Works fine
Pros: Works. My limiting factor here is my TV so I can't really comment about the quality of the output.
Cons: The short bracket that comes with it mounts a little funny. Doesn't really fit just right, and I was afraid of breaking the card while screwing the short bracket to the card.
Overall Review: I'm using the S-video output to connect to my TV. Keep in mind this is a 7-pin output if you need a converter. Couldn't find that information anywhere. Also, with the card in place I cannot get a VGA signal from the motherboard - I don't know if this is a standard thing or not.
Not worth the money
Pros: Price
Cons: The sound quality is terrible. I bought this to my parents who perform singing at retirement homes and such. They are only semi-pros, but the mics couldn't keep up with my mom's voice - the output was terrible and scratchy regardless of the amplifier they hooked the system to.
Overall Review: My parents eventually bought a "real" wireless system (don't know the brand) and they are very pleased (this to say, the problem was not with my parents' voices or amplifiers...).
Works!
Pros: Works!
Cons: Nothing yet
Overall Review: Device recognized and driver installed automatically by Win 7. Disabled the wireless on my Toshiba and connected directly to my router via the adapter, and it works.
Love it!
Pros: Comfortable, quick response upon turning-on, very small USB transmitter
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Felt a little strange to work with in the first place, but you get the hang of it quickly. I worried that my thumb will get sore from the sudden switch to ball-tracking, but I've been using the mouse a lot since I got it and no pains or strains what-so-ever. The mouse itself is quite large, so not very portable, but that is to be expected. One plus that I thought of, is for working with computers that serve as home entertainment systems. Since the track-ball does all the work, you don't actually need to move the mouse around to move the cursor. Also don't need to worry about your mouse tracking smoothly on rough surfaces (such as couch cushions...). The wireless range is very large (worked for me at 10 feet or so).
Mouse died after 10 months
Pros: - Good range for both keyboard and mouse - at least 9 feet. - Mouse is powering-off after a few seconds of inactivity to conserve battery power. - Nano receiver almost non-visible.
Cons: Well, mouse died after 10 months or so. It still turns on, but cannot communicate with the receiver (yes, I changed batteries, yes, I hit the "connect" button). Since it is a combo I am stuck with the keyboard, and I don't want to have two USB slots taken.
Overall Review: Overall it was good while it lasted.
Works great!
Pros: - Good range - works at least 7 feet away from the computer. - Small and almost unnoticeable USB transmitter. - The mouse has an on-off button, but it also puts itself to "sleep" after a few minutes of inactivity, with one click to bring it back to life. - Keyboard media keys work well with Win7 (pause, play, etc.)
Cons: Keyboard feels a little light and cheap, but the weight is not always correlated to quality, as we all know.
Overall Review: Great product for the price. Staples didn't have anything under $30...
