Making a list of the decade’s most important and influential gadgets is illuminating — and that’s before we all factor in all the LEDs.

Unfamiliar with the Adaptive Controller? That’s OK! But the elegantly executed idea has opened up a world of delight for gamers with disabilities. Think drones are just for shooting vacation footage? Think again — and watch your head.
