Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10th! Come and Experience the Xiaomi Pad 8 for Yourself!
Gaming gadgets have aspects that simply cannot be conveyed through photos or spec sheets alone, such as the feel of pressing a button, the weight of a dial, or the overall texture.
That's precisely why, at this event, we are prioritizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large number of exciting gaming gadgets that you'll want to get your hands on this autumn, and that we highly recommend you "definitely touch!"
We've gathered only the gaming gadgets that you'll "absolutely want to touch and check out" this autumn, so please take this opportunity to experience them.
Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to ask 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 Absolutely Welcome! Touch Any Gaming Gadget That Catches Your Eye!
Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try touching and comparing all the products that catch your eye? No matter how many photos you see or spec sheets you read, the one thing you can't know until the very end is "what's it actually like to touch?" So, let's head to Akihabara and try out everything that interests you!
The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can physically experience the latest gaming gadgets and consult with our editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!
And here's the important part: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, or compare. It's an event where you can freely try out any gadget that interests 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 full of experts, making it hard to enter," or "What if they try to push me to buy something like in a store?" Not being an expert in PCs is absolutely fine! And of course, participation is free.
At the venue, you can physically experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can thoroughly compare things that are hard to grasp online, like the size, the feel of typing on a keyboard, or the grip of a mouse. If you're thinking, "I don't know what to choose," you can also freely consult with ASCII editorial staff.
Furthermore, we have planned prize giveaways, mini-stages, and even a puzzle-solving event. It's an event designed for you to simply come, play, see, touch, and remember what caught your eye. You can enjoy it with that level of casualness!
Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time. And we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared plenty of commemorative novelty items, and we eagerly await your visit.
