The KB7 is the flagship, a tenkeyless board with a 4.3-inch Command Touch Display built into it. Think of it as a Stream Deck fused onto your keyboard, letting you swap profiles, trigger macros, manage audio, or push OBS scene changes with a tap.

The Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition gaming mouse costs over one thousand dollars. $1,337, to be specific. It's not made of gold. It doesn't even have real leather on the leather-wrapped components. It's a plastic-based polyurethane leather, attached to a transparent plastic shell. For $1,337.

At first glance, the GIA looks like it time-traveled from a 1960s Italian design studio, stopped briefly in 2026 to pick up some modern tech, and landed on your desk with a personality. The inspiration comes from Olivetti typewriters, those gorgeous mechanical machines that made office work feel like an art form. Remember when tools had character? When objects didn't just function but made you feel something? That's what Bedrina is tapping into here.

A keyboard is more than the sum of its parts. To have a truly great typing experience, a lot has to come together-each aspect of a keyboard needs to be designed (or selected) with the rest of it in mind. But not every keyboard needs to strive for a great typing experience. Sometimes, they just need to get the job done. Take, for example, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro.

Tech moves fast, breaks things, ships updates, iterates. The entire industry is built on the assumption that this year's product will be obsolete by next year, and that's fine because next year's version will be better anyway. Then you see someone in Fukui Prefecture spending twenty minutes hand-sanding a single wooden keyboard key, checking it by touch, and the whole paradigm feels suddenly optional.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD didn't just come out of the ether. The new full-size mechanical keyboard with a Stream Deck fused to its side is the result of a lot of things coming together over the years. Corsair's gaming business is more refined than ever, and Stream Deck's wide ecosystem of plug-ins makes the dedicated hardware useful to just about anyone, even if they have little interest in streaming. The fusion makes sense.

Fallout never lets go of Nuka-Cola. You can be ankle deep in irradiated sludge, low on ammo, and still your brain pings when you see that red script on a rusted machine. The games trained everyone to read those machines as little probability engines. Maybe caps, maybe chems, maybe a ghoul behind the door. That association sticks. You see Nuka-Cola now and your fingers almost reach for the VATS key out of habit.

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.

Settling in for "just one more run" usually means your thumbs, wrists, or forearms start complaining long before the game is done. Most controllers are fixed objects that expect your body to adapt, which can lead to repetitive strain or numbness. You either push through the discomfort or take breaks that feel like interruptions, but rarely can you adjust the hardware itself to match how your hands actually feel in that moment.

The 20th Anniversary Edition of the Razer Boomslang replaces those mechanical components with a 45,000 DPI optical sensor. The original mouse's symmetrical ambidextrous design has been carried forward, but the new Boomslang is now wireless with an 8,000Hz polling rate and comes with a Razer Mouse Dock Pro wireless charging stand. You'll also find 9-zone customizable RGB lighting on the underside of the new Boomslang that can be synced to over 300 games; a feature the Razer brand has become known for.
