Fujitsu released a new edition of their Happy Hacking Keyboard, a "cult classic" keyboard that's remained largely the same for over 20 years. The newest round of "HHKB" models are called HHKB Pro 3, and they come in three different versions. There's the HHKB Pro 3 Classic, HHKB Pro 3 HYBRID, and HHKB Pro 3 HYBRID Type-S. New accessories were also shown, including wrist rests, tablet/phone stands with travel bags, a protective lid, and a carrying case bundle.

On November 6, 2019, Razer revealed two new gaming mouse devices, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate, and the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed. These gaming mice were also wireless, working with the company's own branded "Razer HypeSpeed" technology that they suggested was "25% faster than any other wireless gaming technologies." Razer also suggested that these mice had the lowest click latency with said Razer HyperSpeed tech onboard, with "improved Adaptive Frequency Hopping" to boot.

Given how much time we spend with our hands on a keyboard and mouse, it's no surprise that people take peripherals seriously, and it's just that audience that Logitech is targeting with its new MX Master 3 range. The MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse and MX Keys keyboard are the fifth generation of the accessory-maker's MX-series, and while you may think getting text and cursor control right would be straightforward, it turns out keeping peripheral-enthusiasts happy is harder than it seems.

Today the "leading global lifestyle brand for gamers" Razer launched a program they called Razer Customs. This system was launched by Razer's official website "offering exclusive case designs for a range of popular smartphones." If you've been following mobile tech news for the past few years, you might already be able to guess the twist, here - or you might not believe it could be true, but... Razer Customs works with a range of phones, includes iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and even a Huawei phone, but not Razer's own Razer Phone.

I don't often write about car chargers for smartphones, largely because the technology just... doesn't change all that often. Since the last time I wrote about a car charger, a significant amount's changed - enough that it makes sense to point out a product from a brand that I've come to trust over the past half-decade via their Apple MFI Certifications, top-notch industrial design, and long-lasting materials.

This week the folks at Razer made good on another April Fool's Day joke gone viral. They originally supposed that a gaming company making products outside the peripheral/accessory realm was laughable - but given the products they've announced over the past several weeks, it would seem they've been proven wrong. The first of the products in this realm is the energy drink called Respawn.

This morning the folks at Razer released the latest version of their Lancehead Wireless ambidextrous mouse. This new version of the mouse has a top-notch 16,000 True DPI 5G optical sensor. This is not the first time this sensor's been applied to a Razer mouse - it's the first time this sensor's been bestowed upon this particularly versatile mouse.

A set of new peripherals for Razer fans popped up today with full-on Stormtrooper regalia. There's a new mouse, there's a new keyboard, and there's a new MASSIVE mouse mat. Each of these items was decorated with Lucasfilm-approved graphics, black and white, all in a suite. They're the same as they were before, only now they're better, because they look, all... stormtrooper-like.

The Razer BlackWidow 2019 is a slight redesign of the classic keyboard with adjustments to bring the price down for the masses. This keyboard rolls with Chroma lighting as well as an 80-million keystroke lifespan, so you know its colorful and long-lasting as such. The Razer BlackWidow 2019 is one of a collection of accessories given a reboot this week by the gaming company.

The folks at Razer adjusted the way they're delivering several accessories for gamers, in headphones, keyboards, and mice. The headphones part of this equation is the 2019 edition of the Razer Kraken. This set of headphones - a headset, as it were - rolls with a look that's very similar to the more expensive Kraken Tournament Edition, but comes with slightly lesser features in order to deliver a less expensive piece of hardware.

The Razer BlackWidow keyboard, Kraken headset, and Basilisk Essential are all reboots of their most recent predecessors. Each of these three peripherals brings the look and the feel of their predecessors to a slightly less expensive package. For those users that wish to get the nearly-most-basic Razer experience in gaming accessories, this might be your newest best bet.

The Ergo Kiwi is the best ergonomically-sound X-ACTO blade knife that I've ever used. And I've used a lot. I've used every sort of blade from the most basic $6 metal original-brand knife to the rubbery silicone of the X2000 (my favorite up until now). The Ergo Kiwi is the first 3rd-party craft knife holder (base for X-ACTO knives) that I've been able to use for more than one project - nothing else really made the grade, so to speak.
