SteelSeries’ latest wireless gaming mouse charges in 15 minutes

A wireless mouse might seem like an attractive option for gaming, but if you have a day of action lined up, waiting ages for it to charge doesn't seem like the most efficient option. SteelSeries might have solved that problem. It has released a wireless mouse that provides three hours of battery life after charging for just five minutes, or over 10 hours after a 15-minute top-up.

The company claims the Rival 650 is the first wireless mouse with fast charging, with a battery that can last for 24 hours on a full charge. The mouse otherwise has all of the same features as the wired Rival 600, including the TrueMove3+ dual sensor system that promises true one-to-one precision.

Of course, a wireless mouse focused on accuracy can't suffer from terrible lag when you're in the middle of a huge mid-game battle. Thankfully, SteelSeries claims the Rival 650 has negligible lag with 1ms latency. A dedicated depth sensor detects when you lift the mouse, which should spell an end to unnecessary movement when you pick it up or put it down. You can also customize the weight distribution with one of 256 possible combinations of eight four-gram weights. The Rival 650 costs $120 in North America and €130 in EMEA regions.

Also new is the Rival 710, which packs the TrueMove3 sensor into the Rival 700's body, and features an OLED display and tactile feedback. It will set you back $100 in North America and €110 in EMEA.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

By Liam McCabe This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter . When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
