By the time he stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, Mike Tomlin—then the NFL’s longest-tenured coach—had led the team through a 19-year run without a losing season, securing 13 playoff appearances, eight division titles, and a victory at Super Bowl XLIII. Since 2014, however, Tomlin has been answering a higher…

The odd thing about computer mice—gaming, ergonomic, or otherwise—is how subjective they are. I guess we’ve all got different hand shapes, finger lengths, and technical needs. I’ve been hunting for the perfect mouse for my particular hands for years now, and I’ve refined my selection down to two. Unfortunately, they couldn’t be more different, so…
Wireless gaming mice are great and have only gotten better with time. They’re so good, in fact, that I would not go for a wired model unless I was really looking for a budget option. And yet it turns out wired mice were the best choice for the Valorant Champions tournament in Shanghai, where custom…
