The GMMK 3 Pro HE, at least on paper, looks like the only keyboard you’ll ever need for your battlestation. It offers a fully customizable design, a durable aluminum case, gasket mounting with sound dampening material for a soft and comfortable typing experience, support for both MX and Hall effect switches, and more. It carries an expensive price tag, but it ticks almost every box for an enthusiast, ensuring it stands as a highly customizable option for all your needs. I’ve been using this as my primary keyboard for both work and play over the last few weeks, and I’m here to tell you whether it’s worth the premium price tag. Hit the jump for a closer look at the keyboard along with all the details.

This new iPhone 16 Pro Max bumper from the brand once again features that aerospace-grade aluminum we have come to love from Arc, but this time with a blueish, color-changing treatment that will make your handset standout from the crowd even more than its usual Arc Pulse models.

Spigen has been releasing some of our favorite budget-friendly Apple Watch bands for years now – the Lite Fit is a particular highlight – and its latest has just surfaced on Amazon. The new Athlex Air model is arriving today with a sporty fabric approach akin to Apple’s Trail Loop, just with some extra hits of stitched detailing and at a fraction of the price. Now available for purchase in four colorways at $19.99 Prime shipped, you can get a closer look down below.

Sony has now officially unveiled the new PlayStation 5 Astro Bot console bundle. While the Mushroom Kingdom took over the internet yesterday for Mario Day 2025, we wanted to touch down this morning to make sure folks interested in picking up a new PlayStation console didn’t miss this one. The question is, do you get that awesome Astro Bot controller? And is there anyone out there wants a copy of the 2024 Game of the Year winner not already have one?

The PC gaming handheld space has seen rapid growth over the last couple of years since Steam Deck’s debut, and it looks like Microsoft is finally getting ready to enter the race with its own model. According to a new report, Microsoft is said to be working with an OEM partner to launch an Xbox-branded handheld later in 2025. The report further mentions Microsoft’s plans to launch full next-gen Xbox consoles in 2027. Hit the jump for more details.

We’re well into the swing of Mario Day 2025, also known as MAR10, with LEGO’s promotions having been running since last week (and which ends tomorrow, March 11) – giving you 2x points on Super Mario building sets, as well as a 30702 Mario Kart – Toad (Pit Crew) GWP along with purchases of $40 or more. While folks over the weekend might not be surprised to have found clocks jumping forward, the LEGO group is surprising us with a new highly detailed set, 72037 Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart, which is even being unveiled while open for preorder.

While Kojima fans might have the new Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater on the top of their mind right now, the famed video game auteur has been hard at work readying the release of Death Stranding 2, and we now have the official release date, details on pre-orders, a new 10-minute trailer, and a look at the epic new Collector’s edition too. 

We are quickly closing in on the scheduled official Nintendo Direct showcase for Switch 2 – it is now just over 3 weeks away folks – and some new details on the console have surfaced courtesy of an official Federal Communication Commission (FCC) filing. Previously patens all but confuted the existence of mouse mode for the new Switch 2 Joy-Con alongside a reversible display and a look at the drawings of a new charger, but FCC report that has now surfaced is giving us some official details on NFC support, dual USB-C charging, and more. 

The official Mario Day 2025 game deals are set to go live today folks! The eShop digital Switch game deals for MAR10 went live a few days back – details on those are right here – and the physical Nintendo game deals are set to go live today at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and elsewhere. Nintendo detailed a sneak peak at the first-party games scheduled to go live for this year’s Mario Day festivities back on March 4 when it officially announced this year’s promotions, but just about everything is actually set to go live today some 24 hours before the official March 10 annual Mushroom Kingdom festivities. 

Mario Day 2025 is getting off to an early start as per usual – the official eShop sale is now live from $1.50 and the Nintendo LEGO offers are now up for grabs, but Nintendo also just unleashed a couple new classics for Switch Online members. While we were expecting and might still get some other Mario titles, Nintendo has unleashed a couple of new classic Game Boy titles to its retro Switch Online library and you can go play them right now. Details below. 

Update: The PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition is now available for pre-order at Target. 

While Head of Creative Neil Druckmann might have just said we might not ever see The Last of Us III – I’ll believe it when I don’t see it – PlayStation has now just revealed the first-look at the brand new DualSense wireless controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition. Scope it out down below in the reveal trailer alongside pre-order details. 

