7 Retro Handhelds So Good They Actually Beat Consoles

Killscreen’s N64 Funtastic-inspired Translucent Blue PS5 Controller Is Pure 1999 Nostalgia

This $37.5 Clip-On EDC Flashlight Does Something a $200 Olight Still Cannot… Measure Distances

The humble flashlight is older than you probably think. The first handheld electric torch was patented in 1899, and for the better part of 127 years, the core concept barely changed: battery, bulb, switch, done. LED technology gave it a serious brightness upgrade. Rechargeable cells made it more practical. But the fundamental experience of using
