androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-24 12:51:21

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Gboard is getting a subtly redesigned emoji picker interface. With this refresh, Google reverts the recent design change in beta that introduced broader buttons. This time, the update is rolling out in the stable channel, which means it will be available to a broader range of users. Google is constantly testing new UI tweaks or behavioral changes in its apps. Some of these changes don’t stick, especially when they are limited to beta versions of the app

Pro-level game controllers have been becoming more mainstream over the past several years, offering gamers a host of new features not found on the controllers that came with their systems. These features include extra mappable buttons, swappable gamepads and other customizability options. However, I don't think I've ever seen a controller that offers two dedicated button layouts within the same device. The Stealth Pivot from Turtle Beach lets you physically rotate the gamepads to reveal a whole

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 Is Overkill for Most People, but Still Delivers an Epic Gaming Experience

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade. Over the years dozens of competitors have cropped up, hoping to give Microsoft a run for its money. While the Elite 2 still isn't perfect, it still sets the bar high. What I like about the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 One of the best things the Elite 2 has going for it is the layout -- it's almost identical to the standa

The Switch 2 Pro Controller Makes a Comfortable Upgrade, but Still Falls a Bit Short

The Switch 2 Pro Controller is a standalone controller that pairs with the new Switch 2 and provides a more comfortable gaming experience than the standard Joy-Cons. While it might look similar to the old model, the second-gen controller has a number of new features to help it earn that "Pro" title. The 2 Pro retails for $85 -- a pretty significant jump over the original's $70. The good news is that, if you want to save some money, the Switch 1 Pro Controllers do work on the Switch 2. Since it'

As a child of the '90s few things get my nerd brain tingling like good ol' Super Mario. Even hearing my best friend's Mario-themed phone notifications take me back to a simpler time. So it's no surprise that I completely nerded out when I saw 8BitDo's Retro Mechanical Keyboard decked out in Mario colors. A solid mechanical keyboard with a heavy dose of nostalgia? Count me in. If the Mario theme isn't up your alley, the Retro is available in a few different versions, each pulling something from

Nintendo’s Revitalized GameCube Controller for Switch 2 Is Somehow Better Than the Original

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-05 13:00:02

2025 Nostalgia should not be enough to give any tech a passing grade. But let me come clean. I wouldn’t have dropped $65 on the revitalized GameCube controller for Switch 2 if I hadn’t spent my preteen years beholden to Nintendo’s boxy console. With improved buttons, the new version is better than anything from 2001. After so many years, I’ve come to see the gamepad as a unique device that’s enhanced by its limitations. Instead, it’s constrained by Nintendo’s own restrictions on where and how y

These 3 iOS Updates Are a Bigger Deal than Liquid Glass

Ever since downloading an early developer beta preview of iOS 26, my iPhone has more bounce, warble and bloop about it. The design changes coming to Apple gadgets have been a hot topic on social media. The new operating systems are adopting an interface style called Liquid Glass, revealed this week at the Worldwide Developers Conference, which transforms menus, apps and buttons into something of translucent jelly... with spunk.
