From making rice to slow-cooking stews and even frying up chicken, it can do just about anything. The best part is that the Instant Pot can cook most recipes in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven or on the stove. Rice, for example, takes just six minutes to cook (not counting the amount of time it takes to build pressure), and there’s no fussing with covering the pot or adjusting the heat. Sometimes, it’s just easier — and much less stressful — to let the Instant Pot take the wheel.&nbsp;<em>— Emma Roth, news writer</em></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <div class="product-block"><h3>Fractal Scape gaming headset</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="200" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/257987_Fractal_Scape_CFaulkner_0008.jpg?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Flip/dp/B0D5HK6JRS"> <strike>$199.99</strike> $169.99 at <strong>Amazon (gray)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Flip/dp/B0D5HGK3C2"> <strike>$199.99</strike> $169.99 at <strong>Amazon (black)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1901247-REG/fractal_design_fd_hs_sca1_01_scape_dark_wireless_rgb.html"> <strike>$199.99</strike> $169.99 at <strong>B&amp;H Photo</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="has-text-align-none wp-block-paragraph">I’ve used the Scape at work and while playing games, and it’s among the best that I’ve ever tested in this price range. The fit and finish are impressive for a first-gen device from a company with no lineage in audio hardware. Its sleek design comes in gray or black, with minimal LEDs that add a subtle glow around the bottom edge of the ear cups (these are the first LEDs in a headset I haven’t wanted to immediately switch off). It has a chunkier version of Apple’s Digital Crown on the back of its left ear cup. The knob controls volume and can be clicked to pause and resume content (double- or triple-clicking skips and reverses songs, respectively). <em><em>— Cameron Faulkner, commerce editor</em></em></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <div class="product-block"><h3>Tile Slim (2024)</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="201" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/Screenshot-2025-04-29-at-2.11.21 PM.png?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="A hand placing a Tile Slim into a leather wallet with a newspaper in the background." /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D637HK8Q"> <strike>$29.99</strike> $23.99 at <strong>Amazon</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Life360-Tile-Slim-2024-1-Pack-Blk/6484423857"> <strike>$29.98</strike> $23.99 at <strong>Walmart</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/black-slim"> $29.99 at <strong>Life360</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="has-text-align-none wp-block-paragraph">My partner and I were coming back from dinner with a friend the other night, and as the bus roared away, he suddenly realized his wallet was no longer in his back pocket.

It’s supereasy to use and, thankfully, comes with a partial charge… The device has a flashlight, too, in case you ever need to jump a car at night, and it can charge a phone over USB-C.

But for anyone who plays MMORPGs like&nbsp;<em>World of Warcraft</em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>Final Fantasy XIV</em>, if you can add a bunch of buttons to your mouse, that’s free keybindings, baby. There are tons of mice out there with an entire keypad’s worth of thumb buttons — the Razer Naga pioneered the genre. I’ve tried all of them, and the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite is the best. It’s the one that feels best in my hand — partly because you can adjust the position of the number pad, which is important during long raids and dungeons. <em><em>—</em> Jackie Thomas</em></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <div class="product-block"><h3>Sonos Five</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="208" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25769556/sonosfive.jpg?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="A marketing image of the Sonos Five." /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CC4QH4/"> <strike>$599</strike> $449 at <strong>Amazon</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="has-text-align-none wp-block-paragraph">The Sonos Five isn’t just Sonos’ best-sounding speaker; it’s at the top of the pack compared to all competitors. From an audio quality perspective, it beats the HomePod, the latest Echo Studio, and other mass market speakers — both those that are smart and not. Can you find better hi-fi bookshelf speakers? Absolutely, but those aren’t natively tied into music services like Sonos gear is. The Five is a hefty unit and takes up a decent amount of desk space. But once you throw some music on, its powerful stereo output is enough to handle any dinner party or weekend get-together. <em>— Chris Welch, former Senior Reviewer</em></p>
