By Giovanni Colantonio January 4, 2022

Gaming accessory manufacturer HyperX showed off its latest suite of products at CES 2022, which includes new mice, keyboards, and controllers. The star of the show is the Cloud Alpha Wireless headset, which features 300 hours of battery life.

HyperX says that the Cloud Alpha is the first wireless gaming headset to offer a single charge up to 300 hours. The newly redesigned headset also features 50mm drivers that are lighter than the wired Cloud Alpha headset. Like other HyperX headsets, it’ll include memory foam ear cups, a detachable microphone, and onboard audio controls.

The company is launching two more gaming headsets as well at a lower price point. The $70 Cloud Core gaming headset is expected to launch in January and features a Discord-certified microphone. The Cloud II headset should arrive in March at a $100 price point. It’ll allow players to toggle 7.1 virtual surround sound on with the press of a button.

HyperX is launching a new controller aimed at mobile gaming as well. The Clutch Wireless controller features a standard ABXY button layout and will be compatible with Android devices at launch. The package includes a USB-C to USB-A cable and a detachable phone clip that expands from 41 to 86mm. The controller can hold 19 hours on a single charge. It will be released this March at a $50 retail price.

Round out the new offerings, HyperX’s a new wireless gaming mouse called the Pulsefire Haste. The $80 gaming mouse features six programmable buttons, a 100-hour wireless charge, and TTC Golden micro switches. The company will also launch a new mechanical keyboard, the $100 Alloy Origins 65, which has a 65% form factor. Both products are expected to launch this February.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.
