The New PlayStation 5 Fight Stick Is Way Weirder Than It Looks

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-27 20:01:39

Sony’s new controller for PS5 is unlike any of its other twin-stick, two-handed controllers, and not for all the obvious reasons. Sony’s “Project Defiant” fight stick now has a new name, FlexStrike, and a vague release date—2026. But the more intriguing, and more annoying, aspect of the fight stick is how it will connect to your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro. The FlexStrike features all the face buttons and triggers of a regular DualSense controller along with a single Japanese-type fight

Sony's wireless fight stick is now called FlexStrike and it features mechanical switch buttons

Sony just dropped some more details about its upcoming wireless fight stick, including the real name. During development, it was known as Project Defiant but it's officially called the FlexStrike. This is the very first fight stick controller designed by Sony Interactive and it's compatible with both PS5 and PC via either a wired or wireless connection. It's also extremely easy on the eyes, as you can see below. Fighting games require precise inputs with no lag, and wireless controllers aren't

This Arch-based Linux distro has a clean, privacy-focused experience for tinkerers

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-28 20:08:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux.

Nothing Phone 3 doesn’t win on value, but it won me over anyway

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 06:00:58

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority The Nothing Phone 3 is quirky and weird. It has riled up the Nothing lovers and haters alike. Social media forums indicate that a lot of people don’t like that camera layout, price, or have polarizing views on the Glyph Matrix. I might be on the less popular end for both. I liked the Nothing Phone 3’s odd design choices when I first saw it in person at the London launch event. I was taken aback by the price, sure. But I wanted to give it a try nonetheless. I’

The F1 movie continues its hot streak at cinemas, with the film still widely resonating with audience a month after its theatrical premiere. The Apple Original Film has now crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office, with the running total now standing around $509 million.

Next month marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most devastating natural disasters in US history: Hurricane Katrina, a Category 3 storm that made landfall on August 29, 2005.
