Most Favorable Review

best headset for PS4

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset - PlayStation 4
PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset - PlayStation 4

Pros: Amazing sound quality, comfortable to wear for long times, easily the best headset out of all the consoles

Cons: dongle takes up an USB port so I have to unplug it while using my fight stick or PSVR (external hard drive in other port), however you can still use headphone wire for sound in those cases

Overall Review: premium build quality and sound, highly recommended for everyone across PlayStation Nation lol

good value no-name TV

Avera 43AER20 43-Inch 1080p LED TV, Black
Avera 43AER20 43-Inch 1080p LED TV, Black

Pros: slim, easy to set up, good picture quality, great value for a 1080p display

Cons: flimsy bevels, I don't like the stand

Overall Review: Great quality for the price. I'm going to buy a at least one more for another room. I use it in my retro gaming room (SNES Classic, PSX, PSX3). I think it's the perfect TV for the price and with Newegg financing there is no reason not to buy if you need a good 1080p TV in a non-main room.

Great stick for the price

HORI PlayStation 3 Fighting Stick Mini 3 - HP3-125U
HORI PlayStation 3 Fighting Stick Mini 3 - HP3-125U

Pros: I got this specifically for Tekken Tag 2. I've been playing Tekken for over 15 years, but always on a pad. I wanted to try out a stick but wasn't willing to pay ~$150 before knowing whether or not I could adapt. This mini fight stick has a quality build and responds flawlessly to inputs correctly. Easy to set in your lap or on a solid surface; has feet that stick to a surface well. My hands sit comfortably on it even though it is smaller than a full size stick/arcade cabinet. Due to the size the space between the stick and buttons is close but I was able to get used to it fairly quickly.

Cons: Cable not as long as I would like (only ~10 ft). No storage for cable when not in use, not necessarily a con considering stick's size. Start/Select buttons are small but easy to hit once you get used to their location.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone that a) wants to try playing their favorite fighting game on a stick before buying a more expensive one and b) anyone who wants a good stick that is small and portable. For now I am sticking with my pad to play, but having this around will be nice when I or my friends want a more authentic Tekken experience. Overall I would recommend this mini fight stick.

Good clock for the price

Elgin 3455E Electric Alarm Clock With Selectable Display Color
Elgin 3455E Electric Alarm Clock With Selectable Display Color

Pros: Feels quality made. Small. Multiple colors to choose from. Clear easy to read display with everything visible: time including seconds, date and day of the week, all at a glance.

Cons: As the other reviewer stated, poor viewing angle, but not too big of a deal.

Overall Review: Overall great price and value for a simple digital clock.

Good low-cost KVM

IOGEAR GCS62 MiniView Micro PS/2 KVM Switch with Cables
IOGEAR GCS62 MiniView Micro PS/2 KVM Switch with Cables

Pros: Small, works as advertised, even with wireless keyboard/mouse combo. No decrease in video quality. Fast switching time. Very long built-in cables. I am still impressed at the quality for this price.

Cons: No way to change key-combination to switch between machines, but at this price a very minor gripe.

Overall Review: I was very surprised at the quality for such a low price. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a basic KVM switch who doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

Good wireless combo

Logitech EX 110 Black 102 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys Cordless Standard Cordless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Kit
Logitech EX 110 Black 102 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys Cordless Standard Cordless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Kit

Pros: I got this to go with my new LCD monitor to further free up my desk space. I like the feel of the keyboard and mouse a lot. Came with batteries. Small receiver and good range. So far no problems.

Cons: There is no Scroll Lock key, which normally is no big deal but that is how I switch machines with my KVM switch. My fault for not looking closer, but I thought that was a standard key on any keyboard.

Overall Review: Comes with software that probable would work to set up Scroll Lock, but only works if you hook up keyboard via USB, which is not an option for me since I use this KVM switch. I can still switch machines using scanning mode, but again it is a pain not having a Scroll Lock key. Overall though, great product and a great price, and with Newegg's free fast shipping, I am a satisfied customer.
