Hi Fam,

First of all A Very Happy Navratri / Durga Puja 💖😊

I've put together an in-depth look at the AULA F75 lineup, comparing the F75, Pro, Max, and Ultra, along with their differences in features, internals, and overall experience.

I also did a full teardown of the F75 Ultra to explore its internals, build, and modding potential.

This should greatly help anyone planning to buy AulaF75 this season.

It's not possible to cover every detail in a Reddit post without making it unnecessarily long, so if you're interested in the finer details and the complete teardown, do check out the video! Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with the F75 series. 👇

Hope this Helps <3

I've been testing the Akko AIR01, and honestly, I wasn't expecting to like it this much.

It's a low-profile, tri-mode keyboard with a full aluminum body, hot-swappable PCB, 4500mAh battery and a native Mac layout. But what really surprised me was how good it sounds and feels.

Disclaimer: Testing duration 2-3 weeks as a regular go to device, not paid to write this review, all thoughts are my own.

Build & Design

The AIR01 has a very clean, minimal design that honestly reminds me of an Apple product. It weighs around 650g, which is quite reasonable for a full-aluminum keyboard and makes it much more travel-friendly than some of the heavier low-profile boards.

It comes in multiple colors, and both the black and white variants look great. The white version does have noticeably better RGB diffusion because of the keycaps and surrounding materials.

The native Mac layout is also a nice touch, with dedicated Control, Option and Command keys. Windows keycaps are included if you want to switch layouts.

Typing & Switches

This is probably my favorite part of the keyboard.

I tested the Kailh Winter and Deep Sea low-profile switches, and both feel really good. The gasket implementation also gives the board a surprisingly satisfying amount of flex for such a slim keyboard.

The factory-lubed stabilizers are decent as well, and overall typing feels much more premium than I expected at this price.

And yes, it sounds really good.

RGB

The RGB is bright enough and the built-in light bar is customizable.

The black keycaps do have some RGB bleeding, especially noticeable on camera, while the white variant distributes the lighting much more evenly. In person, though, the bleeding on the black version isn't nearly as dramatic as it looks on camera.

Internals & Modding

This is another area where Akko did a good job.

You get:

• Full aluminum construction
• Silicone gasket mounting
• PET sheet layers
• PCB foam
• Hot-swappable PCB
• 4500mAh battery
• Easy access to the stabilizers and internal screws

There's also enough room to experiment with mods if you want to change the sound further.

For a low-profile keyboard, I'm particularly happy to see proper silicone gaskets since many slim boards don't have much room for this kind of mounting.

Software & Connectivity

It supports tri-mode connectivity, and the web-based software is fairly straightforward. You can remap keys, configure lighting and set up features like Snap Key.

The Mac-focused layout can take a little getting used to if you're coming from a traditional Windows keyboard, but everything can be remapped.

Also for those who might be interested it supports 1k polling rate in wired/wireless..

The One Annoying Issue

The biggest issue I encountered was wireless sleep/wake.

After being inactive for a while, the keyboard can enter a deep sleep state which is normal but it takes noticeably longer to wake up. If you start typing immediately, you can sometimes miss the first few keystrokes.

It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd definitely like to see Akko address this through a firmware update or something.

There are also no adjustable feet, although that's not something I'd personally consider essential for a low-profile keyboard.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the AIR01 ended up being much better than I expected.

You get a lightweight aluminum build, good switches, proper gasket mounting, solid internals, tri-mode connectivity, good battery life, Mac/Windows flexibility and surprisingly good acoustics.

At around $100, I think it makes a lot of sense if you're specifically looking for a low-profile keyboard that doesn't sacrifice too much in build quality or typing experience just to stay slim.

The slow wireless wake-up is really my only significant complaint.

The budget IEM market is packed with options, and the CCA Phoenix is another interesting contender. After spending some time with it below are my thoughts:

Build, Comfort & Accessories

The Phoenix has a compact metal shell with a mirror-like finish and feels well-built. Despite carrying some weight, I was able to use it for over three hours without any comfort issues.

The accessory package is also decent, including a carry pouch, standard three pairs of eartips, and a surprisingly good-quality 2-pin cable with Mic and Type-C variants are also available.

One thing to be careful about is the nozzle area, as it doesn't have a traditional protective mesh and can be damaged if handled roughly.

