On one end of the gaming mouse spectrum, you have mice specialising in lightweight, low-latency capabilities that are purely built to be as fast and reliable at aiming and clicking as possible, and on the other it’s all about having unique ergonomics, as many buttons, and as much configurability as possible, weight and wires be damned. I’ve mostly preferred the latter category over the last few years, and it’s hard to imagine going any other way after I’ve gotten used to the convenience of a super customisable mouse. Spending time with the Corsair M75 Air has me reconsidering my needs, and I’ve been surprised at how a difference a lightweight wireless mouse makes in my day-to-day.
Corsair mice are solidly built and sleekly designed, and the M75 Air wireless mouse is no exception. Our review model has a sleek black build that’s fully plastic, but hardly lacking in premium feel. After having a glowing, RGB-filled mouse on my desk for so many years, the minimalist blacks of the M75 body, broken up only by the pop of colour from the neon-green plastic inside the scroll wheel was a really refreshing combo. That all-plastic build is a major contributor to how weightless this mouse is, too. Clocking in at just around 60 grams, it feels like nothing in your hands, making it easy to grip it in whatever method you prefer and still have full control over the movement and consistency of your aiming and pointing.
In terms of size, the M75 Air comes in at a similar volume to other Corsair mouse products. As someone with particularly big hands, a claw grip on the M75 can be a bit finicky and uncomfortable, but more natural resting or hovering positions feel reliable and plenty comfortable. There are just two programmable side-buttons on the left side of the otherwise symmetrical mouse, and while the small number of buttons is a bit of a downside, their positioning is perfect (unless you’re left handed). The buttons are raised, extra-wide, and curved along the edge of the mouse. No matter your resting hand position, you’ll almost certainly have your thumb naturally resting near the buttons, making it so simple and natural to use them during intense gameplay or hasty work sessions.
Despite being so light, this is still a wireless mouse with battery built-in. There’s no concerns over this adding latency to your gaming sessions, thanks to a 1,000Hz polling rate when using the USB dongle that ensures it’s consistent and effectively instantaneously responsive – even the most dedicated FPS aficionados will have a good time with this piece of hardware, though cabled mice can go much, much higher. That polling rate comes with a hit to the battery life, and the M75 Air operates for up to 34 hours before needing a recharge, but

Carl Pei's Nothing has taken the world of technology by storm, establishing its foothold in a market that is usually dominated by heavyweights such as Samsung, Apple and others. One of the ways the tech startup has done that is by adopting a quirky, transparent design strategy that has stood out in a world of mundane and honestly repeated offerings which all look the same, with a few differences here and there. But it isn't the first company attempting to do so. HTC gave it a try with its quirky Android smartphones, and so did Nokia with its Windows-powered Lumia series. There were even attempts by Blackberry too to break this smartphone duopoly, but none of them managed to do it quite as well as Nothing. Thus, Nothing's products, such as the Phone 2a and the Ear 2 have stood out and have been highly appreciated by the tech community, even though they might not be the best in the business. This has been the company's strategy, with no intention of taking on the tech giants…until now.
Once Apple opened the floodgates and allowed emulators onto the App Store, Delta was one of the first on the scene. This Nintendo emulator allows you to load up your ROMs for all the classic systems, from the NES and Game Boy to the N64 and DS. With so much nostalgia suddenly available right on your phone, it’s no wonder that Delta has become one of the most downloaded apps on the store. And while the emulator itself is fantastic, none of these games were intended to be played on your iPhone — and more specifically, with the touchpad. Even the old Game Boy games can feel cramped and cluttered when you are blocking parts of the screen with your thumbs, but there are plenty of handy accessories to make your iPhone the perfect platform for Delta games.

Twitter user pl_evil has helpfully translated a recent letter to shareholders from Bloober Team, showing that their new game "Project C" will be revealed later this year. This will be the studio's next original game, after they wrapped up Layers Of Fear last year with, confusingly, Layers Of Fear (the natural progression for a series: Layers Of Fear, Layers Of Fear 2, and then Layers Of Fear again, although it was going to be called Layers Of Fears at one point).
You’ve heard of the Lands Between, but have you ever considered the Sands Between? That’s not a joke, that’s a genuine area in Another Crab’s Treasure, and I don’t think anything sums up the exact vibe that this game is going for better than the name of that one area. This is a love letter to and a sendup of so much of what FromSoftware has done, all wrapped up in a very cute crab protagonist just trying to get their home back, and a deeply unsettling message about pollution that we all already know, but don’t often get to play through.
Another Crab's Treasure might not look like a soulslike action RPG, but it is one. Take out the dark, oppressive nature of FromSoftware's output and replace it with SpongeBob, and you're more or less there. Purposely juxtaposing the established tropes of the genre, this title offers a fresh, more lighthearted experience without sacrificing the level of challenge you'd expect.
