ATK Gear is known for its affordable gaming peripherals that still deliver a decent gaming experience. The latest to join that line-up of peripherals is the ATK Gear Ghost mouse, which is slated to launch on January 14, 2026. While at CES 2026, the TechPowerUp team visited the ATK Gear stand, where the new mouse was being exhibited. The Ghost units being shown off at CES 2026 came in four color variants, all of which had a metallic sheen to them, likely at least partially as a result of the forged carbon fiber.

The ATK Gear Ghost is a lightweight, wireless, carbon fiber gaming mouse that will supposedly weigh as little as 49 g and feature a fairly conventional symmetrical shape. Given the release date, it's safe to assume the units shown on the CES show floor were pretty much production units. In the photos the team managed to grab during the show, you can see the large white skates on the bottom of the Ghost. Exact specifications have not been officially released yet, but given the hardware in the most recent launches from the company, like the Dragonfly A9 Ultimate and the Blazing Sky Duckbill, it's safe to say we'll see some combination of a PAW 3950 sensor and a Nordic 54 series MCU. Despite the carbon fiber shell, which is often touted as being stronger and lighter than regular ABS, the Ghost still has holes both in the top and bottom of the mouse.

Acer revealed its Nitro Blaze 8 and 11 Windows gaming handhelds almost exactly a year ago, at CES 2025, but the 8- and 11-inch gaming handhelds have yet to materialize as purchasable products, nor have they shown up at CES 2026. According to recent reporting by Windows Central, Acer has put those gaming handheld ambitions on hold, with a representative from the company telling the publication that while the handhelds are still part of the launch roadmap for the US, "launch plans are TBD." The representative goes on to effectively blame the US tariff situation for the delayed launch, saying that Acer is "focused on our core products."

While the Acer Nitro Blaze family has not yet been cancelled, although the devices were slated to launch in Q2 2025, its continued delays could result in diminished success, especially if Acer doesn't upgrade the internals before launch. After all, while 16 GB of RAM is certainly still enough for many games, especially when running at lower resolutions and frame rates as is common on gaming handhelds, premium devices like the ASUS ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go 2, and the OneXPlayer OneXFly at the very high end, have already stepped up to 32 GB and beyond. The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS that would have originally powered the Acer Nitro Blaze devices will also soon start to show its age.

FL Esports, a gaming peripherals brand mostly known for making retro-inspired gaming keyboards, made an appearance at CES 2026 to show off a bunch of new gaming gear, both from the main FL Esports brand and its TNT sub-brand. At the show, FL Esports showed off a slew of new carbon fiber gaming peripherals, including a new mouse and several carbon fiber gaming keyboards. FL Esports also showed off two new gaming mouse designs at CES 2026, both featuring carbon fiber shells. Both mice featured symmetrical right-handed designs, and one mouse matched the orange and forged carbon fiber look of the T60 HE keyboard. The other mouse seems to have a regular injection molded plastic shell and a carbon fiber outer shell with a more conventional fiber layup aesthetic. Not much else is known about the new gaming mice, but you can check out photos below for a look at what's to come.

The three new TNT keyboards shown off at CES 2026, which have been previously teased but not yet launched, are the T60 HE, T68 HE, and the T87 HE—HE keyboards with 60%, 65%, and TKL layouts, respectively. According to the information presented on the showroom floor, the T60 HE, T68, and T87 HE are all tray mount keyboards, although they ship with silicone and Poron foam sound deadening material, and they are made from injection-molded, carbon fiber-impregnated plastic. The exact resin is unclear, but the combination results in a smoky translucent look with the carbon fiber striations typical of forged carbon fiber. The keycaps on both keyboards are also translucent, but the T87 HE's keycaps are similar to the typical translucent smoky set seen on keyboards like the Iqunix EZ80 Dark Side RS or the QwertyKeys Sonic65 HE. The smaller T60 HE and T68 HE, on the other hand, have the same carbon fiber look on the keycaps as it has on the chassis. All of the new carbon fiber HE keyboards boast 8 kHz polling with a 0.1 ms input delay, as well as 0.005 mm Rapid Trigger sensitivity and 0.005-3.4 mm key travel with adjustable actuation.

At CES 2026, the Alphacool booth was brimming with a wide array of water cooling products. Among their staple offerings was the Core GPU AIO, part of Alphacool's Core series, providing a comprehensive cooling solution for various GPU models, including those from AMD and NVIDIA. This system is built around the Core GPU cold plate and features two Core DC-LT 2 pumps. A 360 mm radiator is included, enabling significant overclocking potential even for high-performance cards like the RTX 5090. It is planned for Q2 release of ths year. In addition to this, Alphacool showcased single-slot water blocks for NVIDIA's RTX 6000 Pro "Blackwell" GPU. These are available with either a transparent acrylic finish or a sleek opaque design. The single-slot configuration allows for multiple GPUs to be stacked together in a custom loop, making them ideal for dense AI workstation deployments.

