Attack Shark, a gaming peripheral brand specializing in affordable, high-performance mechanical keyboards, gaming mice, and accessories, has put the spotlight on its newly launched flagship X11 ULTRA carbon fiber gaming mouse, alongside details of its upcoming 2nd anniversary sale, running from April 15 to 27 on its official website.

Positioned as an upgraded version of the brand's best-selling X11 series, the X11 ULTRA features a full-body injection-molded carbon fiber design with a proprietary forged texture, delivering a distinctive look and enhanced durability. The mouse is powered by the latest Nordic 54L15 chipset, providing improved performance.

Keychron's recent move to the HE 8K line of analog keyboards has seen it launch a number of new high-performance gaming keyboards with the new Ultra-Fast Lime switches and wired-only connectivity. Now, the keyboard maker has announced the C0 HE 8K as the latest installment in that line-up of gaming keyboards. The C0 HE 8K is a left-handed gaming-oriented wired Hall effect gaming keyboard with a built-in wrist rest and an aggressive angular design. The Keychron C0 HE 8K is launching at $59.99 on Keychron's online store and on Amazon. The Keychron C0 HE 8K is an affordable take on a one-handed gaming keyboard, so there is no gasket mount or wireless connectivity to be had, although it does have many of the same features of Keychron's higher-end keyboards.

The C0 HE 8K has 35 keys in total, making it technically a 35% keyboard, although it's only the left half of the keyboard, replete with the num row and F row. The keyboard's chassis itself is made of ABS plastic, while the keyboard features an aluminium plate and a tray-mount design. The keycaps are double-shot shine-through ABS in the OEM profile, which should feel familiar with many gamers coming from a standard gaming keyboard. Like all of Keychron's other HE keyboards, the C0 HE 8K offers customization of everything from the switch actuation distance to SOCD, DKS, Rapid Trigger, and Mod Tap through Keychron Launcher. The C0 HE 8K's Ultra-Fast Magnetic Lime switches feature a very lightweight 25 g actuation force, 3.35 mm of travel, and an all-POM construction. One of the stranger aspects of the C0 HE 8K is its "ergonomic angled space bar," that Keychron says is designed to align with the natural curvature of human fingers. The C0 HE 8K also features a built-in silicone palm rest for improved comfort. While the C0 HE 8K is largely marketed at gamers, Keychron also pitches it as a control surface for creative workflows.

Leaks about an upcoming Razer Viper V4 Pro have been circulating for a while now, with multiple e-sports pros seemingly using the new mouse in competitive tournaments. Now, though, the new wireless mouse has effectively been confirmed by two separate posts showing off early retail appearances of the Viper V4 Pro. First, a Reddit user posted in-store images of the Viper V4 Pro retail packaging that had seemingly accidentally been put in the storefront ahead of launch, and although the post was subsequently deleted by the r/MouseReview subreddit user, it didn't stop the images from showing up on X. For the most part, it seems like an iterative update to the existing Viper V3 Pro, as was expected, given the specs of the DeathAdder V4 Pro.

The aforementioned retail box gives us a good idea of what to expect from the Viper V4 Pro—that is, a minor sensor update to the Razer Focus Pro 50K, new Razer Optical Gen 4 switches, a Razer optical scroll wheel, and a 49 g total weight. Notably, the sensor is a slight improvement over even the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, although much of the rest of the mouse's specifications are practically identical. As expected, the Viper V4 Pro adopts the same more efficient and lower latency dome-shaped wireless receiver as the DeathAdder V4 Pro, replete with 8K polling and a claimed 180-hour battery life. According to Danish computer store, ComputerSalg, where the Viper V4 Pro was prematurely launched as well, although without any photos, the mouse will also be available in white at launch, and it will cost a staggering $199 (DKK 1,290 converted excluding VAT). This is significantly more expensive than both the existing Viper V3 Pro and the DeathAdder V4 Pro, so it's likely a pre-launch placeholder or the price of some special edition colorway. All of this indicates that the Viper V4 Pro is likely to launch within the next few weeks, but it will have to contend with both the new tech in the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike and the slew of Chinese gaming mice with similar hardware specs and much lower pricing.

UGREEN, a leading global consumer electronics brand, announced on March 6 that pre-orders have opened for its latest Maxidok line of docks, an all-new collection of Thunderbolt 5 docking stations for the European market. As a leading docking station brand on Amazon Europe, UGREEN brings next-generation desktop connectivity to the lineup, with higher bandwidth, lower latency, and greater expansion capabilities, providing a significant boost in performance and workflow flexibility.

