Logitech is debuting its new Signature Slim Solar+ K980 Keyboard today. Yes it is a solar keyboard, but it’s not quite like any other solar keyboard I have ever used. You never need to charge this one – just the ambient light in your space, natural or otherwise, will keep it juiced indefinitely.

Nintendo just hit us with one of the most epic September showcases in recent memory at the latest Direct, and now Sony is looking to get in on the action as it has just announced the next PlayStation State of Play.

Apple’s Find My tracking and even Google Find My Device tech to some degree is everywhere now – keychains, wallet cards, water bottles, flashlights, and now…laptop sleeves. Today Journey is debuting its new LOC8 Laptop Sleeve Universal – a “drop-proof” home to both protect and track your MacBook/laptop. It is also 20% off in the cart for launch day. Details below. 

Twelve South – one of our favorite Apple gear accessory makers – is ready to launch its all-new iPhone 17 cases. The brand is well known for its BookBook covers that present a sort of folio-style case made to look like a vintage book, and it has issued a new model for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. But this year it is also introducing a more minimalists, traditional, and clean case collection for Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup, alongside matching Apple Watch bands.

Amazon’s fall Prime Day sale has been officially revealed and is set to go live the second week of October, but the “biggest Target Circle Week yet” is looking to take it head on.

Corsair is following up Logitech’s G Pro X2 Superstrike launch with a new wireless mouse of its own – the Sabre V2 Pro. Unlike Logitech’s new model that packs in rapid trigger and haptic feedback tech, this one keeps things simple and focuses on weight. It’s an insanely lightweight mouse that weighs just 36 grams, making it one of the lightest gaming mice available for competitive gamers. The Sabre V2 Pro is now up for grabs in black and white colors, and you can score one now for $99.99 shipped. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Logitech has introduced a new ultra-light wireless gaming mouse, the G Pro X2 Superstrike, and it comes with a few tricks to stand out from the sea of other options out there.

It’s set to launch early next year at $179.99 shipped and will come in a black and white color scheme. Logitech has also introduced the new G Pro X Superlight 2C, which is now up for grabs at $159.99 shipped in three colors. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Just after the reveal of the Virtual Boy collection and some additions to the Switch Online GameCube and N64 libraries over the last couple months, Nintendo has announced a pair of new games coming to Nintendo Classics. This time around we are turning back to the handhelds titles with a pair of classic games for the Game Boy Advance lineup. 

Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 are now up for pre-order – scope out our hands-on review right here – and Nomad has now revealed its new leather case for the next-generation buds. I truly despise the look of a scratched up AirPods case – you certainly don’t want to have to deal with that if you ever want to trade them in for something new – and if I’m going to cover up the Apple design, I’m going to want to do it in style. Nomad makes some of the best leather accessories out there and the new Modern Leather Case for AirPods Pro 3 is now up for pre-order alongside its new iPhone 17 case lineup.

The new hardcover book is set for release in a couple months and is now available for pre-order at Amazon. 

If you were making a list of the best iPhone cases, Nomad would definitely be on it, and quite possibly at the very top. The new Leather Nomad iPhone 17 case lineup has arrived with a series of its beloved designs to match Apple’s new form-factor alongside a brand new Rugged model. These offerings also join its more sporty cases and the magnetic back case we featured last year. Proper camera buttons are at the ready on everything. Details below.

Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary for Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo is ready to celebrate. During today’s Direct presentation it debuted a ton of exciting updates and new releases for Mario’s 40th, including a new teaser trailer and confirmation of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Details below. 

Nintendo’s big September Direct is a wrap and it certainly did not disappoint for Mario’s big 40th anniversary. The first Super Mario Bros. game released almost exactly 40 years ago and Nintendo unsheathed this year’s celebration with a host of key announcements in the form of upgraded versions of beloved Mario classics, a new Switch 2 Edition of one of the best 2D Mario games of the modern era, the official announcement of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a new Yoshi game, the new Mario Tennis experience, and a even a talking flower. 

Today’s Nintendo Direct is a wrap and it has now announced the release date for its big holiday Switch 2 release – Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This is one of those games we knew about in an official capacity well before Switch 2 was even a thing, but it was also one of the more anticipated Switch 2 titles we knew about that didn’t have a release date…until now. 

Update 9/12: The new ASTRO BOT Joyful Limited Edition DualSense controller is now available for purchase at Walmart and Target, among others.

• Target ASTRO BOT Joyful Limited Edition

Update 9/12: Pre-orders for the new Astro Bot Joyful edition DualSense will go live this morning at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. PT directly from Sony, and we are expecting to see “participating” retailers with units as well. You’ll want to be ready ahead of the official start time if you’re going with direct.playstation.com – the virtual queue tends to open ahead of time.

Back in June Sony officially revealed a new edition of its beloved and equally as adorable Astro Bot DualSense controller. We got our first look at the new controller a few months back, but Sony has announced when you’ll actually be able to get your hands on one. 

Here we go! It’s Nintendo Direct day. Outside of the reveal and eventual release of Switch 2, today is arguably the biggest day of the year thus far for Nintendo gamers. Nintendo is set to host a massive Nintendo Direct livestream this morning, and it, by all accounts, looks like it’s going to be a big meaty one, filled with the new games and perhaps some big-time surprises. 

