When you need to top them off, Zepath\u2019s 1.5V batteries easily slot into the included clamshell charger, a la a pair of wireless earbuds, letting you charge up to eight batteries at once with a single connection.

I eventually upgraded to a Fitbit Charge 6 after getting one as a birthday gift last year, but I still have the Amazfit Band 7 lying around as a backup. \u2014 <em>Sheena Vasani, commerce writer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\"epilogue-gb-operator\" class=\"_1m1ib701 _1m1ib700 duet--article--standard-heading _1xwtict1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epilogue.co\/product\/gb-operator\">Epilogue GB Operator<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez01\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--product-card _18t3ez05\" data-product-filter id=\"product-card-dmcyOnByb2R1Y3Q6OTEyOTM1\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0k\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0f _18t3ez0c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epilogue.co\/product\/gb-operator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The GB Operator with Links Awakening.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/DJI_20260327180743_0236_D.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=21.862745098039%2C0%2C56.274509803922%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0i _18t3ez0d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epilogue.co\/product\/gb-operator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The GB Operator with Links Awakening.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/DJI_20260327180743_0236_D.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=7.7941176470588%2C0%2C84.411764705882%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez09\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0a _18t3ez0b\">\n<h3 class=\"_18t3ez0l\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0y\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epilogue.co\/product\/gb-operator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Epilogue GB Operator<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0q\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0t\">$<!-- -->50<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0r\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0s\">$<!-- -->50<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0w\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epilogue.co\/product\/gb-operator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$50 at Epilogue<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Do you have Game Boy cartridges (and savegames) from childhood like me?

They\u2019re slightly more expensive than a basic LED bulb at $35 for six, but they feature built-in backup batteries that recharge whenever a lamp or light socket is turned on. When the power goes bye-bye, the bulbs automatically turn on and will glow for up to 10 hours straight. They also work without being screwed into a socket and can be attached to the included handles so you can carry them around like a flashlight. <em>\u2014<\/em> <em>Andrew Liszewski, senior reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\"anker-2-in-1-usb-c-cable\" class=\"_1m1ib701 _1m1ib700 duet--article--standard-heading _1xwtict1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">Anker 2-in-1 USB-C Cable<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez01\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--product-card _18t3ez05\" data-product-filter id=\"product-card-dmcyOnByb2R1Y3Q6ODQ4ODEy\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0k\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0f _18t3ez0c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/71wrGc3GetL._AC_SL1500_.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=19.2633361558%2C0%2C61.4733276884%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0i _18t3ez0d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/71wrGc3GetL._AC_SL1500_.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=3.8950042337002%2C0%2C92.2099915326%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez09\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0a _18t3ez0b\">\n<h3 class=\"_18t3ez0l\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0y\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Anker 140W 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C Cable<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0q\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0t\">$<!-- -->20<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0r\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0s\">$<!-- -->20<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0w\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$20 at Amazon (black)<\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLSXGZV\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$20 at Amazon (white)<\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/anker.pxf.io\/c\/482924\/1543964\/18023?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anker.com%2Fproducts%2Fa8895%3Fvariant%3D45839927541910\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$20 at Anker <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">We\u2019ve got this power outlet near our fridge that has just one spare outlet for a USB-C wall adapter to charge our laptops and iPad.

