Attack Shark's New MEGA B2 Mouse Ditches Mechanical Switches for Magnets

New York – September 23, 2026 -- Attack Shark has launched the MEGA B2, a gaming mouse that replaces traditional mechanical switches with TMR-based Magnetic Micro-Switches, letting players set actuation distances as fine as 0.1mm.

Magnetic switches allow adjustable trigger sensitivity

Instead of physical contacts, the MEGA B2 detects button movement through magnetic sensing, a design the company says reduces switch wear over time. The mouse also supports Rapid Trigger technology, letting activation and reset points shift dynamically so players can fire repeated inputs without waiting for a fixed reset distance. Both primary buttons include linear motor haptic feedback, with independently adjustable trigger sensitivity and tactile intensity.

San Jose, Costa Rica – September 22, 2026 -- Americas Cardroom's OSS XL tournament series posted another high-payout Sunday on September 20, with three Main Events still in progress as the series heads toward its close.

The $630 High Roller drew over 1,200 entries

OSS XL #215 pulled in 1,204 entries, building a $722,400 prize pool well above its $600,000 guarantee. Following a final-table deal, player slippy12 took first place for $119,923, while a6amKa4ePBb finished runner-up for $114,033.

Creality's New SPARKX i8 Printer Switches Colors in Under a Second

Frankfurt – – September 21, 2026 -- Creality has launched the SPARKX i8, a multi-color 3D printer, on Indiegogo at a super early-bird price of $289, well below its planned $399 MSRP.

A single toolhead replaces bulky multi-nozzle systems

The i8 uses Creality's QuarTeks Color Change System, which packs four independent filament channels into one compact toolhead instead of requiring multiple toolheads or external filament swapping. Filaments are pre-loaded directly into the quad-channel head.

Color switches happen in under one second

Near the nozzle tip, the shared filament path measures less than 1 mm, or roughly 2 mm3, which Creality says is at least 30 times shorter than shared paths common elsewhere in the market. That short path cuts retraction, feeding and purging time, letting the printer switch color channels in under a second.

COLOLIGHT's CHIMERA Ditches the Headset for Chair-Mounted Gaming Audio

New York and Los Angeles – September 21, 2026 -- COLOLIGHT is launching CHIMERA, a chair-mounted open-ear gaming headset, on Kickstarter starting September 22, with a $219 Super Early Bird price for backers.

The system mounts to a gaming chair instead of the head

Rather than sitting over the ears, CHIMERA's acoustic units attach to a player's gaming chair, creating what the company calls a personal open-ear listening zone around the seated player. The setup can be adjusted for height, distance and angle to fit different chairs, seating positions and body sizes, according to COLOLIGHT.
