This week, Apple released a number of colorful Apple Watch straps ahead of June’s LGBTQ Pride month. Samsung announced that its Galaxy smartwatches can finally integrated with Google Assistant. And there were fresh reports that Apple would be bringing back the big HomePod.

On top of all that, though, there were several notable gadget releases, too. Here’s what you need to know.

Corsair Voyager a1600

tech roundupCorsair

After nearly two decades of making high-end components and peripherals for gaming, Corsair finally announced its first-ever gaming laptop. The Voyager a1600 is destined to be a powerhouse of a gaming laptop that runs on an AMD Ryzen 6000-series CPU and packs AMD Radeon RX 6800M graphics. Maybe most interestingly, it features a Touch Bar-esque screen with ten “S-keys” above its Function keys; these S-Keys are powered by Elgato’s Stream Deck software and allows gamers to customize for easy live stream controls.

There’s no release date at this time, but you can reserve the Voyager a1600 via the company’s website.

Price: $2,700 โ€” $3,000

Logitech MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini

Logitech announced a pair of wireless mechanical keyboards, the MX Mechanical and the MX Mechanical Mini, that are designed to perfectly partner its MX Master mouse. The two keyboards feature the same switches that you’ll find on its high-end gaming keyboards, and the neat thing is that Logitech gives you the option to buy the keyboards with your preference of sound and clicky-ness: tactile quiet, linear or clicky (you can test out how each sounds on the company’s website).

Price: $150 โ€” $170

Insta360 Sphere

The Insta360 Sphere is a 360-degree camera that’s specially designed to be strapped around either of DJI’s Mavic Air 2 and Air 2S drones โ€” it doesn’t block any of its tracking or object avoidance sensors. When attached, the Sphere is able to capture an immersive 360-degree while also making the drone appear to be completely invisible and non-obstructive to the shot.

Price: $430

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8
