Logitech is adding a new portable mouse to its lineup called Mobi Fold, which is a compact wireless model that literally folds in half when you’re done using it. It’s one of the smallest mice in Logitech’s lineup, yet it offers all the essentials to serve as a solid replacement for your laptop’s trackpad. The new Mobi Fold is great for travelers and anyone working on the go, and it’s now available for $79.99 shipped. You can grab one in Sand, Off White, Graphite, and Lilac finishes, and you’ll find more details.

UGREEN’s new lineup of Nexode Air chargers has managed to stand out in the market with its compact design – and how! We took a look at the brand’s 65W Nexode Air ultra-mini USB-C GaN charger a few weeks back, and we’re now checking out the ultra-slim 45W Nexode Air model. This is easily the slimmest charger I have in my EDC right now, and it’s compact enough to slip into just about any of my pockets or bags. While it doesn’t quite match the 65W charging speeds of the other variant I tested earlier, I’ve found myself reaching for this slimmer one more often over the past few weeks simply because it’s so easy to carry around. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Sony first unveiled its PlayStation monitor late last year, and it’s now finally available for pre-order. You can reserve one through Best Buy or the PlayStation Store for $349.99 shipped, with orders currently scheduled to begin shipping on August 8, 2026. This, in case you’re wondering, is Sony’s first gaming monitor to carry the PlayStation branding, making it a notable release for those already invested in the PS5 ecosystem. While there’s still some time before it officially launches, you might want to jump in now to avoid potential shipping delays or limited availability around launch. Head below for a closer look and more details.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to remain excited about SSDs these days, thanks to rising prices driven by industry-wide hikes and ongoing memory shortages. That’s exactly why I believe drives like the ORICO iFolder Go feel like a breath of fresh air in a market that doesn’t offer much to get excited about lately. This SSD, as you can probably tell, sports a very unconventional design that looks nothing like the external drives we’re used to seeing. It’s easily among the most unique SSDs in my stash. But is there more to it than just good looks? Does it actually deliver the performance to back up its unique design? Head below to find out.

ASUS has unleashed a wave of new PC gaming hardware under its ROG Edition 20 lineup to mark the 20th anniversary of the ROG brand. One of the newer additions here is the Xbox ROG Ally X20 handheld. While it retains the same overall design and form factor of the existing Xbox ROG Ally X, this version introduces several notable upgrades. Head below for a closer look at what’s new.

UGREEN has unleashed a tiny new 65W GaN charger called the Nexode Air, featuring a USB-C port. While this model skips some of the flashier extras like a built-in display as seen on Anker’s latest Nano 45W charger, it keeps things simple and checks the right boxes, in my opinion, with an ultra-compact design, which is smaller than the size of an AirPods case and a wallet-friendly price tag. The brand’s official storefront is also offering a launch deal for it right now down at $29.99. Head below for a closer look and more details on this impressively small charger.

In a world where most keyboards have started looking increasingly similar, all following more or less the same design language, it always catches my attention when something with a more aggressive gaming aesthetic – sharp angles, bold cuts, and a bit more personality – shows up every now and then. The IQUNIX EV63 Hall effect keyboard we’re checking out today is one of those, currently sitting on my desk. Not only does it look good but it also checks a lot of the right boxes when it comes to gaming. I’ve spent enough time using it to get a solid feel for what it brings to the table, so head below for a closer look and to learn more about my experience with it.

Microsoft has been making headlines lately with a series of notable announcements and updates across both its software and hardware lineup.

Head below for a closer look at the leaked photos and more details on the reported controller.

Head below for more details and a closer look.

One of the most notable changes to the Xbox ecosystem since the new CEO stepped in is a price cut for both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, which takes effect today. The new pricing has Game Pass Ultimate dropping from $29.99 to $22.99 per month, while PC Game Pass falls to $13.99, down from $16.49. The rest of the Game Pass lineup isn’t seeing any adjustments, so those tiers remain at the same rates introduced after Microsoft’s price increase last October. Head below for more details.

Dell offers plenty of gaming monitors under its Alienware lineup, but the new model we’re looking at today stands out as one of the most affordable QD-OLED options available. The brand has just unleashed new the 27-inch AW2726DM model, featuring a fast 240Hz QD-OLED panel, and it’s now available for $349.99 shipped.

I’ve upgraded my kit since the last time I posted one of these, and I’ve added a few new pieces to my setup just in time for an upcoming trip to Japan, where I’m hoping to capture some beautiful cherry blossoms before the season ends. That makes this a great time to run through what’s making the cut this time around. I’m yet again keeping things relatively light while still covering the essentials to stay charged, keep track of my gear, and have a camera ready instead of relying on my iPhone camera. Below is a quick look at the tech I’ll be packing into my EDC this time, along with why each item earned a spot in the bag.

