JOURNEY NEXA LIFT Laptop Sleeve With Charging Stand Review

The JOURNEY NEXA LIFT is a protective everyday carry item that pulls a lot more duty when traditional sleeves are idle.

“When people who need to work on their laptops have less to pack, carry, and unpack, their transition to work mode is much easier.”– JOURNEY

NEXA LIFT’s adjustable phone stand equips laptop carriers with vital additional screen space for video calls and more.

Laptop carriers who protect their device inside the sleeve can also wirelessly fast charge their earbuds (up to 5W) and iPhone (up to 15W) on NEXA LIFT’s wireless charging panel.

This means for those like me you will need less cables to carry with you when travelling locally or away which is ideal and thie thing here is it already acts as a laptop protector too on the go with premium materials making the whole product a compact work machine and the sleeve can be used as a mouse mat also.

If you have wireless earbuds this is an extra treat along with your smartphone that when placed on this it can be used as a second screen to do other tasks whilst working on your laptop and overall a great idea executed well like their other poducts we have tested recently.

 

JOURNEY said it is designed to support laptop carriers to quickly set up high-functioning places of work with minimal carry equipment.

“When people who need to work on their laptops have less to pack, carry, and unpack, their transition to work mode is much easier,” said JOURNEY’s spokesperson. “They’re better equipped for efficient device activity too.”

NEXA LIFT is a mousepad and mini desk mat too.

NEXA LIFT heralds JOURNEY’s latest expansion into multi-purpose lifestyle accessories for busy device users.

 

For me this is a great product and simple to use making life much easier on the go or even at home offering two more built in charging options meaning less cable to carry which is often lost or fogotten and with this you are sure not to run out of charge if you do so and very practical piece of kit to have at your disposal

CHERRY XTRFY launches high-end gaming gear for enthusiasts and serious gamers

First unveiled at CES 2025, the CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard and the GP6 and GP7 mousepads are set to launch on 29 July 2025. Developed using decades of experience in keyboards, switches and esports, the latest products focus on precision, responsiveness and feel.
The MX 8.3 TKL Wireless features a gasket-mounted design in a solid aluminium casing and offers connection via USB-C, Bluetooth® or 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. It supports wireless polling rates of up to 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz via cable, reporting input as frequently as eight times per millisecond. The tenkeyless format provides more space for mouse movement, while a rotary knob and integrated display give access to RGB lighting, media control, battery status and connection management. Users can also view typing speed (APM) and save up to three custom profiles.
The keyboard uses the CHERRY MX2A switch, a refinement of the original CHERRY MX used in over 60 million keyboards. Featuring premium lubricant and a redesigned spring, the switch offers smoother actuation and improved acoustics. Switches can be changed easily thanks to hot-swap sockets requiring no technical expertise.
The GP6 and GP7 mousepads complement the keyboard setup, each measuring 460 x 400 x 4 mm. The GP7 incorporates graphene fabric, offering a robust yet smooth surface with high resistance to wear. Both pads include new cloth surfaces and a soft rubber base that enhances comfort and control. The material provides light glide under minimal pressure and increases resistance with firmer contact, supporting accuracy in micro-movements.
The CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL Wireless will be available from 29 July 2025 at an MSRP of €299. The GP6 and GP7 mousepads will retail at €29 and €39 respectively.
Test samples for all three products are available on request. Further information is available at cherry.de/en-gb and cherryxtrfy.com

This clever laptop accessories pouch has an integrated mousepad from Bellpont

Ever wanted to use a mouse with your laptop but always found carrying it separately too inconvenient?
Sydney based startup Bellpont just released its first product – Travel Pad. Like its name implies, it’s a travel mousepad with a side pouch that can hold accessories like mouses.
People love the notebook-like shape which fits snugly into backpacks while the zippable side pouch prevents anything from falling out. Most types of mouses, USB sticks and pens can now be conveniently carried with a laptop. It acts as a seamless addition to people’s laptops and brings the following design insights:
  • Microweave surface enables precision mouse movement.
  • The non-slip Neoprene base grips to whatever surface you’re working on and prevents skidding.
  • The padded Nylon edges prevents fraying and drastically increases the pads lifespan.

“Carrying a laptop by itself was simple and convenient. But there were just times like doing graphic design or making PowerPoint presentations where the trackpad didn’t cut it” said the designers. “We thought – what if there was a way where people could carry a mouse with their laptop and be able to use it effectively”?
Travel Pad ships free to most major regions, including Australia, the US, Canada, UK, EU and East Asia. A 3 year global warranty is offered as well as 30 day no hassle returns.
