After decades of gaming, I’ve finally encountered an input device that has given way… keyboard coffee & wine spills excluded.

Sifu at the start of the month, Horizon last weekend, Elden Ring today, Gran Turismo 7 less than a week away! So spoiled with impressive titles, how cool is this! Currently enduring the FormSoftware pain of Elden Rings… tbh it’s Dark Souls 3 in a open World, but what about that is not to love?
