It’s also a time to get deals on affordable gadgets that can make life a bit easier. One such example is a compact fold-up keyboard, which we think should be part of any Steam Deck owners repertoire. We’ve found three great deals during day 2 of Prime Day, starting with the model that’s featured in our guide to the best accessories for Valve’s Steam Deck handheld PC, the iClever BK08 Bluetooth keyboard that includes a trackpad. It’s just $41.33 (was $52.99).iClever foldable Bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad$41$5323% off$41$41 at AmazonA keyboard like this comes in handy for entering chat text, as well as for more easily navigating the desktop mode of the Steam Deck. It certainly beats using the onscreen keyboard to enter URLs and terminal commands, or more easily navigate the file system, in case you’re into trying emulators. It’s worth noting that this and all other keyboards mentioned in this post work with mobile, tablet, and PC as well.Related:The best gaming deals from day two of October Prime DayIt’s possible that you may not have a regular need for a trackpad, especially if it comes at the cost of losing keys. If so, you can save even more money during Prime Day. The iClever BK03 (pictured at the top of this post) features a more spread out set of keys instead of a trackpad, but the fold-up design is very similar. This model is $31.99 (was $43.99).iClever BK03 foldable keyboard$32$4427% off$32$32 at AmazonBoth of iClever’s keyboards offer low-profile switches, making for a quiet typing experience. However, if you crave the clack of a mechanical keyboard in the form factor of a fold-up, a company called Royal Kludge have answered your very specific desires with its F68 backlit mechanical keyboard. Compared to the iClever models that fold into themselves like a trifold, the F68 folds long ways. It’s also discounted for Prime Day, costing $43.99 (was $54.99).Royal Kludge F68 foldable mechanical keyboard$44$5520% off$44$44 at AmazonLooking for more deals?

Netflix might be controlling its spending a little bit now, but is also still looking to put out gigantic blockbusters that rarely hit the big screen. Up next, we have the Russo Brothers’ The Electric State, an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 illustrated novel of the same name.While the Russos’ The Gray Man didn’t resonate with critics nearly as well as everyone would’ve liked, it did well enough views-wise for Netflix, who remains quite interested in keeping the collaboration with the Marvel Studios legends going. If nothing changes, however, this will be their last Netflix-backed movie before returning to the MCU to tackle both Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Ever since the first-look images were rel…

The latest drama comes from a bunch of fabricated critic quotes plastered all over the new trailer that Lionsgate has put together.Following a less-than-ideal reception (only 53% of critics on RT gave it a thumbs up) at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, some crew members claimed that Coppola’s on-set behavior was unprofessional to say the least. These two snafus alone indicated the self-financed $120 million behemoth, which stars Adam Driver and many other big-name actors, could be facing a lot of trouble when it finally opens (it also struggled to find distribution), but …

Read morePeter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, the next film from the team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, has received its first trailer and it looks like a movie alright.The thing about public domain is that it’s pretty much guaranteed that as soon as something enters it, you’ll have a horror version of it. Why that’s people’s first port of call, only they can say, but I know this fact of life to be true. That’s why quite soon after everyone’s favourite honey-loving bear became public domain, someone decided to make Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a thoroughly mediocre film that so obviously exists purely because someone had to do it. A sequel is actually on the way sometime this year, but there’s already a trailer for the next film after that, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.To see this co…

Read moreIt turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming.Much like the Minecraft movie and the Borderlands movie, the Watch Dogs movie has been in the works for about a decade now, though unlike the Minecraft movie which finally received a trailer last week, and the Borderlands movie which was released last week (and was so abysmal that it got a digital release only three weeks after it came out in cinemas), we haven’t seen all that much of the Ubisoft adaptation. In fact, we haven’t really seen anything, though there were a couple of pieces of casting news earlier this year, as well as one bit this week. With that came a tweet from Ubisoft confirming that uh, filming has been completely finished on the film adaptation of Watch Dogs, though I somehow s…
Read moreTransformers is one of those properties that will probably be around forever in one way or another.

Read moreAlan Wake 2’s highly-anticipated The Lake House DLC will be arriving in October on PS5, after a brief teaser trailer was showcased during today’s State of Play (September 24).In the short trailer for the expansion, which follows Night Springs, we see an eerie lake house, as the title aptly points to. Following that, though, we see an even creepier elevator leading into a fleshy, decrepit hall full of corpses. At the end, in typical Alan Wake style there’s a horrifying flash of the nightmare to come; an all-new Alan Wake DLC.Little is known about what the expansion will entail, but what we do know is that the DLC left Alan Wake 2’s composer “crying constantly”, so we can likely expect something that’ll pull at our heart strings from Remedy Entertainment this time around.…

It wasn’t a surprise that a new game is in the works, Kingdom Hearts 3 ended on quite the cliffhanger and Melody of Memory set that up even further, but in a recent interview with IGN, Sora’s voice actor Haley Joel Osment shared that he didn’t actually know the game was in development. “I hope that we hear something about [Kingdom Hearts 4] sometime soon, I guess it’s rumored that there’s going to be another one,” the actor told IGN.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “I’m always the last to …
