The re-using of taglines is a foreign concept to Apple, and while we have yet to see the company repeat the same words to market a product or service, we have noticed that on this occasion, the company used the exact same words for its October 30 ‘Scary Fast’ event. For those that do not know, the firm used the same tagline to describe the performance of the previous-generation M1 Pro and M1 Max, which can only mean that the M3 may surpass performance and power efficiency expectations.
The RAINBOW 2 Pro controller: Elite performance without breaking the bank
06.10.2023 - 00:17 / techradar.com / Pro
PC gamers have long embraced RGB lighting schematics as part of their set-up, and it has even been a recurring joke within the community that the additional lighting in your build can improve the frame rates of your favorite games. While frames do win games, the idea that RGB lighting can affect your frame rate has no merit. A more effective way to win your matches is with an elite controller like the BigBig Won Rainbow 2 Pro controller.
Elite controllers often boast benefits over standard controllers that can immediately affect your gameplay. Bonus features like additional buttons, trigger stops, and high polling rates can all give you the upper advantage when you’re in the heat of a battle. The Rainbow 2 Pro controller from BigBig Won has taken the formula for elite controllers and fine-tuned it to further give gamers the powerful tools they need to secure a victory in the palm of their hands.
One of the most notable features of an elite style controller is a higher polling rate, but controllers that benefit from high polling rates can often cost more than $200. The BigBig Won Rainbow 2 Pro can reach a polling rate of 1000Hz over a wired connection at a fraction of that cost. A higher polling rate reduces input lag, helping you get an advantage over the competition when responsiveness matters. The Rainbow 2 Pro also lets you customize the polling rate to your own preferences using the custom app.
The Rainbow 2 Pro offers 4 remappable buttons, 2 on the back of the controller with 2 on the top next to the standard bumpers. These buttons can be customized and set as Macros and Turbos as the player sees fit using the supported BigBig Won app. Hall-effect triggers further improve responsiveness and playability as they utilize a system of magnets for more accurate input measurements. The Rainbow 2 Pro also offers a trigger-stop switch for both trigger controls, giving you the option of a long pull for more control in racing games compared to a shorter “hair trigger” pull which is ideal for first-person shooters.
First-person shooter players will also find that the included ALPS thumb sticks for the Rainbow 2 Pro sit higher and are topped with an anti-slip cap surrounded by a steel collar, improving the lifespan, and accuracy of the controller. Taller sticks aren’t always ideal for every genre, however, so the Rainbow Pro 2 features 3 changeable joystick caps and 2 different D-pad caps, so you can customize the experience to match your gaming preferences. Unlike other elite controllers, the Rainbow 2 Pro also features support for motion controls, even on platforms where motion controls are not typically available.
It’s not enough for a controller to just play well and have solid functionality, though.

Apple Has Chosen A Few Retail Employees For A ‘Secretive Product Training Event’ For The Vision Pro Launch
The Apple Vision Pro launch is said to happen in early 2024, but it will not be easy for customers to acquire one as the device is said to be available through an appointment system only. Also, the company has been extremely mum on the product, which only means that the average person does not know what they will be getting for their hard-earned $3,499, and that may be why Apple has selected a few retail employees to undergo a secret training event prior to the release of the AR headset.

Xiaomi 14’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Is Now The Fastest Mobile SoC In Geekbench 6’s Multi-Core Tests, Beats The A17 Pro Thanks To New CPU Cluster
The Xiaomi 14 will be one of the first flagships to be announced with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so it would be assumed that the SoC would perform the same as seen in previous Geekbench 6 leaks. Not quite, as these results certainly caught us off-guard, with the A17 Pro unable to match the multi-core performance of the chipset, though single-core results are a whole different story.

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for September, and it was a good month for the industry.

The PS5 continued its strong streak, being #1 in terms of both unit and dollar sales, and the Xbox Series X/S managed to come in at #2, driven by the game at the top of the software charts.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Rumored To Be 30 Percent More Power Efficient Than The A17 Pro, Despite Not Being Made On TSMC’s Cutting-Edge 3nm Process
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is said to be a step behind the A17 Pro as it is reportedly mass produced on TSMC’s N4P process instead of the Taiwanese’s next-generation 3nm process. Regardless of this difference, one rumor claims that Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship silicon is 30 percent more efficient than what Apple has outfitted in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max this year, but consuming less power can often mean compromising on performance.
