Gigabyte XM300 inaugurates a new line of Xtreme Gaming products

Gigabyte XM300 is the solution in which the well-known hardware manufacturer sets the tone for the new line of Xtreme Gaming products dedicated to the most demanding players. It is an honest mouse, which offers interesting possibilities for customization and a very efficient optical sensor, all at a competitive price of about € 40.

We are talking about the optical sensor Pixart 3988 by 6400 dpi and, therefore, able to adapt to most of the modes of interaction, to allow precise movements in all circumstances and to ensure that the input from the player is always faithfully reproduced. Through the great internal software, also, players can set the sensitivity associated with each of the four profiles available, among which you can select the desired one by acting on two convenient buttons located on the top of the device.

As you can see even in an image in this page, the user can adjust the speed sensor in a simple way via the included software and through increments of 50 DPI. This for each of the four profiles storable in the internal memory of the mouse. With 50g of acceleration and the ability to draw up to 200 inches per second, the optical sensor of Gigabyte XM300 is revealed aligned to those present in much more expensive devices, allowing the player and the precision movements, such as those required for example by a sniping session, both the most sudden and abrupt, such as those needed to scroll through large game maps in an RTS. On the side, at the top, there are four LED indicators that allow the player to immediately verify what is the profile set.

The top surface is pleasant to the chest, while the sides are a rubberized pad that ensures maximum grip for the thumb. The USB connector is gold plated while the 1.8-meter cable is PVC coated and is not twisted.
One of the most positive elements of Gigabyte XM300 is the wheel. Knurled and robust, guarantees excellent grip and great precision, even for the ability to configure the type of movement as we have seen before. Unfortunately, however, this wheel turns a wobbly moment within the space in which it is housed. The feeling is not so good even for the two main buttons, left and right, making it feel to require excessive force to be pressed and turn out loud. These buttons make it shine like the Gigabyte materials used to XM300 not always correspond to the best solutions available and are the reason that allows Gigabyte to sell this mouse at such a competitive price. Mice that, instead, remains very interesting in terms of smoothness on the surface and for the precision allowed by its optical sensor.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Galactic

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Happy Memorial Day everyone. In this issue: Astranis’ novel approach to GEO satellites Virgin Galactic’s return to the skies News from SpaceX, and more Astranis’ novel approach to internet satellites is starting to pay off Astranis , a satellite internet startup based in San Francisco, said Wednesday that its first spacecraft completed a milestone test and will start bringing broadband access to rural Alaskans as soon as mid-June. It’s a major step for the company, which was founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko. By taking a first principles approach to satellite development, the pair bet that they could make a smaller, cheaper spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit — the orbit farthest from Earth and arguably the most inhospitable — and use them to bring internet to millions, or even billions, of people around the globe. Their bet is paying off: The company’s first satellite, Arcturus, launched on a Falcon Heavy at the end of April. W...
