Turtle Beach has always had a knack for making gear that feels like it was designed by someone who refused to stop adding features. Their own brand slogan about being ‘Seriously Unserious’ is a perfect match for the new MC7 gaming mouse. It’s basically a maximalist’s dream, featuring a small command screen built into it, because apparently, the keyboard, stream deck, phone, monitor overlay, and software dashboard were not enough.

A tiny stream deck in mouse form

The MC7’s headline feature is its 2.25-inch Command Touch Display. Turtle Beach says the display can be used to adjust DPI, switch profiles, trigger macros, launch apps, control OBS and Streamlabs, manage audio, and check PC or game data in real time. In other words, your mouse now wants to be part gaming peripheral, part mini control panel, mostly so you’ll finally stop alt-tabbing every five minutes.

Streamers and multitaskers will likely get the most out of the MC7. It handles mic muting, scene switching, and audio balancing across Discord, Spotify, and games, all without needing another gadget. It’s a little outrageous, and that seems to be the whole idea.

The serious part of this unserious mouse

Beyond the playful idea, Turtle Beach has still packed in the expected high-end mouse features. The MC7 supports tri-mode connectivity, including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB. It also gets true 8K polling with a claimed 0.125ms latency, an Owl-Eye 30K optical sensor, Titan Optical Switches rated for 150 million clicks, and an adaptive 4D scroll wheel that can switch between tactile steps and smooth free-spin scrolling.

The power setup is just as overengineered. Turtle Beach includes two 1,000mAh hot-swappable batteries and a charging dock, so one battery can charge while the other keeps the mouse running. The MC7 also supports up to 33 programmable functions, five onboard profiles, RGB lighting, and Swarm II software for deeper customization.

The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 is priced at $159.99 and is available for pre-order, with shipping expected on July 19, 2026. At this price, you can get your hands on the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but the premium price might be justifiable once you remember this is basically a gaming mouse trying to moonlight as a stream deck.

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.
