Computex 2026: Cougar shows off huge range of new hardware

6 June 2026 at 09:00

In our latest Computex video, we check out a huge range of new hardware coming from Cougar, from new gaming sit/stand desk options, to new AIOs, cases and peripherals.

Watch via YouTube below:

Cougar's chassis range expands with the NU 700 full‑tower and NU 500 mid‑tower, both supporting E‑ATX, SSI‑EEB and CEB motherboards alongside dual‑GPU layouts. The NU 700 accommodates two PSUs and up to dual 360mm or a single 420mm radiator, while the NU 500 supports a front‑mounted 360mm unit. As you may expect, both of these are positioned towards the workstation market, rather than for gamers.

Cougar is also introducing the Duoair series, which shifts the PSU to the front to create a vertical intake path for airflow. The CFV220 goes in a different direction, adding a Central Flow Vent chamber, triple‑glass side panels and compatibility with reverse‑connector motherboards, making it ideal for a showcase gaming build.

In cooling, Cougar unveiled the LQX Pro 360 and LQX Elite 360 AIOs, both using VRX PWM fans. The Pro model integrates a 3.95‑inch 720×720 IPS display and a VRM fan, while the Elite version replaces the screen with a frosted ARGB panel. Air‑cooling options include the FRZ 612 dual‑tower and FRZ 412 ARGB single‑tower coolers, each with a digital temperature display, plus the display‑free FRZ 412 Elite ARGB.

Cougar’s PSU lineup now scales up to 3200W with the WS 3200, 2400, 2000 and 1600 models, all ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant with up to four 12V‑2×6 connectors. The Polar V2 series introduces a compact 150mm frame, while the PV series offers 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.

The furniture range includes the Arker chair with a steel frame and extendable footrest, the Speeder Elite mesh chair with full ergonomic adjustments, and the suede‑style Fusion EX. Cougar is also showing the E‑Ares 160 sit‑stand desk and the fixed‑height Ares 160, both using a carbon‑fibre laminate surface.

Finally for peripherals, Cougar has the new 58g Revenger Pro 8K mouse with a 30,000 DPI Pixart sensor and the Phaze 8K wired 98% keyboard, which features an 8K polling rate, 4K scan rate and magnetic switches.

Boulies Aura Chair Review

16 March 2026 at 12:23

The Boulies Aura enters the competitive office chair market with a £270 price tag, promising a blend of clean, modern design and ergonomic comfort. Featuring a highly adjustable frame, cold-cured foam, and breathable fabric, it looks like a solid ergonomic investment on paper. But does this extensive list of adjustments actually translate into a comfortable, supportive experience for long hours of work and gaming?

09:36 Closing thoughts

Specifications:

  • Upholstery: Boulies NUO Breathable Fabric.
  • Seat Cushion: Upgraded Cold-Cured Foam.
  • Adjustability: Seat height (46-56cm), seat depth (49.5-54cm), backrest height (71-77.5cm), and lumbar support.
  • Armrests: 3D adjustable (height (64-81.5cm), depth, and angle).
  • Recline: 3-level multi-tilt mechanism (95°, 113°, 135°).
  • Hydraulics & Base: Class 4 Gas Lift with Heavy-duty Engineering Plastic Base.
  • Casters: 6cm PU casters.

Closing Thoughts

The Boulies Aura is a highly competent office chair that excels in its sheer level of adjustability. Being able to tweak the seat depth, backrest height, lumbar support, and armrests makes it incredibly easy to dial in a customized fit for long productivity or gaming sessions. The plush cold-cured foam and breathable fabric make it a comfortable place to sit, and the remarkably easy 20-minute solo assembly process is a massive bonus for anyone dreading flat-pack furniture.

However, it is not without a few quirks. Smaller users (under 1.75m) may find the seat depth a bit too long even on the shortest setting, and the armrests do not naturally go low enough for competitive gamers who like to sit flush against their desk—though reversing the armrests works as a clever, easy workaround. Add in some minor plastic-on-plastic creaking during adjustments and a black fabric that acts as a magnet for pet hair, and it loses a tiny bit of its premium luster. Overall, if the £270 price fits your budget and you need a highly customizable ergonomic chair, the Aura is a very solid choice that is built to last.

You can buy the Boulies Aura for £269.99 HERE.

Pros:

  • Good amount of ergonomic adjustability (seat depth, lumbar, backrest).
  • Very comfortable cold-cured foam seat for long sessions.
  • Quick and easy solo assembly (under 20 minutes).
  • Highly repairable and customizable (armrests can be easily unscrewed and reversed if you want them lower and further back).

Cons:

  • Minimum seat depth might be slightly too long for users under 1.75m.
  • Minor plastic creaks make the adjustment mechanisms feel less premium.
  • Black fabric is an absolute magnet for pet hair.
  • Seat foam can get a bit warm in rooms over 25°C.

KitGuru says: The Boulies Aura offers an impressive suite of ergonomic adjustments and genuine all-day comfort, making it a strong contender for any home office or gaming setup.

Sihoo Doro C300 Ergonomic Chair Brings Adaptive Lumbar Support For Long Work And Gaming Sessions

13 March 2026 at 15:30

A gaming setup features an unbranded ergonomic chair in front of a desk with dual monitors, speakers, and a game controller, with decorative items like a model car and soccer balls arranged around the room.

Modern work and entertainment habits have changed dramatically in recent years. Many people now spend long hours sitting, whether working from home, attending virtual meetings, or enjoying extended gaming sessions.  While technology has made daily tasks more convenient, it has also introduced a growing problem: prolonged sitting that often leads to discomfort, fatigue, and posture-related issues. Lower back pain, shoulder tension, and pressure on the hips are common complaints among people who sit for long periods. Traditional office chairs often fail to solve these problems because they rely on manual adjustments that users rarely change throughout the day.  As the […]

Autonomous Desk 5 Pro and ErgoChair Ultra Review – Clean and Professional

5 March 2026 at 18:59

A desk setup featuring dual HP monitors, a Razer keyboard, a mouse, and a laptop displaying the 'Wccftech' logo.

Over the past few months, I’ve been shopping around for a first home, and one of the requisites was to have a dedicated office space. Fast forward to November 1st of this year, and my wife and I signed the final documents to get the keys to our new home. Autonomous actually reached out to us much earlier in the year and sent samples of both their Desk 5 Pro and ErgoChair Ultra (in black and white to match the Wccftech logo), but remained sealed in a box until I finally had the space to install a brand new desk.

Frank Yeary, the Intel Board Chair Who Pushed the Foundry Spin-Off and Orchestrated Pat Gelsinger’s Exit, Is Retiring This Year

4 March 2026 at 17:56

A person wearing glasses and a blue striped shirt is smiling against a dark background.

Intel's board chair, Frank Yeary, is retiring from his current position, according to the latest announcement, and the industry has responded with mixed reactions. Intel Shifts From a Finance-Centric to an Engineering-First Board Chair, Aligning With Lip-Bu's Ideologies Intel underwent a massive administrative shift back in 2025, mainly driven by the departure of former CEO Pat Gelsinger, under stringent conditions. Team Blue has always focused on advanced chip manufacturing, and, through the '5N4Y' ideology developed under Gelsinger, Intel made significant investments in its foundry division. However, Intel's efforts didn't deliver much shareholder value, mainly because there weren't significant breakthroughs from […]
