms wireless latency, you’ll be ready for any challenge that comes your way. Best of all, the actuation is customizable for maximum performance.

Review
The Epomaker HE75 Mag has easily become my favorite keyboard. Its beautiful ombre purple scheme drew me in, and the soft RGB effect kept my attention, but the performance is what made me fall in love. I get a repetitive stress disorder easily and have become incredibly picky with the keyboards I use. I have never used a more comfortable keyboard than the HE75 Mag. The default angle is nice but the built-in stands make it perfect for my build. While it may not be strictly ergonomic, I see no reason to stop using it.
I appreciate that this keyboard is light enough for travel, but it will remain firm during the most intense gaming sessions. It definitely feels like it can take a tumble or two.
As far as gaming keyboards go, the HE75 Mag is a solid contender. The hall effect switches are incredibly responsive without putting much strain on the user’s hand. I didn’t notice a difference in latency between the wired and wireless connection, which is always appreciated. Best of all, I was getting about 10 hours of battery life with the RGB on, which translates to the perfect amount of uninterrupted gaming.
If you’re looking for your next gaming keyboard, you need to pick up the Epomakero HE75. Not only is this the prettiest keyboard you’ll own, but its performance won’t disappoint. This is the keyboard you buy when you want to upgrade your setup and do well on your raids for a reasonable price. It also makes for a fantastic present.
I was sent the Fifine M9 wireless lavalier microphone set to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review of the device.
This compact and portable system is the perfect addition to your kit. Whether traveling the world or recording in a studio, the Fifine M9 system is ready for any task. With a five-hour life span on a single charge (30 total with the charging case), it has enough juice to get the job done.
This easy to setup device is compatible with phones, tablets, laptops, and cameras. Best of all, all the cables you need come included! Whether you’re plugging into your camera, or recording content on your phone, this thing is ready!
Most importantly, the microphones have an impressive sensitivity of -38dB. This means they filter out a lot of background noise so you can record on the busiest streets without worrying too much about quality. Wherever you end up recording, the M9 system boasts a clear and crisp capture at a magnificent price point.
The M9 wireless mic system comes neatly packaged. I am always impressed by Fifine’s attention to detail and elegant packaging. The system comes inside a well-made, high-quality carrying case. I love that the case is sectioned and everything has its pace.
Everything inside the box looks very well made. The charging case, mics, and receiver all have a sleek and stylish finish, and the cables feel sturdy and durable. I like that they coil for easy and neat storage. The fuzzy wind filters are a nice touch for those who record outside regularly.
The M9 System is the most impressive mic I have come across. I was able to get the three-hour battery life as advertised, which was more than enough for my needs. Battery life aside, the sound capture is what truly blew me away. I don’t normally like the sound of my own voice, but maybe I have been using the wrong microphone. Not only does this thing filter a lot of background noise, it does an amazing job capturing voices.
If you’re looking for a good microphone for content creation, or just to have good-sounding recordings, get the Fifine M9 lavalier mic system. This device is easy to set up, compatible with whatever you need, and it is possibly the crispest sound you’re getting at this price point. Fifine once again makes a fantastic product at a reasonable price and just in time for Christmas!

What’s in the box?
The keyboard comes neatly packed with:
Thick and Sturdy USB-C to USB-A cable
Key Cap and Switch Puller Tool
Mac Keys
4 Replacement Switches
Removable Mini Display
2.4G Dongle
Features
The Epomaker RT65is a lightweight 65% keyboard with a retro yet modern design to elevate any desk space. It features south-facing customizable LED lights that can be customized through third-party software to fit any aesthetic. The RGB can be turned off at any time.
The RT65 can be used through a wired connection with the included stylish cable but also supports Bluetooth and wireless connections. The RT 65 can switch between three devices with its speedy Bluetooth 5.0 connection and the included 2.4 dongle.
The RT65 has a couple of unique gimmicks that help set it apart from its competition. The mini display is fully customizable and shows users important information like date, time, and battery life. The attached joystick can be used for the device’s media controls and mouse.
