It’s new mice season for Logitech. Having recently released its MX Anywhere 3 and MX Master for Mac, the peripheral-maker is adding the Ergo M575 Wireless Trackball to its Ergo Series lineup.

Startup Backbone’s inaugural product, an app-integrated game controller for the iPhone that the company considers more a “gaming content creation tool” than the typical run-jump-crouch-shoot accessory, has a very well-thought out design and novel feature set that raises the bar for its category. Like the Razer Kishi, the $99 Backbone One expands to slip on either end of the iPhone …

Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro could soon be getting smaller. According to a Bloomberg report on Monday, the company is looking at making a smaller version of the popular wireless earbuds that ditches the “stem” that protrudes from the bottom of the buds.