Anyone who owns a home enjoys camping or works remotely should consider owning a portable power station, like the Andes 1500 from Ampace, for example. This ultra-efficient, sustainable power station is backed by major players in the battery manufacturing industry, and after putting it to the test, I can say it delivers quality portable power in a number of helpful ways.

There has been some talk regarding a second screen functionality for Switch 2, you know, DS-style, but a newly surface patent filing is also pointing at potential magnetic smartphone integration for Nintendo’s new console. We have already seen details on some relatively new patents that all but confirm the magnetic Joy-Con and mouse mode, but it looks as though Nintendo could have some kind of magnetic attachment in the works that could enable a second screen functionality by way of your smartphone for Switch 2, and potentially and entire modular accessory holder system for other devices. 

If you grew up watching the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s like me, there’s a sweet memory of shooting hoops and wanting to dunk like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. In reality, I can barely touch the rim on a ten-foot hoop, but thanks to the Pro Mini Basketball Hoop from BADGOAL, I was able to create my own dunk contest in the comfort of my home office… although my shooting could use a lot of work. Be sure to watch me embarrass myself on the mini hoop in my video below.

Today we are taking a hands-on look at the new Spigen Tag Me item locators – the brand’s latest AirTag competitors that surfaced earlier this year. They might be about half the price of an AirTag, the question is whether or it’s worth saving the cash or not? Head below for some hands-on impressions of the new Spigen Find My AirTag competitors.

Nintendo has now officially announced Mario Day 2025. Perhaps better known as MAR10, every year on March 10 Nintendo celebrates the world’s most famous plumber and the rest of the gang with a host of major price drops, a new console bundle or two (we uncovered a really early look at that – it’s already up for sale right now), My Nintendo challenges and events, and this year, a look at the real-life JetBlue Aircraft Featuring Mario and Friends we featured images of this morning. Head below for more details on the 2025 Mario Day festivities. 

Just after the reveal and launch of its new CREAMi ice cream maker with a soft-serve dispenser, Ninja is back at it again with its new Artisan Outdoor Pizza Oven. Clearly looking to get a head start on upcoming spring/summer backyard pizza parties, the new model delivers on the similarly attractive design of the previous Woodfire models, but is aimed at being much easier to use and, perhaps best of all, come in at a more affordable price tag. 

Update: Pre-orders are now live:

• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Standard $49.99

What sounds like an epic nostalgic return to form, everything you know and love about the originals appear to be making a comeback alongside new skaters, parks, tricks, and modernized visuals. Scope out the trailer below. 

Update 3/24: Nintendo has unleashed a new video and some additional imagery of the Nintendo x JetBlue Cloudtop Cruiser…you’ll find them below. 

Update: Nintendo has now officially served up some details on the Mario plane as part of its 2025 Mario Day announcement:

 JetBlue and Nintendo have partnered on a custom livery featuring Mario and friends! The Airbus A320 Restyled aircraft named “Cloudtop Cruiser” features a bright, colorful design featuring Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong and Yoshi. Inside the aircraft, the welcome screens of the plane’s seatback entertainment touchscreens will also include Mario and some of his Mushroom Kingdom pals. JetBlue customers and Nintendo fans can now spot the Cloudtop Cruiser flying throughout JetBlue’s network!

Nintendo just took to its official X account to reveal some official images of the new JetBlue x Nintendo Cloudtop Cruiser – it is now, not arguably, officially the world’s greatest plane. And this one doesn’t just land at Sunshine Airport, Nintendo says this ”Mario & Friends-themed plane might be landing on a runway near you.” Get a closer look below. 

You know CASETiFY? The smartphone case company? Of course you do. Well it has turned its best-selling Bounce case for iPhone and other devices into carry-on luggage and we are hands-on today to give it a run for its money and drop down some impressions for folks.

We recently put up our master Nintendo Switch 2 guide, collating all of the details, leaks, and rumors that have surfaced on the next-generation console. Next up, some alleged 3D renders of the Switch 2 dock from historically reliable leaker. While we have already caught  glimpse of the Switch 2 dock in the first-look trailer Nintendo revealed, these supposed official renders of the actual dock give us a 3D look and perhaps some additional details alongside some renders of the Joy-Con Grip and charger. 

AMD is going after NVIDIA’s 50-series lineup with its brand-new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 09070 XT graphics cards. These new models specifically target NVIDIA’s mid-range GPUs with a starting price of $549. That’ll make NVIDIA’s new GPUs, especially the RTX 5070 Ti, look quite a bit pricey when they land on the market next week, and they’re worth your attention if you’re in the market to buy a new graphics card for your PC. Head below for a closer look and more details.

