I have been going on plenty of work trips over the last half decade. However, it wasn’t until the past year or so that I really started optimizing my work-trip loadout. That’s in part because it was only during this time that I got my hands on a bunch of Anker products that have been a godsend during these trips.
What these Anker products have done is minimize the number of things I carry during these trips. On top of that, they ensure the many devices I carry are juiced up – granted I remember to actually plug them in.
Here’s a quick list of everything that’s made my life easier.
Anker 3-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charging Station
In all honesty, I wanted the Anker 3-in-1 Cube Portable Charger with Magsafe first. However, I was told by friends who got it that it was pretty heavy and not exactly ideal for travel.
Being redirected to the MagGo Wireless Charging Station turned out to be for the best. Now, I never travel without it. It’s just a convenient charging station that’s permanently parked in my tech pouch.
With it, I get to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously, all while freeing another USB-C slot on my Anker Prime GaN chargers.
Which brings us to the next item on this list.
Anker Prime GaN Wall Charger (100W, 3 Ports) and Anker Fast GaN Charger (140W, 4 Ports, PD 3.1)
The Anker Prime GaN Wall Charger was already such a boon to my suite of accessories. It was small enough to fit any of my on-the-go loadouts, but also powerful enough to charge most of the laptops and smartphones I carry during review periods.
The arrival of the Anker Fast GaN Charger added diversity and power to what I carry. On days that I review some gaming laptops, this one is strong enough to charge them. Note that you will get notifications asking you to use the included charger, but you can just ignore it. This thing has enough juice for your work and low TDP gaming needs. Shoutout to GadgetMatch friends Mark Linsangan for this pro-tip.
This combo gave me a better setup during the trips. The Fast Charger stays on the work desk area while the Wall Charger is situated at my bed-side. It’s extremely helpful since I carry multiple devices on these trips – sometimes 3-4 smartphones, one tablet, one laptop, and occasionally a lav mic set, another tablet, and some portable lights.
Anker PowerExtend USB-C Travel Adapter
This one is a no-brainer. I’ve travelled to North America, Europe, and all over Asia – a travel adapter is a must-have. And Anker’s is easily one of the best ones.
It works well with the chargers mentioned earlier and works as a sort of charger in and of itself when I stay in hotels that have International power outlets.
Anker MagGo Power Bank 10,000mAh/ Anker Zolo Wireless Power Bank (10,000mAh, 30W) Built-in USB-C cable
This one made sure I didn’t need to panic whenever I, inevitably, forget to carry a charging cable. As of writing, I’m still using an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Since adding this to my suite of accessories, I never broke a sweat again when I left the house with just one USB-C to USB-C cable.
I can easily juice up my iPhone when I feel I’m in danger of being out and about more than I intended to. It’s perfect both for long shoot days that start early and extend well into the early evening.

To be honest, I’m not sure how I survived my previous work trips without these Anker products. These have streamlined my travel loadout, powering the many devices I carry during week-long (sometimes lengthier), overseas work trips.

Razer sharpens its competitive edge with Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro
Ultra-light. Ultra-tuned.
Razer expands its pro-grade lineup with a lightweight mouse and a highly customizable mouse mat built for different playstyles. The Razer Viper V4 Pro focuses on speed, precision, and responsiveness, while the Razer Gigantus V2 Pro brings tailored surface options that adapt to how players move.
Lighter, faster, and built for control
The Viper V4 Pro weighs approximately 49g in Black and 50g in White, making it around nine percent lighter than its predecessor. Razer achieves this through mechanical refinements like a thinner shell and a more compact PCB, without compromising durability. The structure still feels solid in hand, even with the aggressive weight reduction.
This balance matters in competitive play. A lighter mouse reduces fatigue and allows quicker adjustments, but stability keeps movements consistent. The Viper V4 Pro aims to deliver both.
Plug in, tweak, and play instantly
Razer also streamlines setup and tuning. The optimized hemispherical dongle maintains stable connectivity while providing quick status updates through LED indicators.
Players can adjust settings without installing software using Razer Synapse Web, enabling browser-based customization. Onboard controls allow quick DPI and polling rate changes mid-match, so adjustments happen without breaking focus.
A mouse mat that adapts to your play style
The Gigantus V2 Pro evolves Razer’s mouse mat lineup by introducing five distinct speed ratings paired with corresponding foam firmness. Instead of a one-size-fits-all surface, players can now choose based on how they aim and move.
Developed with esports pros like Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Faker, and Zellsis, each variant reflects real competitive needs across different roles and playstyles.
The five surface options include:
- Max Control for ultra-high friction and precise flicks
- Control for consistent micro-adjustments
- Balance for a mix of speed and stopping power
- Speed for quicker swipes
- Max Speed for the fastest possible movements
Each surface is paired with Razer’s GlideCore foam, tuned to match the friction profile. Softer variants provide more stopping power, while firmer ones prioritize speed and responsiveness.
Built for consistency across every match
Razer ensures the Gigantus V2 Pro works seamlessly with modern optical sensors. Lab testing guarantees consistent tracking, whether for fine adjustments or wide flicks.
The mat is also designed for competitive environments. It features stitched edges to prevent fraying, an anti-slip base for stability, and a rollable build that makes it easy to bring to tournaments.
A complete competitive setup
Together, the Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro form a cohesive setup that covers both input and surface. The mouse emphasizes low latency, precision tracking, and a shape validated by pros. The mouse mat complements it with clear, playstyle-based options.
Rather than focusing on a single standout feature, Razer builds a system. One that supports consistent performance, adapts to player preference, and helps turn practice into results when it matters most.

Logitech G debuts PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE with faster click tech
Faster clicks, deeper control
Logitech G is pushing competitive gaming performance further with the launch of the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. It’s a next-generation wireless mouse built around a new click system designed for speed and control.
At the center of the PRO X2 is its patent-pending SUPERSTRIKE technology. It reduces the travel distance needed to register a click, cutting latency by up to 30 milliseconds based on internal testing. The result is faster inputs that can make a difference in high-stakes, split-second moments.
The mouse also introduces the Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), replacing traditional mechanical microswitches. Instead of relying on physical contact, it delivers tactile feedback the moment a click signal is sent, helping players feel each input in real time.
Customizable clicks for competitive play
Developed with esports teams like G2 Esports, NAVI, and BLG, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE focuses on precision and consistency. It supports 10 selectable actuation levels, allowing users to fine-tune how deep a click needs to be before it registers.
These adjustments can be made through Logitech G HUB, giving players the flexibility to match their setup to different games, roles, or playstyles without interrupting gameplay.
The mouse also uses Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology with up to an 8kHz polling rate. This ensures fast and stable performance without the limitations of a wired connection.
Precision tracking and lightweight build
Powering the PRO X2 is Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor. It supports up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS tracking speed, and over 88G acceleration. Logitech says tracking remains free of smoothing, acceleration, or filtering, allowing for more consistent and direct input.
Despite its performance-focused internals, the mouse keeps a lightweight build at 61 grams. Logitech says this supports faster movements and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
Battery life is rated at up to 90 hours on a single charge, letting players stay in the game longer without interruptions.
Price and availability
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is priced at PhP 11,945. It is available in the Philippines via Shopee and authorized Logitech retailers.
