The latest Prime Day sale is here, and as expected, Amazon is advertising an array of deals on video games and gaming accessories. Also as expected, most of those offers aren't all that good. So allow us to do the research for you. To help those looking to upgrade their battle station or extend their backlog, we've picked out the best Amazon Prime Day discounts on gaming gear below. While the selection isn't as vast as what we'll see around Black Friday, we're still seeing lower-than-usual prices on well-reviewed games for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. There's also a few decent deals on gaming mice, headsets, laptops and other accessories we've tested and can recommend. As a reminder, this year's Prime Day runs through July 17, and you'll need to be a Prime member to access most of the discounts.

I hate the Rabbit R1. It's yet another sign that standalone AI gadgets, like the Humane AI Pin, are fundamentally useless devices meant to attract hype and VC funding without benefitting users at all. It's like trying to build a skyscraper on quicksand: Today's AI models are great for parlor tricks, but they're ultimately untrustworthy. How do you create a device around that? The Rabbit R1's big selling point has been its "large action model," or LAM, which can supposedly understand what you say and get things done.

At least, that was my takeaway after my first chat with the founder of Rabbit Inc., a new AI startup debuting a pocket-friendly device called the R1 at CES 2024. Instead of taking out your smartphone to complete some task, hunting for the right app, and then tapping around inside it, Lyu wants us to just ask the R1 via a push-to-talk button. Then a series of automated scripts called "rabbits" will carry out the task so you can go about your day. The R1 is a red-orange, square-ish device about the size of a stack of Post-It notes. It was designed in collaboration with the Swedish firm Teenage Engineering.

The Xbox Adaptive Controller was Microsoft's first real attempt at making accessible hardware. And while it was very well-received, it didn't really impact non-gamers. Today, the company is launching a new product with a much wider audience: a mouse. The Microsoft Adaptive Mouse kit actually consists of a mouse, attachable tail, hub and button. They're modular and highly customizable, offering a wide variety of ways for people with different needs to interact with their laptops, tablets or phones.

Logitech has announced a pair of new computer mice with the MX Master 2S and the MX Anywhere 2S. Both are updated versions of Logitech's previous MX models, and both come with a new "Flow" feature for multiple computer support. Logitech's MS Master and MX Anywhere were both considered to be the company's two best mice, and it just seems appropriate that both have new, upgraded models. Like with its previous iteration, the MX Master 2S's thumb wheel can be customized with additional functions through the Logitech Options software. As for the MX Anywhere 2S, it comes with the same speed adaptive scroll wheel feature.
