It was inevitable, really. Ever since Logitech revealed a new low-profile gaming keyboard that wasn’t a direct sequel to its flagship G915, gamers were asking when a true successor would arrive. That time has finally come. The Logitech G915 X Lightspeed brings much-improved key switches in both full-size and tenkeyless form factors.

The new model addresses every major issue I had with the original G915, including its tricky-to-replace key caps that faded too quickly, its old-school charging standard, and its modest battery life. But then so did the G515 TKL that filled the void near the start of 2024. Given the full-size G915 X tested here will set you back a considerable $230/£230/€250, that’s quite the premium over the G515 TKL. Do low-profile keyboard fans miss multimedia keys and a metal top plate that much?

Just don’t have enough RGB lighting in your life? That’s not usually a problem for Razer, purveyor of all things illuminated, but its “they’re for gaming but wear ’em outside too if you want” Barracuda headset line-up has been conspicuously LED-free. Until now, that is. The Barracuda X Chroma finally brings fans the the glow-up they’ve been waiting for.

This multi-platform headset doesn’t just give your brain case an RGB recolour, either. It steps up from the entry-level Barracuda X with as much as 20 hours more battery life between charges. You pay a $30/£30 premium for it, but that still puts it at the more affordable end of the spectrum for gaming audio kit that’ll play nicely with PCs, consoles and mobile devices.

Is that enough to make it a top pick among the value-minded competition for everyone – and not just those transfixed by rainbow dazzle?

Don’t think of the Fujifilm UK & Ireland X-M5 as an X100VI with interchangeable lenses. The price is a major clue this offering is more entry-level – yet that doesn’t mean it’s at all compromised.

The lack of EVF may dissuade photographers who can’t break the habit of bringing their camera up to their eyeline to compose a shot, and the compact dimensions won’t please everyone. For snappers migrating from a smartphone, though? Framing using a screen will be far more familiar, and having film simulations within easy reach will also appeal to the Instagram generation. It’s a top choice for budget-minded buyers wanting interchangeable lenses on a small scale.

It might not have much of an official presence here in the West anymore, but phone camera die-hards should still be well versed with Vivo. The firm’s best smartphones have become a photography force to be reckoned with, making it worth jumping through the extra hoops in order to get get hold of one. Spoiler alert: the Vivo X200 Pro continues that trend.

📱 6.78in, 2800×1260 1-120Hz LTPO AMOLED
🕹 MediaTek Dimensity 9400, 12GB/16GB
📸 50MP + 200MP + 50MP rear, 32MP front
💾 256GB/512GB/1TB
🔋 6000mAh w/ 90W wired, 30W wireless charging
☔ IP68/IP69

I was a huge fan of last year’s Vivo X100 Pro, and the successor model promised even greater zoom photos when it landed in China earlier in 2024. It borrows some hardware from the X100’s range-topping Ultra variant, packs in top-tier MediaTek power, and one of the biggest batteries seen in a mainstream phone. The ‘global’ variant I’ve been trialling (which in Vivo terms largely means India and Malaysia) has Google Play on board, too, making it far more appealing to those looking to import than the Chinese original. It’ll set you back ₹95,000 in India, or roughly £890.

After a week or two of testing, it’ll take something pretty special to get me to remove my SIM card from it.

Amazon’s Kindle is the most well-known e-reader with the best reputation. It’s been around for years in one form or another, with regular refreshes as well as new models keeping readers coming back. The star of 2024’s updated line-up is the new Kindle Paperwhite.

The formula hasn’t changed too much: it’s once again packing one of the best displays in the lightest of bodies, and for a pretty reasonable price. More storage and a bigger battery add upgrade appeal, too. The combo made me, a lapsed Kindle owner who’s spent more time reading on his iPad than his previous-gen Paperwhite lately, think twice about e-ink.

After flicking through pages over the last few weeks, here’s how the Kindle Paperwhite (2024) fares in the real world.

Amazon’s Kindle line-up has dominated the e-reader market for years, but second-place Kobo has seemingly been the one leading on innovation. It was first with a colour e-ink reader, and now Amazon is playing catch-up with the Kindle Colorsoft. Yes, without the “u”, as much as it pains me as a British writer.

The biggest change is obviously the colour display, but the device seems very familiar beyond it. Perhaps almost too familiar given the $280/£270 asking price. Having been turning its virtual pages for a few weeks now, I’m not convinced it stacks up in a world where rivals – and tablets – exist.

If the Zeppelin was a musician, it’d have earned a place in the rock and roll hall of fame several times over by this point. Bowers & Wilkins’ seminal wireless speaker has reinvented itself a few times since it debuted as an iPod dock, but has always kept its signature styling intact. This latest version is more a fine tuning, inheriting driver tech from the firm’s loudspeaker line-up and addressing customer feedback about the 2021-vintage iteration.

The Zeppelin Pro Edition remains all-in on wireless streaming, and happily hasn’t seen the price spiral in light of its new internals. A new colour scheme also helps separate it from the regular Zeppelin, and the ambient lighting can be customised for the first time. It lands at $799/£699, putting it up against more traditional-looking premium wireless speakers like the ageing Naim Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation. Are subtle sound gains enough to give it the edge?

Wahoo cycle computers have long been a safe bet among the pedal-proficient. Why? The laser focus on performance, instead of a bunch of frills and features that might not see any use while out on the road. The Elemnt Ace takes that one step further, being the first of its kind with an integrated wind sensor. Calculating air resistance in real time lets it show how much extra work you’re putting in on blustery days, and how drafting impacts your ride.

That should grab the attention of anyone that spends their weekend decked in Lycra somewhere in the middle of a peloton, but there’s plenty here for the more casual cyclist. Wahoo has taken inspiration from the smartphone world, with a larger, clearer screen that gets touch controls for the first time, and a redesigned UI that’s suited to swiping. Impressive battery life and Wahoo’s reliable tracking complete the package.

It lands for less than a Garmin Edge 1050 at $600/£550/€600. Does that make it an affordable flagship as well as a fully-featured one?

Custom keyboards used to be a hobbyist heaven, but now mainstream makers of gaming-grade PC hardware are getting in on the action. Razer's first foray into hot-swappable switches and gasket mounting was the Blackwidow V4, and now there's a Pro version that goes even further upmarket. As well as adding wireless connectivity into the mix, it also finds room for an OLED control screen to make on-the-fly adjustments.

Add in some extensive RGB backlighting and an extensive software suite for fine-grain customisation, and this is about as top-tier as it gets in Razer land - at least, without straying into magnetic switch territory. Those extras have pushed it into the same price bracket as the Hall Effect competition, though, as well as that of boutique board-makers willing to tweak every virtually every aspect of your typing experience. Can an off-the-shelf model with mechanical keys still compete?

As some of the first mirrorless cameras to properly get 4K video recording, the Panasonic Lumix GH series has been a regular go-to for amateur movie makers. The firm’s most recent effort had a Hollywood backlot’s worth of recording formats, along with outstanding image stabilisation in a (relatively) compact body. The GH6 relied on an ageing autofocus system, though.

The Lumix GH7 addresses that pain point, while also improving its smart subject recognition and audio recording abilities. Micro Four Thirds converts will be happy to see Panasonic continuing to fly the flag for the format, too.

Can a new generation of the little sensor that could challenge full-frame filmmakers from the likes of Sony, Canon and the rest?
