For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you "know the specs, but want to try the real thing." This is especially true for gaming gadgets, which have an appeal that can only be understood by actually touching them, such as key feel, fit, and texture.

That's why at "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II," an event hosted by ASCII on Saturday, October 10th, we will be showcasing a wide array of gaming gadgets that garnered attention this summer. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, we'll introduce the AR glasses "xbx a01+" from among the gaming gadgets on display.

Lightweight and Affordable AR Glasses: xbx a01+

The xbx a01+ are AR glasses that boast an appealing combination of lightness at 62g and an affordable price in the low ¥40,000 range!

In addition to visuals powered by Micro-OLED, they support HDR10+ with 1600 nits. Furthermore, they feature a streamlined, battery-less design that operates with just a single Type-C cable.

Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10th! Come and Touch the Real xbx a01+

Gaming gadgets have aspects that cannot be fully understood from photos or spec sheets alone, such as the feel of buttons, the weight of dials, and overall texture.

That's why at this event, we are prioritizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large number of exciting gaming gadgets that we recommend you "definitely touch!" – products you'll want to get your hands on this summer.

We've gathered only gaming gadgets that you'll "absolutely want to touch and check out" this summer, so please take this opportunity to experience them.

Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you at LIFORK Akihabara II on October 10th!

Happening in Akihabara! First-timers Welcome! Touch All the Gaming Gadgets You're Curious About

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try and compare all the products you're curious about? No matter how many photos you see or spec sheets you read, the one thing you can't fully grasp is "what's it like to actually touch?" So, let's try out everything that catches your eye in Akihabara!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can experience the latest gaming gadgets firsthand and consult with our editorial staff, has been set! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's the important part: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, or compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to be intimidated, thinking "PC events seem to be full of experts and hard to get into" or "what if they pressure me to buy something like in a store?" Not being a PC expert is perfectly fine! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can thoroughly compare things like size, keyboard key feel, and mouse grip, which are hard to understand online, right there on the spot. If you're unsure "what to choose," you can also easily consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, there are plans for prize giveaways, mini-stages, and even a puzzle-solving event. It's an event designed for you to simply come, play, see, touch, and remember what caught your eye. You can enjoy it with that level of casualness!

Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time, and we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared plenty of novelty items as souvenirs for your visit, and we eagerly await your attendance.
