It’s also a time to get deals on affordable gadgets that can make life a bit easier. One such example is a compact fold-up keyboard, which we think should be part of any Steam Deck owners repertoire. We’ve found three great deals during day 2 of Prime Day, starting with the model that’s featured in our guide to the best accessories for Valve’s Steam Deck handheld PC, the iClever BK08 Bluetooth keyboard that includes a trackpad. It’s just $41.33 (was $52.99).iClever foldable Bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad$41$5323% off$41$41 at AmazonA keyboard like this comes in handy for entering chat text, as well as for more easily navigating the desktop mode of the Steam Deck. It certainly beats using the onscreen keyboard to enter URLs and terminal commands, or more easily navigate the file system, in case you’re into trying emulators. It’s worth noting that this and all other keyboards mentioned in this post work with mobile, tablet, and PC as well.Related:The best gaming deals from day two of October Prime DayIt’s possible that you may not have a regular need for a trackpad, especially if it comes at the cost of losing keys. If so, you can save even more money during Prime Day. The iClever BK03 (pictured at the top of this post) features a more spread out set of keys instead of a trackpad, but the fold-up design is very similar. This model is $31.99 (was $43.99).iClever BK03 foldable keyboard$32$4427% off$32$32 at AmazonBoth of iClever’s keyboards offer low-profile switches, making for a quiet typing experience. However, if you crave the clack of a mechanical keyboard in the form factor of a fold-up, a company called Royal Kludge have answered your very specific desires with its F68 backlit mechanical keyboard. Compared to the iClever models that fold into themselves like a trifold, the F68 folds long ways. It’s also discounted for Prime Day, costing $43.99 (was $54.99).Royal Kludge F68 foldable mechanical keyboard$44$5520% off$44$44 at AmazonLooking for more deals?

It was essentially a “this is his time” moment, kind of like when Leonardo DiCaprio won his Oscar, but one little Academy Award (well, more than one) hasn’t let Nolan start slacking around, as according to Deadline, his next film already has a release date. Sources that spoke with Deadline told the outlet that Nolan will be continuing his relationship with Universal following Oppenheimer’s success for the director’s next film, and that it will have an Imax release on July 17, 20…
