Pulsar X2N CrazyLight Review: Narrow Shape Meets Extreme Ultralight Performance
Pulsar's X2 series has long been a favorite among ultralight enthusiasts. The CrazyLight lineup pushes the limit even lower in weight while retaining high-end features. Available as Mini (~40–41 g) and Medium (~43–46 g), the X2N targets claw and relaxed-claw players who prefer extreme lightness and a finger-focused, narrow shape over palm-friendly designs. It includes the in-house XS-1 sensor, native 8K polling, optical switches, and Pulsar's signature grippy finish—at a competitive price point. This review examines both sizes and assesses whether the narrow redesign brings real benefits or caters to too specific an audience.

Save Deleted Files from Dell Solid State Drives Safely
Dell solid state drives (SSDs) are a popular choice in modern laptops and desktops thanks to their speed, reliability, and long lifespan. They hold everything from personal documents and cherished photos to essential work files. Still, even these high-quality drives are not immune to data loss. Files can go missing due to accidental deletion, drive formatting, system crashes, malware attacks, or file system corruption. The good news is that, in most situations, deleted data from Dell SSDs can be safely recovered on Windows—provided you act quickly and follow the right recovery steps. This guide will explain the common causes of SSD data loss, immediate actions to take, and safe methods to recover your files.

Unveiled at CES 2026, the Corsair GALLEON 100 SD combines a premium mechanical gaming keyboard with a built-in Elgato Stream Deck, replacing the numpad with 12 customizable LCD keys, dual rotary encoders, and a 720×180 color mini-display for seamless typing performance and advanced controls in a single wired unit. Priced at $349.99, it began shipping in late January 2026. The integrated design delivers clear benefits for streamers, content creators, and multitaskers who want reduced desk clutter and instant access to macros, scene switching, and system monitoring, though for users focused purely on competitive gaming, the price may exceed the practical value compared to dedicated keyboards.

Priced at $89.99, it delivers excellent value for gamers who prioritize all-day comfort and minimal downtime over frequent recharges.
Razer Viper V3 Pro SE Review
In 2026, Razer made a calculated move to democratize their championship-grade esports mouse: the Viper V3 Pro SE. This "Special Edition" takes the acclaimed Viper V3 Pro and trims it to the bare essentials, keeping the ultra-light 54 g symmetrical shell, the class-leading Focus Pro 35K optical sensor, Gen-3 optical switches, and rock-solid HyperSpeed wireless connection — while dropping the bundled 8000 Hz HyperPolling dongle in favor of a standard 1000 Hz dongle, limiting the color to black only, and slashing the price to $99.99. The big question every competitive player is asking: does the SE deliver flagship-level performance at half the cost, or is the polling-rate compromise too big a sacrifice? After extended testing in Valorant, CS2, Apex Legends, and general desktop use, here's the complete verdict.
