Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition, its flagship controller officially licensed for the PlayStation 5 console, built for players who want the highest level of performance and craftsmanship that has defined Razer engineering.

Introduced in 2016, the Raiju controller line has been refined over the past decade evolving into Razer's most advanced PlayStation controller ever. The Razer Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition distills that decade of experience into a single form, balancing design, weight, and performance for players on the PlayStation 5 console who refuse to compromise.

2026 has been a bit of a watershed moment for computer mice, especially in the gaming space, with features like rapid trigger, adjustable actuation, and haptic feedback making it into mice like the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike (read TechPowerUp's in-depth review here) and X3 Superstrike, but Arctic Fox has taken a different approach to innovation and mouse features with the somewhat perplexing Super Mouse. The Super Mouse is a productivity mouse aimed more at office workers and multitaskers than gamers—to the point that the brand hasn't even disclosed what sensor the mouse is using nor its sensitivity specs.

The Super Mouse's claim to fame is its 3.1-inch, 720p touchscreen on the top, which Arctic Fox has loaded with a bunch of productivity functions, including customizable shortcuts to launch applications on Windows or macOS, a full virtual keyboard, multistep macros and routines, trackpad and gesture functionality, and productivity tracking. The Super Mouse even has built-in voice input for speech-to-text input, and it has full Google Calendar integration via OAuth 2.0, which the brand claims keeps your data private alongside user-defined permissions control, encrypted calendar data, and local calendar data storage. There is also claimed built-in gyro control for 3D navigation.

GXTrust, a well-established European brand in gaming accessories, and THX Ltd., a world-class high-fidelity audio and video tuning, certification, and technology company, today announced a strategic partnership to elevate gaming audio across GXTrust product offerings. Representing a shared commitment to providing premium sound quality, immersion, and performance to gamers, this collaboration marks an advance in audio immersion for gaming fans across Europe and beyond.

High-quality audio has become a priority in modern gaming - from competitive gameplay where clear communication and directional cues are key, to immersive titles that demand rich, detailed soundscapes to transport players to brand-new worlds. This GXTrust x THX partnership comes at this critical time in the market to deliver consumer electronics products that deliver audio with a wide soundstage with emotional realism and cinematic sound.

8BitDo has just officially launched the Arcade Controller Pro as its latest stab at an arcade controller. The Arcade Controller Pro uses a similar layout to the existing Arcade Controller, but it features smaller buttons and tighter button groupings for faster inputs and switching. The Arcade Controller Pro is currently available for pre-order from 8BitDo on Amazon for $119.99, and it is available in white and a bolder black and red color scheme. The official release is slated for November 30, 2026, which is when pre-order shipments will also start.

The tempered glass faceplate on the Arcade Controller Pro houses 17 buttons, aside from the input control toggles and extra shortcut buttons along the top edge. The P1-P5 buttons scattered throughout the Arcade Controller Pro are remappable on-the-fly, thanks to a built-in display running 8BitDo's Ultimate Software right on the controller's MCU. The Arcade Controller Pro also comes with an included magnetic wrist-rest that houses lock caps to cover the P1-P5 buttons to prevent accidental presses, and the quick-release glass faceplate hides a keycap and switch removal tool and three additional switches, in case of emergency.

Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, today announced the Innodisk GMSL2 Camera Starter Kit, an all-in-one vision solution that bundles four 3MP GMSL2 camera modules, a capture card, FAKRA cables, and other necessary accessories.

A milestone in Innodisk's edge AI vision strategy, the kit lets customers set up a multi-camera system and begin validation right out of the box, shortening the path from proof of concept (PoC) to deployment. Full camera source code is included, giving customers flexibility throughout development and maintenance.

As AI vision moves toward multi-camera perception in robotics and intelligent vehicles, integrating cameras, capture cards, drivers, and host platforms has become increasingly complex, often taking six months or more before validation. The starter kit's pre-integrated hardware and software driver enable system integrators to speed up time-to-market.

Super Flower has launched the VGA 12+4PIN OCP Dongle, a small inline box that sits between the PSU cable and a graphics card's 12V-2x6 connector and keeps an eye on the current running through each 12 V line. It was first shown at Computex 2026, and can now be seen on Super Flower's website, priced at NT$1,190 (roughly $38) in Taiwan. However, you can't buy it on its own just yet. For now, it's only offered as part of a limited promotional bundle with Leadex VIII power supplies, and there's no word on standalone sales or a wider release.

