With such a hefty price tag, you’d be correct to think this quite ordinary-looking mug has magical powers.

The Ember Mug² is a smart mug which not only keeps your coffee hot but allows you to set a specific drinking temperature using the Ember app on your phone. The app also notifies you when your cuppa has reached your preferred temperature. So there should be fewer burnt tongues and sad cold cups of tea in the office.

With a built-in battery, your tailored brew stays at the selected temperature for 80 minutes which gives you plenty of time to get distracted in the office and forget you even made a cup of tea. You can even pop it on the charging coaster to keep it fuelled up and ready to go.

Someone pinching your mug at work just got that little bit more serious.

The Drop CTRL mechanical keyboard has a compact design with an 87-key layout that guarantees a distraction-free typing experience. It has a sturdy machined aluminum frame, and you can order it with a wide selection of mechanical switches.

The CTRL keyboard was developed by a community of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, so it’s as feature-packed as it gets. It has swappable mechanical switches and covers (including a wide selection of keycaps), programmable features, and fully customizable RGB backlighting for its keys and frame. I like that, despite its compact design, it has two USB-C connectors.
