2. Serene Industries Cleaver CNC Aluminium Mechanical Keyboard
Brutalist, industrial, and mechanical sex appeal. While it won’t increase your chances of getting a life partner, it will definitely make other premium keyboards look like toys. Carved from a single block of 6061 aluminium, the musical typing noises from the chassis and the keycaps are damped by an overmolded silicone core that also acts as the non-slip feet. All of this is wrapped around Hall Effect switches, which actuate with magnets, so the type feel is as smooth as the outside.
Despite its premium materials, the Cleaver keeps things compact at just 365mm wide, making it ideal for tight desk setups or those on the go. Subtle RGB lighting glows through laser-perforated keycaps, giving it a clean, understated edge. If you need a no-compromise typing experience that also happens to be a sculpture, it doesn’t get any better, no matter the clear or black colourway.
- Pricing: From USD$850 (approximately RM3578.50)
- Availability: Pre-Order
3. Pioneer DJ DM-50D-BT
The sweet balance between power and precision, these 5-inch speakers from the DM series feature a new Class D amplifier and a punchy woofer that delivers clear, rich bass, whether you’re spinning tracks or producing beats. With a simple flick of a switch, you can toggle between DJ and Production modes, and the built-in DSP (digital signal processing) automatically optimises the sound for your needs. The result? Clearer audio, better mixes, and a more immersive listening experience.
It comes with multiple input options, including RCA, mini jack, TRS, and Bluetooth® connectivity — meaning you can hook up anything from DJ controllers to your laptop, or even stream music wirelessly from your phone. With intuitive controls on the front panel and a convenient headphone jack, this speaker system is designed to keep things simple and streamlined for DJs, producers, or anyone who just wants great sound in a compact setup.
4. Techlife Pad Neo
Ever need to fill in a medium-sized gap in life? The Pad Neo offers solid features without the premium price tag. It sports a 10.1-inch LCD display with a 1280×800 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 350 nits — enough for casual browsing, streaming, and light productivity. Under the hood, it runs on a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, making it a capable device for multitasking and media consumption.
Connectivity is all covered with support for Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G LTE, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you need to snap a quick pic, the 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera should suffice for basic photography and video calls. The 6,000mAh battery ensures hours of use, and while the 10W charging isn’t the fastest, it does support 5W reverse charging for topping up smaller gadgets on the go.
