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, possess 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, a wide array of gaming gadgets that garnered attention this summer will be on display. You'll have the opportunity to actually experience products recommended by our editorial team.

In this article, we will introduce the streaming mixer "AG03MK2" from among the gaming gadgets on display.

The Classic Streaming Mixer: Intuitive Operation and Versatile Sound Creation in One Unit

Yamaha's "AG03MK2" is renowned as a classic model among streaming mixers.

In addition to intuitive volume control via faders and physical knobs, it consolidates all necessary inputs for streaming, such as microphones, game audio, smartphones, and musical instruments, into a compact body. It even includes built-in effects like compressors, EQs, and reverb.

Key Feature 1: Intuitive Volume Control with Faders and Physical Knobs

A key feature of the AG03MK2 is its ability to intuitively adjust volume using faders and physical knobs. Since you can control the volume by hand without relying on on-screen operations, it's designed for easy adjustments during live streams. In a streaming environment where audio is handled in real-time, this intuitive operability is incredibly helpful.

Key Feature 2: Supports a Wide Range of Inputs, Including Microphones, Game Audio, Smartphones, and Musical Instruments

You can consolidate various audio inputs you want to use for streaming, such as microphones, game audio, smartphones, and musical instruments, into one small unit. The appeal is that even when handling multiple audio sources for streaming, you can keep your equipment setup simple. It's a model we recommend not only for streamers but also for those who want to set up an audio environment for musical instruments.

Key Feature 3: Built-in Versatile Effects for One-Touch Sound Creation

As expected from Yamaha, it includes built-in effect functions such as compressors, EQs, reverb, and even an amp simulator. You can easily create your desired sound by utilizing these effects. Since creating such sounds can be quite challenging with software plugins or dedicated equipment, this ease of use is a huge plus.

It's Happening in Akihabara! First-Timers Are Welcome! You Can Touch Any Gaming Gadget That Catches Your Eye!

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try touching and comparing all the products that interest you? Even after looking at photos and reading spec sheets, the one thing you can't fully grasp is "what's it like to actually touch?" So, 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 and consult with our editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's an important point: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, or 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 feel intimidated, thinking "PC events seem to be only for experts and hard to get into" or "what if they pressure me to buy something like in a store?" Not being a PC expert is no problem! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key is that you can carefully compare things like size, keyboard key feel, and mouse grip, which are hard to understand online, right there on the spot.
