    Turn out the lights and I’ll glow.

    The Classic-GLO is an $89 glow-in-the-dark mechanical keyboard kit from Novelkeys. It’s just as fun to build and nice to type on as the Classic-TKL I tested and really liked last year, and now it glows in the dark. You know, just in case you need a little more joy on your desk. It comes in three colors, and I tried them all. Check it out:

    The keyboard from 2005 with 113 tiny OLED screens.

    Art Lebedev’s expensive Optimus keyboards seemed like a footnote in tech blogging history until a small German company saw the potential for a new generation of content creators.

    Gordon Mah Ung, legendary tech journalist, has died at 58.

    Gordon was executive editor for hardware at PCWorld, and he spent 16 years before that at Maximum PC. I’m incredibly lucky to have known him. I’m gonna miss the hell out of him.

    This X-Wing keycap set gets it.

    The SA X-Wing keycap set looks like it’s been through hell and patched up with whatever was on hand, just like a Rebel starfighter. It’s the rare Star Wars tie-in that feels like it understands the appeal of the universe.

    The set isn’t new, but it’s on sale at Novelkeys for $75, from $225, which was enough to remind me how cool it is.

    A thrown-together-looking set of keycaps in slightly different shades of beige, cream, white, and grey, with yellow, black, and orange accents, like a beat-up old X-Wing

    Still beautiful. Still good. Still the wrong form factor for basically everybody.

    Arc now works on Windows on Arm.

    The Windows build of the Arc browser finally supports Arm64 processors. I’ve gotten so used to Arc that I really felt its absence on the Surface Pro. But no longer! Now all I have to do is reinstall twenty extensions and I’m back in business. (Tab and bookmark syncing work fine; extension sync doesn’t seem to.)