As for the protection part, each alert needs to hold for 10 seconds before it fires. Between 9.5 A and 12 A on any line, or if two lines drift more than 6 A apart, the LED turns orange and the buzzer starts beeping. Past 12 A, it flashes red with a continuous tone for 180 seconds, stays solid red for another 15, and then triggers "VGA Black Screen Protection." That mode stays active even if the current settles. Super Flower doesn't say how the black screen works or whether power is cut, and simply advises shutting down and checking the cables. That part can be a bit unreliable, but it's safe to assume that most users will suspect something is wrong if the screen blacks out for a significant bit of time.

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.

Valve's Steam store listing for the Valve Index now states that the headset is no longer being produced, with remaining headsets, controllers, and accessories up for sale while supplies last. On the US store, the Index headset is down 20% to $399.20 from its usual $499, and the Replacement Left Controller and Replacement Tether are 20% off as well. Valve says nothing changes for existing owners, and the Index will continue to be supported through Steam and SteamVR. The headset launched back in June 2019, when the full kit went for $999 on preorder. Its successor, the Steam Frame, opened for preorders on September 14 at $1,059 for the 256 GB model and $1,299 for the 1 TB version.

This isn't a sudden decision. Valve's Lawrence Yang already confirmed to The Verge in November 2025 that the company had stopped manufacturing the Index, around the same time Valve announced the Steam Frame. The store page update seems to be the formal send-off for the Index. However, the Steam Frame is currently available only through a reservation lottery system. It also uses camera-based inside-out tracking and doesn't support the Lighthouse base stations the Index relies on, so Index owners can't carry their base stations over to the new headset. Anyone still interested in a Lighthouse-tracked Valve headset, at a lower price than the Frame, should probably act soon, since there is no word on how much stock is left.

Apple has officially announced HomeView, its long-rumored smart home hub, priced at $299 in the US. It comes in two versions, a tabletop model and a wall-mounted one, both built around a 7-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone that ranges from 500 nits down to just 0.3 nits. The tabletop model sits on a domed speaker base with a down-firing woofer, attached through a tilting stainless steel hinge. Inside, there's an A18 chip with Secure Exclaves, which Apple says keeps camera and microphone data separate from the rest of the system.

HomeView leans heavily on Apple's new Siri AI, which is still in beta on the device. Personal context features need a paired Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone or iPad, and some server-side features come with daily limits, with paid expanded access planned for later. The hub also recognizes up to six people by face, each with their own Home Screen. Smart home control covers Matter accessories as well as Apple's new Home Collection, designed with LG and Schneider Electric and arriving in December.

Apple today announced HomePod mini 2, featuring Siri AI, gorgeous new colors, and enhanced audio experiences. Siri AI, coming to HomePod mini 2 in a future software update, is a profoundly more capable and conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge that powers tasks like richer music discovery, and the ability to tap into even more apps—bringing a whole new level of capability to HomePod mini.

Users can enjoy room-filling audio with a single speaker, in a stereo pair, or using multiroom audio. When paired with the new Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini 2 supports four-speaker surround sound—Apple's most immersive home theater setup yet. And HomePod mini makes it easy for different users to manage the connected home with just a voice command, securely controlling accessories and running automations.

Valve has finally released the CAD files for its Steam Frame VR headset and VR controllers, officially allowing modders and creators to create and publish their own Steam Frame accessories—as long as they're published under the correct Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 4.0 International license. The CAD files are published on GitLab, and they include both 3D models and technical drawings and documentation for reference when designing accessories.

The CAD files also include documentation on the electronics of the Steam Frame, including an example project documenting a USB 3.0 expansion port that could be adapted for other electronics projects. While Valve hasn't granted a sweeping explicit license to create commercial projects for the Steam Frame, it notes on the Frame's GitLab repo that "if you wish to pursue a commercial license please reach out to us at steamframecompatible at valvesoftware com," ostensibly opening the door for licensing partnerships.

NACON, a leading video game publisher and designer of premium gaming accessories, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Revolution 5 Unlimited (R5U), its new premium controller that is officially licensed for PS5 consoles. Building on the success of its Revolution range among competitive and professional players since 2016, the brand is reaching a new technological milestone today by unveiling its most advanced accessory yet for PlayStation 5 consoles and PC.

The Revolution 5 Unlimited is the culmination of years of research and continuous feedback from the esports community and the most demanding competitive players. This new high-end asymmetric controller, officially licensed for PlayStation 5 consoles, includes major hardware innovations.

