The realm of gear, like everything else, has changed a lot over the past two years. The ongoing pandemic has caused a drought when it comes to new gadget releases and interesting product developments, but this week the annual CES tradeshow in Las Vegas gave us a taste of that fast-changing, innovative world of yesteryear. The WIRED Gear team attended dozens of (virtual) briefings and found the coolest products at the show. Some of our favorites are already on sale—and cheaper than you might think. Now that CES is over, we're back into the swing of things. Expect your regularly scheduled deals roundup to return next week. Happy Saturday!
