After months of daily use, the Nothing Ear (3a) left me wondering why most people need pricier wireless earbuds. Its punchy, balanced sound, impressive noise cancellation, adjustable EQ, and dependable battery life outweigh a slightly loose charging case, unremarkable Spatial Audio, and a maximum volume that could be louder.
Thrustmaster gives Ace Combat 8 pilots the proper detachable throttle missing from simpler flight sticks, then adds 16-bit precision and vibration for missile launches, cannon fire, damage, and G-forces. A dedicated High-G Turn button completes the setup, because ordinary evasive maneuvers rarely survive long in the skies over Strangereal.
HORI’s official Ace Combat 8 flight stick combines Hall effect sensors, independent throttle and brake levers, twist control, and a dedicated High-G button in one ambidextrous unit. It also supports customizable inputs and optional twin-stick control when paired with a second unit.
Fanatec’s new ClubSport F1 Racing System keeps the proven 18 Nm ClubSport DD+ base but adds an all-new, wider Formula 1 wheel packed with forged carbon, magnetic paddles, rotary controls, and shift lights. It may be the closest most of us get to an F1 cockpit without sponsorship money or a super license.
HORI’s Electric Ocarina of Time lets Nintendo Switch 2 players use music to interact with Hyrule. It looks like Link’s famous instrument but replaces blowing with a mouthpiece button and finger buttons, offers Free Play and 12-song Auto-Play modes, and relies on the console hearing each melody rather than a direct controller connection.
Before Corsair let gamers anywhere near the TC80, it dropped 136 kg onto the chair, tilted it 300,000 times under load, and subjected it to more than 30 safety and durability tests. The resulting gaming chair adds a wide padded seat, breathable fabric, reclining backrest, and linkage armrests.
Imagine classic detective noir unfolding in a retro-futuristic city somewhere between The Jetsons and The Fifth Element. Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn follows a down-on-his-luck private eye through a case involving aliens, murder, and a glamorous multimedia star, with a limited theatrical run before the animated mystery reaches Netflix.
Mental health struggles do not always arrive as a crisis. Sometimes they show up quietly in the way you handle emotions, cope with stress, enjoy the things you love, or manage an ordinary day. Recognizing those changes may be the first sign that it is time to pay closer attention.
Corsair’s WARTHOG turns an ordinary PC build into something resembling military hardware. Its steel body, carry handles, guarded toggle switches, and “REMOVE BEFORE BUILD” tag are wonderfully unnecessary—and precisely why the case is so hard to ignore.
Android users have long watched iPhones and MacBooks work together while their own phones and laptops never matched that relationship. Googlebook aims to change that with a new premium laptop platform built around deep Android integration, arriving through Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo rather than a single Google-made machine.
Meta wants its Muse AI agent to live somewhere closer than your phone. The Muse Charm gives it a small, dedicated device you can speak to throughout the day, although Meta is keeping nearly every hardware detail under wraps for now.
Meta’s latest smart glasses range from ordinary-looking Ray-Bans that talk to you to display-equipped frames that navigate using visible landmarks and place a hologram of you on video calls. The eyewear is getting smarter; looking normal remains part of the assignment.
