According to Bloomberg, the next versions of Apple’s operating systems may be labeled by year, starting now. It makes sense. At this point, we’ve got VisionOS 2, watchOS 11, macOS 15, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. Instead, they might all be tagged 26 — even if they launch this year. It’s not the first tech company to align new products with the year of release. Samsung started naming its phones by year of release in 2020 with the S20, which followed the S10.

Pulsar Pulsar’s latest competitive gaming mouse features a premium tiny fan from Noctua, the renowned fan brand. (Apparently, no one makes fans quite like the Austrians). With a skeletal shell designed to enhance airflow, it’s for sweaty-palmed professional gamers. Like the original Feinmann mouse from Pulsar, it has a 32,00 DPI sensor and an ultra-fast 8,000 Hz polling rate. Due to the fan, it’s a little heavier than the original at 65 grams. And the price of dry palm calm? $180. Continue reading.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/general/the-morning-after-engadget-newsletter-121525453.html?src=rss

Pulsar's latest competitive gaming mouse will literally help you keep your cool during intense matches. The gaming gear company joined forces with Noctua, known for its quiet fans in its signature earthy-brown tones, for a remix of its lightweight Feinmann mouse. The two brands wanted a solution for gamers whose hands get especially sweaty, leading them to jam a 4x4 cm Noctua fan inside a Pulsar mouse. It's not the first time we've seen a computer fan inside a gaming mouse, but it will be the first one to house Noctua's premium fans that keep noise to a minimum. Looking at the updated Feinmann mouse's design, it's a match made in heaven. Pulsar's mouse already has large gaps in its shell to make for a lightweight build, but also a perfect opening for Noctua to squeeze its fans inside. Buying this mouse won't magically boost you to Radiant in Valorant, but it won't be sweaty hands holding you back. Don't forget this is a mouse made for competitive gaming, so it will share the specs from the original Feinmann that has a 32,00 DPI sensor and an ultra-fast 8,000 Hz polling rate. Considering the extra element, the Noctua collaboration will be heavier than the original at 65 grams and have a battery life of 10 to 11 hours, according to Pulsar. The mouse is still a prototype that was available to demo at Computex 2025, but it's expected to hit the market later this year. With the Feinmann retailing for $179.95, don't be surprised if the Noctua collab is more expensive than that.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/this-gaming-mouse-has-a-tiny-fan-inside-to-keep-sweaty-palms-at-bay-161723820.html?src=rss

Anyone who’s spent hours at their computer, whether gaming or working, knows that sweaty hands can ruin a good session. Ergonomic mice help with grip and comfort, but rarely do they address the clammy, uncomfortable feeling that comes from long periods of intense clicking and scrolling. Enter the Feinmann Noctua Edition skeleton mouse, a playful and techy solution to the age-old problem of sweaty palms. Most gaming mice focus on buttons, DPI, and flashy RGB lighting, but rarely do you see a mouse designed to keep your hand cool. The Feinmann Noctua Edition breaks the mold by building a mini fan right into the body of the mouse. It might sound like a frivolous feature, but it’s a game-changer that could mean the difference between a fumbled shot and a flawless clutch moment for competitive gamers. Designer: Pulsar Gaming x Noctua The first thing you’ll notice about the Feinmann Noctua Edition is its wild, skeletal look. The perforated shell exposes the inner workings of the mouse, following the trend of “showing off the guts” rather than hiding them. Not only does this give the device a striking, almost futuristic vibe, but it also allows for better airflow even before you flip that fan switch. The real innovation, however, is the partnership between Feinmann and Noctua, the Austrian brand beloved by PC builders for its high-performance cooling fans. The Noctua Edition squeezes a tiny, powerful 4×4 centimeter fan into the mouse’s frame, gently circulating air over your palm during those marathon gaming sessions. It might sound like overkill, but for anyone who’s struggled with a slippery grip or uncomfortable heat, it’s a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. Unlike the original Feinmann F01, the Noctua Edition swaps out the usual gaming mouse colors for Noctua’s distinctive beige-and-brown palette. Love it or hate it, this unique color scheme is a badge of honor for hardcore PC enthusiasts who know the Noctua brand on sight. If you want that signature cooling, you’ll have to embrace the look: quirky, retro, and oh-so-functional. Even with its playful design, the Feinmann Noctua Edition doesn’t skimp on performance. The skeletonized structure keeps it lightweight for quick flicks and precise movements, while the fan adds a subtle hum that’s oddly satisfying. This is a mouse that’s equal parts conversation starter and serious tool, aimed at gamers who want every possible edge or who simply want to stay cool under pressure. With more makers and brands experimenting with the internals of our everyday gear, the Feinmann Noctua Edition mouse is a fun reminder that there’s always room for innovation. Whether you’re a sweaty-palmed gamer or just love unique tech, this mouse proves sometimes it pays to keep your cool.The post Gaming Mouse with Tiny Fan Keeps Your Hand Cool and Comfortable first appeared on Yanko Design.

