14 key rollover, Win-Key Lock and anti-ghosting technology, coupled with a removable USB cable make this an ideal gaming keyboard, but it’s perfect for both home and office use.

Special Spoilt Person
INCREDIBLE PRESENTS THAT’LL HAVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WISHING SANTA WAS REAL
The brand spanking new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the best android tablet on the market – with a dynamic Super AMOLED display at a 1536 x 2048 pixel resolution, cramming in 320 pixels per inch, a faster processor and a slimmer design (it’s just 5.6mm from front to back). Samsung rivals Apple like no other.
SONY XPERIA Z5 COMPACT
Forget the phablet. Sony’s new handset is pretty much the only premium smartphone bucking the trend when it comes to size – because if you wanted a tablet-sized phone you’d just get a tablet, right? It comes with a responsive new fingerprint sensor, and continues the Xperia’s reputation for sturdiness. Plus, it’s water and dust resistant.
MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK
While we refuse to get caught up in the fanboyish hype, Microsoft’s first-ever laptop is on undeniably fantastic premium hybrid device that’s perfect for those who want their portable device to be laptop first, tablet second. It’s available with a Core i5 or i7 processor with up to 16GB of RAM, with an optional custom Nvidia GPU.
STAFF CHRISTMAS PICKS
ACER PREDATOR X34
I was going to say o new 34-inch ultrawide curved monitor like the Acer Predator X34. But that’s just being ridiculous. I want three of them. So 1 can have the greatest sim racing and flying rig a boy could ever want.
LG 65-INCH 4K CURVED OLED TV
As a big film collector I’d love a new TV, and the sharpness, clarity and depth of colour of an OLED screen is second to none. Although my collection wouldn’t take advantage of the 4K resolution, hooking it up to my PC would make for some mighty impressive gaming.
ELECTRIC OBJECTS EO1
The EO1 is one of those kitschy little digital photo frames, but blown up to 23-inch in size. I’d love a couple of these around the house, with some nice frames, displaying random pieces of interesting art. You can upload your own art or pick from the regularly updated gallery.
NVIDIA GTX GEFORCE 980 T1
My system is about four years old. It’s had one or two upgrades in that time, but mostly, it’s chugging along nicety. But one area that I can see it starting to slow down now – and it certainly will in 12 month’s time – is graphics performance. And right now, the king of that hill has got to be the GTX 980 Ti.
LG 55-INCH OLED 3D TV
I’ve suffered long and hard with what was our spare 32” TV for almost three years now – I know. Looking through the options, LG’s 55″ 55EC930T Full HD OLED 3D curved jobby fits the bill nicely for price, size and features.
XBOX ELITE WIRELESS CONTROLLER
When I made the gradual ascension from console fan-boy to PC gaming enthusiast a few years ago, I never thought I’d miss joypads. But now, as a self-confessed Rocket League addict, I’m all about the old-school console-style controller – and even at its premium price point, the near perfect, heavily customisable Xbox Elite has got my excitement levels peaking.
HTC VIVE
I want a HTC Vibe so that I can pretend that I didn’t drop out of university to become a tech journalist, and can instead immerse myself in the virtual cockpit of an F/A-18 fighter jet, the job I was born to do. That’s right, I am dangerous!
