If you like compact keyboards and you care about fast, responsive inputs, this is a strong price cut on a premium option. The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is down to $159.99 (was $219.99), saving you $60. That discount matters because adjustable-actuation boards tend to live in the “nice, but pricey” category. At this price, it’s a lot easier to justify if you’ve been thinking about a 60% setup for competitive gaming or a cleaner desk.
This is a 60% wired mechanical keyboard built around OmniPoint adjustable switches, which means you can fine-tune how far a key needs to travel before it actuates. That’s the whole point of this style of board: you can set it up to feel hair-trigger fast for games, or dial it back for more controlled typing.
The other highlight is Rapid Tap, which is designed to make quick directional changes and repeated inputs feel snappier—exactly the kind of thing FPS and movement-heavy games reward. You also get the usual benefits of a 60% layout: more mouse space, a tighter setup for smaller desks, and an easier keyboard to throw in a bag if you move between setups.
The value here is performance customization. If you’ve ever felt like your keyboard is the bottleneck—either because it feels sluggish or because you want more control—adjustable actuation is one of the few features that can genuinely change how a board plays, not just how it looks.
This deal also makes sense if you’re upgrading from a basic mechanical keyboard and you want a “one and done” option rather than buying something cheap now and replacing it later. The only real caution is the 60% layout itself: it’s great for gaming and minimal setups, but it can take a little adjustment if you rely heavily on dedicated arrow keys or function rows for work.
At $159.99, this is a solid buy if you want a compact gaming keyboard with adjustable actuation and a speed-focused feature set. Skip it if you know you’ll miss a full-size layout for productivity, or if you’re not going to take advantage of the adjustable switch settings.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
