Logitech Mice for Multi-Computer Use

Logitech announces a pair of flagship wireless mice-- the MX Master 2S and MX Anywhere 2S, both featuring support for the new Flow software, allowing users to control up to 3 PCs using one mouse.

"One computer used to be enough, but we’ve moved into an era where roughly one in 10 people are working across multiple computers at the same time," the company claims. “Using multiple computers can help you avoid distractions and speed up processor-intensive operations, but working across multiple computers can be a hassle... With Flow and a new MX mouse, you can enhance your productivity-- for instance, copying and pasting files from one computer to another-- helping you become more precise and focused in the multi-computer world.”

The T1 Race is covered in polyurethane (aka synthetic) leather, with PU leather pillows adding neck and lumbar support. The arm rests can be raised, lowered, shifted and swiveled, while the seat tilts by up to 10 degrees and reclines completely, meaning one can sleep in it.

The PowerUp USB-C Charger/Hub Combo

The PowerUp is a 3rd party solution for an issue familiar to any owner of a laptop featuring only USB-C ports such as the latest MacBook Pro, namely adding more ports while charging the device.

Designed by startup Homey Lab, the PowerUp is a charger roughly the same size and shape of the old Apple MagSafe bricks. It has a built-in USB-C cable together with three USB 3.0 ports, adding more legacy ports without need for dongles.

Interestingly, while the PowerUp is technically a charger it still operates as a USB hub even if not connected to mains power. It offers 72W power output, meaning it can charge 12-inch MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro at full speed but will be a bit slow if charging with the 15-inch MacBook, which uses an 87W charger.

Razer Launches Lancehead Mice

Razer announces a pair of gaming mice-- the Lancehead and Lancehead Tournament Edition, both featuring an identical ambidextrous design, mechanical switches and 16000 DPI 5G sensors.

The Lancehead is the wireless option of the two, featuring what Razer claims is "revolutionary" Adaptive Frequency Technology (AFT) to ensure fast and stable wireless communication between mouse and PC. AFT connects on the strongest frequencies within the 2.4GHz band, and switches frequences when necessary to reduce lag. Battery life promises to reach 24 hours on a single charge.

On the other hand the Lancehead Tournament Edition is the same mouse, only featuring a wired connection to push 450 inchis per second (IPS)/50G acceleration. The 7-foot braided cable carries both data and power and, obviously, it needs no batteries.

The SteelSeries

Accessory maker SteelSeries announces what it claims is "the world's first dual-surface RGB illuminated mousepad"-- the QcK Prism, a mousepad featuring a dual-textured reversible surface, as well as the obligatory LED lighting.

The "dual-surface" portion of the above claim comes via insert users can flip to choose between either a hard polymer surface (for fast-paced gaming) or micro-textured cloth (for extra control). SteelSurface says one can insert some of its QcK and Dex pads in the Prism base, but separately supplied mousing surfaces might not fit due to 1-5mm manufacturing tolerances.
