Razer says its new Atlas Pro is the world’s thinnest glass mouse mat.

The original Atlas is 5mm thick, but the $129.99 Atlas Pro slims that down to just 1.9mm with a 1.1 mm sheet of tempered glass atop a 0.8 mm anti-slip base. The surface of the mat features a micro-etched texture, ensuring it’s compatible with optical sensors, while the edges of the glass have been CNC-milled to create a comfortable rounded finish.

DJI adds a wireless touchscreen remote to its new smartphone stabilizer.

The Osmo Mobile 8 Pro that DJI just announced in China for 899 CNY (around $132) carries forward a lot of the functionality of the last version including a telescoping extension rod and 10 hours of battery life. Its most compelling upgrade is a tiny touchscreen remote that magnetically docks to the gimbal.

The enscreenification of chargers continues with Satechi’s new ChargeView.

Not every power adapter needs a screen, but Satechi’s new $99.99 ChargeView, available now through its online store and Amazon, lets you monitor how much power individual devices are drawing from four USB-C ports, and how much of its total output of 140W remains.

<em>Depending on your setup the ChargeView can potentially power a couple of laptops plus your smartphone.</em>
<em>The ChargeView includes a multi-purpose stand so it can be used in a vertical or horizontal orientation.</em>
<em>The screen displays power distribution as well as the charger’s operating temperature.</em>

LG upgraded its portable StanbyMe 2 TV with a larger 4K screen.

After debuting at CES 2025, the StanbyMe 2 launched last July with a 27-inch 1440p display (the original was only 1080p). Less than a year later LG is introducing a new 32-inch version with a resolution bump to 4K and a slightly longer 4.5 hour battery. It’s launching in South Korea for around $1,080 but US availability hasn’t been confirmed.

<em>The StanbyMe 2 has a removable wheeled stand for moving it around your home.</em>
<em>The TV’s stand can be swapped for a carrying strap, but hanging it above your bed’s headboard may not be the best idea.</em>
<em>You can wirelessly mirror your smartphone or tablet’s screen to the StanbyMe 2.</em>

My Arcade’s new wireless gamepad is packed with retro gaming controls.

It’s got a D-pad, dial, trackball, and number pad making it ideal for playing classic games like Missile Command, Codebreaker, and Breakout. But unfortunately, My Arcade’s new $65 wireless gamepad is only compatible with the handheld Atari Gamestation Go and Gamestation Mega mini arcade cabinet.

<em>The gamepad features all the same controls as the Atari Gamestation Go so two players can compete on the handheld console.</em>
