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.

For competitive gamers who demand speed and responsiveness, every gram counts. With high-quality features designed for effortless movement, easy connectivity, and long-lasting gaming sessions, this is the gaming mouse built for players who want it all.

Weighing just 67 g, the Volyx's standout feature is without a doubt its ultra-lightweight design. Allowing for swift, responsive movement, it enables gamers to take full advantage of speed without compromising on performance. Coupled with a stylish cut-out housing, this PC gaming mouse adds a unique aesthetic touch to any setup.

Fourteen of the 16 WOLED TVs in RTINGS' 18,000-hour accelerated longevity test developed what the outlet calls "edge rot," meaning dead pixels and other damage creeping in along the panel edges. All of these sets use LG Display panels and were released between 2020 and 2023, and the test works out to roughly ten years of typical U.S. viewing. Older WBC panels fared worst, with nine of ten affected and five rated severe, while five of six newer WBE panels also showed it. Only the LG A2 and LG G3 came out clean. Meanwhile, the three QD-OLED TVs in the test, Samsung's S95B and S95C and Sony's A95K, didn't have a single dead pixel. However, RTINGS says three units are too few to call QD-OLED immune.

Unlike burn-in, edge rot doesn't depend on what you watch, so the usual advice of mixing up content won't help. RTINGS suspects contamination during manufacturing or flaws in the encapsulation layer that keeps moisture out, though confirming that would need proper failure analysis. Two staffers also found it on their own LG GX and C1 at home. In a statement to RTINGS, LG said the issue may appear in a very small number of products under prolonged heat, humidity or other harsh conditions, and isn't expected in normal use, which is interesting given that LG Display once argued QD-OLED was more prone to burn-in. RTINGS now rates WOLEDs slightly lower for expected reliability, including newer models as a precaution, though it still considers OLEDs more durable than LCDs. Its next planned test includes 2025 and 2026 models, some with LG's RGB Tandem panels, which should show if it's been fixed.

ATK has officially launched the updated version of its RS6 Hall effect gaming keyboard, introducing a number of aesthetics and quality of life updates over the keyboard's first iteration. The RS6 V2 is already available on ATK's website for $109.98 as part of an introductory offer, but it has an official MSRP of $139.98. The RS6 V2 follows a familiar 65% layout seen previously on the RS6, but it swaps out the tray-mount design of the original for a new gasket-mounted design. Additionally, the RS6 V2 is also only available in three colorways, for now: a pinkish Burgundy Red, the neutral Meteorite Gray, and Moonlight Silver.

One of the other major updates, and a feature that is still relatively rare, even in aesthetics-focused gaming keyboards, is the addition of dual-position per-key RGB backlighting, which allows for proper use of keycaps with both regular top shine-through legends and the more niche side-printed shine-through legends. The RS6 V2 ships by default with double-shot PBT keycaps with translucent sides and fully translucent keys on some accent keys, so this RGB lighting setup should play well with the keyboard's default keycaps.

HATOR Gaming B.V. a pioneering gaming brand proudly born in Ukraine, announced today that its entry into the UK continues, with the launch of the HATOR Pulsar 4 Wireless Gaming Mouse, shipping online via hator.com. Recently announcing its entry into the UK market with the astonishing Skyfall Magnetic Keyboard range, smart gamers seeking premium precision without the premium pricing can now purchase the ideal companion to the keyboard via the Pulsar 4 Wireless.

The Pulsar 4 Wireless continues HATOR's proud tradition of 'no-compromise' quality and engineering, designing its best-in-class gaming hardware in-house, and working with the gaming community to deliver the essentials gamers crave, without the exorbitant price often found with high-end gaming brands.

High-performance gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK is set to introduce the X60 Gaming Headset, its latest premium audio offering built to meet the demands of competitive gamers and multi-device users. The headset combines advanced acoustic engineering, ergonomic comfort, low-latency wireless performance, and an RGB-enabled charging dock with integrated hub functionality. It is a complete desktop audio solution built for FPS gaming, entertainment, and extended daily use.

Built for Competitive Audio Performance
The X60 features a 53 mm dynamic driver with a PEN nano-polymer diaphragm, a material widely used in professional audio equipment for its ability to reduce distortion and improve clarity. Combined with a large independent acoustic chamber and airflow-balancing technology, the design delivers precise sound reproduction with clear layering and accurate positional cues, helping players react faster in competitive gameplay. Premium Audio Quality—Experience rich, immersive sound with crisp footsteps, detailed in-game effects, and enhanced audio depth.

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.

Precision Tracking and Customization
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.