Most importantly, this compact keyboard has a respectable 3000 mAh battery.
I was skeptical because this is by far the smallest keyboard I have ever used, and I am not a small man. It didn’t take me long to get used to the smaller layout, and the soft keys make it a more comfortable typing experience than my old, more expensive ergonomic setup.
Setting up the RT65 is extremely user-friendly. Connections are either plug-and-play or a few seconds of pairing. The included guide is easy to read and very valuable, especially for learning all the preprogrammed shortcuts. There is official software available for the keyboard, but it is only needed for customizing the keyboard when the preprogrammed options aren’t good enough.
The keyboard comes with a few preprogrammed RGB profiles that can be toggled off. Users can easily create their own RGB profiles, change the keyboard layout, create macros, and change the image on the mini display through the official software. The software is easy to use, and I like the amount of customization options available. It took a bit of tinkering, but I finally created a profile I am happy with, although I will probably need to find some new key caps to make it fit my desired aesthetic.
As for the battery, I was able to get about eight hours of use after a full charge with the lights and mini display going. I am sure I could get a longer session if everything turned off, but the keyboard looks so good with everything on. I do like that I can take off the mini display for when I travel, want to save battery or want something a little more subtle on my desk.
I hardly used the joystick. The joystick feels nice to the touch, but I forget it is there. It is an interesting gimmick that gives the keyboard its unique aesthetic, but it isn’t the reason to get the keyboard. The same can be said about the mini display, but I like how both look on the keyboard.
The Epomaker RT 65 has become my daily driver because of its unique aesthetic, solid battery life, and comfortable design. I wouldn’t call it the most ergonomic experience, but it feels a lot better than what I was using before. If you’re looking to upgrade your setup, or simply looking for a quality mechanical keyboard that won’t break the bank, get the RT 65. It is an excellent keyboard that lives up to its marketing.
You can pick up the Epomaker RT 65 off the official website.
Epomaker sent me their most popular keyboard, the P75 with the Wisteria Linear switches, for free to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. You can find the P75 and Epomaker’s other stylish keyboards on their official website.
What’s in the Box?
The P75 comes beautifully packed. Inside you’ll find:
The Epomaker P75 Keyboard
Braided USB-A to USB-C chord
The space bar, arrow keys, and escape button in white (for those who want that all-white aesthetic
Wireless dongle
3 replacement switches
Key puller tool
Allen wrench
Features
The P75 is a 75% keyboard with wired, wireless, and Bluetooth support. It allows connectivity to several devices from laptops, phones, and even popular gaming consoles. Its south-facing 8-color RGB makes it easy to see the 16 preprogrammed profiles. Coupled with the easily swappable keys and keycaps, the P75 is a perfect fit for any setup. The P75’s 4000mAh gives users a solid wireless session, and the volume dial is a nice touch.
Most importantly, the keyboard comes in three switches for a completely customizable experience. The available switches:
The Epomaker P75 is a fantastic mechanical keyboard. I love the sleek design of its aluminum finish and the simple yet beautiful color scheme. The Wisteria Tactile Switches emit a beautiful creamy click that I find incredibly satisfying. Be mindful. It is a little loud, and the sound might annoy the people around you.
While the keyboard is easy to setup, I recommend keeping the manual. The keyboard comes preprogrammed with various useful commands for controlling RBG, media, check the battery, and open certain programs. The commands are easy to memorize, especially if you only care about the ones you use most often.
I used to only ever use wired connections, but I am converted. I like the lack of clutter and how easy it is to switch between devices. I have the devices connected to my gaming pc and work laptop, and switching between them is as easy as flipping the switch. The switch is easy to reach and responsive without it being too easily flipped.
I used the keyboard for both work and gaming and was impressed by the battery life. With the RGB turned up, I get a solid eight hours of steady heavy use. I can get a longer session with the RGB turned off, but it looks so pretty that, I didn’t want to test it.
