Pros: Laser (Much more sensitive than my M$ Optical Blue I had) Clear Scroll wheel for easy firewheel modding (similar to the Blue) Stiffer scroll wheel = more discrete control than most mice Thin lighter cord (compared to my Blue)

Cons: Side buttons are awkward at times

Overall Review: This mouse is pretty flippin sweet. Nice upgrade from any optical mouse I've used. Virtually no stray light from under. I prefer the discrete scroll wheel for gaming, some other mice scroll too fast and it's hard to tell when it actually "switches". Low power too (100 mA, or 400 mA avalible for modding and breaking USB standards).

Pros: Small/space efficent Tone control High Fi/No noticable distortion

Cons: Volume seems like a linear POT rather than logrithmic (in other words volume maxes out after about half the dial, and the second half seems to do nothing)

Overall Review: The tone control allows you to tweak to fit your style easily and on the fly (a feature not offered often in this price range). Very good set of speakers, only thing I could ask for is more cowbe.. more bass, but that's to be expected with a 2.0.

Comments: I bought this because I wanted a monitor that could also serve as a portable TV for my X-Box. This does both without having to pay extra to get one with a TV tuner in it. Downsides are speakers are very low quality and I've got 3 dead pixels.
