I’ve spent the past week typing on an early unit of the Norbauer Seneca, a mechanical keyboard that’s entirely custom, from its Topre-like electrocapacitive switches to its astonishingly smooth stabilizers. I also spoke at length with its creator about the process of making the board and why it’s so damn expensive. Stay tuned next week, feel free to ask about it in the comments, and meanwhile: just look at this keyboard.
Keyboard maker Angry Miao’s first crack at a mouse is a home run.
The $70 Anbernic RG 34XX is my favorite new way to play Game Boy — but the new RixelHK app lets people use the handheld’s built-in Wi-Fi to browse a huge catalog of games for free. It encourages you to download Nintendo, Sony, and Sega titles, and they appear to be the real deal but unauthorized.
Typically, would-be pirates would need to buy an SD card filled with pirated games or fill a card on a PC, but these Anbernics make downloading games as easy as downloading songs used to be.
Samsung Display’s bendy concept displays are always stunning, if not always practical. But rather than debate just how many compromises a foldable portable would require, or how pricy it might be, I choose to bask in its prototype glory!

Did they rebuild me better, stronger, faster? Not exactly! As I explain in my full story, the Hypershell Pro X made me feel like I had an extra energy tank, like the ones exosuit-wearing bounty hunter Samus Aran obtains in the Metroid games. Oh, and it works when you’re riding a bicycle, too!
It felt like an extra energy tank in a Metroid game.
Can Framework fix budget laptops next? That’s the goal, and Framework CEO Nirav Patel says he’ll be dogfooding it himself, making this 12-inch laptop his daily driver for the foreseeable future. He wouldn’t tell me just how budget it’ll go yet.
It’s the DJI Osmo Mobile 7 Pro. Personally, I prefer the Osmo Pocket 3’s dedicated camera instead of slapping my smartphone on a stick, but these hidden legs, arm, and snap-on eye are all pretty cool!
The Classic-GLO is an $89 glow-in-the-dark mechanical keyboard kit from Novelkeys. It’s just as fun to build and nice to type on as the Classic-TKL I tested and really liked last year, and now it glows in the dark. You know, just in case you need a little more joy on your desk. It comes in three colors, and I tried them all. Check it out:
Live AI is neat, but the problem is knowing when (and why) you’d want to use it.
The RTX 5090 fits in an Ncase M1, with a few caveats.
I added controllers to a 13-inch gaming tablet and I don’t regret it.
That’s the big question online — because the unique bicycle-spoke folding drone isn’t smaller or more powerful than DJI’s Mini drones. But it’s inexpensive, does do a few things they don’t — yet — and it’s fun to fold and unfold! Check it out in my video:
Just before Christmas, I told you how the company behind those awesome Popsocket alternatives had rescued the coolest-looking gamepad phone attachment I’ve ever seen.
Here at CES, my colleague Chris Welch got a quick demo that answers the biggest question: can this snappy spring-loaded gadget fling your phone around without yeeting it to the ground?
The company hasn’t been back in the US TV market for long, but the Z95B OLED proves that Panasonic can hang with Sony, LG, and Samsung at the very high end.
It’s not the most technologically advanced thing ever, no butt-kicking haptics inside. Just a comfy mesh chair that can cool me when I inevitably run hot or warm me on chilly days, with near-silent jets of conditioned air. I really hope Razer actually sells this Project Arielle.
The original GBA is tough to use indoors, so I tried fixing mine with a new screen! No soldering required, just ten screws and a few snips with flush cutters.
Here, I’m installing the $59 Hispeedido V5 “drop-in” kit I bought from Hand Held Legend; easier still would be dropping my motherboard into a new “laminated ready” shell and adding a laminated screen!
Google’s prototype smart glasses made me feel like Tony Stark. Can Android XR make it happen outside of a demo?
