Sony PS5 V2 DualSense Controller Leaked by Best Buy

Best Buy Canada's site listed—by mistake—an entry for a Version 2.0 of Sony's venerable PlayStation 5 DualSense controller—the retailer proceeded to remove the leaked information and imagery, but several news outlets have preserved crucial details. The nixed page advertised a yet to be released "PlayStation 5 V2 DualSense Wireless Controller," that looks identical in appearance to Version 1.0—it even shares the same pricing of CA$89.99. Hooray for no price hiking, if this info is indeed accurate. A couple of internet sleuths have noticed that a Swiss retailer has listed V2 controllers (in white or camo)—these web pages became active back in December 2023.

The standout revelation from this leak appears to be much improved battery life—the Best Buy Canada website entry mentioned V2 being capable of lasting 12 hours on a single charge. Folks familiar with the current PS5 DualSense controller are accustomed to around six hours of usage, before a wired recharge session is required. The listing also outlined a Dual Sense charging station being bundled with Sony's V2 game controller. The sleuths also noted that the next iteration has an advertised weight of 280 g—CFI-ZCT1W AKA "V1" comes in at 360 g. Several online publications have contacted Sony PlayStation for a comment on the situation.

Yoshino Unveils 6000-Watt B6000 SST Solid State Battery Power Station

During the CES 2024, Yoshino unveiled its flagship solid-state battery power station, dubbed B6000 SST. The number in the naming directly corresponds to its capacity. The B6000 SST delivers 6000 Watts of continuous AC output and up to 9000 Watts of surge capacity, powered by a massive 4730 Wh battery bank. Its proprietary solid-state lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) cells provide advertised longevity of 4000 cycles while still maintaining over 80% of original capacity. During a power outage, the B6000 SST power station automatically switches to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) mode, which allows for devices to keep functioning for a while longer.

Additional capabilities like an AC coupling to combine with solar, DC fast charging inputs, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi app connectivity make the B6000 one of the most advanced and versatile lithium battery storage systems on the market. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte and are non-flammable, so the B6000 SST offers extreme temperature resilience and advanced protective circuitry. Yoshino also adds the "Infinity" ability, which allows an infinite number of additional Yoshino 2562 Wh batteries to expand capacity to meet almost any application.

ROG Ally Gets BIOS Update that Fixes Multiple Usability Issues

ASUS has issued a BIOS update for the ROG Ally that should help resolve multiple usability issues, most of them being fairly minor issues, but they're all quality of life improvements nonetheless. To start with, ASUS has made optimisations to the performance mode with the Ally plugged in to a power source, although the company didn't explain exactly what this means. Another minor improvement allows the "Memory Assigned to GPU" setting to be kept when updating to a new BIOS version, a setting that used to get reset prior to this BIOS release.

Another minor quality of life update is the ability to reduce the backlight to 10 nits now, down from the previous 25 nits, which should make it more comfortable to use the ROG Ally in dark rooms. Finally and possibly the most important part of this update is the ability to charge at 30 W from 65 W or higher rated USB-PD chargers. What ASUS has done here is improvements to the USB-PD "handshake" to make sure that the ROG Ally gets the right power from the power adapter. This was apparently not working as intended previously and the ROG Ally would charge at a slower rate. It should be noted that not all chargers will provide enough power to the ROG Ally, especially if other devices are charging at the same time. ASUS points out that if the battery is draining when the Ally is plugged in, a different charger should be used.

Sabrent Launches Thunderbolt 4 KVM Switch

KVM switches are either one of those things you need or you don't have much use for, however Sabrent has launched a new Thunderbolt 4 based KVM switch that differs from your average KVM switch in a few ways. As any KVM switch, it allows two computers to share peripherals and displays, but it also supports up to 60 Watt USB PD charging of laptops. The latter is something Sabrent has offered on its USB-C KVM switches, but this time around the power adapter for the KVM switch handles both devices, unlike its USB-C KVM switches which required a USB-C PD charger per device, with the power being passed through the KVM switch.