While we did happen to coincidentally spot some of these deals popping yesterday (that is what we do after all), Nomad has now officially launched a wide-ranging overstock sale featuring a number of its newer releases for iPhone 16 alongside some bundle offers that combine its wonderful MagSafe chargers with its premium cables and wall chargers too. Head below for a closer look. 

Happy Pokémon Day 2025 Trainers! This year’s celebration lands 29 years to the day since the original Pokémon video games were released in Japan, but perhaps more importantly will almost certainly give us another good look at the upcoming new Pokémon Legends: Z-A game scheduled to come to Switch this year, and quite possibly for Switch 2. The real celebration kicks off this morning with an official Pokémon Presents live stream and you can catch it all down below. 

In an industry where prices just seem to keep going up on both software and hardware, Sony has just announced an official price cut coming to PlayStation VR2. The PS VR2 system has seen its fair share of direct competition from the likes of Meta Quest 3 and others, but Sony is now looking to get more aggressive with its recommended retail pricing on its current-generation PS VR2 to entice gamers to jump into its virtual reality gaming platform through 2025 and into the holiday season come year’s end. 

Amazon event day has arrived. As we reported previously, Amazon is set to take the stage in New York City today to host a live event promising to reveal “what’s next” from the brand’s in-house tech divisions and Alexa teams. Officially dubbed the Amazon Devices & Services event, everything is set to kick off at 10 a.m. ET and we will have a running live blog below to keep you posted on all of the latest gear and Alexa updates going live on stage this morning down below. 

Elevation Lab has been on a role already in 2025 with a series of new innovations and mounts for Apple’s AirTag item locators. While there might be a new AirTag 2 on the way this year, there’s also a ton of current-gen AirTags out there and Elevation Lab delivers some of the very best ways to put them to use or re-purpose them. Its latest solution has arrived, the new TagVault AirTag Camera. This metal and carbon fiber composite accessory is designed to neatly and securely hide an AirTag in a universal tripod plate. Now available for purchase via the band’s official Amazon storefront, you can get more details and a closer look down below. 

February feels like it’s taking forever and March might be even worse as Mario Day 2025 will likely just be a reminder of how much longer we will have to wait for Nintendo Switch 2 to actually launch. But we will all just need to be patient at this point, as the scheduled Switch 2 Direct presentation is landing on April 2 and just about everyone presumes pre-orders will go live shortly after that. But when is Switch 2 going to actually release Nintendo? And how much is it going to cost? We need to know and we need to know soon. While these question will likely get answered in early April, a former Nintendo sales strategist has made some public predictions that might end up being the most accurate information we have seen yet. 

Mario Day 2025, or MAR10, is just around the corner now, and it looks like this year’s bundle has already “leaked” at Best Buy. In fact, you can already buy it right now. While this year’s Mario Day celebration might be a touch underwhelming for some considering it’s going to land roughly a month before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showcase and subsequent pre-orders for the next-generation console, but Nintendo clearly thinks its current-generation OLED console still has some fire left in it as the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder bundle is now up for sale at $349. 

Anker debuted a pair of new display-equipped chargers at CES this year (reviews on the way for those), but neither of them offered up the versatility I was after in the way its latest Prime Power Bank does. It is also a more compact solution, providing both entirely portable power bank functionality while also doubling as a wall charger – this is exactly what I needed for my EDC, so let’s find out what this thing is like in hand and what it’s like to actually use. 

The new CASETiFY iPhone 16e cases have surfaced. CASETiFY is one of the more popular smartphone case brands out there, and one that has been so for more than a few years now. Its success is largely hinged on delivering higher quality covers, attractive branding, offering up collections for just about every major smartphone release, and, perhaps even most of all, its massive selection of designs you can choose from. The iPhone 16e models have arrived and they are now available purchase starting from $70 on the eve of pre-orders going live for the new, more affordable iPhone release. 

Earlier this year Nintendo officially teased an upcoming collaboration with LEGO – an upcoming, brick-built Game Boy set. It will likely be the biggest Nintendo hardware release of the year outside of the Switch 2. At the time of the official reveal, there weren’t many details to go on outside of a teaser video and that it was indeed on the way this year, but a supposedly reliable leaker might have just outed some details on the new LEGO Game Boy along with the price. 

