·1 views

X has officially launched X Money in the United States, expanding access beyond its earlier invite-only beta phase. The payment feature offers a digital wallet and peer-to-peer transfers similar to Venmo, as well as a metal Visa card that can display a user's X username. Apple Wallet integration and free in-app money transfers are also included as part of the service. X Money advertises up to 6 percent APY, though this rate is exclusively available to Premium Plus subscribers or standard Premium users who meet a minimum deposit threshold. The launch marks a significant step in Elon Musk's broader ambition to transform X into an all-in-one "everything app."

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL keyboard drops to $124.99 on Amazon

The Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL, a compact wired gaming keyboard, is currently on sale at Amazon for $124.99, down from its regular price of $159.99. Unlike traditional mechanical keyboards, it uses analog optical switches that continuously read key height, allowing users to customize activation points from 0.1mm to 4mm per key. The keyboard also supports faster repeated keypresses without requiring keys to fully reset to the top position. A feature called Snap Tap lets players prioritize certain key inputs, which is useful for movement in shooter games, though it is disabled by default and banned in titles like Counter-Strike 2. The keyboard can be configured either directly at the hardware level or through Razer's Synapse software.
