Upgrade your PC setup with affordable accessories that actually make a difference — my top finds for a keyboard, mouse, and more

Looking to treat yourself for the holidays? PC gear can get expensive, but I found some great deals on gaming accessories that I think make a huge difference to your setup. Everything in my list is under $200, with some picks as low as $9.99.
My gift to Windows 11 users — here are 10 keyboard shortcuts I can’t live without

I know, I know – keyboard shortcuts are hard to remember, and most of them are so niche they’re not even worth trying to waste memory on.
But some are incredibly useful, and I’ve put together this list of the shortcuts I actually use day-to-day for work, browsing, and gaming.
Lenovo officially unveils the rumored Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop with expanding screen

I’m here in Las Vegas for the Lenovo Tech World event and CES 2026, and Lenovo has some exciting new developments to share. One of the most interesting, by far, is the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable: a 16-inch laptop that expands to 23.8 inches of screen space at the click of a button.
What I Bring to the Table
Clear, Concise, Confident Content
Over my five years of experience, I’ve written hundreds of how-to explainers, product reviews, buying guides, deals posts, and op-eds. I pride myself on easy-to-digest copy that gets the point across without putting the reader to sleep.
Attentive Editing, Thorough Feedback
As an editor of over five years, I’ve learned from the best and developed my own practices for polishing other writers’ prose. With my notes gathered in a neat, orderly list, I provide actionable feedback and praise where it’s due.
Sharp Product Photography & Image Editing
You don’t get to be a Reviews Editor without learning a thing or two about product photography. Nikon D3500 in-hand, I snap sharp shots that are worth more than a thousand words. I’m also familiar with Photoshop for creating hero images and editing product pics.
Fair, Empathetic Leadership
If you ask me, empathy is among the chief soft skills any leader should practice. If you and I can come to an understanding on how a piece should look and what we need to do to achieve that outcome, we stand a much better chance of succeeding than we would with the all-too-common “follow my commands and don’t ask any questions!” approach.
SEO/GEO-Optimized, Reader-Friendly Stories
SEO and GEO are important. Does that mean we should stuff our content with keywords and throw reader appreciation to the wind? Not a chance. That’s why I prioritize natural keyword integration, displaying EEAT, and catchy headlines over robotic, SERP-hunting nonsense.
Problem-Solving Mindset
Planning ahead is a fantastic idea. But what happens when you meet a roadblock and suddenly your plan needs a pivot strategy? You want someone with the ability to take a step back, analyze the situation, and develop an effective solution. As an editor, I have plenty of practice when it comes to problem-solving.
Experience in a Wide Range of CMS and Project Management Software
I’ve worked on the most basic of WordPress templates, customized WP solutions, in-house CRMs, and everything in between. If I don’t know it, I can learn it. And when it comes to project management software, I’ve worked with all the usual suspects: Airtable, Asana, Trello, Monday, the list goes on.
In-Depth Knowledge of Affiliate Practices
Converting your viewership to capital is becoming increasingly important in the digital world of dwindling ad revenue. I have experience raising affiliate revenue during editorial tenure through Amazon Affiliate and partnership practices.
Friendly, Can-Do Attitude
I like to get along with the people I work with. There’s a time when talk should be strictly business, but I also like to find the downtime moment to chat with coworkers about what they’re watching, playing, cooking, or going through.

I’m passionate about…
Tech, first and foremost. Across my half-decade of publishing experience, I’ve solved your iPhone problems, offered my two cents on what makes a mechanical keyboard click, and brought more awareness to modern-day issues like right to repair laws and planned obsolescence. I’ve attended industry events like CES and had the amazing opportunity to speak with some of the most influential minds in consumer tech.
Tech aside, I also enjoy reading, writing, and editing about lifestyle topics like fitness, smart home, and gaming.
