Breggz, the premium audio brand founded by Dutch artist and songwriter Xander de Buisonjé, today announces the launch of Zohn 2, the brand's next-generation wireless earphones certified for IMAX Enhanced. Combining a five-driver acoustic architecture with Breggz Master Tuning and Sound Profiles, Zohn 2 is designed to bring listeners closer to the detail, depth and emotion of music and film as their creators intended.

Breggz founder, Xander de Buisonjé"I just want the world to hear what I hear. On stage and in the studio, I hear every layer of the music through my wired in-ear monitors. With Zohn 2, we want to bring that level of detail to everyday listening, whether you're listening to music or watching a film."

Physical copies still make up close to a third of the console games people actually own, according to a new Newzoo white paper produced with support from G2A. The firm surveyed 6,166 "premium gamers" across the US, UK, Germany, Poland, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia in August, defined as players aged 18 to 55 who game at least monthly on PC or a current-gen console and bought or subscribed to at least one AA or AAA title in the past year. Of the console games these respondents paid for outright, 30.4% were physical. That share drops to 11% across everything they play, since free-to-play and subscription titles together account for more than half of it.

Apparently, the most common reason for buying physical is being able to play without a stable internet connection, followed by the feeling of owning something tangible and saving storage space. That last one carries a bit more weight now that game download sizes have ballooned, with GTA 6 needing up to 212 GB on its own. Reselling, trading, or lending games came in fourth, and that is something digital console purchases still largely don't allow. PC is a different story, with PC-only players reporting just 6% physical ownership, although GOG would like to change that.

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.

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.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says AMD will bring RDNA 5+ to its Zen 7 "Grimlock" APUs in 2029. He posted on the NeoGAF forum, replying to a user who guessed RDNA 5 would trickle down to regular mobile chips in 2028 or later. His answer was "RDNA5+ in 2029 with Grimlock." He gave no details on how RDNA 5+ differs from RDNA 5, and AMD hasn't confirmed the name or timing. Grimlock is the codename for the Zen 7 Ryzen generation. This update follows Kepler_L2's January claim that AMD is splitting its APU roadmap in two. Products that don't need strong integrated graphics, like office laptops or laptops with a high-end discrete GPU, stay on RDNA 3.5 until 2029, while "premium" parts get RDNA 5. Medusa Halo is expected to be one of those.

The picture is messy, though. We previously reported that Medusa Point should get RDNA 4m, a tweaked RDNA 3.5 with FSR 4 support, and AMD's HIPRT 3.2 release notes list Medusa support for gfx1170, gfx1171 and gfx115E. The gfx115x family is RDNA 3.5, so it looks like at least one Medusa chip could stick with it. If this ends up being true, anyone waiting on a mainstream Ryzen laptop or handheld with RDNA 5 graphics may be waiting a long time. That's a long run for one iGPU architecture, but of course, this is all leak territory until AMD says something concrete.

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Nano Controller, a pocket-sized gamepad priced at $49.99 (£44.99) that it calls its smallest controller yet. It measures just over five inches long and weighs a tiny 3.5 ounces, yet still packs all 18 standard gameplay inputs, plus a programmable Action Button for screenshots and gameplay capture. It connects over Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth, runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, and works with Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, iOS and Android devices, and select smart TVs. Microsoft hasn't shared battery life or color options yet, and there's no word on rumble or impulse triggers either. Pre-orders are open now, with the controller launching on November 4 across 36 markets, including the US, UK, Japan, and much of Europe.

Xbox is also lining up US holiday bundles, with select Samsung TVs and Meta Quest headsets coming with a Nano Controller and two months of Game Pass Ultimate for new members. A compact controller for TVs and VR headsets makes the most sense for cloud gaming, though the timing isn't great. Starting in November, Xbox Cloud Gaming gets monthly time limits, with Ultimate subscribers capped at 15 hours, Premium at 10, and Essential at 5, and extra hours costing more. At $49.99, the Nano also costs noticeably more than other compact controllers, such as CRKD's Atom+ at $29.99 and 8BitDo's Lite 2 at $34.99. Native Xbox Wireless support might justify some of that premium, but battery life will probably decide whether it's worth it.

After showing off its Gorgon Halo mini workstations at IFA 2026, Acemagic has officially launched the F9A mini PC as an AI workstation powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ APU with its Radeon 8065S iGPU, for 131 TOPS of AI compute and up to 192 GB of unified memory. The Ryzen AI mini PC's all-metal chassis measures in at just 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5 mm, or 2 L volume, and pricing starts at $6,499 for 192 GB of memory and a 2 TB SSD.

