Why you should buy the Keychron Q3

It’s one thing to own and operate a mechanical keyboard, but when you’re using a Keychron product, you’re opening up a world of customizable possibilities. In the case of the Q3, you’ll be working with an 87-key tenkeyless layout (no numeric pad) and three key styles: Red (linear behavior, quiet sound), Blue (clicky behavior, clicky sound), and Brown (tactile behavior, gentle sound). It’s just a matter of picking and choosing the keys that feel the best to you. 

Speaking of comfort: the Q3’s aluminum CNC chassis and double-gasket design go a long way toward delighting your digits. Keychron was also kind enough to incorporate silicone padding between the top and bottom shells to temper the Q3’s typing noise. We were pleased to learn that you’ll be able to add third-party stabilizers too. Perhaps the best feature is the QMK and VIA support though. 

Not only can you customize the keymap to your heart’s content with the Q3, but the fact that Keychron uses open-source firmware means you’ll be able to dream up whatever key-based shortcuts and lighting effects your brain can conjure. The Q3 is also compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

This Woot promo won’t last forever, so now is always the best time to buy! Save $120 on the Keychron Q3 QMK/VIA Mechanical Keyboard when you order through Woot.

Google’s upcoming Googlebook lineup is starting to take shape through leaks. Lenovo has already appeared in several renders, while a recent benchmark leak suggests Dell may bring the XPS name to Google’s new laptop platform. Asus is now the latest manufacturer to surface ahead of launch.

Digital Citizen has published multiple renders of an unannounced Asus Googlebook, showing its lid, keyboard, chassis, and port selection. The laptop could make its official debut at IFA next month. Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are all expected to be part of the first wave.

I’m done charging things that never leave my desk
Wireless peripherals are better than ever, but I’m starting to value the devices that ask absolutely nothing of me
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work.

Then my mouse died in the middle of a game.

Your favorite Edge extension may stop working soon as Microsoft follows Chrome’s lead
Microsoft has announced the transition to Manifest V3, gradually phasing out older browser extensions.
Microsoft Edge on PC and Mobile Featured

Microsoft Edge is finally making the same controversial move that Google Chrome did earlier this year, and it could mean the end of some of the browser's most popular ad blockers. Microsoft has announced that Edge is officially transitioning its extensions ecosystem to Manifest Version 3 (MV3), Google's newer extension platform that promises better security, privacy, and performance. As part of that shift, the browser will gradually stop supporting older Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions over the coming months, meaning legacy extensions such as the original uBlock Origin will eventually stop working in Edge.

What is Manifest V3, and why is Microsoft adopting it?
