This Ghost in the Shell keyboard makes me want to activate the hundred spidery robot fingers inside my regular fingers

Anime collaborations are everywhere, from Gundam watches and Naruto nights at Major League ballparks to just about anything Evangelion. But these Ghost in the Shell keyboards from Iqunix are some of the coolest examples I’ve seen of anime-inspired everyday tech. They look sick and they type and play great. At $249 they’re a hefty upcharge […]

My backyard made me a color-changing smart lighting convert

I’ll admit it. I was wrong. Wildly colorful lighting is delightful for your smart home – well, outdoors, at least. Smart lighting is one of my favorite features of the smart home – it combines convenience with ambiance, letting you change the entire look of your room with just a press of a button. But, […]

The new PopSockets grip is so thin you’ll forget it’s even there

If you had asked me a week ago to recommend a thinner alternative to PopSockets’ magnetic phone grips, I would have told you to buy the OhSnap Snap Grip 5. Ask me now and I’ll redirect you right back to the company that accidentally invented the phone grip in 2012 when trying to come up […]

These mechanical keyboards are two very different sides of the same beautifully made coin

Most mechanical keyboards are great these days, with colorful looks and satisfying typing sounds – even in budget-friendly ranges. But every so often, one stops me dead in my tracks. In this case, two of them. I’ve been testing a pair of jaw-droppingly lovely keyboards that launched late last year. The Evoworks Evo75, a compact […]

Apple’s weird anti-nausea dots cured my car sickness

I’ll just work from the car, I thought. But after a few minutes of staring at my screen on quick mountain switchbacks I could feel the first signs of cold, coagulated nausea bubbling up from that sweaty place in my gut. I looked to the horizon for relief, but nothing helped… until I remembered Apple’s […]

This portable light is great for way more than camping

It’s intended for camping, but BougeRV’s T1 light is so versatile that it also makes for a great summer travel companion that’ll continue to light the dark corners of your life long after you return. I used it for a few months during a recent road trip in my camper van, and it’s the light […]

I’ve found the Goldilocks of portable MIDI controllers

I have tested more portable MIDI controllers than I can keep track of, and I will tell you right now: 37 keys is the ideal size. While Arturia’s 25-key MiniLab MK3 is a solid controller that easily fits in a backpack, it feels a bit claustrophobic. The new $149 MiniLab 37 adds another octave, giving […]

I went to the woods to drink surprisingly great espresso

As summer returns, I’m again reminded of my limits as I head into the great outdoors: I can put up with a heavy, uncomfortable backpack, bug bites, mud, and even bland dehydrated food, but I will not forsake my morning brew. I’ve tried every imaginable coffee gadget in my half-century of camping. These range from […]

Boox’s quirky page-turning remote won me over

Following the launch of the surprisingly popular Kobo Remote, Boox has released its own device to ease the burden of reaching for an e-reader’s touchscreen that’s an arm’s length away. The Tappy isn’t Boox’s first page-turning remote, but its design takes a much different approach to the company’s slim but boring B.T. Remoter. The Tappy […]