As laptops become thinner and lighter, the trade-off is fewer available ports. At the same time, demand for faster data transfers, multi-display outputs, and external storage continues to rise. The Maxidok line, the latest flagship in UGREEN's Revodok series, is built to resolve these challenges with Thunderbolt 5 technology. It eliminates port and bandwidth bottlenecks that traditional docks struggle with for 4K/8K and multi-device workflows, fully utilising the high bandwidth and advanced display capabilities of Thunderbolt 5. The result is a powerful tool built to accelerate creative workflows and truly help users "Max Out Your Productivity."

Keychron recently announced the new Q HE 8K gaming keyboard line-up, starting with the Q1 HE, Q3 HE, and Q6 HE, all of which feature Keychron's Ultra-Fast Magnetic Lime switches and full metal construction. Keychron has now also added the Q5 HE 8K to the list, for those who want a slightly more compact layout but don't want to sacrifice the num pad in the process. The Q5 HE 8K is available on the Keychron web store in black and white colorways for $239.99. It will likely also launch on Amazon at a later date, but it is not yet available there.

Everything about the Q5 HE 8K is just about identical to the other keyboards in the series, with the exception of the layout, from the polyurethane foam gasket mount to the aluminium plate and OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps. The main draw over the Q5 HE 8K is that it condenses much of the same functionality as the full-size Q6 HE 8K into a small footprint—408 mm long vs 446 mm on the Q6 HE 8K—while only losing five keys and not compromising with a small zero key on the num pad. Unlike most 1800 layout keyboards, the Q5 HE 8K also has a programmable knob and a row of macro keys above the num pad. Like its brethren, the Q5 HE 8K is a wired-only keyboard, which has the side effect of bringing the front height down to 20.6 mm, and it has the same analog input features and 8 kHz polling rate as the other keyboards in the 8K series. The keyboard is also remappable and configurable in the Keychron Launcher web app, and it features all the usual analog keyboard trappings, like SOCD, DKS, Rapid Trigger, and controller emulation. It also has on-board macros with macro recording or manual programming functionality in Launcher, and it features Keychron's usual hardware OS selector switch alongside a hardware profile selector switch near the USB-C port.

Apple today announced the latest 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with the all-new M5 Pro and M5 Max, bringing game-changing performance and AI capabilities to the world's best pro laptop. With M5 Pro and M5 Max, MacBook Pro features a new CPU with the world's fastest CPU core, a next-generation GPU with a Neural Accelerator in each core, and higher unified memory bandwidth, altogether delivering up to 4x AI performance compared to the previous generation, and up to 8x AI performance compared to M1 models. This allows developers, researchers, business professionals, and creatives to unlock new AI-enabled workflows right on MacBook Pro.

It now comes with up to 2x faster SSD performance and starts at 1 TB of storage for M5 Pro and 2 TB for M5 Max. The new MacBook Pro includes N1, an Apple-designed wireless networking chip that enables Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, bringing improved performance and reliability to wireless connections. It also offers up to 24 hours of battery life; a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option; a wide array of connectivity, including Thunderbolt 5; a 12MP Center Stage camera; studio-quality mics; an immersive six-speaker sound system; Apple Intelligence features; and the power of macOS Tahoe. The new MacBook Pro comes in space black and silver, and is available to pre-order starting tomorrow, March 4, with availability beginning Wednesday, March 11.

Aside from its recent side-quests, like the new K2 HE Concrete and Resin Editions, Keychron has been updating its Q- and V-series mechanical keyboards with the new Ultra designs, featuring new ZMK firmware and Silk POM switches, and the latest installments in that series are the V10 Ultra and the V0 Ultra, which have just been released with those same enhancements. The Keychron V10 Ultra, an Alice layout mechanical keyboard, retails at $124.99, while the V0 Ultra, a standalone wireless mechanical num pad, is launching at $69.99. Being part of the V-series means that both the V10 Ultra and V0 Ultra are made of ABS plastic, and, being part of the Ultra family means they will both feature 8K polling—although the usefulness of this is debatable on a mechanical keyboard. The V0 Ultra is a standard num pad with a row of four macro or navigation keys above the 10-key portion and a column of five macro keys to the left of it. It also has a programmable knob in the top left corner.

