Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% mechanical keyboard

Fifty bucks normally buys you a gaming keyboard you put up with. Razer's Reclusa X Mini 65%, announced Tuesday, costs $49.99 and lets you pull the switches out with your fingers and drop different ones in. No soldering iron required.

Hot-swap sockets, which take most standard 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, usually show up on boards costing two or three times this much. Razer put them on its cheapest mechanical keyboard and made it the first product in a new Reclusa line.

Logitech’s $99 MX Keypad Bets Your AI Prompts Deserve a Physical Button

Logitech MX Keypad, a compact nine-key macro pad with full-color LCD keys, shown in Graphite

You probably have a prompt you retype several times a day. Something like "run the tests and fix whatever breaks," or "explain this function to me like I just joined the team." You paste it into Copilot, then paste it again into a terminal ten minutes later. Logitech's bet is that a prompt like that has earned a physical button.

The MX Keypad went on sale September 8 for $99.99 in Graphite and Pale Grey. You get nine keys, each one a small full-color LCD you can drop an icon on, plus two page buttons that cycle through as many as 15 pages of layouts. It measures 3.6 by 3.1 inches, weighs 96 grams, plugs in over USB-C, and works with macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later.

TCL Printed a 28-Inch Tri-Fold OLED Monitor That Folds Down to 16 Inches

TCL CSOT 28-inch tri-fold portable OLED monitor prototype shown partly unfolded at IFA 2026

Portable monitors have a size problem. The ones big enough to be useful are a pain to carry, and the ones easy to carry are barely worth unpacking. TCL's display arm brought a possible way out to IFA 2026 in Berlin: a 28-inch ultrawide OLED panel that folds twice and shrinks down to roughly a 16-inch package.

You can't buy it. This is a prototype, and CSOT has been hauling it around the trade show circuit since MWC back in March, with no price and no release date attached. What makes it worth a second look is how the screen was made. Instead of the vacuum evaporation process behind nearly every OLED you own, an inkjet printer laid the glowing material down.

Apple’s Magic Keyboards Finally Match the MacBook’s Keycaps

Apple magic keyboard glyphs

Look at the modifier keys on a MacBook and then at the ones on a desktop Magic Keyboard. The laptop shows symbols. The desktop keyboard spells out the words. Apple has been shipping that mismatch for years, and today it quietly fixed it.

All four Magic Keyboards now use MacBook-style keycaps with symbols instead of words. They went on sale immediately, alongside the new Mac mini and Mac Studio, and the prices did not move.

I Built the Most Unreasonable Mac Desk Setup! (Video)

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Peripherals, Videos,

There's a version of this desk that makes sense, and this isn't it.

Four Apple silicon Macs. A terabyte and a half of unified memory. Six docking stations. A chair with actual motors inside it.

I record and edit every video here, test hardware here, and spend a completely unreasonable percentage of my life here when I'm not traveling. At some point the question stopped being what do I need and quietly became what happens if I stop saying no.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review

Microsoft Surface Pro 3

With the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft has switched up its strategy on its tablet PC, aiming to make it the best Windows laptop for the average consumer. This is the third attempt from the company at reinventing the laptop, bringing tablet parity into the product that runs on a full-on Intel Core i5 processor. It’s a large tablet. It’s a thin laptop. It’s a powerful 2 in 1. Is it the one for you, though?

Dell announces 5K monitor sporting 5120 x 2880 resolution for $2500

Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5k monitor

Dell has announced a new 5K display, clocking in at 27-inches with a 5120x2880 resolution. That's a staggering 14.7 million pixels, 70% more pixels than you'd find on a 4K monitor. The Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5k display also impresses with 218 pixels per inch (ppi), matching the pixel density found on the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. A media card reader is also built-in, as are six USB 3.0 ports to up your connectivity game. Now that it's proven that larger format Retina displays are possible, surely Retina iMacs and Thunderbolt 2 displays can't be far behind, right? OS X Yosemite has code references to 5120 x 2880 resolution, so Apple may already be readying its desktop machines for Retina resolutions.

No solid release date for the panel was given, but it should be available for purchase by the end of the year for $2499.99.
