As someone who’s used a lot of gaming keyboards, I can tell you that the worst aspect of PC gaming accessories is often the software. Having to run an extra RAM-sucking program in the background is never fun, but the UI and basic functionality of these apps often leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully, Corsair is now making that optional—at least some of the time—with
Yesterday, Microsoft rolled out a new batch of security updates for several of its apps and operating systems, including KB5055523 for Windows 11 24H2 and
Keyboards are kinda my thing. I review them, I build them, I occasionally even use them to type up computer news. And I was very impressed by 8BitDo’s first attempt at a mechanical keyboard.

I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately, so I decided to build a little web chat app inspired by Yahoo! Messenger. Right now it’s got group chat rooms. Super simple setup, no email required to register. You can create your own room or hop into one that’s already open.