The mini PC features a modern ports selection, with front I/O consisting of dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a USB4 Type-C port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. The back of the mini PC, meanwhile, features another USB4 port, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, dual 2.5 GbE, a USB 2.0 port, another USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, and an OCuLink port for eGPU expansion in the event that you need more power than the Radeon 8065S can put out. The 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8355 unified memory can be configured so that 160 GB is dedicated to video memory.

Walmart's GeForce Week promotion briefly listed MSI's GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB Gaming Trio OC at $4,299.99, and it sold out after showing up in roughly 10,000 shoppers' online carts. The listing has since gone out of stock, according to Videocardz, who first spotted it. That price sits about $2,300 above NVIDIA's $1,999 MSRP, a premium of roughly 115 percent. On paper, that looks steep, but RTX 5090 prices have been climbing hard lately, with some cards reportedly passing $9,000 to $10,000 on the secondary market. Against that, $4,299 from a major retailer apparently looked like a decent option.

It says a lot about how tight the RTX 5090 market has gotten that 10,000 people still added it to their carts. Part of the shortage seems to come from AI firms reportedly picking up RTX 5090 stock in bulk before it reaches gaming-focused retail, though it's hard to say how much of the scarcity traces back to that versus general Blackwell supply limits. The MSI Gaming Trio OC itself is a solid variant, with 21,760 CUDA cores, 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, a 2,482 MHz boost clock, and a 575 W power draw. NVIDIA hasn't announced a successor to the RTX 5090 yet, so anyone chasing the fastest consumer GPU right now has very little room to negotiate on price.

As a leading innovator in graphics card technology, PALIT Microsystems Ltd. is excited to announce the official global debut of our digital ambassador, RiTONA, alongside a special edition graphics card: the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB RiTONA OC.

Meet RiTONA: PALIT's Digital Brand Ambassador
First debuting in Japan in 2022, RiTONA is now stepping onto the global stage with an evolved look. Her updated design showcases a more mature and confident style.

Wallhack has been teasing its M-001 wireless gaming mouse for some time, but it hasn't revealed much of what to expect from the new peripheral when it launches. However, Wallhack has now officially announced the M-001's release date and pricing, and provided a full spec sheet for the new mouse. The official launch date is slated for September 21, and one of the most notable facts that was previously unknown is that the mouse will have a magnesium shell. Despite the cast metal shell, M-001 will still weigh in at a relatively lightweight 53 g.

The internals are also premium, with the M-001 relying on a PixArt PAW 3950 sensor and a Nordic NRF54L15 MCU. This means it will be capable of 8 kHz polling, up to 30,000 DPI, and a claimed 2 ms wireless latency. As previously confirmed, the M-001 will have swappable batteries, and it will ship with two batteries included. We now also know that the batteries will be 250 mAh, which is more or less in-line with what other mouse makers are offering on similar MCU and sensor combinations. The M-001 will measure in at 120 × 64 × 39 mm and feature a right-handed symmetrical shape similar to Logitech's G Pro line-up, but with more sculpted sides.

At IFA 2026, we visited the AWOL Vision booth to explore what the company had in store. The highlight was the AWOL LuxVision ultra-short-throw (UST) projector, the company's flagship model designed for high-end home entertainment and theater spaces. As the world's first UST projector with 4K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and optical shift, this model boasts an output of 6000 ISO lumens and triple-laser RGB projection. It supports a 0.18:1 throw ratio and can project a screen size of up to 200 inches, transforming your home's wall into a large-format entertainment space at the click of a button. The projector features a motorized lens cover and a zero-light-leakage lens that automatically adjusts for optimal alignment and focus with the screen.

The projector delivers a highly vivid image with 110% Rec. 2020 coverage, Dynamic Tone Mapping, and a 7-level dynamic IRIS that fine-tunes color, contrast, and light scene by scene. Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, Filmmaker Mode, and 3D support enhance the cinematic experience for all types of content. It caters not only to cinematic enthusiasts but also to gamers, with features like a 1 ms input lag, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Dolby Vision Gaming. For connectivity, it offers three HDMI 2.1 ports and a single DisplayPort.

At Gamescom, ZOTAC unveiled the newly released ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC 20th Anniversary Edition. Celebrating 20 years of Zotac, this special edition is limited to 2,000 units worldwide, with specific quantities allocated to local markets. For example, in Germany, there is an allocation of 200 units, all of which are exclusively sold through domestic retailer Alternate.de. Interestingly, the Anniversary Edition retails for €20 less than the regular edition at Alternate.de.

