Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 Mouse with built-in display — Turtle Beach

Turtle Beach has always had a knack for making gear that feels like it was designed by someone who refused to stop adding features. Their own brand slogan about being ‘Seriously Unserious’ is a perfect match for the new MC7 gaming mouse. It’s basically a maximalist’s dream, featuring a small command screen built into it, because apparently, the keyboard, stream deck, phone, monitor overlay, and software dashboard were not enough.

A tiny stream deck in mouse form

The MC7’s headline feature is its 2.25-inch Command Touch Display. Turtle Beach says the display can be used to adjust DPI, switch profiles, trigger macros, launch apps, control OBS and Streamlabs, manage audio, and check PC or game data in real time. In other words, your mouse now wants to be part gaming peripheral, part mini control panel, mostly so you’ll finally stop alt-tabbing every five minutes.

Streamers and multitaskers will likely get the most out of the MC7. It handles mic muting, scene switching, and audio balancing across Discord, Spotify, and games, all without needing another gadget. It’s a little outrageous, and that seems to be the whole idea.

The serious part of this unserious mouse

Beyond the playful idea, Turtle Beach has still packed in the expected high-end mouse features. The MC7 supports tri-mode connectivity, including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB. It also gets true 8K polling with a claimed 0.125ms latency, an Owl-Eye 30K optical sensor, Titan Optical Switches rated for 150 million clicks, and an adaptive 4D scroll wheel that can switch between tactile steps and smooth free-spin scrolling.

The power setup is just as overengineered. Turtle Beach includes two 1,000mAh hot-swappable batteries and a charging dock, so one battery can charge while the other keeps the mouse running. The MC7 also supports up to 33 programmable functions, five onboard profiles, RGB lighting, and Swarm II software for deeper customization.

The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 is priced at $159.99 and is available for pre-order, with shipping expected on July 19, 2026. At this price, you can get your hands on the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but the premium price might be justifiable once you remember this is basically a gaming mouse trying to moonlight as a stream deck.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more

I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

The $1300 Acer Predator Atlas 8 handheld is finally US-bound, and its pre-orders are already sold out

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) Review: Almost everything I want from a gaming laptop, except the price

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop

Quick Take

Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
