Just when you thought you were done shopping for now, Incase, the manufacturer of the Microsoft accessory line, revealed a new compact yet expensive keyboard on its website. The ergonomic keyboard offers solid specs, but the high price tag might make some potential buyers think twice about getting it.

It offers “ultra-responsive” scissor keys with 1.3mm travel, allowing you to type without pressing the keys too hard. Incase claims you can sync up to three devices to the Microsoft keyboard with Bluetooth 4.0, but you will need two AAA batteries that Incase claims will last 36 months. As a perk, the batteries come bundled with the keyboard, so you won’t have to buy them separately.

We’ll have to get one in for testing before we can call it one of the best keyboards of the new year, but it’ll be bound to be a good option among the best ergonomic keyboards.

Microsoft

The keyboard is compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10, as well as Windows 8. It measures 13 inches by 8.6 inches by 1.2 inches and will be available for $119 on Amazon and at the official Incase online store.

This new keyboard is something we expected since Onward Brands, the entity behind Incase, secured the licensing rights to make Microsoft accessories. Microsoft announced in April that it was shutting down its peripherals business, which includes webcams, keyboards, and other accessories. Microsoft did this to concentrate more on the Surface-branded products.

“The Compact Ergonomic Keyboard was designed to take up the smallest possible amount of space while maintaining typing accuracy, comfort, and a high level of performance,” said Marshall Clark, Onward general manager. “We are extremely proud to debut the most innovative and comfortable keyboard for work, play, and learning.”

Google finally lets you turn any website into an app on Googlebook
Google heard your complaints, and now every website can be an app on your Googlebook.
Using the HP Googlebook

Googlebook users, rejoice. Google is rolling out a Chrome update that turns any website into a web app, and you have the community to thank for it.

When Googlebook first arrived, Chrome was picky about which sites you could install. Only websites that developers had set up as web apps got the Install option. Everything else ended up as a shortcut that simply launched a browser tab.

DigUp lets users find Mac files by describing them, not remembering their names
Can't remember where that screenshot, PDF or recording went? Just describe it and let AI do the digging.
DigUp App in Use screenshot

There's a particular kind of frustration that comes with knowing a file exists somewhere on a computer but having absolutely no idea what it's called. Was that screenshot saved as IMG_4837? Which PDF contained that clause? And where did that podcast recording mention the thing worth remembering? DigUp wants to end the filename guessing game, letting Mac users search for files by describing what they remember instead. The free, open-source app uses Google's EmbeddingGemma 2 to search across photos, documents, PDFs, audio recordings and videos, all without sending personal files to the cloud.