Beyond its unique packaging, the Anniversary Edition features two distinctive elements: a magnetically attached secondary backplate with a mirror-like finish and the ZOTAC GAMING DUO ARGB GPU Support Stand, which was previously sold separately. These features are complemented by a unique titanium colorway, giving the otherwise understated SOLID CORE design a more distinctive look without making the card overly flashy. The large cooler remains a dominant feature, with its full-length heatsink, multiple heat pipes, and three-fan configuration designed to keep the RTX 5080 running smoothly under sustained loads. The backplate's reflective surface is particularly striking in person, adding a premium touch that photos can't quite capture.

Grand Theft Auto VI is leading the charge in the $80 AAA race, which has understandably upset many gamers, but the $100 Ultimate Edition has been another point of contention in online discussions. However, despite the online discussions potentially suggesting otherwise, Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently explained in an interview with CNBC that pre-orders are stronger for the Ultimate Edition than the standard $80 version of the game, although he declined to provide exact pre-order figures, which are estimated to exceed $260 million in revenue already.

When asked about how the Ultimate Edition pricing was affecting pre-orders, Zelnick said that "it's skewing more to the premium edition," and he goes on to explain that "that might be a reflection again of the fact that the most avid consumers are the ones who are pre-ordering." Part of the discourse and criticism around the $100 Ultimate Edition of GTA VI revolve around the fact that many of the additional items in the special edition are cosmetics and customization options, and that GTA VI is a single-player game, where paid DLC is usually more substantial, like additional playable content or other characters.

MSI today announced the global availability of the Crosshair A16 HX MLG Edition, a distinctive white gaming laptop created for players who want powerful performance, immersive visuals, and a bold design identity. The new edition introduces global gamers to LOONG:NIA, also known as MLG, a dragon-inspired original character whose story is built around courage, creativity, and the determination to overcome limits. Raised by the noble lineage of the Ancient Dragons, LOONG dreamed of becoming a Wingborne Watcher, a guardian who protects and guides dragonkind. Though born without wings, she used her talent in mechanical design to build her own, becoming a night-sky guardian who symbolizes self-made power and fearless ambition. Bringing this character narrative into the product experience, the Crosshair A16 HX MLG Edition combines MSI's gaming DNA with a pearl-like Stellar White finish, custom MLG design elements, and exclusive bundled accessories.

Top-tier Performance with 16-core CPU & Full-powered GPU
Built for high-performance gaming and next-generation AI experiences, the Crosshair A16 HX MLG Edition is powered by up to an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12 GB GDDR7 memory. MSI OverBoost Technology enables up to 190 W total CPU and GPU power output, while the Cooler Boost cooling system, with dual fans, five heat pipes, and a quad-exhaust heatsink design, helps maintain stable performance under heavy workloads.

Colorful introduced its first premium magnetic keyboards at Computex 2026 showcasing by the new Magnex XC87 and Magnex XC87 Lila. Both feature an 80% TKL layout, aluminium body, custom magnetic switches, PC keycaps, an MCL chamberless mount structure, 8,000 Hz polling, a small OLED display, a control knob, and wired connectivity. The standard XC87 keyboard uses Rainstar magnetic switches, while the XC87 Lila comes with Jadeite switches and purple-themed keycaps.

The Mech QY98 Pro and Mech QY98 mechanical keyboards were also on display in the Colorful booth, both having an 98% layout, leaf-spring mounting and wired, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz connectivity. The QY98 Pro features Skyblue switches, PBT keycaps with five-sided dye-sublimation and an 8,000 mAh battery. The non-pro QY98 uses Starfrost switches, double-shot PBT keycaps with five-sided dye-sublimation and a smaller 4,000 mAh battery.

ATK Gear, the Chinese brand known for making budget gaming peripherals with flagship internals, has officially shown off the Nothing 68 as its latest magnetic keyboard at Computex 2026. The Nothing 68 features a compact 68% layout, which has become quite popular of late, thanks to its compact form factor and inclusion of a full-size arrow cluster. The Nothing 68 will be available in two colorways, but both will be based on a translucent plastic design, with one being closer to transparent and the other being a smoky gray color with a gray tint on the keycaps and the keyboard's bottom case. The Nothing 68 prototype shown off at Computex has RGB lighting under diffusers in various spots along the bottom, sides, and top edges of the keyboard's case, and it looks to be using a gasket mount design to offer some sound and bottom-out damping. ATK didn't specify which switches will be featured in the ATK Nothing 68, but it looks, through the shine-through keycaps, as though it will be using something like the Crystal Blade switches that ATK has been selling for a while now in keyboards like the RS7 Air. The keycaps on the Nothing 68 look to be polycarbonate with UV printing.

