Pros: It's a good mouse with an interesting texture and a nice thick scroll wheel. The mouse is bulky enough for large hands without being too big for smaller hands, and the buttons all click well. There's red light around the mouse wheel which is toggled with the logo light in the proprietary software, and the cord is covered in a nicely weaved sheath, which comes with its own Velcro strap. The proprietary software is powerful, and the mouse has firmware to hold the mouse's click values in memory. It also has three weights which are 4.4 grams each, allowing you to adjust the feel of the mouse significantly. The thing's sleek, pretty well designed overall, and doesn't feel like cheap plastic in your hands. The skates are thick and glide over surfaces well; only time will tell how they hold up to dirt. The accuracy of the motion is particularly good for optical, and it has five options for height sensitivity, which really helps on different materials when you need to lift your mouse and keep going in one direction or another. The profiles are really nice when you need different setups for different games, not to mention one for Windows Explorer, your favorite web browser, and maybe a text editor.

Cons: The software is not included, and is a 30 MB download from corsair.com, which is a bit hefty for something like this. The software itself is quite clunky, and could use a GUI overhaul. When you change between software profiles manually or automatically, the mouse hangs for a moment, causing a slight jitter. The DPI buttons seem a bit redundant (having an up and down), and while you can change their function in software, the "up" between the mouse wheel and the DPI indicator is almost impossible to click without bending your finger in an unnatural way, which is very annoying while playing games. The DPI settings themselves are a bit too weighted, with the 800 "Sniper" shot being little slower than the 1600 or 3200 options, and the 4000 being a bit much. With a little polling rate alteration, you can get a speed you like with the settings, but there should have been more variety in the 3000-4000 area. The buttons are all rather small, which takes getting used to, and the screws for the weights have a trick to getting them back in without weights inside, if you want them back in.

Overall Review: Hope you like the color red, cause this thing has red lights on four of its six sides, and you can't turn the front and back off independently, so it's either quite bright or quite dark. I think it's weighted best without any of the extra weights, but I like being able to lift the mouse with little effort. If you have a surface that it doesn't stay down on, keeping the weights in is the best way to get an accurate reading on the surface, and the software will help you test surface qualities, so you can find the best surface and setup. It does pretty well on wood desks, mousepads, paper, skin, clothes, and the side of my chair, but it doesn't seem all that happy with glass, getting a second reflection of light to confuse its optical sensors occasionally, which react to even the red light bouncing off your hand four or five inches away. It's a little touchy, a little proprietary, but quite useful when you've got 15 keys to mash and only one hand on the keyboard.

Pros: Works great for OpenGL and DirectDraw.

Cons: Direct3D does not work. At all. ATI's had issues with not supporting their AGP cards, and this is one that is affected by it.

Overall Review: Wish it had worked correctly, but it doesn't. Do not buy this card until suitable drivers are released!

Pros: You can tell that a lot of effort was put into copying the original controller style in every way. You'd think Nintendo would sue for intellectual property infringement, it's so close.

Cons: The memory/rumble slot is fake.

Overall Review: If you feel like playing Mortal Kombat, be warned that I have no idea what the warranty on these things are. Button-mashing may not be covered!

Pros: It's a SNES controller. Not a gamepad in the shape of a SNES controller. It's got the weight, the feel, the buttons, the D-Pad, and the sturdiness of an original. A true reproduction.

Cons: The buttons are Super FamiCom colored instead of purple.

Overall Review: I bought a USB SNES controller a number of years ago and was completely off-put by the shoddy Left and Right buttons, the failure of a D-Pad, and the completely cheap feel of it. I was going to try to find original controllers and USB adapters instead when I ran across this company. I figured, if they're specifically targeting legacy gamers, they probably put some effort into the controllers. I was right. These controllers put that other one I bought to shame. They're magic.

Pros: The weight, the buttons, the D-Pad... they're all perfect. I have an original NES that no longer works, and I pulled out a controller to compare. They're nearly exactly the same, except for the type of plastic; this one feels like better quality plastic than the original. Using it feels entirely authentic to the original console as well.

Cons: It doesn't have the rattle that the original ones had, so you can't use it as a makeshift maracas.

Overall Review: It's rare to see this kind of effort in duplicating a classic controller. These guys nailed it. Whether you plan to make an emulator machine with a Pi or just want to load up JNES and play some quick Star Soldier, this controller will take you back to an earlier day. Before L/R. Before X/Y. Before triggers and rumble packs and rounded corners.

Pros: Threw it into my new laptop before turning the system on. Now my cheap 4 GB laptop is a decent 12 GB, with plenty to spare for the integrated graphics. The speed and the CAS latency are par for the course, though in my case, they slowed down to match the built-in RAM. And of course, low voltage is always wonderful for battery-powered devices.

Cons: The packing is about the same as you'd get for a peripheral device like a mouse or a flash drive. It seems like a common occurrence in RAM sales that these things are not padded and protected as they should be.

Overall Review: This was my first stick of DDR4, but not my first stick of Patriot. They're a good brand, and I've been trusting my hardware with their RAM for almost a decade now. I'm always surprised how well the sticks hold up to being pulled out of and pressed into their slots. Laptop RAM has a bit of an advantage there, luckily. But should anything happen, I know I've got a lifetime warranty backing me up. A refreshing change compared to the 1 year warranty limit plaguing the electronics industry.