The Thunderbolt 4 KVM switch lacks any traditional display outputs, relying entirely on Thunderbolt 4 for display connectivity, although DP Alt mode over USB-C is supported and each output supports up to 8K 60 Hz output with DSC 1.2 or 5K 60 Hz without DSC. The KVM switch supports three Thunderbolt 4 devices, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A devices and two inputs via Thunderbolt 4, with all USB ports supporting data speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It also comes with a switch button, which means you can hide the KVM switch out of sight and still have easy access to switch between devices. Sabrent is asking for US$299 for its Thunderbolt KVM switch, which is a steep premium over its USB-C KVM switch which is currently selling for US$119.99.

Sony WF-1000XM5's Charging Case Info Revealed by Database

Renders and basic specifications for Sony's rumored WF-1000XM4 successor were leaked earlier this month, with some sources theorizing that Sony would be unveiling the next-generation TWS earbuds within days. An official announcement did not come to pass, but details and a (top-down view) photo of the WF-1000XM5's charging case have emerged from an independent testing database—the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). Tipsters reckon that the WF-1000XM5 buds will be smaller and lighter than predecessors—perhaps closer in size to Sony's cheaper TWS offering, the WF-C700N—and leaked specifications indicate that the new model is not a massive departure from the XM4, although multi-point connectivity looks to be standard at launch.

The WPC's online certification page lists model number YY2963, which is identical to an FCC registration from February. The June 9th entry states that it is a "wireless stereo headset," with a carry/charging case classed as a "Power Class 0 Receiver" offering 2 W maximum input. A low quality photo of this earbud cradle is included on the WPC web page—Sony's new unit looks almost identical to the WF-1000XM4 enclosure. Qi wireless charging is very likely part of the package, but the next-gen solution might not be much of an upgrade. Insiders have reassessed the situation, and now propose that Sony is planning on a July or August reveal for the the 1000XM5.

Baseus Launches Charging Station with Retractable USB-C Cable

Baseus, a leading consumer electronics brand, recently launched an important product: the Baseus PowerCombo Tower series of smart 65 W desktop power strips. Anyone familiar with surge protectors has more or less heard about joules (J), the unit of energy. Baseus PowerCombo Tower series smart version stands out by featuring 1200J surge protection, while the industry standard is between 800 to 1000J, ensuring utmost safety for both individuals and devices.

The second great wall is the BDIP Baseus Digital Intelligent Power, a technology that monitors circuit status to detect malfunctions like overload, overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and more, then actively cuts off the power in 0.1 seconds, solidifying the barrier. Yet, Baseus has gone further. The case is made of fire-retardant material, ensuring that the product is safe-to-use inside out, and is also superpowered by GaN technology which increases power conversion, resulting in less power loss translating to less heat generation, thereby cutting off the odds of causing damage. In short, this charging station features 8 safety protections, keeping its user and their devices safe 24/7 without requiring supervision.

Spigen Announces ArcStation Pro GaN Wall Charger Series

World-renowned mobile accessory brand Spigen announced its newest series to their mobile charging power accessory lineup: Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 352, 452, 652. The first two digits mean total output watt and the last number is for the ports. (ex. 352: total 35 W with 2 ports) Some people might think there are not any problems using cheap, low-quality wall chargers to charge their devices. However, those types of chargers could actually damage the devices due to the ripple noise. The new Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN series minimizes ripple noise with Power Quality Technology to charge your device more safely than other wall chargers.

Also with the latest Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, the ArcStation Pro GaN Wall Charger series is able to perform more efficiently than traditional silicon-based chargers, generating a powerful output and less heat, with a compact size. According to the result of Spigen's charging speed test, this series can charge iPhone 14 Pro up to 84% within an hour. GaN 452 and GaN 652 are also compatible with the 'Samsung Galaxy series' Super Fast Charging 2.0.