Not too long ago, the developers behind OpenMouse, the open-source, community-driven alternative mouse configuration suite, revealed that they were working on supporting keyboard customization alongside the myriad gaming mouse models the suite now supports. As per a recent announcement on the project's Discord server, the latest OpenMouse beta release has added support for a number of gaming keyboards from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and Wooting. Initial support also appears to be in development for Wuque Studio and the Kochi Hummingbird 68.

So far, actual feature support also appears to be limited, and the implementation is very much still in beta, with the app connecting correctly to a Wooting 80HE in a brief test but failing to load the proper keymap and failing to adjust the settings correctly. However, the planned feature set appears to be competitive with most proprietary keyboard customization tools, with HE features like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, toggle key, mod tap, SOCD, and DKS, all present in addition to robust RGB customization and support for layers and profiles. What is notably absent is the ability to remap keys, however.

GravaStar, the design-driven gaming hardware brand known for its sci-fi aesthetic, today announced the Mercury Edge Series. Led by Mercury Edge Pro, the lineup pairs GravaStar's distinctive design language with 53 mm dynamic drivers and spatial gaming audio. Mercury Edge adds versatile wireless connectivity and extended battery life, while Mercury Edge Lite offers a direct, battery-free USB-C experience.

Sculpted Design with a Distinct Gaming Identity

Corsair, a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-performance gear and technology for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, announced today that a fresh cache of Raider-grade gear has surfaced with the Corsair x ARC Raiders collection. Created in a multi-year partnership with Embark Studios, the collection marks the first anniversary of ARC Raiders, the breakout extraction adventure named Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2025, with a limited run of officially licensed controllers, gaming peripherals, and streaming gear across Corsair, SCUF, and Elgato. Every piece wears the game's signature four-stripe colorway, and every purchase unlocks exclusive in-game items to carry back into the field.

"ARC Raiders pulled players into a world where every trip topside is a gamble and every extraction is earned," said Tobias Brinkmann, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals at Corsair. "That spirit runs through this collection. Working with Embark Studios, we brought together the best of Corsair, SCUF, and Elgato, so Raiders have gear that performs under pressure and looks like it was scavenged from the Rust Belt. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the game's first year than by giving its community something built for the next one."

Keychron's exotic keyboard material has led it to wood, resin, ceramic, and even concrete gaming keyboards, but its latest stab at something unique is ironically rather tame, with the brand announcing the Carbon 60 HE 8K, a new 60% gaming keyboard built on the same architecture and basic tray-mounted design as the ceramic Q16 HE 8K, but this time with a forged carbon fiber case and even keycaps. The Keychron Carbon 60 HE 8K is officially available for purchase on Keychron's online store for $234.99.

Unlike a lot of other carbon keyboards, the Carbon 60 HE 8K actually has carbon fiber composite keycaps and a carbon fiber composite plate to match the carbon fiber case. It follows a fairly standard 60% layout, which means no num pad, no function row, no arrow keys, and no navigation cluster—although all of those functions are available in layers or can be added in Keychron Launcher. Keychron says that the carbon fiber construction is 10× more rigid than plastic, owing to its 60% carbon fiber content, and that the keyboard offers a precise, solid typing feel. Carbon fiber plates are known in the custom keyboard realm to provide a sharp, clacky typing signature, with little bounce or cushioning to speak of. The Carbon 60 HE 8K weighs in at 740 g, compared to the slightly larger, aluminium Q2 HE 8K that weighs in at 1,650 g, making the Carbon 60 HE 8K a solid candidate for a mobile gaming setup.

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Kraken Kitty V3, a wired RGB headset designed for streamers looking to showcase their style and engage with their community.

Classic ROG styling
Designed to be a must-have gaming accessory for any ROG XBOX Ally gaming handheld, the Bulwark Dock sports the classic ROG aesthetic and includes an ergonomic stand that ensures unimpeded airflow for the handheld when docked. A fixed 60 cm USB-C cable with a 90° connector provides a clean single-cable connection to the handheld for a clutter-free setup. Built-in 6-in-1 connectivity turns the ROG XBOX Ally into the heart of a full desktop or gaming console, boasting up to 80-watt power delivery (when using a 100-watt charger) via USB-C, HDMI 2.1, 1 Gb Ethernet port for wired networking, and three USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for a mouse, keyboard, or controller. Four selectable RGB lighting modes enable gamers to create a unified gaming setup and set the mood for different games.

