Epomaker Launches Bamboo75 and Galaxy75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboards

Epomaker previously revealed the Galaxy75 in an official livestream video, but the peripheral maker has now officially launched the Galaxy75 alongside a new keyboard, the Bamboo75. As we covered previously, the Galaxy75 features a relatively standard 75% layout, an aluminium case, polycarbonate plate, a mix of PBT and PC/ABS keycaps, wireless connectivity with an 8,000 mAh battery, and Epomaker's Creamy Jade linear switches. The official launch price, which was previously unknown, is $109 on Epomaker's site, and the Galaxy75 is available in three colorways: black, purple, and pink.

The Epomaker Bamboo75, on the other hand, is a slightly more interesting affair. It takes a similar, but notably not identical, layout to the Galaxy75 but swaps out the cutesy pastel and minimalist aesthetics of the Galaxy75 for a more nature-inspired design, thanks to a case made of bamboo and keycaps made of a mix of ABS and PBT with wood grain print on the top. Those Cherry profile keycaps also feature a side-printed shine-through legend, which allows the south-facing per-key RGB backlighting to shine through while keeping the consistent wood aesthetic when looking at the keyboard from the top. Like the Galaxy75, the Bamboo75 also packs wireless connectivity, with both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity, and it also has an 8,000 mAh battery, although Epomaker doesn't provide any claims of battery life.

Keychron Launches G25 HE 46 g Gaming Mouse with Razer Viper Mini Shape and Analog Switches

Following the release of the Keychron G6 HE, the brand has been steadily expanding its portfolio of models with Hall effect switches for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger support. The G25 HE is Keychron's latest HE mouse model, recently announced in an X post, and it takes the Hall effect switch tech and the flagship internals of the G6 HE and puts it all into a smaller shape that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Razer Viper Mini and Cobra shapes. Keychron has yet to provide a full spec sheet or product page for the G25 HE, but the mouse has been scanned and submitted to EloShapes for comparisons, where its specs and features are also available.

The Keychron G25 HE measures in at 120 × 63 × 39 mm and weighs 46 g, which is on the lighter side for a wireless mouse, but not the lightest by any means. It is also a symmetrical shape with right-side programmable thumb buttons and a partially open bottom plate. The G25 HE is powered by a PixArt PAW 3955 optical sensor and a Nordic 54LM20A MCU, which means it has a peak DPI of 40,000, up to 8 kHz polling rate, and can track at up to 750 IPS and 60 G of acceleration. The star of the show, and the mouse's namesake, are the MagOpt switches which feature both optical and Hall effect magnetic sensing, although the switches still have a click leaf and a distinct tactile bump, which has been largely considered to have a negative impact on the mouse's adjustable actuation trickery.

Googlebook Update Frees Up RAM From On-Device AI

Google has started rolling out the November update for Googlebook, and the biggest change is how much memory the platform's on-device AI takes up. On the Acer Googlebook 14, ASUS Googlebook 14, and Lenovo Googlebook 15, Google's release notes say it has improved memory usage for on-device AI to make multitasking more stable on 16 GB devices. Apparently, this comes down to updated memory management in the NPU driver, which reportedly frees up between 3 GB and 6 GB of system RAM and lets the OS claw back memory when Chrome needs more of it. The Help Center notes don't put a number on it, though, and the 3 GB to 6 GB figure comes from Google's announcement on Reddit.

The update, build CL3B.260622.286.R2, carries the November 1 security patch and around 30 fixes in total. Among them are keyboard and trackpad input dropping out on convertibles, black screens with DRM-protected video on external monitors, external USB microphones not working, Zoom crashes with background effects, and bootloops when an update gets interrupted. HP and Dell owners also get a fix for Bluetooth audio lip-sync issues, and the Linux Terminal gets several reliability fixes. All three models getting the memory fix ship with 16 GB of RAM. Freeing up to 6 GB on those machines is a big deal, since that's over a third of the total memory. The update is rolling out gradually, and owners can check for it under Settings > System > Software updates > System update.

Keychron Reveals Orca Echo Ergonomic Keyboard With Built-In Trackball and Dual Switch Profile Support

Keychron has been busy lately, whether it be with new gaming mouse launches, fancy steampunk keyboard designs, or the recently announced Nape Pro trackball mouse. The latest announcement from Keychron is the Orca Echo, a new split ergonomic keyboard that aims to be beginner-friendly while also providing more features than you can shake a stick at. At a surface level, the Orca Echo is a 49-key split ergonomic keyboard with a moderate columnar stagger layout, a built-in trackball under the right thumb, and a roller under the right thumb. However, in the space above the caps key on the left half of the keyboard and the B key on the right half, the Orca Echo also hides two touch-sensitive scroll pads for additional website and document navigation without having to move your hands off the keyboard.