The Keychron V10 Ultra 8K features a 75% Alice layout, which is meant to improve ergonomics by allowing users to angle their hands inwards, opening up the chest and shoulders, and it has an additional column of macro keys and a programmable knob along the left edge of the keyboard. Both the V10 Ultra and V0 Ultra have south-facing per-key RGB backlighting, and the V10 Ultra has a claimed 660 hours of battery life from a 4,000 mAh battery on 2.4 GHz with the backlighting disabled. The V0 Ultra packs a smaller 1,800 mAh battery but still claims up to 360 hours of battery life with the backlighting disabled. Both the V10 Ultra and V0 Ultra feature double-shot PBT keycaps in the OSA profile, and they are available with Keychron Silk POM Red linear, Brown tactile, and Banana tactile switch options. Both keyboards are also hot-swappable with any Cherry MX-style switches. Both of the new releases also use poron gasket mounts, which help reduce negative auditory feedback and soften the typing feel. Both the keyboard and the num pad also offer Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C wired, and 2.4 GHz connectivity.

Kioxia Singapore Pte Ltd, a worldwide leader in memory solutions, today announced the EXCERIA PRO G2 SDXC UHS-II Memory Card Series, designed for 8K video recording and continuous shooting. This series features two models in the Video Speed Class: V90 and V60. The V90 is a model designed for professionals seeking performance in 8K video recording, while the V60 is a more economical model with a good balance between speed and cost for those looking for UHS-II performance.

The all-new EXCERIA PRO G2 SDXC UHS-II Memory Card V90 takes professional photography, filmmaking, and content creation to the next level. Designed for 8K video recording and continuous shooting, these cards provide seamless performance and ample storage space with capacities up to 512 GB and reads up to 310 MB/s and writes up to 300 MB/s for high-end 8K photo or video shoots. With their UHS-II rating, this series enhances workflows with faster file transfers and smoother editing.

The Ninjutso Sora V2 is one of the lightest full-size solid-shell wireless gaming mice on the market, coming in at just 39 g, and despite the V2 only just recently having received an updated 8K update, Ninjutso is already teasing a Sora V3 for early February. This is according to a new post on the brand's X page. Not much else has been revealed about the mouse, but we can infer some likely specs and changes based on the available information. Based on the recent update to the Sora V2, we can at least expect the Sora V3 to weigh no more than 39 g and feature 8 kHz polling, at least a PixArt 3395 sensor, if not the 3950, and Omron Optical switches for the main clicks.

Along with an early sneak peek at the mouse's design, Ninjutso commented "Best claw grip mouse of 2026?" This suggests that the Sora V3 will have some minor changes to the shell, even though the shell looks nearly identical to the V2 in the teaser image. When Ninjutso announced the Sora V2, one of the major changes was that the V2 mouse was shorter than its predecessor and had a somewhat taller hump. Judging from the image of the V3, it appears as though Ninjutso is leaning into this design trend once more, because the hump looks to have grown somewhat again. It also appears as though the front edge of the mouse, along with the left and right click buttons, has been lowered slightly compared to the V2. The side buttons on the Sora V3 also look slightly more pronounced than those of the V2, which would make them easier to find and trigger in tense gaming sessions.

Razer recently refreshed its DeathAdder gaming mouse, launching the DeathAdder V4 Pro and leaving fans of the symmetrical Viper series wondering when they will get their dues. It seems as though the wait will be drawing to a close, with what looks like a camouflaged Razer Viper V4 Pro popping up at a recent VCT Americas Valorant tournament (spotted by Wasabi on X). The mouse was being used by Rose from BBL, and other than the fact that the shape looks about the same as the Viper V3 Pro, not much is known about the prospective Viper V4 Pro.

What is evident from the screenshots posted on X is that the Viper V4 Pro will use the redesigned dome receiver that was also present in the updated DeathAdder V4 Pro, suggesting that the underlying tech will get the same upgrades. This means that the Viper V4 Pro will likely feature the same Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2, 8K polling rate, and general technical capabilities as the DeathAdder V4 Pro. There will also likely be a slight weight reduction as there was with the DeathAdder—all but a necessity these days in order to compete with the flood of cheap, ultralight gaming mice from Chinese vendors. The sighting of the presumed Viper V4 Pro also sparked speculation about the possibility of a Viper V4 Pro Mini. No release date has yet been leaked or rumored, but it seems as though 2026 is a likely candidate.

