The KeySmart SmartCard Pro Tracks Your Wallet for up to Two Years on a Single Charge

The $49.99 KeySmart SmartCard Pro is a wallet tracker built for people who don’t want their missing-card anxiety tied to a single phone ecosystem. Instead of choosing between Apple Find My and Google Find Hub compatibility, this credit-card-style tracker is designed to work with either network, though you’ll pair it with one at a time. It’s thin enough to slip into a wallet, rechargeable over Qi wireless charging, rated for up to 24 months of battery life, and dressed in a polished aluminum frame with a transparent shell that shows off the hardware inside.


MOVA LIDAX Ultra 1000 Lawn Mower Review: A Wire-Free Robot Mower for People Who Don’t Want Their Yard Turned into a Weekend Engineering Project

Robot lawn mowers have been around long enough that the novelty has worn off, but the setup pain hasn’t always followed it out the door. Older models often required burying or staking boundary wires around the yard, while newer premium models may lean on RTK positioning, which usually means installing a reference station with a clear view of the sky. Both approaches can work, but neither is exactly charming when all you want is a neatly maintained lawn without spending Saturday explaining to your grass where it lives.


Kobo and StoryGraph Team Up to Help Readers Track Their Books without Amazon

If you’re an avid reader, you probably track what you’ve been reading. If you like the idea of a website where you can share reviews and track your reading, you’re probably familiar with Goodreads, especially since it was acquired by Amazon and integrates with Kindle. But for a number of reasons, from geographical to philosophical, not everyone uses Amazon for their eBook consumption. Kobo is the clear competitor, and now they’re partnering with Goodreads biggest competitor, Storygraph!


Herman Miller Gaming’s Coyl Gaming Desk Dials In a Cleaner, Smarter Gaming Setup

Herman Miller Gaming is moving beyond chairs with the Coyl Gaming Desk, its first desk built specifically for gaming setups, streaming corners, and workstations that now have to do a little bit of everything. Starting at $1475, Coyl is a 60″ sit-to-stand desk with a rotary height dial, built-in cable management, integrated hooks, and optional modular accessories meant to keep gear organized without turning your room into a nest of wires and controller clutter. It’s also clearly aimed at people who care as much about how a setup looks as how it performs.


TemPolor Melo-D Wants to Turn Humming and Text Prompts into Playable Music

The TemPolor Melo-D is a foldable generative AI guitar aimed at people who have musical ideas but not necessarily the finger strength, theory background, or patience to wrestle with a traditional instrument. The company is pitching the TemPolor Melo-D as the world’s first generative AI guitar, capable of turning humming, text prompts, style tags, chord progressions, and uploaded audio into original songs or playable guitar parts. That’s a big claim, and the real test will be how musical the results feel, but the concept is easy to understand: make songwriting and guided playing less intimidating.


UGREEN Shrinks Its Apple-Friendly Charging Gear with New Nexode and MagFlow Air Editions

UGREEN’s Nexode and MagFlow Air Editions arrive with a simple pitch: Apple gear shouldn’t require a brick-sized charger, a cable nest, and a separate battery just to make it through a long day. The new lineup includes the $39.99 UGREEN Nexode Air 65W Charger, the $39.99 Nexode Air 45W Charger Slim, and the $79.99 MagFlow Air Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 15W, all aimed at people who want smaller charging gear without giving up useful speed, safety checks, or enough flexibility to cover a MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad, and AirPods on a desk, plane, or commute.


Gentle Monster Intelligent Eyewear Brings Google Gemini to Fashion-First Audio Glasses

Gentle Monster intelligent eyewear is moving from rumor-adjacent curiosity to something more concrete, with Google revealing a first design at Google I/O 2026 today. Built in partnership with Google and Samsung, the upcoming collection will start with audio glasses that combine speakers, microphones, a camera, and Google Gemini‘s voice-assisted help. The idea is familiar but still tricky: make wearable tech useful enough to justify wearing it, without making you look like you’ve wandered out of a beta test. The first models are expected later this fall, with the full collection arriving later in 2026.


