Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 Mouse with built-in display — Turtle Beach

Turtle Beach has always had a knack for making gear that feels like it was designed by someone who refused to stop adding features. Their own brand slogan about being ‘Seriously Unserious’ is a perfect match for the new MC7 gaming mouse. It’s basically a maximalist’s dream, featuring a small command screen built into it, because apparently, the keyboard, stream deck, phone, monitor overlay, and software dashboard were not enough.

A tiny stream deck in mouse form

The MC7’s headline feature is its 2.25-inch Command Touch Display. Turtle Beach says the display can be used to adjust DPI, switch profiles, trigger macros, launch apps, control OBS and Streamlabs, manage audio, and check PC or game data in real time. In other words, your mouse now wants to be part gaming peripheral, part mini control panel, mostly so you’ll finally stop alt-tabbing every five minutes.

Streamers and multitaskers will likely get the most out of the MC7. It handles mic muting, scene switching, and audio balancing across Discord, Spotify, and games, all without needing another gadget. It’s a little outrageous, and that seems to be the whole idea.

The serious part of this unserious mouse

Beyond the playful idea, Turtle Beach has still packed in the expected high-end mouse features. The MC7 supports tri-mode connectivity, including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB. It also gets true 8K polling with a claimed 0.125ms latency, an Owl-Eye 30K optical sensor, Titan Optical Switches rated for 150 million clicks, and an adaptive 4D scroll wheel that can switch between tactile steps and smooth free-spin scrolling.

The power setup is just as overengineered. Turtle Beach includes two 1,000mAh hot-swappable batteries and a charging dock, so one battery can charge while the other keeps the mouse running. The MC7 also supports up to 33 programmable functions, five onboard profiles, RGB lighting, and Swarm II software for deeper customization.

The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 is priced at $159.99 and is available for pre-order, with shipping expected on July 19, 2026. At this price, you can get your hands on the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but the premium price might be justifiable once you remember this is basically a gaming mouse trying to moonlight as a stream deck.

Epic is improving its game launcher with a long overdue speed boost and plenty of new features

Epic Games Store Launcher V2 could finally address years of user complaints

Epic Games has spent years trying to make the Epic Games Store a serious rival to Steam. It has given away free games, signed exclusivity deals, and kept major PC releases such as Borderlands 3, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria away from Valve’s storefront at launch. Those moves have helped Epic build an audience, but they have not been enough to seriously threaten Steam’s position as the default PC gaming platform.

One problem has been the launcher itself. Earlier this year, an Epic executive admitted to Eurogamer that the launcher “sucks,” and the company now appears to be working on a much bigger fix. According to slides from an Unreal Fest presentation shared by LuKaOnIndeed on X, Epic is developing Launcher V2, a ground-up rebuild of the Epic Games Store launcher that is supposed to be much faster and easier to use.

Forget RTX filters. BenQ’s gaming monitor does the pretty stuff itself

BenQ’s AI game filters are what I wanted RTX filters to be

BenQ AI Gaming Monitor Filters

I’ve spent years messing with in-game brightness sliders, GPU filters, HDR modes, and monitor presets to tinker with my experience on my favorite games. Of course, I'd always go with the original artists' intent first, but replaying these titles with new filters does freshen up the atmosphere.

This is why I was particularly impressed by BenQ’s new MOBIUZ gaming monitors. During a recent visit to BenQ’s Taiwan HQ, I got a hands-on look at the company’s latest AI-powered game filter tech, and it immediately made more sense than I expected. The company isn't just slapping on the "AI" sticker onto a gaming display. What you are getting here is custom touches to change up your experience by pulling from BenQ’s game art database that automatically tunes brightness, contrast, and color balance to match the game’s visual style. The fun part is that your performance doesn't take a hit.

Sony’s wild PSN login patent could turn the DualSense into a security gatekeeper

A newly published filing outlines controller-based sign-ins for PlayStation users, aiming to make stolen accounts harder to exploit.

Sony has filed a PSN login patent, first spotted by RespawnFirst, that would pull the DualSense controller into the sign-in process. A PlayStation console would start the request, then the controller would help confirm that the account holder is close enough to approve access.

For players, the appeal is easy to see. PSN account abuse can lead to unauthorized purchases, lost access, and attempts to resell established accounts. Sony already offers 2-step verification and passkeys, but this idea adds a hardware check to the login chain.
