New beverage technology unlocked: here's a mug you can shoot people in games with while keeping your tea warm because it's got a 'wireless anatomical trigger'
After a week off I've had to spend the morning catching up on my email, which means deleting 99% of my email. «Utilize AI to engage your website visitors!» Delete. «Which influencers made the most money in 2024?» Delete. «Holiday pics from Mom & Dad!» Delete. «Important information about your tenuous employment status at PC Gamer, please read!» Delete.

The mug features precision triggers and an ergonomic design optimized for popular mobile battle royale games.»
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
