Hands-on

I don’t need a lot in a folding Bluetooth keyboard. It just needs to support multiple wireless devices, plus USB-C direct connect, and not get all floppy on my lap! Would you believe there aren’t a lot of keyboards like that? 

$99 is pricey — and at 36Wh capacity and 40W PD output, it’s for small gadgets (1.5 charges for Z Flip, nearly full charge for Switch Lite). It only charged a Steam Deck 25 percent while playing 40 minutes of Animal Well. And the cable’s bead-like port covers kind of bang around.

But where else can you get charger, battery and cable in a single tangle-free package? Nice strong magnets, too.

I’m not saying you should go crowdfund a Bionic Bird X-Fly, as you’ll hear in my hands-on video below. I’m just saying that biomimetic ornithopters are surprisingly fun — and way less disruptive than your typical whiny quad-propeller drone!

They even come in their own jewel cases! My test results surprised me: I really thought I’d prefer the green one with built-in cables, but the yellow’s my winner. They’re roughly $20-25 on AliExpress.

I swear, I did not dress my daughter in Mario duds just so she could do real-life Mario Kart! It’s too perfect, I know, but she picked them out herself hours before she ever saw the toy.

Webster already wrote about this, but I’m seriously wowed at how easy it was to turn an iPhone into a retro console for my TV. Once you add a gamepad, everything but joystick-sensitive games (sorry, GoldenEye fans) feels playable!

Delta dev Riley Testut tells me he’s “definitely open” to adding joystick sensitivity adjustment. For now, it uses Apple’s default calibrations.
