OnePlus introduces Explorer Backpack — and I want it!

Launching along with the OnePlus 6T

All eyes will be on the OnePlus 6T launch at the end of this month, but my money will likely be spent on the accompanying backpack instead.

OnePlus revealed through its official forum that the new Explorer Backpack is set to be revealed on October 30, as well.

As you may or may not know, the tech startup is no stranger to creating sleek accessories to match whatever phone they have in stock; I myself had their first-generation backpack.

While it wasn’t the best backpack in the world — it wore out easily and got replaced by the more rugged Xiaomi backpack I use now — Project Manager Donna L. touts that this model will last for “years to come.”

There are no pictures of the interior, but it supposedly has multiple compartments, including a secret pocket on the back — which is important for a techie such as myself who has multiple gadgets at once.

Other features include a compartment with breathable vents, premium magnetic Fidlock, and two colors to choose from: Slate Black or Morandi Green.

Price and availability will hopefully be announced on stage in New York. I can already smell it.

Inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume

GameSir has officially launched a special edition G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition controller.

This high-performance multi-platform controller works with Xbox, PC, and Android, and features a striking new design that ties in with 505 Games’ latest title.

The controller is now available on the GameSir website for US$ 99.99 / £ 109.99 / PhP 5,900. It will be available on Amazon as well by October.

The G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume.

It has a distinct blue green appearance, with both sides draped in golden dragon scales that have been enhanced with layered UV resin textures.

The smart charging station features the Soulslike title’s logo, while the A, Y, X, and B buttons also have the game’s font.

Beyond aesthetics, the controller retains key features from the original G7 Pro. It features tri-mode connectivity so users can connect via 2.4GHz wireless, wired, or Bluetooth. It also supports one-press wake-up for Xbox consoles.

At the core of the controller’s precision is GameSir Mag-Res TMR stick technology. This combines the low power consumption of traditional potentiometers and the longevity and stability of Hall Effect sticks.

The result is faster response times, as well as consistent in-game control. This is further supported by a 1000Hz polling rate when connected to PC or 2.4GHz.

In addition, the G7 Pro introduces four customizable macro buttons: two mini bumpers and two lockable back buttons. This gives gamers a flexible configuration. A built-in gyroscope (for PC only) also enables intuitive motion input mapping.

Furthermore, the optical micro switch ABXY buttons and mechanical micro D-pad ensure crisp, esports-level feedback. The four independent rumble motors (one in each grip and trigger) deliver immersive, localized haptic feedback.

Accessories include:

  • 3m Type-C cable
  • 2.4GHz wireless dongle
  • cable retainer
  • two extra D-pads
  • smart charging station
