ColorWay CW-DL02B-W is a table lamp with a built-in 1800 mAh battery, which is enough for 2-5 hours of illumination depending on the selected brightness. The color temperature (warm, neutral, cold) is adjusted by touch, as well as the angle of inclination so that the light does not hit the eyes. Or you can point it upward to illuminate the entire room, not just the table.

The lamp is charged from a smartphone power supply, power bank or laptop USB port. The lithium battery is filled from zero to a hundred in about 7 hours. A total of 36 SMD LEDs provide a maximum brightness of up to 300 lumens. The glow is soft and uniform, without flickering harmful to the eyes, the PWM effect does not appear even at minimum brightness.

Canyon HSET-W5 is a ready-made keyboard and mouse set with wireless connection via a common 2.4 GHz USB dongle. Both gadgets can be painted in three colors: black with lime green, white with red, and light gray with orange. The keyboard is powered by one AAA alkaline battery, and the mouse by one AA battery. The weight of the mouse without battery is less than 60 grams.

The resource of the microswitches under the LMB and RMB is 3 million clicks. In turn, the keyboard uses more durable scissor switches for 10 million clicks.

The layout is full-size with 105 keys with a numeric block on the right, the engraving of the symbols is laser. Eleven hot keys are responsible for multimedia functions, an additional slot is made for installing a smartphone.

Background noise up to 45 dB is effectively filtered. The suppression strength can be adjusted manually in the proprietary Soundcore application, where the equalizer frequency profiles are also switched.

The Bluetooth 5.3 protocol supports simultaneous connection with two audio sources, such as a laptop and a smartphone, to quickly switch between them.

Patriot Transporter is an external solid-state drive for IT students, businessmen, content creators and, of course, gamers. The capacity can vary from 512 GB to 4 TB, the most optimal, in our opinion, is the one-terabyte model. The compact case, about the size of a lighter, is made of aluminum.

The metal not only adds strength, but also effectively dissipates heat. Sequential read and write speeds reach 1000 MB/s, but only when connected to a USB 3.2 Gen2 or Thunderbolt port. Compatibility with older USB versions (3.0, 2.0, and even 1.1) is also maintained, but each of them imposes increasingly stringent bandwidth restrictions.

The native USB cable has a small Type-C connector on one end and a paired adapter for a large Type-A on the opposite end. This makes the drive extremely versatile: desktop PCs and laptops with Windows and macOS, smartphones and tablets with iOS and Android, Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles. Unlike external hard drives, SSDs are not at all afraid of vibration.
