										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Razer’s iconic ergonomic RGB gaming mouse pairs next-gen technologies and an upgraded design with more controls, better precision, and Razer Chroma™ RGB for every preference, launching alongside the new Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro. IRVINE, CALIF. – OCTOBER 8, 2026 – Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the launch of the Razer Basilisk V4 Pro, the latest evolution of its iconic ergonomic gaming mouse, together with the Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro wireless charging dock. The Basilisk V4 Pro keeps the ergonomic shape players trust and delivers key upgrades, from 14 customizable controls and the new Razer™ HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 to the Razer™ Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3, and HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2. The Basilisk V4 Pro also brings 7-zone Razer Chroma RGB with full underglow and 5-way multi-device connectivity to move across an entire setup at the touch of a button. The result is one mouse that no longer asks gamers to choose between comfort, customization, performance, and immersion. Never a Compromise. Fan Favorite, Evolved. Gamers have always had to choose. Comfort or customization. Performance or immersion. The Basilisk line has never accepted that trade and has long been a trusted choice for players who want one ergonomic mouse to handle every game they play. “The Basilisk has always been about giving players the freedom to play their way,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “With the Basilisk V4 Pro, we’ve elevated that experience with a refined design, greater control, our most advanced scroll wheel, sensor, and immersive Chroma RGB lighting. It’s the ultimate expression of what a Basilisk can be, built to bring precision, control, and immersion to every game and every setup.” The Apex Returns Fans have championed every generation of the Basilisk, so the Basilisk V4 Pro keeps everything they love and gives them even more. The iconic silhouette and signature thumb rest remain, while the acclaimed multi-function trigger has been repositioned for a more natural reach. The shape also makes room for a third side button and an all-new M1 edge button. Despite added features, the Basilisk V4 Pro still manages to weigh 12 g lighter than its predecessor. Deeper Control The acclaimed multi-function trigger returns, joined by a third side button and an all-new M1 edge button for 14 customizable controls in total. Map any button to Razer Hypershift to unlock secondary functions, while macros and smart profiles in Razer Synapse switch layouts automatically the moment a linked game launches. The new Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 adds more ways to scroll. Tactile mode delivers familiar 24-step scrolling, the new Precision Tactile mode adds finer 48-step control for cycling through hotbars and abilities, and Free-Spin makes long scrolls fast and smooth, with Smart-Reel mode switching between tactile and free-spin automatically based on scroll speed and tunable in Razer Synapse. Virtual Acceleration, also in Razer Synapse, dynamically increases scroll speed as players scroll faster, with 5 acceleration levels to match their playstyle. First-Class Precision Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2, with true 8000Hz polling available in both wireless and wired modes. Frame Sync allows the sensor to deliver just-in-time scanning and reporting for ultra-low latency performance. Driving that precision is the Razer Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3, delivering up to 50,000 DPI, 930 IPS, and 90 G acceleration, with Frame Sync aligning sensor scanning to the mouse’s polling cycle for lower motion latency and better battery efficiency. Asymmetric Cut-Off gives players independent control over lift-off and landing distance, letting them fine-tune tracking behavior for cleaner resets and more consistent aim. Perform instant 180-degree turns on any map with Perfect 180, giving low-sensitivity FPS players a competitive edge, while Dynamic Sensitivity and Mouse Rotation let players fine-tune aim to their playstyle – all enabled via Razer Synapse. Moreover, Razer™ Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4 are rated for 100 million clicks with 12% lighter actuation for crisp, consistent presses with zero debounce delay. True Immersion The 7-zone Razer Chroma RGB with full underglow is designed so the lighting projects down and disperses outward, staying visible in any grip. Each zone offers customization across 16.8 million colors, reacts dynamically across 300+ Chroma-integrated games, and syncs with compatible Razer devices as well as over 50 partner products. Built for the longest sessions, players can enjoy up to 200 hours on HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 at 1,000 Hz and up to 275 hours on Bluetooth® 6.2. 5-way multi-device connectivity, spanning HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2, newly upgraded Bluetooth® 6.2 with up to 3 paired devices, and wired mode lets players move across setups like a gaming rig, laptop, and tablet seamlessly at the touch of a button. One Mouse. No Compromise. Control: 14 customizable controls, including an all-new M1 edge button and third side button, plus the Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 with Dual Tactile modes, Free-Spin or auto-switch between modes in Smart-Reel. Precision: The Razer Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3 and true 8,000 Hz wireless polling, backed by Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4 rated for 100 million clicks. Immersion: 7-zone Razer Chroma RGB with full underglow, up to 200 hours of battery life, and 5-way multi-device connectivity. With the Basilisk V4 Pro, Razer raises the standard for ergonomic gaming mice, giving players more control, precision, and deeper immersion without compromise. Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro: Powered. Paired. Ready. Launching alongside the Basilisk V4 Pro, the Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro combines effortless magnetic wireless charging with high-performance connectivity. Players can simply place the mouse on the dock to charge and pick it up ready to go, while the integrated 8,000 Hz transceiver enables Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 performance. Razer™ HyperSpeed Multi-Device Support also lets compatible1&nbsp;Razer mice and keyboards connect through the dock for a cleaner setup, complemented by 8-zone Chroma RGB underglow, a charge status indicator, and an anti-slip base that anchors it to the desk. Razer also offers other wireless charging options, such as the Razer HyperFlux V2, giving gamers the flexibility to choose the charging solution that best suits their needs and…]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Gears of War: E-Day, the origin story of the long-running Gears of War franchise, launched on Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass, and, although Microsoft has been building hype for the new Gears game for several months leading up to launch day, the game&#8217;s launch performance on Steam is less than stellar. According to SteamDB, E-Day peaked at a somewhat underwhelming 31,517 concurrent players on Steam, although there&#8217;s a strong chance much of its player base is playing the game via Game Pass or on the Xbox Series consoles. To be fair, the game launched in the middle of the week, so we may see an upward trend in player counts over launch weekend. Read&nbsp;More]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[AMD has confirmed that its FSR 4 machine learning upscaling technology will be available for APUs with integrated graphics by the end of this year. Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of the computing and graphics group, shared this news with the South Korean media in Seoul. He mentioned that FSR 4 will be coming to more devices as AMD optimizes the software stack for APUs. Initially, FSR 4 was only available on RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards. This summer, AMD added support for FSR 4 on RDNA 3 hardware with Radeon RX 7000 series discrete graphics cards. However, APUs like &#8220;Strix Halo,&#8221; which feature RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, were not supported. Now, it appears these models will receive official support by the end of the year.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Microsoft has unveiled a rebuilt Windows 11 Search at its Windows and Surface event, and it can now change system settings straight from the taskbar. Windows chief Pavan Davuluri showed it on stage, and Microsoft says the box will handle thousands of quick actions typed as simple commands. Examples include &#8220;switch to dark mode&#8221;, &#8220;turn on Bluetooth&#8221;, &#8220;dim my screen&#8221;, &#8220;mute&#8221;, and &#8220;minimize all my windows&#8221;. Microsoft says these are only the first batch, and Phone Link actions such as sending a text message from a connected phone are also planned. The more interesting part for enthusiasts is probably under the hood. The new Search is built on WinUI 3, which Microsoft says makes it faster and lighter on system resources, and early testing apparently showed sizable gains in speed and memory use.