The keys feel very good to the touch, and make typing a delight. Gaming with the P75 is a solid experience. The keys are responsive enough for any style of gaming, and they are soft enough that they don’t require hard presses. I am glad this keyboard doesn’t destroy my hands after an intense gaming session.
I get pretty bad repetitive stress disorder, and the wrong keyboard destroys my hands. I typically use a special keyboard to avoid a painful flair-up, so there was some anxiety when I switched to the P75. While it is by no means a true replacement for my original ergonomic setup, I am having trouble finding a reason to switch back. There is still some faint pain that comes after prolonged use, but it isn’t anything unbearable. I’ve had keyboards that leave my hands useless, but P75 is comfortable. That doesn’t mean I won’t try to get one of their split options for comparison, but I think this will remain my daily driver until my hands say otherwise.
The Epomaker P75 is a fantastic mechanical keyboard for anyone looking. Its size, color scheme, and wireless capabilities make it the perfect candidate for any minimalistic setup. If you’re looking for a quality yet budget mechanical keyboard, I can’t recommend this enough.
You can pick up your Epomaker P75 for $99.99 on the official website.
Fifine sent me their A22 Speakers for free to review for my blog. While I am very grateful, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. If you’re interested in any of the other Fifine products, like H9 Gaming Headset, the AM8 Streaming Microphone, or the SC3 Gaming Mixer, check out my reviews.
What’s in the box?
The box comes with the instructions, a power cord, 2 usb cables to connect everything together, and an aux cord. You also get the two speakers with the sub woofer snugly packed in its protective foam cutout. I am very impressed by the simple yet effective packaging.
Features
The A22 is a compact speaker system with an easy plug-and-play setup. It supports multiple devices through its easy-to-access ports located on the back of the subwoofer. The A22 includes ports for the two speakers, an aux cord, a USB-C cable, an optical cable, and headphones. It is also Bluetooth-compatible in case you run out of ports.
On top of the subwoofer, you have buttons for power, media and audio control, input selection, equalizer modes, and RGB control. The buttons are made from a soft-feeling rubber and are very responsive.
These wouldn’t be a gaming speaker without any RGB. Located on the front of the speakers is an elegant strip of customizable RGB for that matching aesthetic.
Review
The Fifine A22 speakers are a neat little system with a sleek design and decent sound. You aren’t going to throw any house parties with these, but they are good enough for the day-to-day. The bass is deep enough, the sound is loud enough and full enough. Watching movies and TV with the A22s was an enjoyable experience, and the sound was a lot better than my phone. For gaming, these aren’t going to beat the full immersive sound of a good set of headphones, but they will do the job when you don’t want your ears to get hot and sweaty. Overall, these have a solid sound stage for what you’re paying.
My desk tends to get cluttered very quickly, so I appreciate the size of this system. They are big enough to deliver the sound I need without taking too much desk real estate. I like the simple design. I appreciate that they look like gaming speakers without being overbearing with the gaming aesthetic.
I appreciate the amount of connections featured on this thing. Because of my workflow, it is nice not having to constantly connect and disconnect devices just so I can have audio. Even though it would be extremely easy to do on the A22, it’s nice that I can press a button and switch from my desktop audio to Bluetooth and still have room for my laptop. It would be cool to have a remote way to control the device for those who want to keep the system hidden. But unless you’re constantly switching inputs or RGB settings, this isn’t an issue, and a remote would be unnecessary.
The built-in equalizer feels more like a gimmick. It hardly makes a difference, but I preferred the music setting. It feels like it gives the sound the most depth, but again the differences in quality are negligible.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive sound system for your gaming setup, you can’t go wrong with the A22s. Sure the bass could be deeper, the sound could be fuller, but they are good enough for the price point.
You can pick up the Fifine A22 speakers on Amazon for $72.99 using my affiliate link.
I was sent the Fifine SC3 Gaming Audio Mixer to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review.
What’s in the Box?