The Orca Echo also has a few hidden features, like the new Nova socket, which is a new switch socket design that sits partially inside the keyboard's PCB and, Keychron claims, allows for a lower-profile design than traditional MX, Gateron, or Kailh sockets. The Orca Echo will also have magnets built into the bottom of the keyboard's case that allow the two halves to snap together for more convenient travel use cases. There are also fold-out feet on the bottom of each keyboard half for tenting, which is often touted as more ergonomic for the wrists. The Orca Echo will ship with a new Keychron switch with a pin layout similar to Gateron Low-Profile 3.0 switches, making it incompatible with Keychron's Milk POM switches but allowing for both low-profile or full-height MX switches, although swapping between the two switch profiles will require a plate swap, similarly to keyboards like the NuPhy Kick75.

Google Says Detachable Googlebooks Are Next in Line

Google has confirmed that Googlebooks with removable keyboards are on the way. During its Android Dev Summit 2026 keynote last week, the company said its Chromebook successor "spans across large screen form factors from clamshells, convertibles, and soon detachables." That's all Google said, so there's no date, price, or specific device attached to it yet. The current lineup is mostly made up of clamshells, and the Acer Googlebook 14, with its 360-degree hinge, is the only convertible in it.

Reports claim that the first detachable will most likely come from Lenovo, which already sells the Googlebook 15. Its Googlebook Duet m, codenamed "Sapphire," showed up in the Bluetooth SIG database back in August, and a matching keyboard and Lenovo Pen Pro stylus have now cleared the FCC under the IDs O57DUET13BTKB and O57AP501U1. The keyboard schematics carry Googlebook branding on the left palm rest, and it seems to work both through pogo pins when attached and over Bluetooth LE on its own battery. Leaks point to a 13-inch OLED panel and a MediaTek chip, though reports disagree on which one, and Lenovo hasn't confirmed any of it.

Tuxedo Nano Pro Gen15 Mini PC Launches With Intel Core Ultra X7 358H and Linux Preinstalled

Tuxedo Computers has just announced its Nano Pro Gen15, a new mini PC powered by Intel's Panther Lake Core Ultra X7 358H CPU and its capable Arc B390 iGPU. The mini PC is a workstation targeting developers and home lab enthusiasts who want to run "local, secure, sovereign" LLMs, but Tuxedo also fully acknowledges that it can be used as a no-fuss mini gaming PC, thanks to Intel's graphics integrated into the Linux kernel of the pre-installed TuxedoOS. Physically, the Nano Pro Gen15 measures in at just 110 × 117.5 × 49 mm, and it features a plastic chassis, although Tuxedo has maintained a repair-friendly design, with just four screws required to access the internals, where the upgradeable RAM, storage, and wireless cards are easily accessible.

Tuxedo supplies a 120 W external power supply that connects via a barrel adaptor, but it makes no claims about the actual maximum TDP of the Intel CPU inside. Connectivity on the Nano Pro Gen15 is reasonable, if not stellar, with Wi-Fi 7 and dual 2.5 GbE for networking, alongside Bluetooth 6 for peripheral connectivity. On the back of the mini PC, there is a DC-in power port, the aforementioned 2.5 GbE ports, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, 2× HDMI ports with HDMI 2.1 support on Windows and 2.0b support on Linux (for now). On the front of the mini PC, there is a USB4 port, 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port with DP 1.4a Alt Mode, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port alongside a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. Tuxedo says that, between the USB Type-C ports and the dedicated HDMI ports, the Nano Pro Gen15 can support up to four simultaneous displays.

Epomaker Launches the EM3 Carbon-Fiber Composite Gaming Mouse

Built around the community's expectations for precise control, tactile quality, and convenient charging, the EM3 gaming mouse combines a lightweight body weighing about 56 g, a PAW3315 sensor, and up to a 1000 Hz polling rate with carbon-fiber-reinforced materials, flexible connectivity, and a magnetic charging dock. These elements bring gaming performance, refined feel, and everyday convenience into a single product.

The gaming mouse is powered by the PAW3315 sensor, supporting up to 16000 DPI for precise, consistent tracking. Polling rates of up to 1000 Hz are available in both wired and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, with four selectable levels available through the driver, giving the EM3 the responsiveness expected from a performance-focused gaming mouse. Further customization is available through the web-based Epomaker Hub and Epomaker Driver 3.0, where users can adjust functions including the Fire Key, button debounce, motion correction, and button response. For quick sensitivity changes, the physical DPI button also provides six DPI levels without the need to open the software.

