The Corsair Vanguard 99 Air is a wireless optical mechanical keyboard with a nicely quiet low profile typing experience, but a key piece of software that I couldn't get working. And it costs $259.99. That's the price of some of the best gaming keyboards on the market, decks tuned with high-end typing experiences, feature-full magnetic switches, or luxury build materials. It can't be the price of the low-profile clackers I've had o

  09-10-2026 15:12 via gamesradar.com

Games like Cyberpunk 2077 don’t just give you awesome enhancements; they also tackle identity and a corporate-run city that controls nearly every aspect of anyone unfortunate enough to live here. Nivalis Nights doesn’t remove those traits, but instead, it gives you the perspective of someone norm
