Keychron has launched the G3 wireless gaming mouse, a 44g ultra-lightweight peripheral featuring the PixArt PAW3950 sensor. The mouse is available in two material configurations: a cheaper translucent polycarbonate and a more expensive carbon fiber version. Both variants use identical internal hardware and support polling rates up to 8000Hz.

The G3 (via TechPowerUp) features a symmetrical chassis and Huano Transparent Shell White Dot mechanical switches, rated for 120 million clicks. Technical specifications for the PixArt 3950 sensor include a maximum sensitivity of 30,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 750IPS, and support for up to 50Gs of acceleration. Connectivity is provided via a tri-mode system supporting 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, and USB-C wired.

Power is supplied by a 500mAh battery, which Keychron claims provides up to 160 hours of operation in Bluetooth mode at a 125Hz polling rate. When using the 2.4GHz connection, battery life is rated at 140 hours at 1000Hz and 37 hours at the maximum 8000Hz setting. The carbon fibre model features a black finish with orange accents, while the translucent version combines with pastel purple ones.

The internal hardware includes a high-speed Nordic 52840 MCU to manage the 8K polling performance. While both models weigh 44g, the carbon fibre version uses a composite top shell paired with an ABS base to maintain structural rigidity. The two mouse variants are available now: the translucent version at $84.99 and the carbon fibre version at $109.99.

KitGuru says: Of the two G3 mouse variants, which one do you like the most?

CPS PCCooler has launched the TR620M X, a relatively compact dual-tower air cooler with a single fan. However, that single fan can spin up to 5000RPM, faster than most other PC cooling fans on the market. 

According to ITHome, the heatsink measures 115x106x94mm and uses a pure-copper, nickel-plated, reflow-soldered base. The same source states that the heatsink towers are treated with an anti-oxidation spray coating and utilise six 6mm heat pipes to transfer the thermal energy generated by the CPU.

Airflow is provided by a single fan (100x100x25) equipped with a Japanese NMB dual ball bearing. The fan operates at a maximum speed of 5000±10%RPM, delivering a maximum airflow of 105.42CFM and a static pressure of 11.85mmH2O. These figures, as you'd expect, come with a pretty high noise level, up to 45.66dB(A).

According to the official product description, the TR620M X supports a wide range of mainstream workstation platforms. Compatibility includes Intel LGA3647 (narrow type) and 4677, as well as AMD sTRX4, sWRX8, TR4, SP3, TR5, SP5, and SP6. The TR620M X is currently available in China for 439 yuan (£48), with an initial launch price of 339 yuan (£37). Availability outside the Chinese market has not yet been provided.

KitGuru says: For the general consumer, something like the PCCooler TR620M X cooler may be a bit too loud. However, if you don't mind the noise, it should offer a good amount of performance. 

Thermaltake has expanded its sim‑racing hardware lineup with two new additions, the XRW‑G1 GT Steering Wheel and the XRP‑L1 Loadcell Pedal Set, aimed at enthusiasts who want even greater configuration over controls in competitive racing games.

The XRW‑G1 GT Steering Wheel uses a 300mm GT‑style layout built from CNC‑machined aluminium, carbon fibre and reinforced polymer. A 5‑inch integrated touchscreen provides access to RPM data, flags and other race information. Surrounding it is a full control array that includes backlit buttons, toggle switches, rotary encoders, thumb encoders and two multi‑directional “funky switches” for menu navigation and quick adjustments.

Magnetic carbon‑fibre paddle shifters are included, and RGB indicators provide visual cues for RPM and system status. The wheel works with Thermaltake’s steel‑ball quick‑release adapter (sold separately) for fast swaps across compatible wheelbases.

The XRP‑L1 Loadcell Pedal Set is built around a CNC‑machined aluminium structure designed to minimise flex under heavy braking. The throttle pedal uses a 16‑bit Hall Effect sensor with adjustable throw and spring preload, while the brake pedal is driven by a 200kg load cell with interchangeable springs and rubber dampers for tuning resistance and feel. Pedal angles can be adjusted in 5‑degree increments, and the set includes stainless‑steel mounting brackets for a range of cockpit layouts.

We don't have pricing yet, but both products will be available across Europe, the US and other regions starting soon.

KitGuru Says: Are you a fan of racing sims? Are you considering an upgrade to any of Thermaltake's new gear?

Alienware has launched the AW2726DM, a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor that's most likely the cheapest OLED-type panel in the market. However, as you might expect, it has some limitations, most obviously in its brightness output.

The Alienware AW2726DM (via NotebookCheck) features a QHD resolution of 2560×1440 and a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz. Aimed at the budget-friendly segment, the monitor features a 3-year warranty that covers OLED burn-in. The QD-OLED panel is rated for a typical brightness of 200 nits, peaking at 400 nits in HDR mode. The display provides a 0.03ms response time and 99% DCI-P3 coverage. The 10-bit colour depth panel supports HDR content, but it's not VESA-certified. For a tear-free experience, the monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium, though official G-Sync compatibility is not listed in the specifications.

Connectivity consists of one DisplayPort 1.4 port, which is required to achieve the full 240Hz refresh rate at 1440p. Two HDMI 2.1 ports are also provided, supporting native resolutions up to 120Hz. A dedicated headphone jack is integrated into the chassis for audio output.