ATK Reveals Affordable RS8 Air HE and Neo Mechanical Aluminium Gaming Keyboards

ATK, the brand behind several affordable high-performance gaming peripherals, has just announced the new RS8 series gaming keyboards in both mechanical and Hall effect flavors. The RS8 Air is a $99.98 Hall effect keyboard that will launch with a discount bringing the price down to $74.89, while the RS8 Neo is a more traditional mechanical keyboard that will have a starting MSRP of $84.98 but will launch at $59.98. Both keyboards have the same TKL layout, which is often considered as striking a good balance between productivity and gaming use cases, and both keyboards will also feature CNC-machined aluminium, gasket-mounted cases and translucent, frosted polycarbonate keycaps for the RGB backlighting to shine through.

Being a Hall effect keyboard, the RS8 Air will feature 8 kHz polling in addition to typical HE features, like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, SOCD, and DKS in addition to the classic key remapping and RGB customization. All of this will happen in ATK's Hub 3.0 software. It also has a hardware switch on the back of the keyboard for on-the-go profile switching without having to remember a keyboard combination or open the software. The RS8 Air will have an aluminium switch plate for a firm feel and accurate actuation detection, and it will have five layers of internal sound treatment to cut out reverberation and echoes that can be common in aluminium keyboards. The RS8 Air will be available in white or black with Lucid Blade or Ice Blade switches or in pink or Lake Green with Ice Blade switches for an extra $10.

GravaStar Introduces the Mercury Edge Series of Wireless Gaming Headsets

PS5 Linux Project Gets Support for PS5 Pro and Up To Firmware Version 13.60

Following the launch of the PS5 Linux project and the lead developer's subsequent exit from the PlayStation modding scene, it appears as though the project has continued to receive contributions. Recent updates to the PS5-linux-loader project add support for running Linux on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro models on firmware versions 5.00-13.60.

Since the former lead developer, Andy Nguyen, left the project, it has been taken over by seven developers who seem to be leaning on AI for development efforts, with Claude being listed as one of the contributors. Currently, the project includes: support for all USB ports, HDMI support at up to 4K 60 Hz, internal Bluetooth support, a custom GbE driver for Ethernet support, VAAPI hardware video decoding, encoding, and transcoding. Given the speed at which expanded firmware support has been added, it only seems like a matter of time before firmware version 14.10 gets support as well, since a Hypervisor exploit has already surfaced for that firmware version. This would theoretically make it possible to run GTA VI and boot Linux on the same PS5 Pro when the game eventually launches.

Linux Kernel 7.4 HID Support Includes Nintendo Switch 2 Controllers and Pulsar Gaming Mice

Valve has been a major contributor to the Linux gaming scene since it launched the Arch-based SteamOS alongside the Steam Deck, and the company's latest contribution to the Linux gaming ecosystem comes by way of a series of patches by Vicki Pfau, a developer working on hardware support on behalf of Valve Software. In the patch notes, Pfau notes that the preliminary driver supports "general input for the Joy-Con 2, Pro Controller 2, and GameCube NSO controllers," including Bluetooth for all controllers and USB mode for the Pro Controller. The Linux kernel version 7.4 is slated to land in a fully stable form in January 2027.

Crucially, the Nintendo Switch 2 controllers were already largely supported on Linux via Steam, but kernel support means the controller won't need to run via Steam Input and can work in other game launchers without Steam being open. In addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 controllers, Linux 7.4 should bring hardware enablement and several features for a host of other peripherals, both gaming and otherwise, including additional sensor support for new AMD SoCs, better trackpad handling on T2 Macs, a new HID driver for Pulsar gaming mice—with support for reading the battery level, voltage, and charging status over both wired and wireless connection modes. On the topic of mice, the Kysona M600V2 also gets an HID driver. There are also new fixes incoming for the ASUS ROG Ally power management, and support was improved for the Lenovo Legion Go S controllers and lighting.

Keychron Launches J3 SE QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard With Soft Pastel Color Palette

Deviating from its usual line-up of understated, almost professional keyboard designs that mostly feature matte black and white designs with small splashes of color, Keychron has just released the J3 SE wireless mechanical keyboard in more playful "Pink" and "Pink Blue" colorways. The J3 SE features an easy-to-use 96% layout that makes few compromises to cut down on desk space—even including a full-size zero key in the num pad. Keychron sells the J3 SE on its site for $129.99.

