When it comes time to choose a mouse, gamers have a ton of choice. With the seemingly endless number of gaming mice, how do you choose the best?
The top of your priority should be comfort. If a mouse isn’t comfortable, then you’ll be miserable no matter how useful its features are. Next, look at the features you need from a gaming mouse. Do you need programmable buttons, RGB lighting, or weight customization?

Rumors suggest Apple will reveal its new 4-inch iPhone 5se alongside the iPad Air 3 and Apple Watch band options at an event on March 15.

Opinion: Erase the Prequels, Keep Darth Maul
If you haven’t watched the new trailer for Star Wars Rebels, you really should. There’s all kinds of crazy stuff happening, like a green Kylo Ren lightsaber, a Princess Leia cameo, and the surprising return of Darth Maul.
Darth Maul was a triumphant marketing gimmick. Weeks before Episode I premiered, he was already a star. The Sith Lord’s intense gaze, tattooed face, horned brow, and double bladed lightsaber were plastered over every pre-release promo and had us convinced that this was a villain worthy of Darth Vader’s legendary legacy.
Then the Phantom Menace hit theaters, and while Darth Maul spun most impressively, he fell absolutely flat as a character. In the entirety of Episode 1 he spoke a total of three lines. And despite all that flipping and kicking, he lasted only a few minutes against Obi-Wan Kenobi. The dark Lord was bisected and fell down a giant hole.

Back in October, Nintendo pulled back the curtain on its first mobile title, Miitomo, which releases in March and will serve as "a free-to-start communication application that helps friends share fun personal facts and interests."