Anthony Veer Labs Apollo Hybrid Shoes Bring Sneaker Comfort to a Dress Shoe Without Losing the Plot

The Apollo Hybrid shoes from Anthony Veer Labs are built around a familiar problem: dress shoes may look polished, but they often feel like punishment once your day involves more than walking from the car to a conference room. Launching on Kickstarter today, the Apollo Hybrid aims to bring running-shoe comfort to a cleaner Oxford-style silhouette, pairing full-grain leather with energy-return foam, a carbon fiber shank, and a removable, supportive insole. It’s meant for professionals who still need to look put together, but don’t want their feet filing a complaint by midafternoon.


Vantrue N4 Pro S 3-Channel Dash Cam Bundle Review: A Serious 4K, 3-Channel Dash Cam Bundle with One Annoying Weak Spot

The Vantrue N4 Pro S delivers exactly what most people want in a serious dash cam: sharp footage from three cameras at once, a parking mode that actually keeps an eye on your car when you’re not around, and an installation process that won’t ruin your weekend. The video quality from all three cameras is genuinely impressive, and the small, clear rear camera is a real win. The main unit is on the larger side and sits in your peripheral view, but you get used to it after a few drives.


Motorola’s Razr Deals Put Foldables Back in the Graduation Gift Conversation

Motorola’s latest Dads & Grads promotion puts the motorola razr FIFA World Cup 26™ Edition and the new 2026 motorola razr family in the deal spotlight, with discounts, bundled accessories, and trade-in offers aimed at anyone shopping for a more memorable tech gift than another Bluetooth speaker. The limited-edition razr is now $100 off at $599.99, and Motorola is also adding a free pair of moto buds loop earbuds, a moto watch, and a moto tag with purchase. For foldable-curious shoppers, the preorder bundles on the 2026 razr lineup may be the more interesting part.


Govee TV Backlight 3 Wants to Make Your TV Wall Work a Little Harder

Govee is back with another attempt to make the wall behind your TV do more than sit there, and the new Govee TV Backlight 3 arrives with a more serious camera system, denser lighting, and broader smart home support than before. Launched today in the US and Europe, the kit is designed for people who like the idea of ambient lighting that follows what’s on-screen, but don’t want to run HDMI boxes, swap cables, or turn movie night into a small wiring project. Pricing starts at $109.99 for 55″ to 65″ TVs and $139.99 for 75″ to 85″ TVs.


Lepro STV1 AI-Powered Smart TV Backlight Brings Screen-Synced Color to the Living Room

The Lepro STV1 AI-Powered Smart TV Backlight is built for anyone who likes the idea of the room reacting to what’s on-screen, but doesn’t want a nest of wires behind the TV or a setup process that feels like punishment. Launching May 15, 2026, the camera-based backlight extends colors from movies, games, sports, and music into the space around your television. It’s available in an 11.8′ version for 55″ to 65″ TVs for $89.99, and a 16.4′ version for 75″ to 85″ TVs for $109.99.


KitchenAid Smart Thermometer Takes a More Guided Approach to Getting Dinner Right

KitchenAid is stepping into the connected-cooking lane with the KitchenAid Smart Thermometer, a wireless, app-connected probe meant to help take the squinting, poking, and optimistic guessing out of cooking meat, poultry, fish, and other proteins. Available now in single- and dual-probe configurations, it tracks both the temperature inside your food and the heat around it while sending guidance through the free KitchenAid App. It’s aimed at anyone who has ever wondered whether dinner is done, almost done, or quietly plotting to become shoe leather on a busy weeknight or a weekend grill session outside, too.


HP Sprocket Photobooth Review: A Party-Ready Photo Booth That Prints, Shares, and Actually Makes Sense

The HP Sprocket Photobooth knows exactly what it is. It isn’t pretending to be a full-scale professional event booth, and it’s not just a pocket printer playing dress-up. It’s a compact, self-contained photo station for gatherings where people still love a printed keepsake but also want the option to scan a code and have a digital copy on their phones before the next song starts. Think weddings, reunions, birthday parties, baby showers, school events, and all the other occasions where a small take-home memento still feels thoughtful.