Sound & Gaming

The Phoenix has a balanced but energetic sound. There's enough bass to keep music engaging without completely overpowering the vocals, while the forward instruments and upper frequencies provide good clarity and detail.

The downside is that the upper frequencies can occasionally become too prominent. I noticed this more while watching movies and series, where certain background effects could sound sharper than expected.

Gaming performance was surprisingly good, with decent soundstage and positional accuracy.

Final Thoughts

The CCA Phoenix is a good budget IEM with a compact metal build, comfortable fit, solid cable, engaging bass, and good gaming performance.

I'd recommend it if you're looking for something energetic and versatile for music and gaming and prefer a tuning with forward instrumentals. However, if you prefer a smoother and more relaxed sound, particularly for long movie or binge-watching sessions, there may be better options depending on your preference.

I've covered the sound, microphone, gaming performance and overall experience in much more detail in the full video.

After spending the last few weeks testing four Kiwi Ears headphones, I finally put them head-to-head: Ellipse, Altruva, Aventus, and Ardor.

Instead of simply picking a "winner," I wanted to see which one actually makes the most sense depending on how you listen.

Wired Open-Back: Ellipse vs Altruva

Both are open-back headphones, so you get a much more spacious and natural presentation, but with the obvious trade-off of sound leakage and almost no isolation.

The Ellipse has a fuller, more relaxed sound with a little more weight in the lower frequencies. For me, it was the more enjoyable all-rounder for music and movies.

The Altruva has a more forward presentation, particularly around vocals and the upper frequencies. It brings out more detail, but can sound slightly sharper depending on the track.

My pick: Ellipse for relaxed, immersive listening. I'd consider the Altruva if you specifically prefer a more forward and energetic presentation.

Wireless: Aventus vs Ardor

Both offer Bluetooth, hybrid ANC and a 40mm + 10mm coaxial driver setup, so they're surprisingly similar on paper.

The Ardor has a more premium, understated design and significantly better battery life. Kiwi Ears rates it for up to 140 hours with ANC off and 72 hours with ANC on.

The Aventus is more gaming-oriented, with RGB lighting and a foldable design. I personally preferred its slightly smoother and more balanced presentation for longer listening sessions.

My pick: Aventus for more fuller and relaxed audio experience.

My pick: Ardor if battery life, travel and design are your priorities.

My Final Picks

Best wired/open-back: Ellipse
Try before making purchase: Altruva
Best versatile wireless option: Aventus
Best battery life & travel: Ardor

There isn't really a single winner here. Each headphone is targeting a slightly different user, and your preference for sound, gaming, portability or battery life will make a bigger difference than simply looking at the specs.

I've gone much deeper into the sound differences, comfort, build, ANC, tuning graphs in the video.

The SIMGOT EW300 is one of the IEMs I constantly see recommended in the sub $100 / INR 8000 range, so I decided to use them as my daily drivers for around 2-3 weeks and see if they actually live up to the hype.

I covered the full unboxing, sound testing, nozzle comparison, gaming, and movie/anime testing in the video, but here’s the gist of my experience.

Build & Comfort

The EW300 has a full-metal shell with a really nice mirror-finish design. They are slightly heavier than some of the plastic IEMs in this price range, but I didn't find the weight uncomfortable.

I used them continuously for around 5 hours at one point and had no issues with fatigue or the fit.

Sound

This is probably where the EW300 impressed me the most.

The tuning has a nice balance between punchy bass and clear vocals. The bass has good impact and some noticeable sub-bass rumble, but it doesn't completely take over the mids.

That's something I personally appreciate because I usually enjoy bass-heavy IEMs, but excessive bass can easily make vocals sound muddy.

Here, male and female vocals remain fairly natural and clear, while the treble provides enough detail without becoming overly aggressive.

I didn't experience any major sibilance or treble fatigue during my normal listening sessions.

Nozzle Options

The EW300 comes with interchangeable nozzles, and I tested both the silver and golden options.

The difference isn't massive, but there is a noticeable change. I personally preferred the silver nozzle because it gave me slightly better vocal clarity, while the golden nozzle sounded a little smoother.

You can also use the included foam inside the nozzle to make further adjustments, It's a nice feature to have, especially if you like experimenting with your IEM tuning.

Gaming

I also spent some time gaming with the EW300, including competitive games.

Imaging was quite good for the price. I could pick up footsteps and get a reasonable idea of their direction and distance, while instrument separation remained good enough during more chaotic situations.

