For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you know the specs but still want to get your hands on the real thing. Gaming gadgets, in particular, have an appeal that can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand, whether it's the key feel, the fit, or the texture.

That's why, at the ASCII-sponsored event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II" held on Saturday, October 10th, we will be showcasing a wide array of gaming gadgets that caught attention this summer. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, we'll introduce one of the gaming gadgets on display: the curved gaming monitor "MAG 275CQRF QD E2."

Curved Screen, Wide Color Gamut! The MSI "MAG 275CQRF QD E2" Gaming Monitor is Packed with Technology

The MSI MAG 275CQRF QD E2 is a gaming monitor that packs various technologies into its curved body!

In addition to low latency and a high refresh rate thanks to its evolved RAPID VA panel, it also supports a wide color gamut comparable to creative monitors.

It's a versatile unit you'll want to try for various uses, not just gaming, but also watching movies on Netflix, 3D CG, RAW development, and more.

*Point 1: Immerse yourself in games with a curved screen!*

As it's a curved display, you can enjoy the sensation of being enveloped by the game screen.

If you're going to play games on a large screen, this kind of "immersion" is important, isn't it? Including its presence on your desk, it has the distinct charm of a gaming monitor!

*Point 2: Low Latency & High Refresh Rate with RAPID VA*

Adopting an evolved RAPID VA panel, it supports even lower latency and higher refresh rates.

In games, display speed is, after all, crucial. For those who want to comfortably play fast-paced games, this aspect is quite welcome, isn't it?

*Point 3: Enjoy More Than Just Games with a Wide Color Gamut*

It supports a wide color gamut comparable to creative monitors.

It's great that it focuses on color, despite being a gaming monitor. Of course, it's attractive for those who want to enjoy beautiful game visuals, but also for people who spend a lot of time looking at the screen for photos, videos, and more!

Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10th! Come and Touch the Real MSI "MAG 275CQRF QD E2"

Gaming gadgets have aspects that cannot be understood from photos or specs alone, such as button feel, dial weight, and texture.

That's why, at this event, we are prioritizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large number of noteworthy gaming gadgets that you'll want to get this summer, and which we highly recommend you "definitely touch!"

We've gathered only gaming gadgets that you'll "definitely want to touch and check out" this summer, so please take this opportunity to experience them.

Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to speak to us if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you at LIFORK Akihabara II on October 10th!

It's Happening in Akihabara! First-Timers Are Welcome! You Can Touch Any Gaming Gadget You're Interested In!

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try touching and comparing all the products you're interested in? Even after looking at photos and reading spec sheets, what remains unknown until the very end is "what's it like to actually touch?" In that case, let's try out everything that interests you in Akihabara!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can actually touch and experience the latest gaming gadgets while also consulting with editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And this is an important point: this event welcomes you just to look, just to touch, or just to compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets that interest you at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to be intimidated, thinking "PC events seem to be full of experts and hard to get into" or "what if they try to push me to buy something like in a store?" No problem even if you're not familiar with PCs! Of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can carefully compare things that are hard to understand online, such as size, keyboard key feel, and mouse grip, right there on the spot. Those who "don't know what to choose" can also freely consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, prize giveaways, mini-stages, and puzzle-solving events are also planned. First, come and play, look, touch, and remember what caught your eye. It's an event you can enjoy with that much casualness!

The popular prize giveaway from last time will, of course, be held again. And we'll be doing it big! We've also perfectly prepared novelty items as souvenirs for your visit, and we eagerly await your attendance.
