WiCi is developing the first commercial wireless eGPU, the WiCi One, which connects an RTX 5060 Ti to laptops over Wi-Fi 7 at $1,999.

The Turtle Beach Rematch is a wireless Switch 2 controller featuring Nintendo-inspired RGB-lit designs, responsive gameplay, and never-drift TMR thumbsticks.

The controller's standout appeal lies in its cute aesthetic with officially licensed character designs.
Beats has released the Beats 360, a $350 over-ear headphone model featuring customizable interchangeable ear and headband cushions in over 250 color combinations.

Beats 360 headphones feature a true wireless design with independent batteries and processing in each earcup, connected by a power-management cable rather than traditional audio cabling. This architecture eliminates the need for a charging case and ensures synchronized power management between the two sides.