Nintendo Direct goes live this morning, and it’s going to be a big one folks. Nintendo has not been tight about livestream events in this the year of its new next-generation console, from three major dedicated showcases for its biggest new Switch 2 game releases, as well as an IndieWorld and a Partner Showcase that perhaps seemed worse then they were just because Silksong wasn’t in them. But Silksong has released, and we already have all the details and a release date on the new Kirby Air Riders – today’s show is going to be one of the biggest Nintendo Direct livestreams ever and the first proper showing since Switch 2 barely had a chance to touch down on store shelves before we all scooped them up.  

The first big animated Super Mario Bros. movie was beloved by just about everyone, and a major success for Nintendo. We already know it is officially in the lab on the sequel, or at least the next Mario movie, and with the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. just days away, we could be in for a major reveal. Considering tomorrow will see the biggest and longest proper Nintendo Direct basically ever, that reveal could be happening much sooner than later – right after leaks surfaced suggesting the next Mario movie is headed to the stars.

The previously revealed next-generation Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Speaker is now available for purchase. This launch lands on the same day its next-gen QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen buds officially go up for sale – here’s our hands-on review – and shortly after the debut of its brand new next-gen flagship QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. 

The next Nintendo Direct went official this morning. After months of rumors of an official, proper Direct showcase, it is finally on the slate. Nintendo has been cranking these things out faster and more frequent than ever since Switch 2 hit store shelves, but they have largely come in the form of dedicated showcases for specific titles and those Direct side quests: IndieWorld and Partner Showcase. This week though, we get the real deal. 

Not all leather iPhone cases are made equal and the SANDMARC lineup is the perfect example of that. Over the last couple years the brand has delivered some of the most gorgeous leather cases on the market, and I think it just upped its game again with the new iPhone 17 lineup.

And you can use code gadgetnewsonline at checkout to score a sweet launch deal.

The brand certainly delivers the usuals, but you’ll also find a moody Bronze Red this year as well as the usual and incredibly vibrant Monaco Blue. The 2025 iPhone 17 lineup consists of its wonderful and more minimalist Full Leather Case as well as the Full Leather Wallet Case with a built-in pocket around back and the newer Tone Case.

We’re only a week into September and LEGO has been keeping fans busy since releasing the new wave of building sets, with the exciting unveiling of the Star Wars 75419 UCS Death Star, as well as the newly confirmed Star Trek sets we’ll be getting in the future. Now, LEGO is once again ripping the (Christmas) veil off two new holiday sets joining the Winter Village collection in 2025: the 10361 Holiday Express Train and 41843 Family Christmas Tree sets! Head below to get the rundown on what to expect and browse the collected photos.

While we all eagerly await the rumored announcement of the September Nintendo Direct, we are also coming to realize this will be the first month without a single first-party Switch 2 release. Now clearly Hollow Knight: Silksong just broke the internet for a short time when it released last week, the eShop included, and that is frankly more than enough to keep most gamers busy all month long, but there are a host of other third-party games that have already and are still to land in September for Switch and Switch 2. 

After being leaked several months ago, with early renders surfacing online thereafter, LEGO has now officially confirmed the upcoming LEGO Star Trek set(s). Taking to its official Instagram feed this morning, LEGO has posted a short teaser video with a look at what has to be a Captain Picard minifig and text reading Coming Soon in Klingon. 

The 25W Qi2.2 MagSafe charging stands are beginning to emerge. We detailed the UGREEN 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 models already – there are even some early deals live on those right now – as well as the new Belkin 25W charging stands that can power your entire Apple kit, but perhaps the most impressive-looking of them all is the new Anker variant. Complete with an onboard display similar to those on its existing Prime charging gear, it is thus far a one-of-a-kind and the official Anker site has some additional details and imagery up now (as well as an early bird deal). 

Yesterday as part of its IFA reveals, Anker debuted its new Prime power family. Ranging from the new 26,250mAh 300W Power Bank through to the new 160W 3-Port Anker Prime Charger, and the impressive-looking new 3-in-1 25W Prime Wireless Charging Station with AirCool tech and the built-in display, just about all of it is set to release on September 29, 2025, and there are some notable promotions inbound. Anker site is promising 30% off as part of the early bird perks alongside a FREE laptop bag worth $70 on select purchases. Scope out the details below. 

This year’s IFA event in Berlin has already given us many new tech reveals, with a bunch of robotic lawn mowers showcased amongst them, but there’s one that is standing out amongst the crowd with its very unique concept design. Coming from MOVA’s sub-brand, NexLawn, we’ve been introduced to the Master X Series Concept, described as “the first robotic mower with a fully functional mechanical arm.” What’s more, this arm isn’t being planned to limit itself only to mowing-related jobs, with more versatility thanks to interchangeable attachments – including pet interactions too! Head below to learn more about this ambitious robot.

Anker’s IFA showing this year has been rather noteworthy, from AI-powered voice recorders, super new higher-power portable battery solutions, and its new 25W MagSafe charging stand with an onboard display, but it’s new MagGo Prime Wireless Car Charger seems to be slipping under the radar a bit. Featuring 25W of juice, and among the first MagSafe car charger to do so, it is now confirmed for an upcoming release and is eligible for the early-bird discounts we featured this morning.