Akko showed off a wide range of keyboards at last week's CES trade show, but the majority of products on display were already well known properties. The Chinese brand touted a refreshed M1 V5 TMR model for 2026 in pre-event press material, but the TechPowerUp team did not spot any specimens at the company's booth. We suspect that Akko had actually sold a fair few of its exhibited items to showroom visitors, by the time TPU staffers turned up in-person. Fortunately, two fairly new models were still sitting around for inspection purposes.

Starting with the sleek and slim Air 01 model—this low-profile mechanical keyboard has been prepped with Mac users in mind, although other platforms are supported via tri-mode connectivity. Akko has opted for precision CNC-machined aluminium construction, resulting in a premium feel combined with a sturdy feel yet lightweight property. The brand's latest low profile switches have been implemented on silicone gaskets—leading to a smooth typing experience. The Air 01 features PBT dye-sublimated premium keycaps. Apparently, the board houses an integrated RGB lighting system, but TechPowerUp did not take a moment time to fire up this decorative aspect. Akko started promoting their Air 01 low-profile model last November, with retail availability rolled out within a short timeframe.

GEEKOM will make its fourth consecutive appearance at CES 2026, taking place from January 6 to 9 at Booth 35025 in LVCC South Hall 2. As a leader in the Mini PC industry, GEEKOM is presenting its most focused product launch to date, marking a major expansion into premium laptops while continuing to advance its compact computing lineup.

The centerpiece of GEEKOM's CES 2026 showcase is the GeekBook X14 Pro, a laptop that sets a new benchmark for lightweight design. Weighing just 2.2 pounds and measuring only 0.23 inches at its thinnest point, the GeekBook X14 Pro is positioned as the world's lightest all-metal laptop. It features a 2.8K OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, delivering sharp visuals, vivid colors, and smooth performance.

Only yesterday, specs of the new Samsung Exynos 2600 SoC leaked and now the company has unveiled the chip on its website. However, it has done so without any of the usual PR that goes with a new major product release like this. The leaked details were mostly correct and the Exynos 2600 will indeed feature a 3.8 GHz C1-Ultra prime core, three C1-Prox3 3.25 GHz performance cores and six power efficient C1-Prox6 2.75 GHz cores, all based on the Arm's latest v9.3 architecture. The Exynos 2600 will be fabricated using Samsung Foundry's 2 nm GAA process and its low power design and the package will use something Samsung calls heat path block which is using a High-k EMC material which is said to improve heat dissipation.The Exynos 2600 should deliver 39 percent better CPU performance compared to its predecessor according to Samsung.

The GPU will be Samsung's Xclipse 960—which yesterday's leaks also got correct—with support for ray tracing and Exynos Neural Super Sampling (ENSS) or AI-powered frame generation and upscaling. Samsung claims twice the compute performance of its predecessor here. There will also be a separate AI engine with a 32K MAC NPU and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Other features include support for LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, support for up to 4K or WQUXGA displays with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, native 8K 30p video encoding and 8K 60p video decoding and finally support for up to 320 MP single camera resolution and the ability to shoot pictures at 108 MP at 30 FPS and of course there are some AI features here too, that Samsung calls DVNR or Deep learning Video Noise Reduction. All modern video codecs such as AV1, VP9 and Samsung's own APV are supported, but there's no sign of H.266. We'll likely get more details of the Exynos 2600 at CES early next year.

Keychron recently unveiled the first keyboards in the 8K refresh of its Q series analog gaming keyboards, and now it has revealed the Q2 HE 8K, which is a 65% version of the Q1 HE 8K. Much like the bigger versions that launched in November, the Keychron Q2 HE 8K features an all-aluminium chassis with a gasket mount, and it uses Keychron's OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps for a slightly different look than the regular Cherry or OEM profile. It also uses the Keychron Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic switches, which are lightweight, short-throw magnetic switch, coming in at just 35 gf actuation force and 3.35 mm of total travel. It also features an updated controller, which now delivers 8,000 Hz polling rate, although it has sacrificed the wireless connection of the prior Q HE series keyboards for the reduced latency. The updated sensors in the Q2 HE 8K also make the Q2 HE 8K keyboard compatible with a wider assortment of magnetic switches, rather than being limited to the south-pole Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches like previous Keychron HE keyboards.

