GuliKit’s tiny USB dongle lets you connect your PS5 controller to your Switch 2

Dongles have a well-earned reputation for being a nuisance. They’re often costly and annoying to deal with, but for gamers, there’s one that I love to recommend that’s neither. 8BitDo’s $20 USB Adapter 2 lets you wirelessly link controllers to the Switch 2 that would otherwise be unsupported, like the Sony DualSense (complete with rumble […]

The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain’s best friend

In a somewhat controversial Vergecast episode, I declared that AirTags are a superior product to iPads. The iPad lovers roasted me across social media. I have heard and respect their opinions. But, I’m sorry – the second-gen AirTag has only deepened my conviction that the humble, $29 item tracker is one of Apple’s most helpful […]

Anker’s new charger with a screen would feel less gimmicky if it did more

The latest Anker 45-watt Nano charger, announced in January, which remains one of the smallest 45-watt chargers on the market, adds a full color screen displaying an animated character and a smattering of details about the device you’re charging. The display is occasionally useful if you like to keep tabs on how much power your […]

I didn’t expect to love Dyson’s PencilVac Fluffycones – but I did

As The Verge’s resident robot vacuum reviewer, I don’t have a lot of time (or space) in my life for stick vacs, and frankly, the ones I have used have largely disappointed me. Top-heavy, bulky, always getting clogged or running out of battery – they’re so… manual. But then I met PencilVac Fluffycones, Dyson’s new […]

This tiny pocket-friendly e-reader is packed with frustration and potential

I’ve used and reviewed dozens of e-readers over the years, but the 5-inch Kobo Mini remains my favorite for one simple reason: It was small. While it lacked useful features like screen lighting and page turn buttons, its size made it an e-reader I actually wanted to carry every day. The $69 Xteink X4 e-reader […]

The latest Instax printer is a pricey but worthy upgrade

FujiFilm’s Instax Mini Link 3 printer is a much-loved $100 accessory in my travel journal kit. I often tape a printed image next to my handwritten thoughts to preserve a moment in time. The prints produced by the instant film can, however, be soft and muddy – something the new $169.95 Instax Mini Link+ promises […]

This DIY kit turned my favorite mechanical keyboard into my favorite electrocapacitive keyboard

For my money, you simply cannot get a better electrocapacitive keyboard than the Bauer Lite with a DynaCap kit. [Editor’s note: Huh?] You can get a nicer EC keyboard, without having to build it yourself, by simply spending $3,600 on a Norbauer Seneca. Or you can get a Happy Hacking Keyboard or a Realforce for […]

Obsbot’s new gimbal webcam doesn’t justify its $350 price

Webcam company Obsbot recently launched two new gimbal-equipped webcams, the $349 Tiny 3 and the $199 Tiny 3 Lite. It claims that the priciest model is the smallest pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) 4K webcam ever made, weighing 63 grams. Ironically, the Tiny 3 Lite is heavier and bigger. I’ve been testing the Tiny 3 for […]

The Stream Deck-packed gaming keyboard is a monster of good ideas

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 […]

The best fitness trackers and watches we’ve tested

Fitness trackers have come a long way from the simple bands that tracked steps and little else. Modern trackers can monitor everything from your heart health to how well you’ve recovered from a hard bout of training. Even flagship smartwatches, which used to be lackluster trackers, have become pretty adept workout companions. Whatever your fitness […]
