MelGeek MADE84 Ultra Review: Getting addicted to this magnetic keyboard was only a matter of time

I tried my first Hall Effect keyboard, and now my brown switches are just gathering dust

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Mechanical keyboards are one of those rabbit holes I’ve always been happy to fall into. I spend most of my day writing, then somehow end up using the same keyboard for several more hours once I start gaming. Naturally, how a keyboard responds and sounds are important to me. But more often than not, I found myself relying on this dusty old mechanical keyboard with brown switches. Something about the brown switches and construction always made it feel natural to me. All of this changed after I tried the MelGeek MADE84 Ultra V2 for a review.

This keyboard instantly caught my attention with its transparent keycaps, massive light bar, aluminum body, and lighting running around almost every side, which immediately gives it away as a gaming keyboard. It's not being subtle about it at all. After about two weeks of using it for work and games, the styling is just one of the things it has going for it.

AI agents are already breaking the rules in cyber tests. OpenAI’s answer is a more capable one

GPT-5.6-Cyber trades some safeguards for stronger defensive capabilities, but access is tightly restricted

OpenAI has built a cybersecurity model specifically for advanced requests that its standard models often refuse. GPT-5.6-Cyber is available through the restricted Daybreak Red program and is meant for work such as exploit development and advanced security research.

The capability jump is hard to miss. OpenAI says GPT-5.6-Cyber completes 95% of requests in its internal Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate evaluation. Regular GPT-5.6 Sol completed just 1.5%. That leap comes after several cyber evaluations showed AI agents wandering beyond the boundaries researchers had set for them.

Meta’s new AI model runs entirely offline, but your GPU needs to keep up

Meta drops a free 30 billion parameter AI model that lives entirely on your desktop.

Meta has a new AI model out, and for once, the biggest headline isn't about capability; it's about freedom. Muse Glimmer, sitting around 30 billion parameters, ships with an Apache 2.0 license, meaning the weights on Hugging Face are yours to download, modify, and build on top of, no permission needed. You can simply run it on a graphics card on your local machine, no server farm or online connectivity required.

Meta's Superintelligence Lab took its larger Muse Spark and essentially had it teach a smaller, leaner version to think as it does. Muse Glimmer accepts both text and image inputs, though it only answers in text. It supports over 100 languages, remembers conversations stretching past 131,000 tokens, and its knowledge stops at January 4, 2026.
