The MelGeek Centauri80 Rei Edition is the kind of keyboard that immediately grabs your attention before you even get to its day-to-day user experience and Hall effect features. This officially licensed Evangelion collaboration is built around Rei Ayanami and EVA-00, with themed detailing across the aluminum chassis, transparent keycaps, engravings, lighting, and even the OLED touchscreen. It’s also every bit as premium as it looks, carrying a hefty $459 price tag. Beyond the design, you’re getting gasket mounting, 8,000Hz polling, 0.01mm Rapid Trigger, magnetic switches, and a dedicated OLED touchscreen in the top-right corner. There are obviously much cheaper ways to get the Hall Effect performance, but the Centauri80 Rei Edition is clearly aimed at someone who wants the keyboard itself to be a centerpiece of the battlestation. I’ve been using it as my main board for the past few weeks, and here’s how it’s been holding up.

The 2026 IFA show is in full swing this week alongside all of the major deals live ahead of Labor Day. We have seen some interesting new intelligent charging gear, the ‘world’s thinnest’ portable SSD, home hubs that run AI locally, all-new Android tablets, phones with 185Hz panels, sleep speakers that monitor your health through the air waves, and even some IFA-adjacent reveals – the GTA VI PS5 controllers and a LEGO PlayStation. Check out the highlights down below.

Chargers with built-in displays are everywhere now, and Baseus is getting in on the trend with its new PicoGo Pro AH22 100W GaN charger. This one goes a bit beyond the usual wattage and temperature readouts, though, and it sports a smart display that can also recognize supported devices, show battery information, and surface a few other useful charging details. The PicoGo Pro AH22 just debuted as part of Baseus’ IFA 2026 lineup, and there’s already a launch deal bringing it down to $39.99 shipped with a promo code mentioned below. I’ve been using it as the main charger in my EDC for the past few weeks, so here’s how it’s been holding up and what you should know before picking one up.

Now I’ve never worn a ring before, but I have been wanting to test a smart ring for a while now. I was able to get my hands on the latest Gen 3 Smart Ring from RingConn, and to be honest, I’m a big fan. There’s one issue, but there’s also a HUGE perk. Be sure to peep the full video review below.

Lexar is joining the IFA 2026 announcements with a wild new portable SSD called Muse. This is being billed by Lexar as the world’s thinnest portable SSD, measuring just 3.8mm at its thickest point. It tapers further down to only 1mm around the edges, which is seriously impressive. That makes it more like a thin metal card than the usual chunky external drive we’re used to, and Lexar says it pulled that off with high-density NAND stacking and a custom ultra-thin PCB architecture. Head below for a closer look and more details.