Not often have I heard of a mouse overheating and blowing up in the hand. The little computing rodent is safe to deal with. Not surprisingly then, we are consciously okay handling them during those nerve-wrecking battles and work hours extending beyond dawn. But the same cannot be said for sticky, sweaty hands you’re left with on the plasticky mice. Notwithstanding, no one has thought of giving the mouse a fan, until now. Noctua, the famous Austrian computer hardware manufacturer, that has for years kept CPUs cool with its incredible fans, has teamed with Pulsar for a gaming mouse with a built-in fan. The beige and brown Noctua fans have been part of our lives, ever so quietly beefing up our devices’ performance. Now a small Noctua is finding its way into Pulsar’s flagship mouse. The idea of the fan inside a mouse is simple, to keep the hand dry; not that we thought the innards of the mouse required cooling. Designer: Noctua x Pulsar Showcased at the 2025 Computex in Taipei, Taiwan, the Pulsar x Noctua gaming mouse is based on the Pulsar Feinman F01, whose internals have been adjusted to integrate a 40 mm Noctua NF-A4x10 5-Volt PWM fan. The exterior of the mouse is an innovative magnesium alloy exoskeleton with cutouts to direct airflow to your palm, keeping it chill when the going gets tough. For the new collaboration, Pulsar has painted its flagship Feinmann mouse in Noctua colours, including a fan – which of course is in signature beige-brown outfit. The co-branded mouse is called the Pulsar x Feinman Noctua Edition and, despite the fan onboard, is said to have ultra-quiet operation. According to the available information, the fan inside of the mouse runs almost quietly with a noise level of 17.9dB. Since quietness and the idea to keep the sweating palm dry don’t make for a good gaming mouse, the Pulsar x Feinman Noctua borrows all its impeccable features from its predecessor. For a gamer’s benefit, the lightweight wireless mouse has a XS-1 sensor delivering an awesome 32,000 dpi. To ensure smooth gameplay, it offers 8 kHz polling rate, an acceleration of 50G, and a speed of 750 IPS, and comes with its own charging dock. There is no word on the exact weight of the mouse, or how much the fan eats up on the battery, but considering Feinmann F01 weighs only 46g, thanks to its magnesium housing, the fan-based mouse probably weighs just as much. Same is for the price, the F01 costs about $180 and the Pulsar x Feinman Noctua Edition is expected to cost $200, when it goes on sale in November 2025.

In context: Noctua is mostly known for its fans, CPU heatsinks, and other cooling products for computing devices. The Austrian company also cooperates with third-party peripheral and GPU manufacturers, though its latest partnership is likely the most unusual so far. Noctua is putting a 4x4 cm (1.57 x 1.57 inches) fan inside a competitive gaming mouse made by Pulsar Gaming Gears. The Korean peripheral manufacturer announced the oddity ahead of Computex, promising that the new mouse would be demoed during the computer hardware show held in Taipei, Taiwan. Noctua is well-known for the "exceptional" cooling performance of its fans, Pulsar stated, while gamers – and competitive gamers in particular – are prone to sweating during esports events. The Asian manufacturer is therefore equipping its pre-existing Feinmann gaming mouse with a tiny Noctua fan, so that gamers can be comfortable even in the heat of the most ferocious (e)battles. Pulsar didn't have to reinvent the wheel, as the Feinmann already includes a very light shell riddled with holes. The Feinmann F01 is an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse weighing just 46g, providing all the features a competitive player would expect, including an 8,000Hz polling rate, a 32,000 DPI sensor, a "fast" 8K docking charger, and more. Thanks to the newly embedded Noctua fan, gamers buying the new Feinmann model can expect their hands to be constantly cool. Even users with particularly sweaty grips should enjoy a more comfortable gaming experience. We would very much like to test Pulsar's statements while replaying Doom Eternal's DLC 1 during summer months, just to be absolutely sure it really works the way the manufacturer says. // Related Stories Some Computex attendees say the Noctua-powered Feinmann mouse is indeed comfortable and the additional air flow keeps palms cool. Pulsar's product doesn't appear to be just a gimmick, though the specs are clearly being affected by the new fan. The mouse weight is now a bit higher (65g), while battery life should be around 10-11 hours. Pulsar said the mouse is still a prototype, so battery life and other specs are "preliminary." Modern wireless mice can go on for hundreds of hours on a single charge, so we're curious to know how the final product will turn out. The standard version of the Feinmann F01 Gaming Mouse is currently on sale at $180, so we expect the new model will cost more than that.
