I’ve just pulled the screens out of my Crystal Super and put different ones in. That sentence still sounds mad to me, and I’ve done it. The Super is the…
Five weeks ago I reviewed the Pimax Dream Air Lighthouse, which I was very excited about as you know, and, I told you that base stations were the ones to…
If you own an older Thrustmaster – a T300, TX, T-GT or TS-PC – you do not have to put up with that mushy stock rim and vague paddle feel.…
I run Pimax headsets on my main rig, and I’ve had the Crystal, Crystal Light, Crystal Super and Dream Air all detected, black-screened, drifting and dropping frames at one point…

There are 13 Moza wheels on sale in 2026, from the ESX up to the Porsche Mission R. My favourite is the FSR2, and they all fit every current Moza base.
You’ve built a sim PC, wired the rig up, and somewhere along the way you’ve been told to disable your integrated graphics in the BIOS. Maybe a VR headset is…