Movies & Anime

For general entertainment, these are also really enjoyable.

The bass adds some nice impact to soundtracks and action scenes, while dialogue remains relatively clear.

One thing I noticed was that dialogue could occasionally sound a little sharp with the silver nozzle. Switching to the golden nozzle helped smooth this out slightly.

Final Thoughts

After 2-3 weeks of daily use, I can see why the EW300 gets recommended so often.

It's not necessarily the most exciting IEM in every category, but it does a lot of things well.

The biggest strength for me is the balance. You get the fun and impact of a bassy IEM without completely sacrificing vocal clarity or gaming performance.

At this price point, there are obviously a lot of competitors, but the EW300 is one of the safer all-round recommendations for almost every use case scenario.

The Hall Effect keyboard market is starting to feel a little repetitive. Plastic cases, HE switches, 8K polling, web software... we've seen it all.

Then Womier decided to cut holes in the keyboard.

Note: This is a early release unit sent to me by womier for testing and review, I'm not paid for the review. All thoughts are my own I tested Womier SK61 HE for around 2-3 weeks, including both casual and competitive gaming, before concluding my review.

Unboxing & Accessories

The box comes with a pretty solid accessory package:

• Braided Type-C cable
• USB dongle
• Storage band for the cable/dongle
• Dye-sub PBT keycaps
• Matching ribbon attachment
• Keycap/switch puller
• 3 extra Hall Effect switches
• User manual

The little storage band is a surprisingly nice addition. More brands should include something like this.

Design & Build Quality

The biggest selling point is obviously the hollow-out design.

The frame is made from aluminum and feels very sturdy. The black finish paired with the matching keycaps looks pretty good, although personally, I'm not a huge fan of the keycap design. That's completely subjective though.

There's also a printed design on the back which gives the board a more customized look. Unfortunately, the print on my unit looks slightly blurry. I've already passed this feedback to Womier, so hopefully future batches improve this.

Overall, the hollow design makes the SK61 HE stand out considerably from most HE keyboards.

Features & Software

The keyboard is priced around $100 and comes with:

• 8K polling rate in wired mode
• 1K polling in wireless mode
• 6000mAh battery
• Up to 0.005mm Rapid Trigger
• Tri-mode connectivity
• 3 layers of sound dampening
• Web-based HE software

RGB

The RGB is surprisingly good.

The hollow-out design creates a really nice underglow and side glow, while the top light bar is fully customizable.

In a dark room, the combination of the RGB and open-frame design looks fantastic.

Keycaps & Typing Experience

The board comes with translucent 4-sided keycaps. They feel soft and comfortable to type on, although the overall design isn't really my personal preference.

The stabilizers came factory-lubed and felt stable with no major issues.

The Void switches are also quite smooth, and after using the board for a few weeks, I genuinely enjoyed typing on it. These are the same switches used in their SK75 TMR board.

Internals & Modding

This is probably one of the more interesting parts of the keyboard.

Because of the hollow-out design, you can already see a lot of the internals without even opening the board.

Inside we have:

• Aluminum frame
• Printed fiber sheet
• Poron foam
• 2x3000mAh batteries
• Additional foam support
• Silicone sandwich layer
• PET sheet
• Silicone spacebar dampeners

There's also plenty of room if you want to experiment with additional foam or tape mods.

Disassembly is relatively straightforward, and the spacebar dampeners are removable, making stabilizer maintenance easier.

The printed fiber sheet and frame could also potentially be swapped for aftermarket designs if you want to customize the appearance further.

Things I'd Change

There are a few things I'd like to see improved:

• 8K polling should ideally work wirelessly as well. (Dual 8k Polling)
• Bug fixes with software
• The print quality on the rear panel could be improved.
• Currently, there's only a black color option.
• More like a personal choice but Would love some frosted black PC keycaps on this one.

I think a white or silver version of this design would look incredible.

Final Thoughts

The SK61 HE is a nice looking Hall Effect keyboards I've tested recently, mainly because it doesn't look like every other HE board on the market.

The aluminum construction feels solid, the RGB looks great, wireless connectivity works well, the gaming performance is excellent, and there's plenty of room for customization.

At around $100, I think it's a pretty compelling option if you want something different from the usual Hall Effect keyboards.

My biggest wish would be 8K wireless polling, but apart from that, I had a really good experience with the SK61 HE.

