The buildable board Keychron Q1 Pro
Remapped keys are cool for your average tapper, but true typing nerds need total control. Enter the Q1Pro: with a machined aluminium chassis, it's the ultimate in desktop engineering. Switches can be hot-swapped for bespoke fingertip feedback (no soldering necessary), stabilisers stop wobble on bigger keys, and a foam layer plus double gaskets reduce rattle. Feeling visionary? Buy the Barebone version (£159) and add custom keycaps.

It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations.
