Most Critical Review

Worked great until it didn't anymore

Logitech M500 Black Tilt Wheel USB Corded Laser 1000 dpi Mouse
Logitech M500 Black Tilt Wheel USB Corded Laser 1000 dpi Mouse

Pros: Very comfortable. Perfect number and placement of buttons for basic office usage. It's an excellent lower-end, basic mouse... when it works.

Cons: This mouse worked great and would have been 5 stars until it developed a double-click issue about 15 months after I bought it. Now it's basically unusable. Every time I single click it reports a double click to the computer. Or, when I click and drag (such as dragging a file to another folder), it "loses" the click and drops the file before I let go of the mouse button.

Overall Review: Mouse wheel is a little loud.

Great mouse until scroll wheel freaks out

Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX for PC and Mac, Large Mouse, Long Range Wireless Mouse
Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX for PC and Mac, Large Mouse, Long Range Wireless Mouse

Pros: - Wireless, but can still be used when plugged in for charging - Perfect size and shape for larger hands - Long battery life - Forward and back buttons - It's purdy

Cons: - Scroll wheel skips after a year or two of consistent use - Right button a little sensitive

Overall Review: I have owned 2 of these mice, and the biggest problem I have had with both of them is that the scroll wheel seems to freak out after a couple years. When using the scroll wheel to scroll on the web or in documents, it starts to skip several pages at a time instead of a few lines (click scrolling is turned on). It gets to the point where the scroll wheel is completely unusable. The other smaller issue I've had with both mice is that I tend to rest my ring finger on the right mouse button. On other mice it doesn't cause any problems, but on this mouse, it seems like the right button is sensitive enough that the weight of my resting finger is enough to accidentally click. So, as a result I'm constantly right-clicking everything. There are also a few features on the mouse that seem pretty gimmicky. I have never found any of these features useful: the zoom button, the "hyper scrolling mode", and the window switching button. The window switch software is very slow. Even with a high end video card, the animation is slow and jumpy. I'd rather just hit alt-tab.

Pros: I installed it and it works. Strong connection from another room about 25ft away from the router. Extremely easy to install... plugged it into the mobo, turned on the computer, installed drivers from the included CD, and connected to our wifi network.

Cons: It doesn't mow my lawn for me.

Overall Review: It's installed in a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

It works

AZiO BTD211 USB 2.0 Micro Bluetooth Adapter
AZiO BTD211 USB 2.0 Micro Bluetooth Adapter

Pros: It just works. Haven't had any problems with it. Installed on a Windows 7 x64 machine.

Cons: Just being nit-picky, but the metal part sticks out a little bit from the USB port. The plastic isn't quite as flush with the edge of the port as I'd like.

Overall Review: I'm having pizza for lunch today.

Convenient, but poor sound quality

Motorola Behind the Neck Stereo Bluetooth Headphone Black Bulk (S305)
Motorola Behind the Neck Stereo Bluetooth Headphone Black Bulk (S305)

Pros: It just worked without any trouble. Paired it with my PC and with my myTouch 4G without any problems. Very convenient to not have to deal with wires.

Cons: The sound quality is not great for listening to music. Although, I might be a little biased though since my previous headphones were Sennheiser.

Overall Review: I would only recommend if you're not concerned with audio quality. The quality seemed to improve slightly when I really made sure that the speakers were centered on my ears. Not sure if it's the shape of the headphones or the shape of my head, but they naturally sit a little high on my ears.