It seems as though NuPhy is following in the footsteps of Keychron with its latest launch, which is a new GitHub repository, called NuPhyLab, that will host a collection of 3D models and engineering documentation for some of the brand's keyboard accessories and mods. NuPhy is starting small, initially publishing a batch of wrist wrests for its Air HE series, Field75, Gem80, Halo series, Kick75, Node Series, Nos75, and WH80 keyboards, as well as accessories for the Kick75 and Node series keyboards. Node75 accessories include several display stands, a charging stand, decorative accessories, pen holders, storage boxes, a themed keycap display base. For the Kick75, there are high- and low-profile knobs, a magnetic cover, a phone stand, keyboard trim pieces, and the keyboard's switch plate.

We wanted to create a place where we can share more resources with the community and give you guys more room to build, mod, and experiment with NuPhy stuff.

We'll be uploading official 3D model files and six-view drawings for our wrist rests, so if you're into 3D printing or modding, feel free to download them, print them, or modify them for your own projects.

Razer is continuing its Sanrio partnership with a new Hello Kitty and Friends blind box keycap series, following the Hello Kitty Rose Gold Kraken Kitty V2 headset launched earlier this spring. The series includes five standard designs: Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, My Melody, and Kuromi, plus a chrome-plated secret edition. Each keycap is a multipart PVC figurine with pad-printed details and a semi-gloss finish, sized between 19-44 mm in length, 21-29 mm in width, and 24-34 mm in height, weighing 6.8-10.8 g depending on the character. All use an MX cross-stem mount for extended mechanical keyboard compatibility.

Each sealed box contains one randomly selected character. The full set of six boxes guarantees all five standard designs with one repeated, but the chrome secret edition isn't guaranteed, it appears in roughly one out of every four sets, replacing the duplicate. Worth noting that Razer recently also released its first artisan keycap separately, the Triple-Headed Snake Edition expanding even more into the keycap space. The Hello Kitty and Friends full six-box set is priced at $119.94. Individual boxes are also available.

Redragon, known for creating affordable gaming peripherals, has just announced the Impactsphere GS818 desktop speakers as its latest desktop accessory. The 60 W desktop speakers offer a different aesthetic to the usual Redragon gamer affair, with bamboo wood front panels and a fabric finish on the speaker housings themselves. The top of the right speaker has built-in volume and power buttons to make controlling the speaker easier, especially when using the wireless connection.

The Impactsphere speakers each feature a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a 3-inch aluminium cone mid-low driver, and each speaker is rated to a claimed 30 W with a frequency response of 45 Hz-20 kHz. The GS818 offers both Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity as well as 3.5 mm audio in and USB type-C that goes through a built-in sound card. There is also an audio output available for connecting to a subwoofer.

Fanatec today announced the ClubSport F1 Racing System, a new officially licensed Formula 1 direct drive wheel designed for PlayStation 5 consoles, PlayStation 4 consoles, and PC. The product will make its public debut at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where attendees will have the opportunity to try it ahead of its planned release.

The new ClubSport F1 Racing System succeeds the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1, extensively used by professional sim racers for training. The new system retains the ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base and introduces the exclusive ClubSport F1 V3 Steering Wheel.

Valve finally revealed pricing for the much-anticipated Steam Frame today. The standalone VR headset starts at $1,059 for the 256 GB model, while the 1 TB version costs $1,299. Pre-orders are open now through a randomized reservation lottery, similar to how Valve handled the Steam Machine launch. Sign-ups close on September 17, and Valve says it expects to send the first batch of purchase invites out on September 18. Valve also confirmed pricing for launch accessories, including a $29 power supply unit that surprisingly does not come included. Other add-ons include a $59 Ergonomic Accessories Kit, and a $49 Accessory Replacement Kit for the face gasket and cushions.

The pricing follows the same pattern Valve set with the Steam Machine, which launched in June at a steep $1,049, much higher than expected. The company blamed DRAM and storage shortages for pushing costs well past initial targets, and the same seems to have happened to the Steam Frame now. Industry reports say Valve had originally aimed to price the Frame below the $999 Index, but that goal looks to have gotten buried under the same memory crisis. It seems like the entire VR and handheld gaming space is now paying the DRAM tax, and I doubt the Frame will be the last device to see its price creep upward before launch.

