Not a bad mouse at all... but -
Pros: Plenty.
Cons: 2 buttons on far right are not intuitive in placement, left & right secondary buttons require abandoning common L/R finger placement which is rather distracting in game. Primary Con - this the only mouse I've ever had that began double-clicking with every single click after 8 months. I find no way to get into the case to clear possible debris (pet hair, typically) or otherwise determine if the fault is native to the device - a failed part - or from a secondary source. Drivers have not updated in quite some time.
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this mouse for those who find the button placement comfortable for them. It's nice under the hand, moves well, has nicely positive clickback on all buttons.
Inexpensive...
Pros: It's inexpensive. That does not mean to say it's cheap. It offers the latest wpa2 protocols (WPA3 is a couple years out) and dual band, so that's pretty decent for the pretty rock bottom price. Being able to log into the router and monitor all connected devices, throttle or disable connections, is a godsend I've been wanting for years. You *cannot* use a filtered (adblock, ect) browser, you won't be able to log in. Incognito browser windows work OK.
Cons: The reviews are not written by native english speakers, so it appears that the few here are simply brushed bought reviews... we shall see... [edit: 10/2018] After setting up it seems that these devices have a peak single device bandwidth of 95mb/s - whether using a wireless connection or directly wired to the router (with said connection set to 'unlimited'). I've attempted to get some information about this but have received no response. The 5k channel cannot be detected by wireless devices one floor up (30 feet).
Overall Review: All of the other reviews here use pretty bad english, so I'm not sure if it's just brushing or they're simply not being reviewed by westerners... Probably brushing for fake reviews.
Rock solid for 3 years - BUT...
Pros: Never had a hiccup from this board since purchase.
Cons: This board is not terribly old, but it is not Windows 10 compatible.
Overall Review: Too bad, since it was so solid I was (am) going to keep using it for years yet.
Good features, mediocre design
Pros: Top mount hot-swap HD connection (SATA) - pretty unique. Fan controls on the top (Hi/Lo/off). Positively insane number of fans.
Cons: Full length hard drives will NOT FIT - the case is not wide enough.
Overall Review: I like the design, weight, features all that - I have yet to power it on so I'll reserve any comments about the fan noise for later. Unfortunately the case has a great big huge deal breaking flaw: The quick mount hardware for internal drives wastes over 1" just for the quick connection, and they're inset from the left panel by an inch or so. Which means that if you want to use full length hard drives they're going to be seated all the way to the rear of the bay - meaning that, if you are using standard SATA power connections you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL BACK ON unless you torque the cables severely (or you happen to have a set of 90-degree SATA power cables handy, which no power supply comes with so you'll have to special order them). Honestly, if the build was not time-sensitive I would be sending this case back for something else (the former case is a Rosewill Thor I would've used, but it's still in operation), the top-mount HD connection is not THAT important. Oh, yes, there are no protective caps for those connectors when they're not in use. Suggestion to the manufacturer: I note that the HDD bays are molded with fan mounting in mind - a good idea would be to add standard HD screw holes as well, so I can attach the HD to the underside of the rack so that it'll be closer to the left side and my power cables will work without having to order a set of 90 degree connections.
Drivers Crashing.
Pros: Compared to what?
Cons: Video card drivers crash constantly... they 'reboot', but any applications DON'T. My other comp runs a pair of 460s or whatever they are... older cards. NO crashes, under twice the load. This 660 is a [censored] pure and simple.
Good & Bad
Pros: It's ASUS, the current trend leader. Not a bad system overall, but for one glaring fault that prompted me to decide against it.
Cons: Comes bundled with Windows 8, with no option to have it pre-loaded with bugless, spyless windows 7.
Overall Review: Throw W8 into the wastebin and let me decide what OS I want, and I'll buy.