The announcement came at the company&#8217;s Windows and Surface keynote in San Francisco, with a starting price of $2,599 and shipments set to begin on October 16. Microsoft first showed the laptop at Computex in June without a price or a launch date. The base model gets a 15-inch mini-LED display and the lower of the two NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X configurations, which means an 18-core CPU, a 5,120-core Blackwell GPU, and 24 GB of unified memory. The 20-core version with a 6,144-core GPU starts at $3,699 with 32 GB, and the top model with 128 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD costs a steep $5,899. The only 2 TB option is a 64 GB model at $4,699. A Surface RTX Spark Dev Box was also announced at a hefty $5,999. Read&nbsp;More]]></content:encoded>

This is great news for the company, as its previous HBM3E didn&#8217;t meet NVIDIA&#8217;s requirements, leading NVIDIA to choose Samsung for GDDR7 only, instead of HBM3E. The new HBM generation brings significant advancements, and Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers with designs currently running at 14 Gbps per pin and 2,048 pins per HBM4E stack. Samsung can achieve a maximum bandwidth of 3.6 TB/s, and at 16 Gbps, this maximum memory bandwidth will increase to 4 TB/s for a single HBM4E stack. Read&nbsp;More]]></content:encoded>

As readers may recall, Intel is already planning &#8220;Raptor Lake Next&#8221; chips as an update to its Socket LGA-1700 desktop processors. These chips are necessary to provide options for PC buyers who are stuck with the decade-old DDR4 memory standard due to the DDR5 memory pricing crisis, given that the current Core Ultra &#8220;Arrow Lake&#8221; processors lack DDR4 backward compatibility.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Forza Horizon 6 will apparently reach the PlayStation 5 on January 26, 2027, according to billbil-kun, the generally reliable leaker at Dealabs. That would put the port a little over eight months behind the Xbox Series X|S and PC versions, which launched on May 19, and it would miss the 2026 window that Microsoft and Playground Games have been promising since January. The game is also said to be getting a physical disc release on the same day as the digital version. That is a change from Forza Horizon 5, which arrived on PS5 in April 2025 as a digital-only title. Pricing is reportedly set at €69.99 in Europe and £59.99 in the UK, the same as the Xbox version, and billbil-kun expects the US price to land at $69.99.
