It is the latter that

favor to gain responsiveness.

Its 50 mm speakers (against 40 mm most often) deliver powerful, detailed and very enveloping sound.

Settings can be customized through an app.

The headset comes in two versions, Xbox optimized for PlayStation.

Our opinion:

Unfortunately supplied without cover or protective shell, these headphones with exceptional sound reproduction and not too bassy can unfortunately not be used in wired mode when you have exhausted its autonomy up to around 40 hours.

Please note: despite its comfortable shape-memory pads, its faux leather covering may cause some people to sweat... It can be used for simple listening to music.

For extra-large gaming: Odyssey OLED G8 monitor, from Samsung

Get close to the action with the Odyssey OLED G8, Samsung's first OLED gaming monitor!

Unveiled at the last IFA show in Berlin, its ultra-wide format with a 21:9 ratio flatters the retina at first glance.

Curved, with a surface area of ​​34 inches (86.36 cm), this screen offers images of striking contrast, but also saturated colors just enough to seduce gamers.

Its UWQHD definition (3440 x 1440 pixels) guarantees a very demanding level of detail.

The device integrates the Samsung Gaming Hub, the manufacturer's

platform which offers access to games from Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce Now, Google Stadia and Utomik.

Its HDMI 2.1 port offers compatibility with the latest generation game consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series).

And a little extra, a ring of LEDs on the back of the device reproduces the colors displayed on the screen… like on Philips Ambilight televisions.

Our opinion:

Impressive in terms of its size and its thinness (3.9 mm for the thinnest part), this monitor has, in addition to its obvious interest in

, all the advantages of an auxiliary television.

Wifi, it runs on TizenOS, Samsung's TV operating system, and can thus access all

platforms and television channels.

To feel like a real pilot: Volant PRO Racing Wheel, from Logitech G

A truer-than-life driving simulator at home!

With its Racing Wheel, Logitech G offers a direct-drive gaming wheel, for greatly increased precision.

Equipped with the manufacturer's True Force technology, this equipment promises its user to feel extremely realistic track sensations, going so far as to transcribe engine vibrations and road imperfections.

This steering wheel, which has magnetic gear change paddles, is therefore as close as possible to a professional racing car steering wheel.

Five user profiles can be stored.

Our opinion:

To be reserved only for purists given its price (equivalent to that of a driving course on a circuit!), this steering wheel without transmission belt is worth the immersion it provides.

It can be assembled and disassembled easily, on a simple desk.

And can be used with or without an optional pedalboard, sold for 389 euros.

Able to memorize up to four player profiles, this keyboard has keys which can be activated linearly (faster, because instantaneous), or tactile.

Increasing its possibilities, a second layer of functions is programmable on 24 keys which will light up when the secondary functions are activated.

Our opinion:

Attractive, even a little flashy, this keyboard also draws its originality from its backlit translucent wrist rest, a first in the world of

.

It is customizable, but also removable, allowing each player to adopt it, or not.

The opto-mechanical keys (combining light and mechanics) have been tested for 100 million activations, guaranteeing the keyboard a long life.