The AW2726DM features a minimalist black design without RGB lighting. The included stand offers ergonomic adjustments for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot. To manage thermal performance and mitigate the risk of permanent image retention, the panel is equipped with a graphite-film heatsink. The monitor is available now for $349.99.

KitGuru says: It's surprising to see the cheapest QD-OLED monitor coming from a brand such as Alienware. Still, with a price tag like that, it is hard to imagine other monitor makers won't follow suit with more midrange OLED offerings.

Intel hasn't yet officially confirmed that its upcoming Nova Lake-S desktop processors will be branded as the Core Ultra 400 series. However, a new report claims that the name is already set. The “Series 4” architecture is expected to feature Coyote Cove P-cores and Arctic Wolf E-cores.

According to VideoCardz, the documents they had access to indicate support for DDR5 memory speeds up to 8000MT/s, including ECC, CUDIMM, and CSODIMM compatibility. These same documents state that the platform uses a Socket V design and is specifically marked for forward socket compatibility across multiple generations. Moreover, processing power is complemented by the Intel NPU 6 and a unified integrated graphics block featuring two Xe3 GPU cores across all desktop packages.

The roadmap also details the connectivity features, which include integrated Wi-Fi 7, Low Energy Audio, and two Thunderbolt 5 ports. The platform supports 24 PCIe Gen5 lanes from the CPU, enabling discrete graphics over an x16 link and up to three x4 PCIe 5.0 links from the chipset. In the documents, Intel notes support for up to eight SSDs across PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 interfaces and the ability to drive four independent displays.

As per VideoCardz, Intel plans five distinct desktop die packages, all of which feature 4x LPE cores. These five packages include an 8-core, a 16-core, two 28-core (one with bLLC cache), and a 52-core (dual-die with bLLC cache). The packages are divided across multiple SKUs, ranging from 6-core to 52-core designs. Product segmentation spans 35W, 65W, 125W, and 175W TDPs. The 175W bracket consists of 52-core and 44-core variants, while the remainder of the stack follows the Core Ultra naming conventions: 9, 7, 5, and 3. A graphics-disabled GT0 variant, MS2KF, is also included in the preliminary list below:

Mass production of Intel Nova Lake-S processors is reportedly scheduled for Q4 2026.

KitGuru says: Of all the Nova Lake-S SKUs in the preliminary list, which one looks the most interesting?

Cities: Skylines series might finally have a rival. 1:1 Studio has announced its debut title, City Masterplan, a city-builder focused on 1:1 scale construction across 24x24km maps. The game is currently listed on Steam without a release date, but we know it's built on Unreal Engine 5.

Unlike most city-builders, City Masterplan will move away from traditional grid-based construction, allowing players to place roads and buildings without rigid constraints. Also, the developer promises a realistic traffic simulation and supply chains, a dynamic environment system, various architectural styles complemented by advanced PCG (Procedural Content Generation) technology, and iconic buildings with real dimensions.

The system requirements published on the game's store page are quite high, but not completely surprising for a city-builder such as this. Minimum specifications for processor and GPU are currently listed as “Pending”, but it's known that you'll need at least 16GB of memory and 60GB of storage. As for the recommended requirements, it states 32GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 or an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D or an Intel Core i7-12700K.

The game's release date hasn't been announced yet, but those interested can wishlist it on Steam.

Microsoft has begun removing Copilot AI branding and icons from the latest versions of Notepad and Snipping Tool in Windows 11. Following reports of negative user sentiment, the company has rebranded AI-driven features such as rewrite and summarise as “Writing tools” and paused the forced inclusion of AI buttons across its core application suite.

According to Windows Latest, the transition follows an update in March 2025 that initially integrated Copilot directly into Notepad for text summaries and rewrites. These integrations were generally not well received by users, leading to significant negative feedback about Microsoft pushing AI to users who didn't want it. The latest software revisions restore the standard appearance of these applications by removing the persistent Copilot icon.

Microsoft has confirmed that while the AI-assisted functionality remains accessible, features such as summarisation are now listed under a generic “Writing tools” menu. The company has also paused the mandatory deployment of Copilot buttons across all applications, citing minimal user interest in the forced integration. This adjustment occurs as Microsoft continues to manage approximately 80 different Copilot-related apps and services.

In addition to the UI changes, Microsoft is reportedly working on performance and security enhancements for Windows 11 that we expect to see being deployed on Insider builds in the near future.

Keychron has published a GitHub repository containing CAD files for its hardware designs, effectively making its keyboards and mice open-source hardware. The collection provides the community with access to 3D models and 2D plate files, enabling users to produce or modify enclosures and internal components using 3D printing or CNC milling.

First reported by Noteboocheck, Keychron has published a GitHub repository with most of its hardware designs. These repositories include STEP and DXF files, which are compatible with CAD software such as FreeCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD. The available designs cover a comprehensive range of components, including keycaps, keyboard housings, buttons, plates, mouse shells, and stabiliser housings.

Access to the files is managed through the Keychron website. Users select a specific hardware model from a menu and complete a checkout process to receive the download links. Keychron states that while these files are publicly accessible, the license prohibits their use for commercial purposes.

Although there are already plenty of model files available for download, some newer releases, like the Q Ultra series, are not. However, it seems Keychron is still adding more models, so we might see the missing ones at a later date.

KitGuru says: Do you think other peripheral brands should make their hardware designs open source? Will you consider this the next time you buy a peripheral?
