All the strange and crazy devices that hit the scene

The annual Computex Computing Conference in Taipei, Taiwan, is not filled with as many crazy devices as the edge like CES 2025But that doesn’t mean that there is nothing remarkable. Nvidia tried to make the show about herself with the latest in his Blackwell series of GPUS and started the GeForce RTX 5060 and expand your AI software -suite, and we have also received new laptops about them Razer Blade 14 And Acer Predator Triton 14 AI. In the middle of these expected publications, however, we have also received a few quirky publications, which can prove to be much more interesting than a graphics card of the entry class.

If you are looking for the funny things, you have insured them with you. We will keep this post up to date when we see more news from Computex. So stay up to date.

Elgatos stream deck ‘modules’ would like to give all desktop keys

Content manufacturers swear by stream decks, but the average layperson may not understand what the whole excitement is. These devices are control panels that are bound to commands on your PC. These keys could offer controls that are as simple as the opening of Adobe premiere or as complex as exporting a finished program. Elgato, the manufacturer of some of the more popular decks, is now introducing his stream decks as a “platform”. First of all, there are a number of modules that offer most streamebone stream deck experience with variations that contain six, 15 or 32 keys. There is a separate dock with which you can also network a stream deck directly via Ethernet, but the great pressure is with a virtual stream deck. This is just a program with which you can create custom hotkeys that you can access with a single click on a desktop.

Asus Rog’s shared keyboard for players could be a couple of Nonchucke’s moonlight

If Razer can give us one Ergonomic vertical mouse, Why shouldn’t Asus’ gamer-centered ROG brand give us a shared keyboard? The company said the Falcata 75% keyboard It’s good if you only need your WASD key and have to expose the desktop space. It uses its own ROG HFX V2 magnet keyboard switch of the company with an adaptable journey from 0.1 to 3.5 mm. But the switches are even better when they prefer a series of cherry key. The split design and the removable resting point should better offer ergonomics for people with antitrust tunnel or wrist pain on a traditional unique keyboard. Asus would rather talk about its 8,000 Hz selection rate, which is a measure of how quickly the device can report its keyboard presses to the PC.

The return of the mouse with too many keys is now a pseudo stream deck

Corsairs Scimitar Elite WL SE was built for players who quickly have to meet countless hotkeys, and Corsair wants his gamer mouse to be a productivity device. The mouse has a total of 16 programmable buttons, most of which are on the left side of the mouse on a large “keyslider”. This is the type of mouse that is supposedly for competitive MMO players who want to have all their actions on one side on Easy Reach. In combination with the new stream deck functions from ELGATO, the Scimitar can now record virtual stream deck or even carry out commands if you quickly access your job applications, open websites or access stream controls. Oh, it also comes in white.

Here I would place an Xbox handheld if I had one

We crossed our fingers and hoped to finally see that Specified Xbox brand handheld PC Be Produced by Asus at this year’s computer. Instead, the company dropped a peripheral in the first few days who appears a little in the nose if it still states that a ROG does not exist. The ROG Bulwark-Dock is like the many other official and third-party providers who are supposed to maintain their steam deck or the ROG allied or allied X and maintain the indictment. It is a 7-in-1 dock that supports 4K with 144Hz output via HDMI 2.1. The nice thing about this dock is that the 90-degree USB-C cable is not married to a place on the device, which makes it easier to conclude in the port of the handheld that you use for Power Passhrough. Asus says that this design with its flat cup also works with telephones and laptops, but we assume that it should be good for an Xbox handheld whenever this occurs.

With AI you can make the plugins for the AI ​​of Nvidia

NVIDIA’s A-At now contains its own Project G assistCombined with a coding tool that is operated by Openais Chatgpt. G assist is the company’s chat bot that is integrated into the Nvidia app. The best aspect of the “small voice model of the chatbot” is that it is fully ushered in, but users themselves can change the limited functional rate of the AI ​​with one Plugin builder. This could enable users to interact with other apps. However, you don’t even need to know how to coded well to create a plugin, as the plugin builder uses a separate AI chat bot to write it for you. NVIDIA suggested that this works with apps such as Spotify for music and volume control, but we would prefer that it works as a legitimate PC assistant, so that we do not have to access several competing apps to change the settings on our keyboards and mice.

This sweet PC case would not look out of place in a flower field

Judging according to their name, the X50 cases of hyte like any other box -shaped PC case seem to be, but they can already see from the image that the design is very, very different from the standard black boxes that are most people are ready to stay under their desk. Both the X50 and the X50 air consist of 1 mm thick steel frame next to micro mesh and 4 mm laminated glass panes. These are all formed around the rounded design of cases. The “air” model is only available in white or black, but the X50 colors, including “Cherry”, “Taro Milk”, “Strawberry Milk” and “Matcha Milk”, are all colors that you would normally find on your local bubble tea spot. At $ 150, the X50 seems to be a kind of case that stand out from the pack of stubborn fish tank designs that you see from most companies. The case should arrive at some point this summer.

Dell’s new AI-centered laptop has the worst name that he can call himself conceivable

This is the Dell Pro Max Plus. It is a name that pushes every rank of an iPhone nomenclature into you. Apart from the company’s increasingly confusing name conventions, the Pro Max Plus has an interesting component that you will not find in most other laptops. It contains a discrete NPU, namely the Qualcomm Cloud Ai 100 chip. An NPU or a neural processing unit is a dedicated part of a chip or discrete processor for dealing with intensive AI processes. A typical PC with the latest AMD, Intel or Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor can support between 45 and 50 tops or trillion operations per second. This is a derived value for the general comparison of AI processing. The Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 hits around 350 tops.

It is not nearly the maximum tops of a discrete graphics processor (the Blackwell GPU from Nvidia with the lowest level, the RTX 5060, 614 tops), but the Dell Pro Max Plus Ultra Premium Supreme or whatever it says does not have to be so much about power consumption with an AI-specific chip.