There’s no shortage of affordable, budget-friendly gaming keyboards on the market, but only a handful come packed with features that truly come through for gaming. You’re likely to end up with a standard mechanical keyboard when shopping for models under $100, but the EPOMAKER G84 HE we’re looking at today checks all the basics while also bringing some noteworthy extras to the table at this price point. I kept my expectations in check when I started using it as my daily driver for gaming – especially since I was coming from some more premium boards in my collection – but I have to admit it’s proven to be a reliable performer that has consistently earned a spot on my desk alongside the LOFREE Flow 2 wireless model I usually rely on for work. You can read more about my experience using it as my everyday gaming keyboard below.

With Apple celebrating its 50th anniversary this week, 8BitDo has unveiled a special version of its Retro mechanical keyboard to mark the occasion. Called the AP50th Limited Edition, this model is built to celebrate 50 years of Apple and it’s inspired by the Apple II with classic beige and brown tones. It features a compact 68-key layout with a full aluminum build, including an aluminum shell, keycaps, and buttons. The limited-edition keyboard is now up for grabs directly from the brand’s online store for a rather hefty $499.99 shipped price, and you can get a closer look at it below along with more details.

SanDisk has just unleashed a new Express microSD card that’s officially licensed for the Switch 2. Right now, only the 512GB version is available, priced at $199.99 shipped at Amazon, though SanDisk is currently offering it for $149.99 shipped directly through its online store with a $40 discount. This new card carries the same specifications as the brand’s existing Express microSD model, and you can find more details on it below.

As part of its wider sale on electronics and other everyday items, Woot is offering Insta360’s GO 3S vlog-ready action camera in black for $289.99 Prime shipped. This is the 128GB variant of this camera that typically goes for $380 at Amazon, so you’re looking at a $90 discount on it right now. Discounts on this camera have been relatively less since the newer GO Ultra variant hit the scene last year, but today’s deal delivers solid clearance pricing to mark the lowest price we have tracked for it to date. It may not have all the bells and whistles as the updated model, but it remains a good pick overall for folks looking to buy their first action camera for everyday vlogging or PoV-style videos. Head below for more details.

8BitDo has been on a roll with its lineup of retro-inspired controllers and accessories, and it has now introduced a pair of new options tailored for N64 fans. Leading the drop is the 8BitDo Retro Receiver, a BLE-powered wireless adapter for the N64 that works with a wide range of 8BitDo and official first-party controllers. Alongside it is the N64-style 8BitDo 64 2.4GHz controller, which ships with the new receiver, letting you wirelessly enjoy classic titles on original hardware. Both are now available via 8BitDo’s official Amazon storefront, with the Retro Receiver priced at $24.99 and the 64 controller at $39.99 shipped. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Amazon’s annual Prime Day is one of the biggest sale events of the year, and it may arrive earlier than usual this time around. The retailer is reportedly planning to move the event to June instead of July, which has been the typical timing since Prime Day first launched in 2015. There’s no official confirmation directly from Amazon on this just yet, and the information reportedly comes from “people familiar with the matter.” While we’re currently waiting for a round of Spring deals, it seems even bigger discounts could be just around the corner this year. Head below for more details.

While there are plenty of newer Qi2.2 25W chargers on the market now, the standard Qi2 15W models are still very relevant and widely used. This is particularly true in the case of portable power banks, as many prioritize convenience factors like compact size and portability over the absolute fastest charging speeds. That’s where the Baseus Picogo power bank we’re checking out today stands out. It’s one of the more popular options available, and honestly, the smallest one I carry in my EDC these days. The compact form factor alone often makes me reach for it over other options I own. That said, there’s more to this model than just its size, and you can read more about my experience using it below.

Over at Newegg, you’ll find Acer’s 27-inch Nitro WQHD 170Hz gaming monitor currently going for $129.99 shipped. You’re looking at clearance pricing here as Acer has already rolled out newer models, including a 27-inch 240Hz version that is currently selling for $250. Today’s deal chops $120 off its $250 list price, landing at roughly a 48% discount. Not only is this the lowest price we can currently find for this model, but it’s also a solid price for a WQHD gaming display – it doesn’t get much less than this for a QHD monitor. This is a great option to consider if you’re putting together a budget-friendly battlestation, and you can learn more about it below.

ORICO makes some pretty neat compact smartphone gear, including docks, SSDs, and enclosures, and the K20 Mini we’re looking at today is one of its newer drives on its catalog. It’s a portable magnetic SSD that snaps onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and connects via a short USB-C cable to add quick extra storage. I’ve actually replaced the Crucial X9 I used with my iPhone and MacBook with this drive, and you can learn more about the experience of using this drive below.

