The tenkeyless version of our favourite wireless keyboard Full disclosure, neither the UK nor US versions of these deal are quite as good as the better-than-half-price saving that the full-size G915 Lightspeed Wireless got during yesterday’s first round of Prime Day discounts. Still, that offer is no longer available, leaving the smaller G915 Lightspeed Wireless as its cheap replacement. It’s like the bit inShadow of the Colossuswhere the demon dies but reincarnates as a tiny baby, only it’s a keyboard, and the keyboard is on sale, and you can buy the keyboard....

Bird Snapper is a nice little free game While the Tour De France is currently zooming about the Alps, the next stage of my own cycling journey through video games leads somewhere far flatter—and weirder.Bird Snapperis a nice little free game that’s just you, an endless grey desert, a bicycle, a howling night, and innumerable antennae and electricity pylons. A walking simulator on two wheels, with a bell. I’ve mentioned Bird Snapper on RPS afewtimesover the years, yet never got around to focusing on it....

Learn how to put together the best possible Heizou build in Genshin Impact Speaking for myself, I’ve always found Catalyst wielders less appealing than the other four weapon user types because of how squishy they can feel in close combat, so I’ve been looking forward to Heizou’s introduction and the opportunity to properly pummel a few fools in between hurling Anemo spells at them. So read on for details of the best build we’ve seen for Shikanoin Heizou, including his best weapons, artifacts, party members, and more....

I’m this close to forgetting which side I’m on When a friend introduced the Invisible Guardian to me, I was blown away by the high production values. The game recreates its historical settings in a stunning fashion. But what made me stay up all night to finish it was the clever writing and interactive storyline used to grab the player’s attention. Players take control of Xiao Tu, a Chinese intellectual who has just arrived in war-torn China from the Empire of Japan....

Top performing headsets, between £25 and £70 off While the Cloud II is a few years old now, it’s as timeless as a wired gaming headset can feasibly be, combining high mic quality with balanced, detailed sound output and a brilliantly comfortable fit. I bought and used one as my main headset for probably thousands of hours before switching, just earlier this year, to the Cloud Alpha Wireless. This carries over those same qualities with the bonus of wireless connectivity and, most notably, unbelievably long battery life....

The 1TB and 2TB models – both capacious enough to act as your PC’s sole storage drive – have Prime-exclusive savings on Amazon UK, with the 1TB SN570 a few quid cheaper than it was duringlast year’s Black Friday sales.