It hasn\u2019t worked yet, but I still really like this one. Like other Mnemosyne notebooks, it has really nice paper that\u2019s great for my intermittent fountain pen experimentation because there\u2019s very little feathering and less bleedthrough than, say, a Leichtturm or Moleskine. It\u2019s meant as a bullet journal, and it has all the features you\u2019d want there: a four-page index at the front, page numbers, multiple bookmarks, and dot grid markings with guide marks so you can easily divide pages by thirds or quarters, horizontally or vertically. It also just looks good. <em>\u2014 Nathan Edwards, senior reviews editor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\"ugreen-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter\" class=\"_1m1ib701 _1m1ib700 duet--article--standard-heading _1xwtict1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">Ugreen USB-C to ethernet adapter<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez01\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--product-card _18t3ez05\" data-product-filter id=\"product-card-dmcyOnByb2R1Y3Q6OTEyOTU3\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0k\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0f _18t3ez0c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/2652a669-e18f-4182-99c9-73824ff4d005.__CR001464600_PT0_SX1464_V1___.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=18.473684210526%2C0%2C63.052631578947%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0i _18t3ez0d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/2652a669-e18f-4182-99c9-73824ff4d005.__CR001464600_PT0_SX1464_V1___.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=2.7105263157895%2C0%2C94.578947368421%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez09\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0a _18t3ez0b\">\n<h3 class=\"_18t3ez0l\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0y\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ugreen USB-C to ethernet adapter<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0q\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0t\">$<!-- -->12<\/span><span class=\"_18t3ez0u\">$<!-- -->15<\/span><span class=\"_18t3ez0v\">20<!-- -->% off<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0r\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0s\">$<!-- -->12<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0w\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$12 at Amazon (with Prime)<\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fugreen-usb-c-to-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-for-laptop-pc-nintendo-switch-and-more-space-gray%2FJ3R8Z9XVPL%2Fsku%2F11043455\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$15 at Best Buy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">If you play a lot of games on the Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck, you\u2019re likely all too aware of how long it can take to download titles over Wi-Fi. Like \u201cI need to find another activity to keep myself busy\u201d long. Luckily, there\u2019s another way if you don\u2019t mind welcoming another dongle into your life. Ugreen\u2019s ethernet to USB-C adapters (which usually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B082K62S48?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">retail for less than $15<\/a>) connect to an ethernet cable, then plug it directly into your handheld to get the fastest-possible download speeds.

I like that it offers both warm and cool lighting, and while it\u2019s great for nighttime reading, I\u2019ve also found it useful during power outages, walking down the dark hallway to the bathroom at night, while traveling, or really just anytime I need a little extra light. <em>\u2014 Sheena Vasani, commerce writer <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\"gamesir-pocket-taco-mobile-controller\" class=\"_1m1ib701 _1m1ib700 duet--article--standard-heading _1xwtict1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/877491\/gamesir-pocket-taco-wireless-bluetooth-controller-clamp-hands-on\">GameSir Pocket Taco mobile controller<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez01\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--product-card _18t3ez05\" data-product-filter id=\"product-card-dmcyOnByb2R1Y3Q6ODc5MDYy\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0k\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0f _18t3ez0c\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesir.com\/products\/gamesir-pocket-taco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/gamesir_pockettaco1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=16.5%2C0%2C67%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0i _18t3ez0d\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesir.com\/products\/gamesir-pocket-taco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"x271pn0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/gamesir_pockettaco1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.24875621890547%2C100%2C99.502487562189&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez09\">\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0a _18t3ez0b\">\n<h3 class=\"_18t3ez0l\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0y\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesir.com\/products\/gamesir-pocket-taco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GameSir Pocket Taco<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0q\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0t\">$<!-- -->35<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0r\"><span class=\"_18t3ez0s\">$<!-- -->35<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_18t3ez0w\"><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fgamesir-pocket-taco-bluetooth-wireless-retro-mobile-gaming-controller-for-ios-android-turn-your-smartphone-into-a-gameboy-white%2FJ3R85HZQPQ%2Fsku%2F6674072%2F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$35 at Best Buy<\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesir.com\/products\/gamesir-pocket-taco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$35 at Gamesir<\/a><a class=\"_18t3ez0x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GameSir-Pocket-Vertical-Mobile-Controller-Smartphone\/dp\/B0GJSWSMFN\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$35 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gamesir.com\/products\/gamesir-pocket-taco\">For $35<\/a>, you can turn your smartphone into a Game Boy-like handheld so you can play retro titles without the frustrations of finicky touchscreen controls. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/877491\/gamesir-pocket-taco-wireless-bluetooth-controller-clamp-hands-on\">GameSir\u2019s Pocket Taco<\/a> is a wireless Bluetooth controller, but instead of functioning as a standalone gamepad, it clamps onto the bottom of your phone, adding a physical D-pad and action buttons to the bottom half of the screen. The lack of thumbsticks makes it better suited for playing games on older consoles predating the PS1. It also has its own battery, so while it is another accessory you\u2019ll need to remember to charge, it won\u2019t drain your phone\u2019s battery while you play. \u2014 <em>Andrew Liszewski, senior
