    CRKD added TMR thumbsticks to its tiny Atom gamepad.

    The new $29.99 Atom Plus, shipping in late June, isn’t quite as compact or cheap as CRKD’s original Atom gamepad that launched in 2024 for $19.99. But it’s a massive upgrade that adds a pair of drift-resistant TMR thumbsticks, motion controls, vibration feedback, and button remapping through CRKD’s mobile app.

    DJI’s Amazon storefront gives us our best official look at its new 360-degree drone.

    Following leaked videos and an official teaser from DJI itself earlier this month, the company has updated its Amazon storefront with a large promotional banner for the 8K DJI Avata 360, as spotted by New Camera. The banner also specifies March 30th at 8AM EST, which differs from the March 26th timing on the teaser. Will that be when preorders open?

    Dell’s new wireless mouse and keyboard run for a full day on just a 5-second charge.

    Thanks to supercapacitors both accessories will be ready for a full day’s work faster than it takes you to yawn, while a full 5-minute charge will power the Dell Pro 7 keyboard for three months and the mouse for up to 1.5. Pricing isn’t known, but both are expected to ship on April 16th.

    <em>Both the mouse and keyboard support multiple Bluetooth connections and include a 2.4GHz USB dongle.</em>

    Rolling Square’s Supertiny claims the title of world’s smallest 100W USB-C charger.

    The company has launched a Kickstarter for a new version of its Supertiny charger that bumps the output from 65W to 100W with a minimal size increase. The new 100W Supertiny GaN Charger weighs 100 grams (20 grams lighter than Anker’s smallest) and is available for preorder for around $53 with shipping expected in July.

    <em>Even with GaN technology the compact charger will get hot when used to charge “energy-intensive devices.” Rolling Square has included a ribbed design on the outside of the charger to help reduce physical contact when unplugging it.</em>
    <em>At just over two-inches long and 1.38-inches on each side, the 100W Supertiny charger is comparable in size to the AirPods’ charging case.</em>

    TTArtisan’s first instant camera features a retro folding bellows lens.

    The company is best known for lenses and lighting accessories, but it recently shared a video of its first camera, the TTArtisan 203T that shoots on Fujifilm Instax mini film with a folding lens and manual focus. It’s not available just yet, but you can sign up to be a beta tester for $400, as spotted by PetaPixel.