ATK has officially announced its latest collaboration: Pikachu-flavored versions of its Blazing Sky F1 V3 lightweight wireless gaming mouse and its RS7 Air Hall effect gaming keyboard. Both products have already been announced in China, but the official launch date is October 20, and an international launch appears to be a way out. The collaboration is an official deal with Game Freak and Nintendo, and the F1 V3 Pikachu Edition is listed as having a launch price of CNY 369 ($55 converted), with a regular MSRP of CNY 419 ($63 converted). The RS7 Air Pikachu edition will launch at CNY 399 ($60 converted), with an official MSRP of CNY 449 ($67 converted).

The ATK F1 V3 uses the same small-medium claw and palm grip-optimized shape as the F1 V3 Ultimate+, meaning it measures in at 118.2 × 62.4 × 38.8 mm, but it weighs in at 41 g ±3 g, which is 10% heavier than the Ultimate+, and it has the same PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor and Nordic 54LM20 MCU as the original mouse. ATK claims that those internals afford the mouse a click latency of just 0.174 ms, and ATK claims a wireless battery life of 300 hours at 1 kHz polling, despite the relatively small 300 mAh battery. The F1 V3 can connect to the PC via both USB Type-C and via 2.4 GHz with up to 8 kHz polling over both connections. The clicks use ATK's custom optical switches, while the scroll wheel uses a TTC Gold encoder.

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.

Intel has been granted a US patent for a chip package with tiny LEDs built into it, according to a TrendForce report. Titled "IC Package with Micro LEDs" (patent 12,733,303), it describes a semiconductor die with a micro LED attached, embedded at least partially into a glass substrate. Through-glass vias (TGVs) supply power to the LED and connect to the package substrate. The LEDs can apparently use nanowire structures to emit red, green, and blue light. The patent lists a few uses, including illuminated lettering on the CPU surface, personalization for DIY electronics (think RGB lighting), and indicators for electrical testing inside the package. The patent was filed in 2022 but has now been disclosed by Intel.

Of course, most CPUs sit under a heatsink, so it's hard to think of a scenario where glowing letters on a CPU package would make sense. The optical angle is more interesting. It looks like the patent doesn't describe a working optical link, but AU Optronics is developing a Micro LED co-packaged optics module for links of up to 10 meters in AI data centers, and there are rumors of Intel and AUO collaborating. We don't know if anything has been agreed yet. Intel reportedly stepped back from in-house glass substrate R&D last year, then moved to license the tech to others, and in January it showed a glass core substrate with EMIB at NEPCON Japan. Companies file patents all the time, and most never become products, so I wouldn't expect RGB CPUs anytime soon.

Today, Turtle Beach unveils the Vulcan II XP Air, a premium full-size wireless mechanical gaming keyboard built on the award-winning low-profile Vulcan design.

Alphacool International GmbH, based in Braunschweig, Germany, is a pioneer in the field of PC water-cooling technology. With one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry and more than 20 years of experience, Alphacool is expanding its Apex lineup with two new Distro Plates for the Hyte Y70 and Y70 Touch Infinite. The Distro Plates have been developed specifically for the Y70 series and replace the front cover of the case. This makes the water-cooling loop not only a functional part of the system, but also a key visual element of the build. Available in black and white, both versions are matched to the corresponding case colors and blend naturally into the design of the Y70.

As part of the Apex product line, the Distro Plates combine premium materials with an exceptional design. Made from high-grade acrylic glass, they offer a clear view of the water-cooling loop, while integrated aRGB lighting adds subtle accents to the system. The chrome-plated G1/4" brass fittings are not screwed directly into the acrylic. Instead, the two-piece fittings use an O-ring and interlock during installation. This construction reduces stress on the acrylic and helps prevent leaks caused by cracks around the fittings.

HP has released the GT06, a full-size mechanical keyboard that offers an 8,000 Hz polling rate with wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity. In a landscape dominated by compact layouts, the full-size GT06 keyboard is a rare apparition aimed at gamers and general desktop use. The GT06 keyboard features a 106-key layout, a gasket-mounted structure, and seven layers of internal padding. It is available with Kailh, Seiya, or Feather switches and uses double-shot PBT keycaps with RGB backlighting and 16 lighting effects. The keyboard supports Music Rhythm Lighting Effect 3.0, while a multifunction knob placed on the right side provides volume adjustment and one-click mute.

A large 12,000 mAh battery rated for up to 30 days of use powers the keyboard, however, HP does not specify the conditions to reach 30 days of usage, probably without RGB lighting. Two-stage adjustable feet allow users to change the typing angle. User can configure the keyboard through a web-based software or a dedicated client driver. The HP GT06 is currently available in China through JD.com for 310 yuan or around $43. International availability or pricing has not been announced.
