What sets you apart from other gaming recommendation sites?
To be honest the others kinda suck, they make random recommendations and the vast majority of them probably don't test the mice themselves before making a recommendation.
We buy our own products (usually from Amazon), put them through their paces in our Neckargemünd branch and then make a recommendation as to which product is the best. We then give away or resell the products we have tested.
In short, we actually invest a lot of time and money to make sure we're getting these recommendations right.
Why should you trust us?
I've spent a few thousand hours playing NFS, Street Fighter, Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty for 15+ years and intend to add a few thousand more in the future.
I think I know exactly what makes a good and not-so-good gaming rig.
Combine that experience with hundreds of hours of real testing and I'm confident we're making a selection you'll love. And that's important, because we make a little money for every product you buy through our links, but we only keep that money if you love what you got. Read more about the links here.
Our current gaming setup

Why haven't we tested these products yet?
Our review process takes a lot more time than you usually see with gaming products, we can't cover everything in a short amount of time. We also don't consider niche products or products that aren't widely used, the products we review must be accessible to a broad demographic.
If you really think we should review something in particular, please suggest a product to contact@techwatch.com. Let us know what you think we are doing well and what we can do better.
