Virtual Boy Returns as Switch 2 Accessory, A Nostalgic Yet Uncomfortable Revival

Nintendo's $100 Virtual Boy for Switch 2 is a surprisingly faithful but awkward homage that slides a Switch into a red-goggled shell to run seven classic Virtual Boy titles (via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack); while accurate in look and tweakable for future software, it demands a case-free setup, lacks IPD/focus adjustment, has limited games (with Wario Land the standout), no wired controller, and some app quirks, making it more a history lesson than a practical gaming solution - yet it offers a rare glimpse into the era of early glasses-free 3D.

Corsair Launches Mac-Compatible Gaming Keyboard and Mouse

Apple has partnered with Corsair to introduce its first official gaming keyboard and mouse for Mac users, marking a significant step in its gaming ambitions. The Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard and M75 wireless mouse are designed with Mac layouts and are available in exclusive colors at Apple stores.

"Reviving Discontinued Microsoft Peripherals: Incase's Licensing Deal Brings Back Accessories"

Onward Brands has announced a licensing deal with Microsoft to revive and rebrand discontinued Microsoft-branded computer peripherals under the Incase brand, with products like the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard set to return with "Designed by Microsoft" branding.

Laptop vs Mini PC: Which is the Better Buy?

While mini PCs are a great alternative to bulky desktop computers, a laptop is an even better mini PC due to its flexibility. A laptop can be used with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse just like a mini PC, but can also be taken on the go. Additionally, mini PCs often use laptop components, so it makes sense to have the option to use the computer away from the desk. Overall, a laptop offers the same benefits as a mini PC, but with added flexibility.