I've covered the full teardown, software, RGB, sound test, gaming performance, and modding potential in the video, so do check that out..

Thanks for reading <3

I've been testing the Fosi Audio IM4, their first open-back IEM, for the past few weeks.

Things I liked:

• Premium aluminum shells
• Excellent accessories for the price
• Good quality stock cable
• Interchangeable nozzles
• Comfortable fit with very little ear pressure thanks to the open-back design

Things I didn't:

• Bass can become overwhelming on a lot of tracks.
• Vocals lose some clarity because of the elevated low end.
• Treble occasionally gets a bit sharp.
• Gaming performance was just average - I struggled with front/back positional cues in Valorant.

Overall, I think Fosi absolutely nailed the build quality and accessories, but the tuning wasn't really for me, even after trying both nozzles and all the included eartips.

I'd probably recommend them more for people who want to experiment with an open-back IEM than someone looking for the best tuned IEM for around $100.

I also did a complete teardown, nozzle comparison, gaming test, and sound analysis if anyone's interested in the review video.

Thanks for reading..

I've been using the EV63 HE for a while now, and overall this has been one of the better Hall Effect keyboards I've tested. Here's my experience.

Note: I tested this board for about 3 weeks as my regular keyboard, I'm not paid to post this review, All thoughts are my own.

In the Box

• Braided USB-C cable
• Premium full-metal keycap/switch puller
• Brush
• Extra rubber feet
• Documentation & stickers
• Dust cover

The accessories are well thought out, and the metal puller is genuinely one of the nicest stock pullers I've received.

Build Quality & Design

The build quality is excellent. The aluminum chassis feels extremely solid and the silver finish paired with the frosted transparent keycaps looks even better in person than it does in photos/videos.

I also appreciated the little details like the engraved backplate, branded switch diffusers, silicone dampeners, and subtle branding around the keyboard.

Software

This is probably my favorite part of the keyboard.

The web-based software is clean, fast, and very easy to use. It includes:

• All the HE features like SOCD/RT ...etc.
• Multiple profiles
• On the Go enable disable SOCD
• FN remapping
• Gaming presets
• Crosshair library

I've also received multiple firmware updates during my testing, which is always a good sign for long-term support.

Gaming Performance

Performance was excellent throughout my testing.

The advertised 8K polling rate checks out, Rapid Trigger feels responsive, and I didn't run into any issues while gaming. Everything simply worked as expected.

Typing Feel & Sound

The typing experience is smooth, and the stabilizers came well-tuned from the factory.

My only complaint is the Ultra switches. They're smooth but sound bad to my ears. If typing sound matters to you, I'd probably recommend choosing the Pro switches instead. According to some creattors they are pretty decent and also cheaper than ultra switches

Internals & Modding

Opening the keyboard is straightforward, and the internals are nicely laid out.

Inside you'll find multiple sound-dampening layers, PET sheets, Poron foam, and PCB There's also enough room for simple mods like a tape mod or adding a thin foam layer if you enjoy experimenting.

Pros

• Excellent aluminum build quality
• Beautiful frosted keycaps
• Outstanding web-based software
• Reliable 8K Hall Effect performance
• Regular firmware updates so far..
• Easy to disassemble and mod

Cons

• Ultra switches sound a little hollow
• and cost is debatable

Final Verdict

Overall, I think the EV63 HE is a decent Hall Effect keyboard if you want something in this price range. The combination of excellent build quality, polished software, reliable gaming performance, and thoughtful design makes it easy to recommend.

If you're considering one, I'd also recommend checking out my full video review where I cover the software, internals, sound tests, gaming performance, and complete teardown in much more detail.

ZiiGAAT Arete 2 a quick review:

Pros

• Excellent imaging and positional audio
• Spacious presentation for competitive games
• Premium metal build
• Great accessory package
• Balanced, natural sound for music

Not really con but something to note

• Can feel slightly overwhelming in chaotic games until you adjust
• Music tuning is more neutral than exciting

For competitive gaming, these are genuinely impressive and made it much easier to track footsteps and enemy positions. Music performance is also solid, with clean vocals and controlled bass, though they won't satisfy people looking for a heavy V-shaped sound.

I've covered the unboxing, gaming tests, music performance, and overall experience in the review video, So do check it out and let me know what you think :)

Hello There,

A short Impression on Twistura Delta:

If you're looking for a single pair of IEMs for music, movies, YouTube, and casual gaming, the Delta is an easy recommendation. The sound quality, comfort, and build are genuinely solid.

