Devyn Johnston Assembles One of the Thinnest RTX 5090 Gaming PCs Ever Seen

By Jackson Chung October 15, 2026

Devyn Johnston has spent years chasing smaller and smaller gaming machines, and this latest effort pushes that habit into territory that feels almost stubborn. Inside the ZCOOI Mugitya FE9, an RTX 5090 Founders Edition sits in a chassis that measures only 56 mm thick across the top and 79 mm at the base, all while still packing a full desktop processor and a 1000-watt power supply. The case arrives as a set of thick CNC-machined aluminum pieces, each finished in black or silver anodizing with a few gray-gold accents on the nameplate and front panel, and the whole collection ships inside its own aluminum carrying case.

Bio-Inspired Whiskers Enable Tiny Flying Drones to Navigate and Explore Total Darkness by Touch

By Jackson Chung October 14, 2026

Rats and mice move through pitch-black burrows and narrow tunnels by brushing long, sensitive whiskers against nearby surfaces. Those same whiskers detect contact forces with almost no pressure, letting the animals build a mental map of walls, corners and openings without ever relying on sight. Researchers at Delft University of Technology have now translated that approach to a palm-sized flying robot, mounting a pair of artificial whiskers on a Crazyflie drone that weighs roughly 44 grams once the sensors are added.

InkBoy Runs Classic Game Boy Games at 30 Frames on Tiny E-Paper

By Bill Smith October 14, 2026

A Waveshare board built for reading pages now keeps up with running and jumping. InkBoy fits a full Game Boy emulator onto the ESP32-S3-ePaper-1.54 V2, a compact module with a 1.54-inch panel that measures 200 by 200 pixels. Stock software on that panel barely managed two updates each second. Custom driving code raises the rate to roughly thirty, enough for Super Mario Land and other original titles to feel responsive instead of frozen between frames.

Xbox Nano Controller Delivers Complete Controls in a Tiny Rechargeable Form for Everyday Portability

By Bill Smith October 14, 2026

Microsoft has rolled out the Xbox Nano Controller today as its smallest option yet, measuring a little over five inches in length and weighing just 3.5 ounces. That makes it shorter and lighter than most modern smartphones, and a clear step down in bulk from the standard Xbox Wireless Controller, which runs closer to six inches wide and roughly ten ounces once batteries go in. Pre-orders opened immediately at $49.99, with stock set to reach stores in November across the United States and more than thirty other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and several across Europe and Latin America.

Sony ULT Wear Headphones Deliver Flagship Features and Powerful Bass at a Midrange Price

By Bill Smith October 14, 2026

Most people scanning store shelves for solid over-ear noise-canceling headphones still land on Bose QuietComfort models or Apple’s AirPods Max. Sony has quietly offered a strong alternative since the ULT Wear, priced at $148 (was $248), arrived a little while ago, packing many of the same processor tricks found in the brand’s more expensive WH-1000XM5 while adding a dedicated button that ramps up low-end punch on demand.
