VAXEE NP-01S V2 Wireless Slims Down to 57g
VAXEE began in 2019 when the first Zowie team started their business as a mouse maker and store platform. They keep improving older mouse models with fresh designs that cut weight. The latest NP-01S V2 Wireless dropped from 68 grams to just 57 grams. This big weight cut happened without making the mouse less sturdy or changing how it works. The company upgraded from the older PixArt PAW3395 sensor to the new PAW3950. The main buttons still use Huano switches, and the scroll wheel runs on a mechanical ALPS encoder. Every recent wireless mouse from VAXEE comes with a USB High-Speed dongle that allows super-fast 4000 Hz connection speeds. They also made their competitive mode work even better than before. Battery life reaches 110 hours...
TRENDnet Goes Green With GaN PoE Switches
TRENDnet just launched new network switches that pack a big punch in a small package. These PoE++ switches use GaN (gallium-nitride) power technology, which makes them much more efficient.

MSI Ditches AMD RDNA 4, Teams Up With NVIDIA
MSI just canceled plans to make graphics cards with AMD's new RDNA 4 chips and flat-out skipped the entire RX 9000 series lineup. When asked about this decision, an MSI representative told Tom's Hardware simply that the company "is not manufacturing AMD GPUs this generation." They left open the possibility of working with AMD again someday. The numbers tell a clear story. MSI created 45 different AMD card models during the RX 6000 series. Then MSI drastically cut back to just four designs for the RX 7000 cards - that's a huge 91% drop. Even worse, those few RX 7000 cards just recycled cooling systems from older products, showing MSI spent way less effort compared to their NVIDIA cards. Several things pushed MSI away from AMD...