While we’re waiting for Rockstar Games to announce the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, it’s busy pushing updates to its existing blockbuster title. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto V is getting a free upgrade in a few days, bringing support for ray-traced global illumination, ambient occlusion, and a bunch of other features. The company confirmed the same via an official blog post and announced the upgrade will be available for free from 4th March. Head below for a close look at all the details to see how the game is being improved.

The Ring smart home platform is being expanded today with the debut of the new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus. After a busy 2024 filled with its “first-ever” smart integrated pan-tilt cam, the new pro-grade smart doorbell, and more, the brand is kicking 2025 off with its latest outdoor intelligent surveillance tech. Now available for pre-order ahead of next month’s launch, head below for the details on the all-new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus

Next out of the gate with a new batch of cases for Apple’s iPhone 16e is UAG – one of our favorite protective case makers. Ready to bring its special brand of almost military-style protective vibes to Apple’s latest handset, all but one of the brand’s new cases brings back the magnetic action to 16e, and everything is now available on the official site starting from $40. Get a closer look down below. 

The new ESR iPhone 16e MagSafe cases are now available for purchase starting from just $9.99 Prime shipped. Apple might have nixed the MagSafe support on its new, more affordable 16e handset, but, much like the Spigen 16e lineup, ESR is here to ensure you can still use MagSafe accessories and at a super affordable price. The new MagSafe iPhone 16e models are all waiting for you right here and we will take a closer look below. 

While we are still awaiting the official Switch 2 Direct showcase on April 2 to get the full picture on the next-generation Nintendo console, plenty of additional details have come to light since then. From official patents specifically mentioning mouse mode, the lack of support for the current Switch Online Game Voucher program, and Nintendo’s official comments on how it is dealing with the U.S. tariffs situation, all of the rumors and speculation have been interspersed with solid, confirmed details. We also know there are two USB-C ports on the machine, and one can only assume they are for more than just charging convenience – many have suggested a web cam add-on could be on the way, but does this also suggest that the dual-display rumors previously circulated could ring true?

The new Spigen iPhone 16e cases have arrived. Apple has now unleashed its brand-new, more affordable iPhone 16e and, just like clockwork, Spigen is the first out of the gate with its new case lineup. Spigen, as any avid 9to5Toys reader will already know, is a staple in the smartphone case business, delivering affordable solutions in loads of different styles at prices lower they ought to be in most cases. Listings are now going live on the new iPhone 16e Spigen case lineup with models starting from $16 Prime shipped. 

We have already outlined the expected Switch 2 launch window games, rumored titles like GTA 6 and Metal Gear Solid Delta as well as select Xbox titles and some details on backwards compatibility. And while Nintendo hasn’t fleshed out the details on exactly how Switch games will work on Switch 2 (we know some titles won’t have full compatibly), we do now have some details on how Nintendo Game Vouchers will work on the next-generation console. 

Nomad has just launched its brand-new, next-generation ChargeKey. This compact USB-C cable accessory is designed to land on your keychain (or in your EDC) to provide on-the-go charging and, this time around, data transfer action for iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Android devices, and more for $25. Head below for a closer look and some hands-on impressions for the new Nomad ChargeKey – this might be the best mini USB-C I have ever tested out.

We are now just over 6 weeks out from the official Nintendo Switch 2 Direct – a showcase where we expect to see a full blow out of the console’s feature set, some launch game information, pre-order details, and, perhaps most importantly, the price. The question is whether or not those Trump tariffs are going to take a toll on Nintendo’s stateside bottom line come launch day or not. However, in a recent press conference Nintendo boss Shuntaro Furukawa did have something to say about the matter. 

It’s time we collect all of the best Presidents’ Day deals into one handy spot for you. We have been scouring the interwebs over the last week or so in the lead up to today’s holiday, and there is a massive selection of discounts now up for grabs on the latest Apple and Google gear, Samsung tech, and accessories for all of it. Those offers also join a hand-curated collection of apparel and footwear deals, PC gaming upgrades, loads of EVs and e-bikes, plus much more.

While Apple might have a new next-generation AirTag 2 on the way later this year, we are tracking some solid deals for Presidents’ Day on the existing model (as low as $17.50 a pop) and the new Elevation Lab TagVault AirTag Security Cable holder just surfaced on Amazon. The brand, as any avid 9to5Toys reader will already know, is one of, if not, our favorite out there when it comes to Apple AirTag accessories, and its latest solution has arrived with a rugged build and a robust steel braided cable. Now available for purchase starting from $13.99 (or less with a 2- or 4-pack), all of the details are waiting down below.
