Introduction

LAMZU is a peripherals company based in China. With the ambidextrous Maya X, LAMZU goes beyond merely providing a larger Maya. For the sensor, PixArt’s latest PAW3950 capable of 30,000 CPI is now used, and the main buttons have been outfitted with optical switches from Omron (D2FP-FN2) rated for 70 million clicks. The scroll wheel encoder has a LAMZU branding, but actually comes from F-Switch. At 47 g, the Maya X also manages to weigh the same as the Maya, all while being significantly larger and maintaining the same holeless, open-bottom design. On the Maya X, the 8K wireless dongle is included by default, allowing for true 8000 Hz polling in wireless operation. At 1000 Hz, LAMZU cites a battery life of up to 80 hours, and up to 20 hours at 8000 Hz. The feet are made of pure PTFE, and configuration is possible through a web driver. The Maya X is available in black, white, gray, or purple.

Introduction

A big thank you to Gamdias for supplying the review sample.

Gamdias is no newcomer to the DIY PC market, they now have a full decade of experience designing peripherals, coolers, fans, power supplies, cases, and more. With such a solid lineup, they have continued to grow from their humble beginnings, now having a physical presence in numerous markets and countries. From here the company is primed to not only grow further but is also well positioned and more than capable of responding to industry trends while also pushing new and innovative products.

Today’s review focuses on the Gamdias AURA GL360 V2 all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. This 360 mm offering features ARGB fans and an ARGB illuminated pump top which works with motherboard vendor software. It also offers a suite of 30 built-in lighting effects via a push button switch that can be connected to existing LED buttons for additional options. It also allows for easy switching between the two options by holding the button for three seconds, giving you greater flexibility in regard to lighting effects. Should performance live up to expectations the AURA GL360 V2 could be quite the value option for those wanting an ARGB equipped 360 mm AIO, especially considering its affordable price of $69.99 making it an attractive budget friendly option.

Introduction

SCYROX is a peripherals company based in China. A new name in the industry, SCYROX aims to provide high-quality peripherals at affordable prices. The V8, which is their first release, certainly fits that criteria: PixArt’s latest PAW3950 sensor capable of 30,000 CPI sees use, along with Omron D2FP-FN2 optical switches for the main buttons. At 40 g, the V8 is also exceptionally light, even though the shell is completely solid. The V8 already comes with a USB high-speed wireless dongle by default, allowing polling rates of up to 8000 Hz in wireless operation. The feet are made of pure PTFE, and one can choose between installing a set of smaller or larger feet, both of which are included with the mouse. Configuration is done conveniently through a web driver. The SCYROX V8 is available in yellow, black, or white.