These braided USB-C cables can handle everything from phones to higher-wattage devices like MacBooks. They support up to 240W charging, which is a significant step up from many cables in this price range that typically top out around 60W. Each cable measures 6.6 feet, giving you a bit of extra reach without feeling unwieldy. At just $3 per cable, you’re looking at a solid value here, so be sure to snag them to keep spare cables around the house, office, or in a travel bag.

Lenovo is known for showcasing bold concepts at MWC each year, and this time it’s turning heads with a foldable gaming handheld. It’s one of the first truly compelling use cases we’re seeing for the foldable tech beyond smartphones. Called the Legion Go Fold, this concept device features a display that folds in half to offer a compact 7.7-inch screen that sits between two controller halves when closed, and it expands into a larger 11.6-inch display when unfolded. You can use it in both vertical and horizontal orientations, which makes it a versatile unit. It’s easily one of the most exciting devices to come out of MWC this year, and you can learn more about it in detail below.

What we love

You’re looking at a compact mechanical keyboard that folds in half, making it easy to carry around. Unlike some cheaper alternatives, this one uses mechanical switches for a better typing feel compared to those membrane options, and it supports Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. It also has a built-in stand to hold your phone or tablet while typing, so you can prop it up and start typing when you’re out and about.

PowerA has a huge list of really cool Switch 2-compatible controllers that are officially licensed and themed after some popular franchises like Mario and Pokémon.

Head below for more info and a closer look at this new controller.

As someone who has reviewed and used plenty of mechanical keyboards, I’d started to feel like I’d seen it all in this space. Most boards today only really differ in layout or materials, while the overall design feels pretty repetitive. But the LOFREE Flow 2 we’re checking out today actually stands out. On paper, it sticks to a familiar 68-key layout, but the design is quite different, and it brings a few thoughtful additions that make it genuinely interesting. I’ve been using the Flow 2 wireless low-profile keyboard as my main board for the past few months, and it’s one I keep coming back to, even with several other keyboards sitting on my desk.

ASUS’ ROG announced its partnership with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS to create a limited-edition lineup earlier this year, and we’ll soon have the centrepiece of that collab up for grabs. You’re looking at the ROG Flow Z13-KJP gaming laptop, which is a touchscreen 2-in-1 with a 13.4-inch 2.5K 180Hz panel. This particular machine comes packed with some serious hardware wrapped inside a really cool chassis, and it comes bundled with a custom carrying case that looks like it came straight out of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS’ Death Stranding. Best Buy currently has a listing for this machine ready to go for $3,699.99 shipped, and you might want to be ready for this one as it’s expected to go quickly. Head below for a closer look and more details to see what you get for the money.

We just spotted a solid deal at Walmart that bundles Anker’s Prime 140W 4-port charger with a 25,000mAh 165W power bank for $104.99 shipped. That’s a ridiculously low price, considering the power bank itself is currently going for $105 on Amazon right now as part of a Valentine’s Day sale. The 140W charger typically goes for $90, so you’re essentially getting $210 worth of gear for half the price. It’s a great value if you’re looking to upgrade your setup for both home and travel charging. We don’t expect this deal to last long, so it’s worth grabbing while it’s still available.

With Amazon’s President’s Day sale launching this morning, Best Buy has updated its existing line up of deals to keep the momentum going with some fresh offers.

After rolling out its new G Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse, Logitech is already back with another fresh release for the year.

The new G325 LIGHTSPEED model is now up for grabs for $79.99 shipped, making it one of the more affordable pairs of headsets out there.

Today’s smart glasses generally fall into two camps: ones that put a big, wearable display in front of your eyes purely for entertainment, gaming, and media like Viture’s Lumar Ultra, and there are others like the RayNeo X3 Pro we’re checking out today – that aim to deliver practical, everyday AR experiences. I’m already a heavy user of the first kind for daily entertainment, but I’ve yet to see anything truly compelling in the “real” AR space for day-to-day use. I’ve been using the RayNeo X3 Pro as my primary pair of glasses for the past few weeks, and they offer a glimpse into where AR is in 2026 – full of potential, but still weighed down by deal-breaking compromises. Head below for a closer look and my full experience.

The DualSense controllers in these new finishes are now up for grabs at Amazon, and you can pre-order them now for $84.99 shipped. This listing also falls under the Amazon pre-order Guarantee, meaning you’ll be charged the lowest price if it falls to a lower price between now and the slated release date on March 12, 2026. Head below for more info and a closer look at this new gamepad.

Razer is known for dishing out some crazy CES announcements, and this year is no exception. The brand rolled out a wide range of new offerings – some that you’ll eagerly want to add to your battlestations, and others that feel more impressive on paper than in real-world appeal. Arguably the most intriguing reveal is the physical, holographic version of Project AVA, the assistant it first teased last year. Yes, Razer is looking to bring Project AVA directly to your desk in a sci-fi–inspired enclosure, complete with an HD eye-tracking camera and a far-field microphone. Hit the jump for more details.
