The FlexBar is a 10.8-inch touchscreen with haptic feedback. When you open an app, this thing will show you the relevant controls, proving handy for professional work, and there's game integration, too. Custom macros are recorded and controlled through the FlexBar software, which provides full control over your layout, including free icon packs. And since it's compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, pretty much anything with a USB port, one could argue it's actually better than the Touch Bar we used to know. You have to keep it plugged in over USB-C at all times, which can pull it around a little bit. But how much is it again? $185."}