The Lola Digital Camera Is a Delightful $109 Y2K Escape from Smartphone Photo Overload

The Lola Digital Camera is a $109 pocket-sized compact camera built for people who miss the imperfect charm of early-2000s snapshots but don’t necessarily want to go hunting on eBay for a scratched-up point-and-shoot. Available with a clear transparent shell, a Betty Boop shell, or a retro silver shell, Lola combines an 8-megapixel sensor, built-in flash, USB-C charging, video recording, a 2.8″ screen, and plenty of creative filters. Its best trick may be what it doesn’t have: apps, alerts, texts, or the tiny doom-scrolling portal we call a smartphone.


The New Lenovo ThinkPads and ThinkStation P4 Bring AI Power to Business Laptops and Pro Workstations

Lenovo’s 2026 business PC lineup is now filled out with the ThinkPad X13 Gen 7, updated ThinkPad L14 Gen 7 and L16 Gen 3 laptops, and the new ThinkStation P4 workstation, giving companies a wider menu of AI-ready hardware for road warriors, office fleets, and power-hungry creative teams. The laptops lean into lighter travel, easier repairs, and familiar ports, while the desktop workstation aims at engineers, designers, and content creators who need serious graphics and processor muscle without drifting into “call accounting first” territory. As ever, the interesting part is what survives beyond the spec sheet.


Kwikset Halo Select Plus Review: A Smart Lock That Makes Remote Home Access Feel Effortless

Smart locks make sense anywhere, but they become especially useful when you are managing a home you are not in every day. That is why we gave the Kwikset Halo Select Plus a try on a holiday home in Puerto Vallarta, where secure keyless entry, remote monitoring, and simple access control were not just nice-to-have features; they were genuinely needed. Guests, cleaners, friends, and maintenance teams may all need access while you are away, and spare keys or lockboxes are never the most elegant, secure, or easy-to-manage solution.


UPDATED: LiberNovo Maxis Leads a Broader Ergonomic Chair Lineup for Bigger Bodies, Cooler Seats, and Lower Budgets

LiberNovo Maxis is the newest signal that ergonomic chair makers are finally paying more attention to people who don’t fit the one-size-fits-most office chair mold. Launching alongside the new Omni Pro and Omni SE, the Maxis Series is built for bigger and taller bodies, supporting people from 5’10” to 6’6″ and up to 399 pounds. Deposit pre-sales begin today in the US, Canada, and the EU, with the full launch set for June 16, 2026. The idea is simple enough: better support shouldn’t require pretending that every body is built the same way.


Saris Cycle-On 2-Bike Hitch Rack Review: A Heavy-Duty E-Bike Hauler That Solves the Lifting Problem

If you’ve ever tried to muscle a 60-pound e-bike onto a hitch rack solo, you already understand the appeal of the Saris Cycle-On 2-Bike Hitch Rack. The included telescoping ramp means you never have to pick a bike up — just roll it on, strap it down, and go. The rack feels seriously well-built, holds two heavy bikes without flinching, and packs in genuinely useful touches like integrated wheels for moving it around the garage and a tilt-away feature that opens your SUV’s trunk without unloading.


Govee Floor Lamp 3 and Lantern Floor Lamp Bring More Color Control to Smart Lighting

Govee is adding two new smart lighting options for the living room: the Govee Floor Lamp 3 and the Govee Lantern Floor Lamp, both aimed at people who want more than a basic corner lamp but don’t necessarily want their home to look like a gaming cave. The Floor Lamp 3 is the more technical flagship, with broader white-light tuning and improved color accuracy, while the Lantern Floor Lamp leans into a softer ambiance with a ring-shaped glow. Both arrive with smart home support, app-driven customization, and prices that stay under $200.


LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower Review: Quiet, Lightweight, and Ready to Cut the Cord

If you’re like me, you probably have a complicated relationship with your lawn. You want it to look like a PGA golf course, but yanking a pull cord until your shoulder files a formal complaint, only to discover you’re out of gas, makes paving it over and painting it green sound tempting. Enter the LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower. It’s sleek, quiet, and basically the Tesla of turf. I’ve been putting it through its paces, and here’s the dirt, or rather the grass, on why it might be your new favorite backyard gadget.
