Buy NowThe 4K projector market is far more complex than finding a suitable Ultra HDTV. Prices are steep and features can be confusing to compare.

We know that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts can be fanatical about this product category. Perhaps this was best demonstrated by the WhiteFox, which hit MassDrop a few years back as a hobby from Matteo Spinelli. Turns out, it was so popular that he sold over 4,000 units.
That hobby quickly turned into a business opportunity that is now available over at Kickstarter. The $100,000 campaign goal was crushed in a few days time as backers are flocking to the $159 aluminum keyboard. What makes it so special, you ask? The fully-programmable creation of Spinelli and Input Club gives users a wide-range of flexibility in a high-end aluminum design.

Apple includes a charging puck with every Apple Watch that it ships these days. The problem is, some watch bands, such as links or loops, can make it difficult to charge.

We’ve rounded up our favorite options below, ranging in price from $7 to $100. Hit the jump to find one that’s right for your needs.

Kickstarter is a great place to launch products for new inventors or those that are looking for funding and have exhausted all other options. We feature a handful of the coolest projects each week here on 9to5Toys that have caught our interest. And while some have succeeded and gone on to ship from Amazon and other trusted retailers, others have not. It’s an issue that has plagued Kickstarter from the beginning, leaving some with an uneasy feeling.
Well aware of this issue, Kickstarter is looking for ways to bring back established inventors that are success stories for more. This week we saw the launch of Kickstarter Gold, which is a limited time promotion running through July that offers old projects with new twists. Head below to see which campaigns have returned for a second pass.

The new Beoplay 4 earbuds have a gestured-controlled Active Noise Cancellation system that is unique to this overloaded product category.

And in typical fashion, it doesn’t come cheap.

I’ve been playing around with the Remix for the last while as the weather has gotten warmer. It has been a trustworthy companion by the water or while gardening outside. And while the features list is nice, I’m a big fan of its design…despite the hefty price tag.