The Keychron J3 SE has an ABS case, in either pastel pink or blue, while the Blue Pink colorway has a mix of white, pink, and blue keycaps, and the Pink colorway features keycaps in white, light pink, and a deeper salmon pink color. Both the Pink and Blue Pink variants of the J3 SE have double-shot PBT keycaps in the MDA profile, and there is a sizeable knob in the top right corner of the keyboard, above the num pad. Another notable feature is the inclusion of north-facing RGB backlighting, which should make it significantly easier to find shine-through keycaps that work properly with the keyboard.

Epomaker Reveals Galaxy75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Aluminium Case and VIA Support

Epomaker has officially confirmed that it is planning to launch a 75% version of its popular Galaxy series mechanical keyboards, building on the Galaxy100, Galaxy100 Lite, Galaxy80, Galaxy70, and Galaxy68. Although pricing is yet to be confirmed, the keyboard was shown off in a recent Epomaker livestream, and there is already a product page for it on the Epomaker online store, denoting key specs and features. Speculation would put the Galaxy75 somewhere around the $80-100 price point, since the Galaxy68 and Galaxy70 are priced at $99.99 on Epomaker's website and Amazon. According to the site, the Galaxy75 will be available only with Epomaker's Creamy Jade linear switches.

Unlike the Galaxy70 and Galaxy68, the Galaxy75 follows a more traditional, no-frills 75% layout, replete with a key in the F13 position and a full four-key navigation column on the right edge of the keyboard. The construction is also fairly standard, with an aluminium chassis, polycarbonate switch plate, and five layers of sound-damping foam, all of which Epomaker says delivers a "dense thock" sound signature. The case is also gasket mounted, and the keyboard has two aesthetic touches in the sparkle in what appears to be an electrophoretic coating and in the keycap sets. The Galaxy75 will launch in three colors, each of which has a matching Cherry profile keycap set: the black keyboard comes with black and orange dye-sublimated keycaps with cityscape printing, and the lavender and pink versions come with a mix of dye-sublimated solid PBT keycaps with accent keycaps featuring opaque ABS under a clear PC layer with UV-printed legends.

8BitDo Launches Ultimate 3C+ Wireless Controller with Thumb Stick Tension Adjustment and Extra Buttons

8BitDo has officially launched the latest version of its Ultimate Wireless controller, the Ultimate 3C+, which is, for an intents and purposes, a more affordable version of the recently revealed special edition Ultimate 3 Wireless controllers. The Ultimate 3C comes in at a pre-order price of $39.99 on Amazon, and it will officially be launched for regular purchase on October 30. The controller itself is based on the same Xbox design as most of 8BitDo's Ultimate controllers—meaning it features the ABXY face buttons and offset thumb sticks—and it is compatible with both Android and Windows via 2.4 GHz, USB-C wired, and Bluetooth 5.4 LE connections, with the 2.4 GHz connection offering 1 kHz polling for reduced input latency.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 3C+ has a number of flagship-tier features, like TMR joysticks with adjustable tension, separate trigger vibration motors that sync with the controller rumble, lockable back paddles, additional L/R4 shoulder buttons, Hall effect triggers with both linear and non-linear control modes, and magnetic storage on the controller for the 2.4 GHz receiver. 8BitDo says that the 500 mAh battery in the Ultimate 3C controller is able to power the controller for up to 20 hours when using the 2.4 GHz connection, while Bluetooth stretches that to 32 hours.

TDM. Announces Neo, the World's First Headphones That Twist Into a Speaker

TDM., the innovative audio company that designs products to move with the rhythm of daily life, today announced Neo, the world's first high-fidelity headphones that transform into a portable speaker with a single twist. Already recognised as the most awarded headphones of CES 2026, Neo has been designed for people who move between solo and social listening throughout the day, enabling an immediate transition from private audio to shared sound without switching devices or carrying additional hardware. Neo is available now in black and white for £249.00, with a carrying case included. Customers can purchase Neo on the TDM. website (Ships Oct 16th), wider availability on Amazon and Walmart coming soon.

Neo has been engineered for moments when listening habits change quickly—from commuting with headphones to arriving at a gathering, or from taking a private call to joining a group conversation. Its patented twist mechanism is built directly into the headband, allowing the device to shift from headphone mode to speaker mode in one motion. The audio system uses four 40 mm drivers: two inward-facing drivers for balanced, detailed headphone playback, and two outward-facing drivers that deliver energetic, room-filling sound when used as a speaker. Five watts of power per side give Neo an output level that is notable for a device that fits in the palm of a hand.
