Turtle Beach has released the Afterglow Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 2, a transparent gamepad with adjustable RGB lighting priced at $65. The controller includes TMR thumbsticks with a drift-free guarantee, mappable rear paddles, up to 30 feet of wireless range, and USB-C charging, and is similar in size to Nintendo's own Pro Controller.
Tom's Hardware's review of the Gamemax RGB PRO 750G, a 750W ATX 3.1/PCIe 5.1 modular power supply, found 90.8% average efficiency at 230 VAC and good ripple performance from its Sohoo-made platform. However, at $105 it costs more than comparable units like the MSI MAG A750GL and Corsair RM750e, despite offering what the review calls a mediocre overall package aside from its RGB lighting.
Turtle Beach has released the Rematch Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 2, available in Nintendo-themed designs including a Rosalina edition with RGB lighting, plus an all-black model. The controller includes offset thumbsticks, motion controls, TMR anti-drift sticks, remappable back buttons, a dedicated GameChat button, and a rechargeable battery rated at 40 hours (12 with RGB on) with a 30-foot wireless range.
Xiaomi has detailed the Smart Privacy Display on its upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro series, which alternates standard wide-angle pixels with narrow-angle pixels fitted with microscopic baffles in a 1:1 ratio. When privacy mode is switched on, the standard pixels turn off so only the baffled pixels emit light, cutting visible brightness to about 1% for viewers beyond 60 degrees. The feature can be activated through Quick Settings, the AI key, voice commands, app or page rules, location triggers, or automatic detection of someone looking over your shoulder via the front camera.
Corsair is selling a 32GB DDR5-6200 Vengeance RAM kit for $419.99, and a slower DDR5-5600 RGB variant for $409.99, both currently the lowest prices available for 32GB DDR5 memory. The kits use two 16GB modules with aluminum heat spreaders, and the cheaper option adds adjustable RGB lighting but runs at reduced speed and looser timings.
OpenRGB, an open-source project, has reached its 1.0 release, offering a single lightweight application to control RGB lighting from multiple manufacturers instead of juggling separate proprietary apps. It runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS, and has been tested across x86, x86_64, Arm32 and Arm64 hardware including Raspberry Pi devices. The software is released under the GNU General Public License v2 and includes a network-based SDK for third-party integrations.
After previously repairing a dead NZXT Signal 4K30 capture device by fixing a bad solder joint, the author found one HDMI source that produced garbled green and pink video during testing. The symptom matches an RGB/YUV colorspace mismatch and had already been reported by other users capturing from a PS5 and Nintendo Switch on Reddit. Since NZXT appears to have discontinued the product, the author decided to investigate the bug themselves using AI-assisted reverse engineering rather than contacting the company.
Corsair's Scimitar RGB Elite mouse is now available for $49.99, a 44% discount that matches its lowest price since Prime Day. The mouse features 17 programmable buttons, including a 12-button side panel aimed at MMO players, along with customizable RGB lighting.
Walmart is offering physical preorders of the upcoming Switch 2 remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for $59.88, undercutting other retailers by $10 and matching the digital price. The remake, due November 5, 2026, includes overhauled graphics, a free camera, a new navigation aid called Threads of Time, and a dedicated jump button for Link.
Unico has unveiled the Traveller ULW10, a 10-inch 4:3 CRT-style monitor built for retro gaming consoles, featuring a hidden rear compartment to stash hardware out of sight. The display supports RGB SCART, VGA, and HDMI inputs but notably omits composite video due to internal space constraints, and it can digitally emulate CRT and pixel-art visual effects despite not being a true CRT. It will launch via Kickstarter in three colorways, with pricing still unannounced.
Corsair is offering discounts of up to 23% on its Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 memory kits in 32GB and 64GB capacities. The 64GB kit uses four 16GB modules running at DDR5-6400 with 32-40-40-84 timings and 1.4V, while the 32GB kit shares the same specs and comes in white, black, and RGB variants. All kits support Intel XMP and are backed by Corsair's limited lifetime warranty.
At IFA 2026, AWOL Vision introduced the LuxVision, an ultra-short-throw projector it claims is the first to combine native 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and optical lens shift. The unit uses an RGB triple-laser light source rated at 6,000 ISO lumens and a 0.18:1 throw ratio, letting it cast a 120-inch image from just 7.5 inches away, with screen sizes scaling up to 200 inches. It ships around October starting at $6,499.
