Whirlwind FX’s Atom 60%-size mechanical gaming keyboard isn’t too different from other similarly sized options. The compact build is a space saver, great if you need extra mousing room while you game. It’ll also slide easily into a backpack for travel (it has a removable braided USB-C cable to help with that, too). The company …

It’s been over a year since we retreated to our homes for a pandemic-driven steady diet of video meetings, and only a little less time since we realized how bad some of the webcams in our laptops really are. So it’s a little surprising that it’s taken so long for some accessory-makers to jump into the fray. Anker’s PowerConf C300 …

Years ago, the tech industry used to joke that Apple and its co-founder Steve Jobs had a “reality distortion field,” some special magic that made people lust after their products. The devices may have good software, the criticism would go, but underneath it’s just the same parts with a glossy finish and higher price tag. Fast forward to Tuesday, and …

Anker’s joining the parade of companies retrofitting its product lines to accommodate the new home-conferencing economy — Microsoft’s Modern Home is among the latest — with its AnkerWork brand. The new line incorporates the forthcoming PowerConf S500 small-room speakerphone and the just-released $130 (£119) PowerConf C300 webcam, a Full HD 60fps model with a smartly executed ability to keep you …

Gamers are always in search of the perfect gaming mouse, which explains why there’s an enormous industry of lightweight mice, mice with lots of buttons, symmetric ambidextrous mice and customizable mice that come with spare weights for tweaking the balance. Rising above all that noise, though, is the iconic DeathAdder series of gaming mice, a clear favorite among esports gamers. …

Maybe it’s the increase in people working from home. Or maybe gamers are just growing tired of large, command-center-style keyboards. Whatever the reason, 60% gaming keyboards — a subcategory with a footprint about, you guessed it, 60% as big as a full-size keyboard — are more plentiful than they were last year. That’s why Corsair adding the compact K65 RGB …

Audio glasses are quickly becoming a thing. Last year Bose followed its original Frames with three second-generation models, including the sporty Tempo Fames, and Amazon is selling the second-generation of its Echo Frames while plenty of others, like Razer, are now jumping in on the “smart” glasses action. The Razer Anzer, which comes in round and square versions in two …

The $200 (£200) Kiyo Pro is Razer’s second shot at a webcam, and the first that feels at all worth recommending. The original Kiyo (which remains available for $135) is clunky with just-OK quality and a built-in ring light that seemed like a good idea at the time; it isn’t really bright enough to make a dent in the types …

Even though Razer’s laptops are generally built for gaming, we regularly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-performance Windows laptop with MacBook-like design and build quality. The Razer Book 13 takes the Razer design we love but skips the gaming vibe altogether (well, almost) and aims for office and school use instead.  Not that you couldn’t open up a …

Nov 2021 Editor’s note, Nov. 19: The Razer Viper 8K Hz mouse levels up the company’s already excellent Viper esports mouse line with new high-speed polling technology that ultimately delivers better performance where it counts. That’s why we’ve given it a CNET Editors’ Choice Award. Our original review, first published in January, follows. Razer levels up its Viper Ultimate gaming …
