Available through the gaming-focused Logitech G sub-brand, the keyboard is available now for $179 in a choice of two GX optical switch types (tactile or linear) and three colors (black, white, or pink).Positioned as a compact follow-up to Logitech’s G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, the Pro X 60 includes many of the same features. Users get three connectivity options: wired, using the included six-foot USB-C to USB-C charging cable, or wireless via Bluetooth or Logitch’s Lightspeed dongle, with the latter providing a polling rate of 1000Hz.One key difference is that, unlike the Pro X TKL, the Pro X 60 isn’t...

Image: Apple This morning, remembering I’d forgotten to order eclipse glasses, I wondered out loud: Would it be an absolutely awful idea to watch today’s solar eclipse on the Apple Vision Pro? I’m extremely not a camera expert, but I seem to recall that pointing a camera at the sun is bad. However, online answers vary widely, so I put the question to The Verge’s Emmy-winning senior video producer Becca Farsace.Her answer was that the Vision Pro is expensive; it has a lot of cameras; and it isn’t worth the risk. She added: “Wes, you are a free soul! you can do whatever you please, but if I saw this on the internet I would be so mad that someone who spent that much money was out there doing this.”She’s right; I am a free soul! Challenge accepted,... Continue reading…

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images Elon Musk admitted that his posts on the platform formerly known as Twitter may have financially harmed the company in the long run, in a March 27th deposition made public on Monday by The Huffington Post. The billionaire also admitted to have a “limited understanding” of the lawsuit for which he was being deposed. The 22-year old Ben Brody sued Musk for defamation last fall, alleging that Musk pushed a conspiracy theory that falsely identified Brody as being involved in a fight between two far-right groups in Oregon. Musk’s attorney filed multiple requests to keep the transcript of his nearly two-hour testimony confidential, but they were denied by the judge. At one point, Musk is asked by Brody’s attorney, Mark Bankston, about his... Continue reading…

A great CPU is at the heart of any PC, giving life to the various components that make everything work. It's one of the most important components of a PC, and you can't have a working computer without it. Picking the right CPU for your build is only half the battle, and you also need to get its installation right to ensure everything works smoothly without any issues. Installing a CPU may seem a bit daunting at first, but it is a fairly simple task that only takes a few minutes.

AMD's Ryzen 5 8500G processor belongs to the same family as the Ryzen 5 8600G and the Ryzen 7 8700G processors, both of which are two of our favorite budget-friendly CPUs out there right now. The Ryzen 5 8500G is a bit different from the other two chips mentioned above, as it uses AMD's budget Phoenix 2 die. It blends two Zen 4 cores with four energy-efficient Zen 4c cores, and has the same 65W TDP. But unlike the Ryzen 3 8300G — which is only available to OEMs — the Ryzen 5 8500G is available on the market for anyone to get their hands on it.

The SwitchBot K10 Plus robot vacuum now works with Matter. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge This week, SwitchBot announced that almost its entire line of smart home devices can now work with Matter through its SwitchBot Hub 2. This includes its mini K10 Plus robot vacuum — one of The Verge’s picks for best robot vacuum — as well as the soon-to-be-launched SwitchBot S10. Along with Ecovacs’ recently launched Deebot X2 Combo and Roborock’s S8 Max Ultra V (coming April 22nd), there are now a handful of robot vacuums that support Matter. The problem is that none of the smart home platforms support robot vacuums through Matter. This chicken-and-egg situation is characteristic of the overall frustrations of the Matter rollout to date. Robot vacuums, in particular, are a category many were excited to see come to Matter. Smart home... Continue reading…

By now, you might have heard about Thunderbolt 5, which has finally made its debut in 2024. The first laptop to include Thunderbolt 5 support is the Razer Blade 18, but we're bound to see more later this year, and it's a big deal for laptop owners.

Artificial intelligence can help you with a little bit of everything, from writing code to planning meals. The great thing about using AI in 2024 is that it's incredibly easy to get started, and more importantly, it's free. Chances are, you've played around with a great AI chatbot by now, whether it was ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini. These chatbots cost nothing and are simple to use, with ChatGPT no longer requiring an account for access, for instance. But the companies behind each of these services want you to think you need the advanced features and exclusive benefits of their paid tiers. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google all offer AI subscriptions for $20 per month, and they all come with unique AI tools. If you think your needs might have outgrown the free tiers of these services, we're going to take a look at what premium features each one offers and whether it's worth your money.

Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Owners of Intel’s latest 13th and 14th Gen Core i9 desktop processors have been noticing an increase in game crashes in recent months. It’s happening in games like The Finals, Fortnite, and Tekken 8, and has even led Epic Games to issue a support notice to encourage Intel Core i9 13900K and 14900K owners to adjust BIOS settings.Now, Intel says it’s investigating the reports. “Intel is aware of problems that occur when executing certain tasks on 13th and 14th generation core processors for desktop PCs, and is analyzing them with major affiliates,” says an Intel spokesperson in a statement to ZDNet Korea.The crashes vary in severity depending on the game, with some titles producing an “out of memory” error, others simply exiting out to...

Image: Bungie Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion has a lot riding on it. It’s the culmination of a 10-year story and the conclusion of Destiny’s light and darkness saga. After a four-month delay, fans haven’t really seen much of The Final Shape, but today, Bungie delivered a preview of what’s to come. The teaser left me thinking that Destiny 2 is about to feel very different — and very broken — as players will be able to wield Light and Darkness abilities together for the first time ever.A new Prismatic Subclass merges the powers of the Light and Darkness, allowing players to combine certain class abilities from different damage types. So you could throw a Stasis grenade into a stack of enemies to freeze them and then use a Solar ability to wipe... Continue reading…
