I waited for the Nintendo Switch 2 for a long time. Rumors of an allegedly-real-but-never-released Switch Pro swirled around for years as I watched fewer and fewer AAA third-party games make their way to Nintendo’s little console that could. There were always enough first-party titles and indie games to tide me over, but I watched […]
As a writer, I take the tools of my trade relatively seriously. I’m not crazy enough to drop $3,600 on a keyboard, but I also find typing on a MacBook for extended periods of time deeply unsatisfying — and distracting.

And still others just enjoy getting an extra day off from work or try to ignore it altogether. But however you regard it, there are often […]
Hey! We’re kicking off an end-of-the-year series where we’re highlighting some of the best gadgets that Verge staff purchased this year, just in case you need some gift ideas. And it starts with my pick: a battery pack and portable jumper box for your car called the $100 Noco Boost GB40. Sounds boring, right? Hear […]
Brandt Ranj is a commerce reporter for The Verge, which means, he says, “I spend my time trying to find good deals and the best gear to recommend to our readers.” He also keeps The Verge’s wearables buyer’s guides up to date, but, he adds, “my role requires me to cover a little bit of […]
Considering all the tech that we cover here at The Verge, you’d think that the members of our staff would be using their phones, laptops, and other gadgets for all their productivity needs.
