HELIX is a biomorphic controller concept that borrows its overall stance from an owl, symmetrical, balanced, and ready to move. It's designed to come apart and fit back together easily, working as a single controller or as two separate pieces. The flexible shape is meant to follow how players actually sit and shift during long sessions instead of forcing one rigid grip that starts to ache after the third hour.

As simple as it might sound, getting a wireless mouse design right is not a simple task. The number of variables involved due to hand shapes, finger sizes, and the preferred hand for operating the accessory makes it impossible to design a mouse that suits all.

Repair and assembly are usually framed as chores, tasks to be completed as quickly as possible, so we can move on to something more enjoyable. The bi:ts tool challenges this perception by transforming the act of tightening a screw into something closer to play. Instead of feeling like labor, the experience becomes tactile, intuitive, and surprisingly satisfying. At the heart of the product is a joystick-inspired interface, borrowed from the language of game controllers.

First, as the name suggests, it features a cool, curved, and clear smart display that never leaves you guessing about the torque setting or battery life. It's the first of its kind I've seen on a tool like this, and it's a neat idea. This is a game-changer, and it made me realize just how unintuitive it is to squint at a small dial or blinking LEDs to figure out what setting your tool is in.

Most pizza cutters feel flimsy when you need them to work hardest. The blade dulls after a few uses, the handle slips when your hands are greasy, and cleaning caked cheese out of the mechanism becomes its own kitchen project. Cheap versions wobble through thick crusts instead of cutting cleanly. Better ones exist but often sacrifice grip comfort or end up too bulky for drawer storage.

Ample packing space is essential, whether you're bringing your backpack as an airplane carry-on or gearing up for a particularly strenuous hike. This spacious pack comes with 20 independent pockets and three compartments to easily fit all your essentials. But that's not all it offers. Specifically designed for airplane travel, it features an external USB port for effortless portable charging, and its durable material ensures the bag is built to last.

Designers tend to chase sleekness when they redesign products - it's why the iPad Pro is some paltry 5mm thin, it's why the MacBook Air could fit in a Manila envelope when it first released, it's why Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge... but there are some products you just can't make sleek, because their unique design and form plays an important role in ergonomics.

The QK Alice Duo is a unique split ergonomic keyboard designed to enhance comfort while providing personalization options for users who value both functionality and aesthetics.