My biggest complaint isn't the IEM itself , it's the overall package. Beetter accessories and a nicer cable would've made this an even stronger recommendation.

Do checkout the video for:

• Microphone test
• Gaming tests (Valorant & Helldivers 2)
• tuning graph
• Comfort and fit impressions
• Unboxing and accessories breakdown
• Final Verdict and comparison

The Tangzu Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion has been getting a lot of attention lately, and after spending some time with it, I can see why.

For the price, it offers a surprisingly complete package, but whether it's the right IEM for you depends heavily on your use case.

Disclaimer: Not a paid review, all thoughts are my own. I spent about 2 weeks with the IEMs and my unit is one with 3.5mm cable variant without Mic.

📦 What's in the Box?

The unboxing experience is actually pretty nice.

Inside the package you get:

• Tangzu Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion IEMs
• 2-pin detachable cable
• Carry pouch
• Microfiber cloth
• 6 pairs of eartips

For a budget set, Tangzu did a good job with presentation.
The included microfiber cloth is a nice touch and matches the overall Red Lion theme.

🎒 Accessories

Carry Pouch

It uses a magnetic closure, but the magnets can come loose over time. If that happens, a small amount of glue should fix it permanently.

Just remember that this isn't a hard-shell case, so I wouldn't throw it into a packed backpack without some care.

Cable

Honestly one of the highlights of the package.

The stock cable feels surprisingly premium for this price range. it's comfortable to use, and I'd even rate it above some stock cables included with some more expensive IEMs.

Definitely a keeper.

Eartips

You get two different styles of eartips included.

A lot of people claim specific eartips completely transform the sound signature, but in reality the biggest factor is usually:

• Fit
• Comfort
• Seal

A proper seal will have a much bigger impact on your listening experience than chasing tiny tuning differences.

Just use whichever pair fits your ears best.

🎨 Build & Comfort

The Red Lions overall looks fantastic.
The shells are plastic, but they're:

• Lightweight
• Compact
• Comfortable for long sessions

I had no issues wearing them for extended periods. (binge watched anime for about 3hrs no issue)

🎵 Sound Quality

The Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion uses a 10mm dynamic driver and delivers a tuning that feels very safe and versatile.

Bass: punchy without becoming overwhelming.

Vocals: stay clear and natural.

Treble: has enough sparkle and detail without becoming sharp or fatiguing.

Overall, the tuning sits in a sweet spot that works well across multiple genres.

Whether you're listening to pop, EDM, rock, acoustic tracks, or casual playlists, these perform surprisingly well.

Even after spending time with some expensive IEMs, coming back to the Red Lions still feels enjoyable rather than disappointing.

That's usually a good sign.

🎮 Gaming Performance

This is where things become a bit more mixed.

For casual gaming:

✅ Story games
✅ RPGs
✅ Single-player experiences
✅ General media consumption

They're perfectly fine.

I tested them with games like:

• Expedition 33
• Replaced
• Valorant

And while they worked fine for immersive gaming, I wouldn't recommend them for competitive shooters.

Why?

The biggest issue is soundstage depth.

Directional audio is decent enough, but judging distance becomes difficult.

I could often tell where footsteps were coming from, but struggled to determine how far away they actually were.

During hectic moments, the stronger bass response can also make gunfights feel slightly cluttered. Add voice chat on top of that and things can become harder to process quickly.

For ranked or competitive FPS players or mobile shooters like pubg or similar, there are better options available.

👍 What I Liked

• Excellent value for money
• Comfortable lightweight shells
• Surprisingly good stock cable
• Good selection of eartips
• Fun yet balanced tuning
• Attractive design
• Great for music listening

👎 What Could Be Better

• Magnetic pouch could be more durable
• Soundstage depth is limited
• Not ideal for competitive FPS gaming

🏁 Final Verdict

If you're a beginner looking for your first IEM or simply want an affordable set primarily for music, the Tangzu Wan'er SG 2 Red Lion is incredibly easy to recommend.

The combination of:

• Good sound
• Good accessories
• Good comfort
• Good cable

makes it one of the better value options in its category.

However, if your primary goal is competitive gaming where accurate positional audio and footstep distance matter, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

For music on a budget though?

Absolutely worth considering. 🎧🔥

I’ve reviewed quite a few Hall Effect keyboards in the ₹4K budget recently, and most of them usually miss somewhere.