The Keychron Q2 HE 8K is available from Keychron directly for $229.99, and it is available in both white and black colorways, both of which feature purple accents on the enter and escape keys and the CNC-machined aluminium knobs. The 65% layout is a slight variation of the traditional 65% layout, in the sense that it only features two navigation keys to the right of the alpha column, instead of the regular four keys. This is partially to accommodate the knob, but it is also because the Q2 HE 8K uses an exploded 65% layout, with space between the alpha cluster and the arrow keys and the navigation column. The Q2 HE 8K is fully customizable in Keychron Launcher, with support for analog features like Rapid Trigger, SOCD, Snap Tap, controller emulation, and Mod Tap, but there are also traditional mechanical keyboard customization options, like macro recording, layer setup, and key remapping. Actuation point customization is adjustable from 0.01 mm to 3.35 mm, with a minimum sensitivity of 0.001 mm.

ATK has introduced the A9 Air, a lightweight wireless gaming mouse built around flagship-grade components while targeting the mid-range market. The mouse is built on the ATK Shark MAX platform, measures 125 × 63.5 × 40 mm making it suitable for medium to large hands and weighs just 47 g. It is built around a PAW3950 Ultra sensor, offering up to 30,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking rate, and 50 G acceleration. Paired with a Nordic 54L15 controller, the mouse is capable of reaching polling rates of up to 8,000 Hz. It uses ATK SwiftLight optical switches with 0.181 ms latency. The A9 Air supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. ATK also included the new GEM 8K receiver for stable high-speed polling and bidirectional 8-track transmission in noisy RF environments. Additional hardware includes a TTC Gold scroll wheel, several sets of interchangeable Teflon-based mouse feet, and a 300 mAh battery rated for up to 300 hours at 1000 Hz.

The A9 Air edition is almost identical to ATK's A9 Ultra Max 2.0 and A9 Ultimate mice, with those two having a larger 800 mAh battery and a weight of 53 g. Thus, it is safe to say that the weight reduction in A9 Air (47 g) comes most likely from its smaller battery (300 mAh vs 800 mAh). The ATK A9 Air gaming mouse is available in four colors: black, white, midnight white, and phantom orange, for $79.98 on the company's official store.

Keychron has just expanded its line-up of analog gaming keyboards, launching three new all-aluminium Q HE series gaming keyboards with 8K polling and new TMR sensors. The new Q HE 8K series keyboards will kick off with the launch of the Keychron Q6 HE 8K, a full-size all aluminium gaming keyboard, and the Q3 HE 8K, which adopts a TKL layout, instead. The Q3 HE 8K ($229.99) and Q6 HE 8K ($239.99) will both be available on Keychron's site starting November 18, 2025, while the Keychron Q1 HE 8K, with a 75% layout, will be available from December 11. All of the new TMR keyboards are available in black and white with purple accent keys on the enter and escape keys. As the name suggests, the new Keychron Q HE 8K keyboards feature 8 kHz polling rate, but that comes at the cost of wireless connectivity. The new Q HE 8K keyboards use USB Type-C connections exclusively, although the connection mode switch typically found on Keychron keyboards has been replaced by a hardware profile selection switch.

The Keychron Q HE 8K keyboards have similar designs to previous Keychron Q HE keyboards, with the same aluminium switch plate and double-shot PBT keycaps in OSA profile. However, Keychron has swapped out the Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches found in its previous Hall effect and TMR keyboards with the Keychron Ultra-Fast Magnetic Lime switches, which are a lightweight (26-40 gf) linear switches with a standard orientation, making the Q HE 8K keyboards compatible with most other magnetic switches currently available. The new Q HE 8K series keyboards are powered by QMK firmware and are configurable and customizable through Keychron Launcher, a web app that is very similar to something like VIA but with a few additional features, like easy firmware updates.

Q16 HE 8K is available now in two colorways (Cetacean Blue and Mint White) starting at the early bird price of $219.99 USD on Kickstarter.

In a market where premium keyboards often converge on the same metals and plastics, materials innovation has stalled even as user expectations rise. Many creators, gamers, and professionals want speed, custom control, and a fresh design language that feels sculptural on the desk. Ceramic offers a durable, surface with a cool, smooth touch and a refined finish. It also changes the typing experience itself, producing acoustics that deliver a distinct tactile and auditory profile unlike metal or plastic.