Ace Computers, a U.S.-based PC builder, unveiled its expanded gaming PC lineup under the Ace Gaming brand at CES 2026. Featured at the booth was the "Firestorm" PC family, available in various shapes and sizes. The most compact model, the Ignite ITX, fits an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD into a small-form-factor case. It also includes an NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU and a 750 W power supply, for decent gaming. The Spark-A model uses a standard ATX tower while maintaining the same CPU, RAM, and storage as the Ignite ITX, but upgrades the power supply to 850 W for better future expansion.

The bigger Blaze-A is designed for more demanding users, featuring a Ryzen 7 9700X processor and doubling both the memory and storage to 32 GB and 2 TB. At the top of the lineup, the Inferno-A flagship combines a Ryzen 7 9800X3D chip with an RTX 5080 graphics card, making it the most powerful option in the series for 4K gaming and intensive creative work. All four models run Windows 11 Pro.

MSI, in collaboration with NVIDIA, introduces the MPG 272QRF X36 G-SYNC Pulsar gaming monitor. This 27-inch Rapid IPS display features WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and a 360 Hz refresh rate. Designed for professional esports, it delivers the smoothest gameplay and sharpest visuals for competitive gamers seeking an edge.

G-SYNC Pulsar
The MPG 272QRF X36 features NVIDIA G-SYNC, the ultimate suite of display technologies for GeForce gamers. At its core is G-SYNC Pulsar, which utilizes variable frequency backlight strobing to deliver 4x effective motion clarity alongside the smooth, tear-free experience of G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate.

ASUS has decided to enter the deep end of audiophile gear by creating the ROG Kithara, a gaming headset with planar magnetic drivers from HIFIMAN. TPU has tested over 30 products by HIFIMAN and many of them have walked away with awards, so it will be interesting to see what they can do in collaboration with ASUS. The ROG Kithara comes with two sets of cables, one that has a built in MEMS based boom microphone and one that is a balanced cable that can be used with a 4.4 mm balanced connector, or regular 3.5 or 6.3 mm jack plugs. The Kithara also comes with a USB Type-C adapter, but it's not clear if this has a built-in DAC or not.

There are no gimmicks to be found here, no RGB lighting, no wireless connectivity. The ROG Kithara has an open-back design and ASUS claims that the 100 mm planar magnetic drivers deliver an 8 Hz to 55 kHz frequency response range. So far, ASUS hasn't provided any more detailed specs, beyond the 16 ohm impedance, but based on the information available, it seems like the Kithara is based on one of HIFIMAN's simpler planar magnetic drivers. The MEMS microphone is said to have a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response with a 74dB SNR and a total harmonic distortion of less than 0.1 percent. ASUS supplies two pairs of ear cushions in a choice of either velour or leatherette with mesh fabric on the sides. As for pricing, the ROG Kithara is said to have an MSRP of US$359.

Corsair showcased its newest GALLEON 100 SD Gaming Keyboard with built-in Stream Deck controller at the CES 2026 show, which seamlessly fuses Corsair's keyboard technology with Elgato's Stream Deck display controller, all in a single device. What makes the GALLEON 100 SD special is that it is not just a gaming keyboard with a screen and some buttons but rather comes with a full Stream Deck with all the capability, incorporated neatly into a keyboard. This means you get twelve LCD keys, two dials, and a 5-inch full-color screen. While it will certainly appeal to gamers, who get easier access to actions, spells, inventory, complex macros, or pretty much anything you can think of, it also allows users to launch apps and even professionals to integrate quick access to software tools, options, and more. There are already plenty of profiles on Elgato Marketplace that can be used from the start, including those for monitoring system performance.

When it comes to the actual keyboard, the Corsair GALLEON 100 SD uses an aluminium frame with gasket mounting and six layers of internal sound dampening, which should make it both sturdy and refined at the same time. It also comes with an integrated RGB mood bar and cushioned palm rest. It uses pre-lubed MLX Pulse mechanical switches, which are linear mechanical switches said to have 45 g actuation force, 2.0 mm actuation point, and 3.6 mm of total travel, with Corsair's own AXON hyper-polling rates of up to 8,000 Hz and FlashTap OSCD handling.

Adata has shown off the latest series of CPU coolers boasting LCDs and other fancy visual effects. The new Infinity, Levante, and Maestro CPU coolers offer something for just about anyone looking to spice up their PC build with a flashy CPU cooler, whether that be an air cooler or a liquid cooler. The most unique cooler of the lot is the Levante View Pro 360, which is an AIO CPU liquid cooler with a 6.7-inch waterfall LCD that covers both the top and side of the CPU water block. The display contents are customizable in the XPG Prime software. That water block is attached to a 360 mm radiator with pre-installed 120 mm ARGB fluid dynamic bearing fans. Adata claims that the new liquid cooler has a cooling capacity of up to 340 W TDP and that it supports up to Intel LGA 1851 and AMD AM5 CPUs.

Corsair, a leading maker of performance gaming peripherals, today unveiled the GALLEON 100 SD at CES. A full-sized mechanical keyboard with Stream Deck integration, Galleon fuses Corsair and Elgato engineering into one groundbreaking device. A frequent community request, this fusion enables gamers to stay in the game while expanding their gaming capabilities with robust software solutions and transformative, custom game profiles.