The mixer comes neatly and safely packaged in a plain box. Inside, you get a copy of the instruction manual, a USB-C to USB-A cable, an aux cord, and the mixer. The instructions are easy to read, but the device is even easier to use with very little guidance. The USB cable and Aux cord are a decent length, but you might want to invest in a better aux cord if you want better sound.
Sound Quality
The SC3 Mixer is going to elevate your setup. You will get better sound than plugging your headphones into the motherboard, but most importantly, you’re getting amazing voice recordings out of the box. I used the mixer with the Fifine H9 gaming headset and am very impressed with the sound quality I got. You can use something like a voice meter to get a more professional sound, but I don’t think you need to. If you’re looking for the easiest and cheapest way to upgrade your sound for streams, the SC3 is what you need. I’ll leave a sample of the sound below:
The SC3 comes with a voice changer feature. This feature includes six easily toggleable presets: male, female, robot, monster, baby, and elder. This feature isn’t great, but it is fun. The male, female, and elder presets are the most usable of the batch. I’ll leave samples of the different profiles below.
There are volume-controlling sliders for the mic, line-in, headphones, and line-out with corresponding mute buttons for each. There is also an autotune feature. I can’t sing to save my life and didn’t mess around too much with me. It feels a little basic, but it’s a fun and silly feature like the voice changer.
Of course, the SC3 wouldn’t be a gaming accessory without any RGB. The mixer has a solid collection of light profiles so you can always have a matching setup. The soft underflow is a very nice touch. I like the fact that I can toggle off the RGB if I need my desk to look less busy.
My favorite feature is the four programmable soundboard buttons. Each button can easily record and store your favorite sound bite to play during your stream or podcast. I already have my profiles loaded and ready for D&D silliness.
Quality
The SC3 mixer looks cheap, but the construction is sturdy. The sliders make the device feel cheap. I never had any issues with the sliders, but it feels like they will break after extensive use. That said, the SC3 will survive enough normal wear and tear to be worth the money you spend on it.
The buttons feel good and make up for the quality of the sliders. All buttons are easy to read, responsive, and soft. I like that the buttons glow white when they are in use, and make great use of their RGB lighting effects when not.
You are getting what you pay for, but it won’t break after a week of use.
Review
The SC3 mixer has become my daily driver for my home setup. It not only looks good on my desk, but it is also practical. The SC3 provides a decent soundstage. I would have liked a little more bass, but there is enough of it to make it an enjoyable experience. Most people who aren’t audiophiles will be content with the sound.
Voice recordings through the mixer is a fantastic experience. You aren’t getting studio quality, but the quality you’re getting is good enough for most cases. Without any tinkering or third-party software, you’re getting a good sound recording. The experience will vary based on the mic, but I did feel like I was getting a better-sounding recording from my Fifine H9 gaming headset. You can use something like voicemeter to make it sound more professional, but I don’t think it’s necessary. The SC3 mixer is an upgrade out of the box.
Quality isn’t an issue. The build looks solid, and it looks fine on the table. It does feel cheap, but I am not afraid of it breaking any time soon. This isn’t a buy-it-for-life situation, but it is a quality budget-friendly option. This is the device you buy while you save up for the expensive upgrade.
The SC3 is a very user-friendly and responsive mixer. Setup is easy, but there are some quality tutorials out there if you need them. I appreciate how responsive the controls are, especially if you’re using it for commercial purposes.
My only real complaint is that having your phone connected with the included aux cord sounds bad. There was a lot of static. A better AUX cord might fix this, but I wasn’t able to test one.
If you’re looking for a quality mixer that isn’t going to break your bank, check out the Fifine SC3. This mixer is a fantastic option for those looking to get into streaming or podcasting. You’re getting a decent amount of features for a good device that will hold you over till you’re ready for the upgrade. It doesn’t offer much customization in terms of equalizers, but you don’t really need them yet. While I do see some everyday use, this might be a bit overkill for everyone else. Unless you need the features, I would go with the Fifine H9 Gaming headset if you’re looking to upgrade your mic and sound. I am happy with the SC3, and recommend it to anyone in the market for a mixer.
