In an era where gaming peripherals are constantly evolving, designers are increasingly experimenting with new ways to rethink the relationship between the hand and the controller. Control PlusArc concept controller challenges the familiar joystick-and-button layout with a more tactile and deliberate approach to movement. Interestingly, this exploration arrives around the same time as other unconventional […]

Someone has already printed the Flipper One. Not a real one, but rather a prototype model to show its size compared to the Flipper Zero. First reaction, it’s massive. Second reaction, where did they get the 3D file from? Well, Flipper Devices actually published full mechanical enclosure files for their upcoming Linux-powered handheld on Github.

Spring in Japan is not a season of accumulation. It is a season of editing, of noticing what was already there, of letting a single branch in a ceramic vessel do the work of an entire floral arrangement. The Japanese approach to domestic space has always understood something Western interiors still struggle with: that less

Kids are natural documentarians. Long before anyone hands them a camera, they’re narrating adventures out loud, pointing at bugs, dragging adults toward things worth seeing. The problem is that nothing currently bridges that instinct and an actual usable device. Smartphones are too distracting.

Chess has been redesigned hundreds of times. Most attempts stay within the same visual vocabulary: carved figures, medieval references, stylized horses and crowns. The king still wears his crown, even when the designer strips everything else away. That iconography is stubborn. It follows the game everywhere it goes. Seoul-based designer Lee Jinwook decided not to

Most ceramic art asks you to admire it from a distance. Janny Baek’s work makes you want to lean in closer and check if it’s breathing. Her upcoming solo exhibition, Life Forms, opens at Joy Machine gallery in Chicago on March 20, running through May 9, 2026, and from everything I’ve seen of it, it

Most people who game on a PC own two things that do roughly the same job at different times: a mouse for the desk and a gamepad for the couch. They live side by side, occasionally getting in each other’s way, and neither one is going anywhere. Pixelpaw Labs, a hardware startup from Bangalore, India,

There’s something quietly odd about the era when Apple products were beige. Not bad, just odd. The Macintosh 128K, the boxy rectangular mouse, the Apple Lisa; they were made from a warm off-white plastic that aged into something stranger, a color that collectors now call “Pantone 453 approximately.” Spigen, a brand that usually channels its

Winter pockets are forgiving. Thick jackets and layered coats offer deep storage, and the cold discourages the kind of outdoor tinkering that puts your gear to the test. Spring strips all of that away. Lighter clothing means fewer pockets, tighter fits, and a sudden reckoning with whatever you have been carrying for the past four
