    Move over Hall effect, inductive switches are arriving for mechanical keyboards.

    Mechanical keyboards were trending toward Hall effect switches, but at CES Epomaker is following recent announcements from Ducky and hyping induction as the next big thing.

    Epomaker will debut its induction switches in its upcoming Magcore 87 tenkeyless board, which should cost under $200 when it launches at the end of January.

    If you can output 300W from a power bank, why not make it an RGB light show too?

    Sharge is showing off another one of its see-through power banks at CES. This upcoming model is the Shargeek 300, and it can output up to 300W across its USB ports and barrel connector. Plus, it’s got customizable RGB lighting.

    It will launch on Kickstarter in April for under $300, with an early bird backer discount.