Some have decent software but weak build quality.
Others feel solid but come with unfinished software.

After spending some time with the URX Core68, Here are my reviews on the board.

📦 Unboxing & First Impressions

Inside the box:

• Braided Type-C cable
• 2 extra Hall Effect switches
• Keycap/switch puller
• Strap attachment
• Dust cover
• User guide

Packaging is simple, but the accessories are nice for the price.

The board itself keeps things minimal:

• 68% layout
• Type-C on the top left
• Rubber grips at the back
• Side strap hook
• Large URX branding on the front (like / dislike sort of thing)

Build quality is plastic and was the first thing I noticed.

No flex.
No creaking.
No weird case movement.

For a ₹4K HE board, that immediately feels reassuring.

🎮 Features & Software

Specs on paper are strong:

• 8K polling rate
• 0.005mm RT precision
• Hot-swappable Hall Effect PCB
• 5 sound dampening layers
• Web-based software

And honestly, the software is one of the highlights here.

Clean UI, fast to navigate, and almost every setting is easy to find.

There’s also a gamepad emulation mode, where WASD can behave like analog movement depending on press depth.

Didn’t personally spend time testing that feature, but nice to see it included.

🌈 RGB & Keycaps

RGB sits in a good middle ground.

Not super bright.
Not too dim either.

The shine-through double-shot PBT keycaps help the lighting look much better.

Looks clean on desk and even better in darker setups.

🔧 Switches & Internal Build

Stock switches feel surprisingly solid.

Mine came pre-lubed well and felt smooth enough right out of the box.

Stabilizers were also great, no noticeable rattling on my unit.

Opened the board to check internals:

• Decent case foam
• Poron PCB foam
• PET sheet
• Switch pad
• Additional Poron foam
• Aluminum positioning plate

And the best part:

No unnecessary foam cutouts.

If you’ve opened budget boards before, you know how rare that is 😄

Sound dampening is genuinely well done here.

⚠️ Small downside

Only one thing I noticed:

The spacebar foam doesn’t have an easy cutout.

So if you ever want to remove the stabilizers later for maintenance or lubing, it could be slightly annoying.

Not a huge issue but worth mentioning.

🆚 Compared to MAD68 / AJAZZ AK680

These are probably the closest competitors.

Compared to them, URX Core68 feels a little more polished overall.

Main advantages:

✅ Cleaner software
✅ Slight edge in RT precision
✅ Accessories like dust cover & extra switches

Everything else is pretty close.

✅ Final Verdict

If you’re looking for a Hall Effect keyboard around ₹4K mainly for competitive gaming, the URX Core68 is honestly one of the easiest recommendations I can give right now for ₹3800

You’re getting:

✔️ Solid build quality
✔️ Good stock sound dampening
✔️ Great software
✔️ Strong gaming performance
✔️ Competitive pricing

A pretty complete package overall.

My car battery was drained completely on my recent trip and was stuck there for more than 3hrs. This experience made me realize the importance of such emergency tools and jump starter.

So recently I tested the Wolfbox car emergency toolkit / jump starter + air compressor combo, and after using it in real-world conditions, here are my thoughts.

Disclaimer: all thoughts are my own and I'm not paid for this review

📦 In the box

Inside the hard-shell carry case:

• Jump starter unit
• Jumper cables (length is pretty short)
• Air hose
• Extra nozzles
• USB-C 2 C cable
• User guides

Everything packs neatly into one case and feels easy enough to keep in the boot.

The device itself feels solid and pretty heavy at around 1.6kg, which actually gave me confidence that it isn’t built like a cheap power bank pretending to be a jump starter.

⚙️ Specs

Main highlights:

• 4000A peak current - jump starter
• Digital display
• Built-in air compressor
• Flashlight : 400 lumens
• USB charging ports / power bank : 24000 mah
• Safety protections
• Around $140
• Extended warranty

That 4000A rating matters quite a bit because it gives a rough idea of what engines it can actually start.

For reference:
I tested this with my Swift, which doesn’t need a huge starting current, and it handled it easily. For most petrol cars and a lot of diesel vehicles, the specs look more than enough.

💨 Air compressor test

Tried inflating tyres first.

Quick impressions:

✅ fills air surprisingly fast
✅ simple to use
✅ pressure reading easy to see

Only thing:

😂 it gets loud

…and the unit shakes a bit while running.
But that’s normal for portable compressors. Overall it worked well.