The GALLEON 100 SD marks a new era of input that our community has been clamoring for," said Tobias Brinkmann, Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals at Corsair. "This isn't just a better keyboard. It's a solution to the reality of modern gaming, where managing apps, info, and devices is just as critical as performance. This level of control has never existed in a single device before, and only Corsair could bring the future of input to market now.

This year at CES, HP unveiled its new HyperX OMEN MAX 16 gaming laptop and HyperX OMEN OLED 34 gaming monitor, alongside the HyperX Clutch Tachi arcade controller. The HyperX OMEN MAX 16 comes with either an Intel Core Ultra 200HX series processor or a next-gen AMD Ryzen AI processor and is available with a range of graphics options that tops out with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. HP mentions that the HyperX OMEN MAX 16 packs 300 W of total platform power, which apparently is 20 percent higher than its predecessor and it sounds like this will be one loud and hot laptop. That said, HP claims that its OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro system with three fans and fan cleaner technology will keep it cool. Other new additions include a new keyboard with four times faster polling rate, again compared to previous products from HP, a 16-inch, 240 Hz WQXGA 500 nits OLED display and of course OMEN AI that is meant to offer one click optimisation for each and every game you own.

The HyperX OMEN OLED 34 is using one of the new V-Stripe QD-OLED panels and offers a 21:9 aspect ratio with a WQHD resolution and a 360 Hz refresh rate. HP has also included 100 W USB PD charging and built in KVM functionality. There's also the option to add a 3D-printable headphone hook and HP offers a three year HyperX OLED CoreProtect limited burn in warranty. The HyperX Clutch Tachi is HP's first arcade controller that is Xbox compatible and it features magnetic switches with TMR sensors. Here it's also possible to 3D print various additions to the top plate of the controller and HP's NGENUITY software allows for custom button mapping, rapid triggers and actuation adjustments. No pricing was mentioned for either of the products, which will launch sometime this spring.

Audeze has launched its Maxwell 2 Wireless Gaming Headset at CES 2026 and the new model appears to have been given refinements all around. The Maxwell 2 retains the 90 mm planar magnetic drivers, but everything from the headband to the earcups have been upgraded. Starting with the earcups, they're now attached magnetically, making them easier to remove and they've also been given clearer markings inside and a slight redesign. The headband appears to be slightly wider and it now has perforations to keep your head cooler and the attachment points have been refined. The power button appears to have been moved to the side of the left earcup, rather than sitting in the centre of one of the earcups, next to what appears to be a Bluetooth/proprietary dongle switch.The rest of the controls appear to have been kept, but with refined labelling and the Maxwell 2 still features a trusty old 3.5 mm jack and a USB Type-C port for charging and audio.

The weight has sadly gone up by 70 grams, which isn't entirely insignificant for long gaming sessions, yet the battery remains at the same 1800 mAh rating and still offers 80 hours of wireless usage. This also means that the charging times remain the same, i.e. two hours for a full charge. A new addition on the Bluetooth codec side appears to be Auracast, which might not be super useful when gaming, but could be handy when watching TV. LC3, LC3plus, LDAC, AAC and SBC are still supported, as is multipoint support. The microphone also appears to remain the same as the one that shipped with the original Maxwell headset, with a sprinkle of AI noise removal. Audeze has also launched a new app to go with Maxwell 2 and will be offering "skins" to customise the headphones with. Unfortunately the price has also gone up, albeit by just US$20-30 depending on the SKU, which means that the PlayStation version starts at US$329 and the Xbox version is coming in at US$349 and is available to order now.

Logitech's popular "egg-shaped" gaming mouse has marched into the modern age. As reported last month, only a smattering of "inspired by G304/G305" alternatives offered truly up-to-date specifications—in terms of internal components and feature sets. After a (roughly) seven year-long wait, Logitech has updated their classic budget-friendly design. Late last year, members of the MouseReview subreddit picked up on pleasing developments in China. In December, the brand-new G304 X Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse model turned up on Logitech's Chinese webstore, minus pricing details. Currently, the modernized model is not available globally. According to official spec sheets and early adopter teardowns, the 57 gram G304 X Lightspeed appears to be a more low-to-mid-range prospect.

Logitech's HERO 25K sensor is not exactly cutting-edge, but its latest deployment leads to a significant upgrade over the past-gen model's HERO 12K unit. HERO 25K offers a maximum 25,600 DPI setting, up to 40G of acceleration, a max. 400 IPS tracking speed. One video dissection shows Logitech's selection of the common Nordic nRF52833 MCU, Omron D2FC-F-7N (10 million click-rated) mechanical switches, a Kailh 10 mm black encoder, and a 290 mAh internal lithium battery. The latter aspect will be welcomed by gaming mouse enthusiasts, since the predecessor relied on AA batteries (or AAA via user modification). The manufacturer claims that the G304 X Lightspeed can operate for "about 106 hours" on a single charge. It is not clear whether the up-to-date design comes with any Bluetooth connectivity, but Logitech's addition of a wired mode is a pleasing new feature. One Chinese vlogger believes that the G304 X Lightspeed model will launch with a sub-$50 price point; positioning it just above MCHOSE's G3 wallet-friendly line.
