Some were too slick—he’s dropped and broken two. Others felt too heavy. Lam, an inventor who has worked with Targus and Logitech, created the myAir.0 OriMouse, which weighs just 40 grams and charges via USB-C. Inert, the mouse sort of resembles a flattened origami frog. But magnetically snap its two legs together, and the mouse takes on a faceted shape that allows it to nestle comfortably in your palm. —Daniel VargheseBuy Now: OriMouse collection on MyAir.0 —BanditBandit Vanisher No more sweat marksVanisher is a new sports performance fabric from Bandit that disperses and hides the appearance of sweat, while providing light compression and sun protection. —TIME StaffBuy Now: Bandit Vanisher Collection on Bandit RunningLeapFrog LeapMoveLearning in motionLeapFrog's LeapMove console uses a built-in camera so kids can control offline motion-based educational games—involving reading, math, spelling, and problem-solving—with their bodies on your TV. —TIME StaffBuy Now: LeapFrog LeapMove on Amazon —TIMENothing Ear 3aHeadphones that can save and share audioThe new Nothing Ear 3a headphones offer ample aesthetic appeal in an affordable package. But they impress for their unique capability to record and share what you’re listening to. Once you’ve paired the headphones and set up an account in the Nothing app, you can squeeze both earbuds to start taking an audio snapshot, which you can then replay, transcribe, or share with friends. You can even adjust the recording window so that your snapshot includes audio played up to 30 seconds before you actually pressed the buds.

He enlisted Zach Nasgowitz, a friend from his undergraduate computer science program, to create Brick, a productivity system that married the available app blocking capabilities of iOS software with a corporeal magnet that acts like a key. If you want access to a blocked app while you’re “Bricked,” you have to tap your phone to the drab, concrete colored Brick, equipped with an NFC chip—often that’s all the friction needed to get you to do something other than doomscroll. The app is now also available on Android. —Daniel VargheseBuy now: Brick on Amazon —Hunt RettigLumadrop Art KitLayered luminescenceLumadrop’s unique art kit uses layered translucent film and reflective materials to create luminous, color-shifting compositions. —TIME StaffBuy Now: Lumadrop Art Kit on Shopify —All-Fit Automotive, Inc.Rimiq InflatiqOn-the-go airThis portable electric tire pump with auto shut-off can inflate tires, balls, bikes, as well as charge phones with 12V of emergency pass-through power. —TIME StaffBuy Now: Rimiq Inflatiq on Amazon

Loop has changed that with their highly functional earplugs that look more like jewelry than auditory safety measures. The brand offers a range of decibel-reducing options, including the popular Experience 2, which uses an acoustic channel, membrane, and mesh to evenly reduce sound rather than just muffling it—and this year got a design makeover by collaborating with Harry Styles’ company Pleasing.
