Prices for these popular computer accessories are going up

MX Master 3S mouse
Logitech

Logitech has bumped up prices by up to 25% on a bunch of its products, probably because of tariffs on stuff coming in from China. A video breakdown by Cameron Dougherty (via 9to5Mac) shows that around 51% of Logitech’s lineup is feeling the impact, with an average price hike of about 14%.

For instance, the MX Master 3S mouse has increased by $20 to $119.99, the Pro X TKL keyboard shot up from $199.99 to $219.99, and the K400 Plus Wireless Touch keyboard is now $34.99 after a $7 increase (that’s a 25% jump!).

On the bright side, not everything has seen price increases—the MX Ergo mouse and the G703 gaming mouse are still at their old prices. You might even find better deals on Amazon, which could help balance out those hikes.

These price increases come right after Logitech pulled its financial outlook for 2026, thanks to “tariff uncertainty” tied to President Trump’s trade policies. It had originally predicted sales for 2026 to be between $4.53 billion and $4.71 billion, but is still sticking with its 2025 sales forecast.

Experts say Logitech’s pricing often sets the trend for other brands, so we might soon see similar increases from competitors.

In recent weeks, President Trump has announced various tariffs worldwide, leading to much uncertainty worldwide.

Currently, China is facing exceptionally high tariff rates from the Trump administration. These began with a 10% tariff on all imports from China that took effect February 4, 2025, which was then increased by another 10% on March 4.

The tariff situation has escalated significantly, with China now facing up to a 245% tariff on some imports to the United States. This includes a 125% “reciprocal” tariff, a 20% tariff related to the fentanyl crisis, and existing Section 301 tariffs that range from 7.5% to 100% on specific goods.

Unlike other countries that received a 90-day pause on new tariffs above the 10% baseline, China has been excluded from this reprieve. While imports from most other countries maintain the 10% baseline tariff, China’s minimum tariff rate was increased to 145%.

Microsoft’s new Surface PCs are cheaper — but there’s a catch
Cardboard, Box, Carton

The tech industry’s favorite balancing act is getting harder by the month. Component prices are rising, memory costs refuse to settle down, and laptop makers are scrambling to keep sticker shock under control. Microsoft’s latest Surface refresh feels like a direct response to that problem.

The company has introduced new entry-level versions of its 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface laptop, offering lower starting prices without changing the processor or storage. On the surface, that sounds like good news for budget-conscious buyers. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll find a compromise hiding in plain sight.

A new supercomputer has dethroned the U.S — here’s why it matters
Crowd, Person, Architecture

The race to build the world’s fastest supercomputer has been dominated by the United States. Now, China has stormed back into the lead. A newly ranked system called LineShine has claimed the No. 1 position on the latest Top500 list, a closely watched ranking of the planet’s most powerful supercomputers. The machine, located in Shenzhen, pushed past the U.S. government’s El Capitan system and became the first Chinese computer to top the list since 2017. That’s notable on its own. But what makes LineShine particularly interesting is how it got there.
