Anytime I felt irked by the Active 2’s quirks, I’d remind myself that the watch on my wrist only cost $130.
Clean water for the end of the world and the roads that go there.
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 next-gen GPU battle begins with Nvidia alone at the top.
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:

The Quest 3S has its flaws, but it’s a great first VR headset.
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 smart security camera company debuted the latest addition to its 16MP lineup at CES. As the name implies, the Duo 3 WiFi works over Wi-Fi and stitches together video from two cameras to create a 180-degree panoramic view with color night vision, motion tracking, and people, vehicle, and animal detection.
The plug-in camera is available to buy starting today for $179.99.
