Corsair has launched the Nightsword v2 Wireless SD Stream Deck gaming mouse, a right-handed wireless mouse with a dedicated Stream Deck launch button, at Computex 2026.

The Stream Deck support is an in-house integration rather than a third-party collaboration, since Corsair owns Elgato. It brings Elgato’s shortcut system directly to the mouse, letting gamers, streamers, and creators trigger app, gaming, and workflow controls without reaching for a separate desktop panel.

Stream Deck controls are now under your thumb

The Nightsword v2 Wireless SD is detected inside the Stream Deck app. Once connected, users can assign Stream Deck actions to the mouse buttons and open Virtual Stream Deck menus through the dedicated Launch Button.

Once the mouse is set up in the Stream Deck app, users can assign shortcuts for Discord, microphone controls, audio levels, game launches, app switching, or multi-step actions. In games, those shortcuts could help with commands, emotes, or repeated actions. For streaming or work, they could reduce the clicks needed to mute a mic, open a tool, or move between commonly used apps.

The mouse also gets access to plugins and profiles through the Elgato Marketplace. That gives users more room to build app-specific controls, instead of relying only on standard button remapping.

The mouse still has serious gaming hardware

The Stream Deck button is the standout feature, but the Nightsword v2 Wireless SD is also built as a performance gaming mouse. It has a right-handed ergonomic shape, a sculpted thumb rest, 11 buttons, and three-zone RGB lighting. The mouse weighs 89g.

Corsair has used its Marksman S optical sensor, with DPI adjustment from 100 to 33,000 in 1-DPI increments. The main buttons use optical switches rated for up to 100 million clicks, and the mouse supports 8,000Hz polling.

Connectivity options include 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2 + LE, and wired USB. Battery life is rated at up to 170 hours over 2.4GHz with RGB off at 1,000Hz polling, or up to 47 hours at 8,000Hz polling. With lighting on, Corsair lists up to 42 hours at 1,000Hz and 25.5 hours at 8,000Hz. Bluetooth battery life is rated at up to 164 hours without backlighting.

The Nightsword v2 Wireless SD is priced at $129.99. It is currently available through the brand’s official website.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.

Logitech’s PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE HITS differently — and it made me rethink clicking
Turns out, the humble left click had a lot more room to evolve than I thought.
Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Design 1

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I'm far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year.

For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn't the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I'd flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then, only to come crawling back a few days later. Most of them either felt too hollow, too small, or simply lacked the reassuring heft I had grown accustomed to. Then the Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE showed up, and for the first time, my G502 has been gathering dust.

Minecraft is coming to Switch 2, and even the Creepers are getting prettier
Nintendo's Switch 2 is getting one of the biggest video games of all time.
Minecraft

Minecraft has spent years proving that blocks can run on practically anything with a screen. On October 27, it will finally move into a home built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mojang has confirmed that the native Switch 2 version of Minecraft will launch with Vibrant Visuals enabled by default, using the newer console’s additional power to spruce up its famously square Overworld. Existing Nintendo Switch owners will also receive a digital upgrade path, though Mojang says pricing and other details will arrive later.
