And, if you’re looking for the best (and weirdest) work-from-home gear that’ll make you the employee of the month, then we’ve got you covered.

Do you never want to go back into the office again? We created a list that would make anybody’s work-from-home setup so ergonomic, comfortable, and convenient it will make you want to avoid ever stepping into an office again. Those currently in an office can instead stare at this list with a burning jealousy. - Kyle Barr Read More

A good mouse has the potential to upgrade your computing experience significantly. If it’s made with ergonomics in mind, it will feature a thumb rest or the kind of design that’s good for your wrist—a vertical mouse. If it’s a gaming mouse, it will prioritize customizable buttons, a high polling rate, adjustable DPI, and RGB lighting. The features you look for in a mouse ultimately depend on your needs. We’ve made an elaborate list with a bunch of different categories so you can find whatever suits your lifestyle best. - Dua Rashid Read More

I tried to wear the OnePlus Watch 2 for a short weekend workout but couldn’t. The watch is too big for me and too dense. It’s not just me, either; I asked my partner if his wrists would be interested in trying on the smartwatch, and he rejected it after seeing the relatively ginormous 47mm display. “That’s way too big for me. You know that’s why I hate wearing a watch.” - Florence Ion Read More

Thinking of buying a new Samsung smartphone but don’t want to shell out the cash for the Galaxy S24 Ultra? You don’t have to pay for all the extra stuff Samsung’s gargantuan phone offers, like the additional telephoto lens, titanium chassis, and docked stylus. Consider the Galaxy S24+ instead, which boasts most of what the Ultra can do and starts at $300 less than the S24 Ultra. - Florence Ion Read More
