I have too many keycaps. I also own too many watches. I’m a real keycap/watch guy. So picture my surprise when the Miyo Watch Keycap came up on my feed last night.It’s a keycap with an analogue watch built into it. Specifically, a Miyota 5Y20 quartz movement with a dual-tone Super-LimuNova (glow-in-the-dark) dial and hands. Over the top, sapphire glass with an anti-reflecting coating. To the right, a small crown. All of which fits into a tiny 1U keycap—that’s equivalent to a single letter key on your keyboard.I’m definitely late to the game here, as the Miyo went on sale…

Two months ago, Valve released a beta version of Steam that had an option to send anonymised frame rate data, with the general idea being that the information would help improve compatibility and performance on devices using SteamOS. However, one sharp-eyed Steam user has noticed some additions to the latest beta, and these suggest that Valve may well be looking at telling you roughly how fast a game will run on any gaming rig.The user posted their findings at Resetera (via TechSpot), and the details all point to Valve rolling out its ‘Framerate Estimator’ at some point in the near…

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 has just landed via the beta version of Nvidia App, bringing with it the ability to try out the company’s latest and greatest version of DLSS frame generation. Along with yet another improvement to upscaling image quality and the ability to deliver up to five “fake frames” with its 6x frame generation option, what really excited me about this release was the new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation feature. With it, you can unlock the frame rate-boosting ability of multi-frame generation (MFG), but without forcing it to be on all the time. Surely, I thought, it would be…

Verdict A mass of features, including a heated and massaging lumbar support, under-seat cooling fan, integrated footrest, and loads of adjustability make this an impressive chair on paper. However, many of these features are more frustrating than fantastic, and when combined with a high price, they make for an unconvincing whole. Pros Amazing amount of adjustability Loads of features Footrest is a great addition Mesh build is comfortable and ventilating Cons Lumbar heating and massage aren’t very effective AI lumbar support is irritating Infuriating armrests Lots of assembly required The Hbada X7 Smart Ergonomic Chair is absolutely packed with features…

The company behind the popular Geekbench software tool has taken another pot shot at Intel’s BOT software.Primate Labs says that Intel BOT “only supports a handful of applications, meaning BOT-optimized benchmark results paint an unrealistic picture of how a CPU performs in practice. This makes Intel processors appear faster relative to AMD and other vendors than they would be in typical, real-world usage.”Following the announcement last week that all Geekbench results posted courtesy of Intel’s new Arrow Lake Plus CPUs would receive warning flag in the online database, Primate Labs has a new blog post detailing the results of in-house…

The Minirig has been my favorite Bluetooth speaker ever since I first reviewed one nearly 20 years ago. These perfectly-formed cylinders of sonic wonder sound great, have incredible battery life, and have a rugged build that makes them ideal for travel. With this new gold-plated edition, though, well, this one might be for at-home use only. Currently residing on our best Bluetooth speaker guide as my top recommendation for travel, the Minirig 4 is a surprisingly compact mono speaker with power and longevity that leaves most rivals in the dust. Normally finished in a tough brushed, anodized aluminum finish, this…

The Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition is a celebration of where it all started for Razer. It takes the company’s first gaming mouse design and, 20 years on, packs it with the latest cutting-edge tech to create what should be an ultra-desirable collectors’ edition. However, Razer then put a price on it. Never one to shy away from an aspirational price, Razer has gone all out with the Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition. Despite not being built from solid gold, it costs an eye-watering $1,337. Or should I say cost, as all 1,337 of these limited edition mice are already…

It’s tough to pick a favorite of the broadcasts I’ve been receiving from Planet Blip. I’m partial to the rants delivered by Blinker, an artificial being who lives between channels and signs off with “All hail the new static!” I’m also into Quizzards, a combination quiz show/roleplaying game where contestants answer questions instead of rolling dice to find out how their fantasy alter egos perform, and Boredome, where real teens talk about the real issues of the day. (“No adults allowed!”)Blippo+ is a game in the loosest sense of the word. Mostly what you do is scroll between channels to…
