Logitech G today announced the G815 and G915 mechanical gaming keyboards. They’re among the thinnest and most feature-packed the company’s made and they’re drop-dead gorgeous. Seriously, just have a look: While both devices share the same aesthetic, the G815 Keyboard is wired and the G915 uses the company’s Lightspeed wireless technology. Both feature an ultra-thin design and low profile GL switches (more on those in a moment) in an aircraft-grade aluminum chassis. You’ll also get Lightsync, Logitech‘s RGB lighting software that features fully-customizable and game-responsive lighting patterns in about 16.8 million colors in both devices.

Reminders are one of the most useful features of AI assistants. Pick up some groceries, take out the trash, set up a dentist appointment. But what about those times you need to nag other people to do something? Google Assistant can soon do that for you too.

Here’s the good news: there is a Wizarding World after all. Hogwarts, hippogriffs, flying broomsticks, the Ministry of Magic, it’s all real! A most whimsical, freeing, empowering, and inspiring reality exists for wizards and witches, and it’s closely within reach, accessible with a flick of the wand. For many who grew up with the Harry Potter fantasy, this is a dream come true. However, there’s also bad news: you’re a muggle, and this wizarding reality was only built for those with magical inclinations.

Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! When it comes to photography, I’m obsessed with framing and symmetry. I always strive to nail the composition straight from the camera, but it never hurts to have some extra pixels in case I need to do some cropping. That’s why there’s a special place in my heart for cameras with large sensors – like Sony‘s 42-megapixel A7R III. If you’re familiar with the conundrum I’m describing, you’d be glad know that eBay currently has a stellar 42-percent discount on the A7R III. You can grab one…
