TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 Set for Akihabara on October 10
ASCII's own hands-on event series returns to Akihabara with free admission and no purchase requirement, which keeps vendor-neutral try-before-you-buy access to gaming peripherals in the district rather than behind a retailer's counter.

ASCII.jp's event arm will hold TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 at LIFORK AKIHABARA II on October 10, from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with doors at 1:00 PM. Admission and viewing are free. Attendees can handle gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, and headsets, compare them side by side, and ask ASCII editorial staff for buying advice. The schedule also includes a mini stage, a gift draw with a large garapon, and a keyword puzzle hunt around Akihabara parts shops.
The October 10 session runs at LIFORK AKIHABARA II, a five-minute walk from Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit and four minutes from Suehirocho Station. ASCII editorial staff will be stationed at the booths, so visitors can ask which mouse fits a grip or which switch suits FPS play without reading a spec sheet first.
Alongside the hands-on floor, the day carries a mini stage with editorial talks, a gift draw with a large garapon, and a keyword puzzle hunt that sends participants through Akihabara parts shops. Attendees who finish the puzzle get an original towel. The event account posts updates and day-of photos on X.