Pexar, a smart device brand powered by Lexar, today launched its Kickstarter campaign for the PexarBolt Ultra TBT5 Dock, a 5-inch touch control dashboard designed with a simple goal: see your workflow, control your desk. Powered by Thunderbolt 5 and compatible with both macOS and Windows systems, the PexarBolt Dock provides up to 80 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth, with Bandwidth Boost delivering up to 120 Gbps of transmit bandwidth for display-intensive workflows. A single Thunderbolt 5 cable connects to all 22 ports, including 10GbE, an NVMe slot, and CFexpress Type B.

The world's first touch control dashboard on a Thunderbolt 5 dock
The PexarBolt Dock integrates a 5-inch touch control dashboard that displays real-time status for every connected device. Users can monitor connection status, transfer activity, storage information, real-time power readings on supported ports, and the dock's temperature and fan status at a glance. Keeping this information directly on the dock makes it easier to check device activity and identify unexpected transfer slowdowns without interrupting the workflow. A precision metal dial enables tactile navigation and, within AI Status, lets users approve or reject requests from supported AI coding agents directly from the dock.

Huanuo, the ergonomic technology brand trusted by more than 10 million users worldwide, today unveiled its complete smart ergonomic portfolio at IFA 2026, spanning chairs, desks, and monitor arms built on one conviction: no one should have to be an ergonomics expert just to sit, stand, or move comfortably.

About three in five workers in the European Union report musculoskeletal complaints, the most common work-related health problem in the EU, according to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. Huanuo takes a different approach than furniture that simply offers more adjustment options: its products do the adjusting themselves.

A new brand is entering the Mac accessories space. INFTYLAB by BenQ launches today with three desktop products designed specifically for Apple's ecosystem.

Studio Arm is the first monitor arm built for Apple's display lineup: Studio Display, Studio Display XDR, and iMac, providing model-specific weight balance. M Mouse brings ergonomic design without sacrificing Mac's native gestures. Flow Desk Mat rounds out the lineup with integrated cable management and a leather-textured surface.

JSAUX GAMING today officially launched two products from VOIDJOY, its controller-focused sub-brand: the VOIDJOY SkyLark S1 Pro Portable Controller and the VOIDJOY Elite Extender for Switch Pro Controller.

The launch expands JSAUX GAMING's product portfolio into gaming control hardware and accessories, offering new options for portable and console gaming setups. The VOIDJOY lineup will be showcased at IFA 2026 in Berlin from September 4 to 8 at booth H7.2b-117.

Aside from the pricey ASUS ROG Falcata and Sunder keyboard line-up, there are very few split, ergonomic, Hall effect keyboards for gamers who either want the comfort of a split keyboard for everyday use or want a small form factor that allows them to keep just one half of the keyboard on the desk at a time. Now, thanks to a new open-source project, there is at least one third option available in the Silakka54 HE project, which is an adapted version of the popular, affordable Silakka54 split mechanical keyboard.

The Silakka54 HE features an identical layout to the original Silakka54, meaning it has 54 keys in total, arranged in a grid of six columns and four rows, with two three-key thumb clusters. It is built on the RP2040 Zero MCU, and runs on open-source QMK firmware with support for the VIAL browser-based configuration tool. The keyboard is fully wired, and the two halves connect to each other via TRRS cable, which might limit the polling rate, although reports claim the mechanical Silakka54 is capable of at least 1 kHz.

Epomaker may be more known for its mechanical keyboards, like the Luma40, but the keyboard maker has recently delved into other gaming peripherals, starting with gaming mice and now launching its first wireless gaming headset in the GX1. The Epomaker GX1 is available from Epomaker's online store for an MSRP of $49.99.

At a basic level, the GX1 is an open-back over-ear gaming headset with 50 mm dynamic drivers that have a frequency response of 20-20,000 Hz. The GX1 has a detachable boom mic with environmental noise cancellation (ENC), but it also has a built-in mic for basic communication. The headband has seven levels of adjustment for maximum comfort, and Epomaker says that the ear cups promote airflow, although the brand doesn't specify a cup material. The backs of the cups feature customizable RGB lighting that can be controlled in Epomaker's custom Windows-only driver software.

JSAUX GAMING today announced Voidjoy, a new JSAUX sub-brand focused on gaming controllers and controller accessories. The announcement marks JSAUX GAMING's move into a dedicated controller category in its tenth year.

Voidjoy will be showcased at IFA 2026 in Berlin from September 4 to 8, where JSAUX will preview three Voidjoy product areas: portable controllers, pc controllers, and controller accessories.