The other Computex launch is an ATK sub-brand called Velota, which will apparently be the brand's more premium, aesthetics-focussed division, and what appears to be the first Velota keyboard is the Fuzzy 60 V2. As the name suggests, the Fuzzy 60 V2 is a more traditional 60% keyboard with full-size right shift, enter, backspace, and pipe keys, although it lacks an arrow cluster, owing to the 60% form factor. The Fuzzy 60 V2 has many of the same aesthetic cues as the aforementioned Nothing 68, but instead of a transparent plastic case, it has a quick-release aluminium top case. It also uses ATK's custom Silver Regent switch, which has a similar transparent design to the Crystal Blade switches in the Nothing 68, but th The Fuzzy 60 V2 also has a bottom accent plate with polished metal trim. The Velota brand is China-exclusive at the time of writing, but many ATK products that were once exclusive to China have made it to global audiences at a later date, so it would not be surprising to see the same thing happen here. Currently, you can find the ATK Velota Fuzzy 60 V2 on Halleffectkeyboard.com for $299.99.

At Computex 2026, NZXT has debuted its latest Ultra RGB Fan series, which upgrades the materials and design of the existing RGB fan frame with a focus on premium aesthetics and customization. The NZXT Ultra fans come in four sizes: F120U with a single 120 mm fan, F140U with a single 140 mm fan, F360U with three 120 mm fans, and F420 with three 140 mm fans. Each fan frame features a single eight-pin NZXT combo header that serves as both RGB and PWM control, and the single-fan versions have two RGB zones, while the three-fan F420U and F360U frames have three zones each. Pricing on the new NZXT Ultra Fans comes in at $29.99 for the F120U, $34.99 for the F140U, $89.99 for the F360U, and $99.99 for the F420U. The new fans use the same fluid dynamic bearings as the original frame fans, but this time, there is a metallic accent on the fan hubs for a more premium touch.

As with previous NZXT Fan Frame designs, the Ultra Fan series aims to minimize cable clutter and streamline both physical installation and software management of case fans. The Ultra Fans take use standard 120 mm and 140 mm fan screw spacing, but there are only four screws per frame on both the small and large frames. The Ultra fans also feature an RGB-illuminated loop around the fans, in addition to the typical fan hub lighting effects, and you can run different effects on the hub and loop. The RGB addressable RGB zones in the Ultra Fan series are customizable in NZXT Cam, but there is an optional 5 v ARGB header for native motherboard control instead. NZXT claims that the frames with 120 mm fans offer noise levels of 32.2 dBA per fan, while the 140 mm variant bumps it up to 36.9 dBA per fan. Both fan frames are available in black and white. NZXT also showed off the RGB Reverse Fan single-fan frame, which takes the original 360 and 420 mm Frame designs and flips the fan orientation for more diverse PC build options.

French computer manufacturer, Bleu Jour, has officially updated its Kubb Fanless mini PC with Intel's Panther Lake, equipping the mini PC with an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU with its Arc B390 iGPU. Alongside the new CPU option, however, the mini PC has also received a price update, now coming in at a premium €1,850, which is a €355 increase over the previous Intel Core Ultra 5 225H CPU. That starting price gets you Windows 11 Pro, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM in dual channel, and a 1 TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD, but the mini PC is also available with up to 64 GB of DDR5-6400 for €545.90 extra, while a 4 TB SSD upgrade carries a €526 upcharge, coming to €2,921.90 for a maxed-out build. That pricing is starting well into the territory of mini PCs powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 395 Max+ APUs, although a compact passively cooled mini PC appeals to a very niche market.

The Kubb Fanless is a passively cooled mini PC, with the cooling coming from the fins machined directly into the aluminium chassis, but despite the fanless design, the PC fits into a footprint of just 12 × 12 cm. Kubb claims that the chassis design is optimized for thermal performance, and it weighs in at 2.3 kg, so there's a decent amount of aluminium in the passive radiator setup. The port selection is also healthy, with front I/O consisting of 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1× Thunderbolt 4 with DP 2.1, 1× USB 3.2 Type-C with DP 1.4a alt mode, and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. The rear I/O has 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2, 2× HDMI 2.1, and 2× RJ45 ports.