🔋 Jump start test (actual test)

This was the important part. (Refer to the video for better clarification)

I intentionally drained my car battery enough so it wouldn’t self-start.

Connected:

• red to positive
• black to negative

Green light turned stable.

Started the car.

…and yep it actually worked instantly.

After the engine starts you disconnect the cables like the guide mentions.

What surprised me:
Even after inflating 2 tyres + jump-starting the car, the battery indicator still had plenty left. That was reassuring.

Final thoughts 💭

After testing it, this feels like one of those things that’s genuinely worth keeping in your car.

Hopefully you never need it.

But if you ever:

• get stranded with a dead battery
• need air urgently
• stop somewhere remote
• travel long distances often

It is an investment but… it can genuinely save you hours of stress.

And if you’re looking at cheaper alternatives, definitely compare:

• peak current
• battery capacity
• actual safety protections

Because a lot of cheaper units look similar on paper but don’t always perform the same in real use.

For me:
Definitely one of the more practical automotive gadgets I’ve tested recently 🚘

Recently I reviewed a keyboard made out of carbon fiber… and now we’ve got a gaming mice using the same material 😅

After using it for gaming over the past few weeks Here are my thoughts on Epomaker CarbonX gaming mouse:

• Carbon fiber shell
• 8K polling
• PixArt 3950 sensor
• Optical switches
• 47g weight

📦 In the Box

Inside the package:

• Braided Type-C cable
• 8K dongle
• Extra skates
• User manual

Pretty straightforward accessory package.

🖱️ Design & Build

The first thing you’ll notice is the symmetric cutout shell.

It has:

• Matte finish coating
• 2 side buttons
• Soft tactile scroll wheel
• Minimal RGB indicator
• Visible internals through the shell 👀

The overall design feels very minimal and comfy rather than flashy gamer aesthetic.

And honestly… the coating is probably one of my favorite parts of this mouse.

I’ve used quite a few gaming mice, but I always kept returning to my old G502 mainly because of that smooth matte texture on the clicks. Many modern mice either feel too rough or too slippery.

This one actually feels really comfortable for long sessions, especially if you have sweaty or touch-sensitive hands.

🏗️ Build Quality

Now because of the lightweight hollow cutout design, there is some flex if you intentionally press the thinner areas.

But during normal gaming usage?
Honestly, I barely noticed it.

No creaking issues on my unit either so far, and shell is made out of carbon fiber so regardless of the flex, this is quite durable.

So unless you aggressively squeeze your mouse, it should be perfectly fine.

⚡ Performance

Specs:

• PixArt 3950 sensor
• 8K polling rate
• Optical switches
• Tri-mode connectivity

And performance-wise, it delivered exactly what I expected.

✅ No disconnects
✅ Smooth tracking
✅ Accurate micro-adjustments
✅ Very responsive clicks

No complaints during gaming.

🔋 Battery & Software

Battery:

• 300mAh
• Roughly 2-3 days depending on usage and power settings

Software:

• Web-based software support
• Lets you adjust:
  • DPI
  • Polling rate
  • LED colors
  • Dongle lighting
  • and much more...

The functionality is there, but the UI definitely feels a bit rough and could use refineme2nt.

🤔 One Thing I Didn’t Like

The 8K dongle design.

It looks cool with that capsule-style aesthetic, but:

• requires an extra cable
• needs separate desk space
• can’t be neatly stored inside the mouse

I honestly would've preferred a simpler USB dongle design. Though this is not limited to this mouse it's pretty common with most of the mice out there.

✅ Pros

✔️ Extremely smooth matte coating
✔️ Lightweight (<50g)
✔️ Great gaming performance
✔️ Optical switches = no double-click issues
✔️ Comfortable grip shape
✔️ Carbon fiber shell feels unique
✔️ No creaking

❌ Cons

❌ Some shell flex due to hollow design
❌ Software UI needs improvement
❌ 8K dongle setup feels inconvenient
❌ Not major but Dongle lighting can be distracting at times

🏁 Final Verdict

The biggest highlights for me were:

• the coating
• comfort
• lightweight feel
• reliable gaming performance

And the carbon fiber shell + optical switches should also make it a pretty durable long-term option. The software could definitely be polished more, and the dongle setup isn’t my favorite… but overall, I genuinely enjoyed using this mouse 🎯
