Love this printer!

Samsung Xpress SL-M2825DW Duplex Wireless/USB Monochrome Laser Printer
Samsung Xpress SL-M2825DW Duplex Wireless/USB Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: Both wired and wireless printing. Does duplex printing. Fast for price. Good quality printing. Easier setup then I was expecting considering I needed to use wired and wireless connection.

Cons: Minor details, but the paper tray has to be extended a little in the back to hold 8.5x11 paper adding slight inconvenience for my placement, and it doesn't seem to auto sleep.

Overall Review: This is a great printer especially for the price (I bought it on sale for $80). I have always liked laser over inkjet myself. Of course it is monochromatic, as described, but just does a great job. I can print wirelessly from my iPhone or wired from my desktop without having to change any settings.

Does the job...pretty much

Rosewill 2 x 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Multimedia Stereo Headset - RH-001
Rosewill 2 x 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Multimedia Stereo Headset - RH-001

Pros: Microphone and speakers work. Cheap price (I bought about 25 pairs for high school students using Rosetta Stone). Somewhat adjustable for head size. Works as a temporary headset.

Cons: Students complained about discomfort after about half a class period (30 min. or so). The speaker cushion fell off rather easily on several pairs, but not easy to put back on. Several earpieces actually broke off (about 3 of the 25) and not from being mishandled.

Overall Review: This is a "you get what you pay for" situation. For our purposes at school, these headsets were okay, though not sure if I will go with the same ones next year. We needed disposable headsets for each student, and that's what we got. I would not by these for home use when I intend to keep them longer than a few months. I prefer a descent set of logitech 350's or something comparable that is still relatively inexpensive but lasts much longer.

great so far!!

PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 818 Wireless Gaming Headset,  PC/MAC
PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 818 Wireless Gaming Headset, PC/MAC

Pros: Great for the price! They are comfortable and have a great sound. Easy set up with Windows 10 basically it is plug and play then just pair the headset to the receiver.

Cons: The charging cord is a bit short.

Overall Review: I did purchase these for 19.99 on Black Friday so it was definitely worth the price for me. I would buy these again.

Great mouse--some cons by others are ridiculous!

Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse, Four-Button, Programmable, Dark Gray
Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse, Four-Button, Programmable, Dark Gray

Pros: This really is a great mouse! I used this for many years, even for gaming! I finally switched to a gaming mouse for more buttons and a scroll wheel, but I often miss my trackball for saving space on my desk. This mouse operates smoothly, is easy to clean, and functions well all around. I highly recommend this product.

Cons: None really so long as you understand exactly what you are buying.

Overall Review: Saw a con that said it has no scroll--this is easily seen in the picture, no need to list this as a con, although I do miss the scroll. Also saw several cons that mention the third and fourth smaller buttons are hard to get to. This is bogus. Your thumb easily moves up to click the button above as does either the ring finger move up or the middle finger move down to click the other button. One review talked about the ball easily falling out. What?! Not sure what you have done to your mouse to have this happen. If you turn the mouse upside down and shake it or if you are trying to use it upside down, then you might have this problem. Otherwise, you should be fine. Finally, I saw another review mentioning that there is no wireless version...It's a trackball...it sits in a fixed position on your desk...why would you want a wireless version. "So I can sit across the room and still use my trackball?" Really? A trackball is designed not to be moved: therefore, there really is no reason to need a wireless version that you would have to charge and risk getting moved off your desk (etc.) Understand when buying that this is a trackball mouse that is wired and has no scroll and only four buttons. You buy this for a well-priced, space-saving mouse that functions very well.

Great Headset for Price

Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-3000 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Microsoft L2 LifeChat LX-3000 USB Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: Comfortable, great sound, USB, in-line mute/volume controls that work well.

Cons: Cord tends to twist easily and, if not corrected, will eventually break the outer coating causing trouble. They can last a long time, however, if maintained, and they are cheap enough to replace if not.

Overall Review: This is a great budget headset! I have used several of these over the past years, and they are excellent for the price. They are comfortable to wear for hours of gaming--the most comfortable budget headset I've used. They are also USB, which is a better quality sound imo. They come with software I have never installed; I just use it as plug and play. I have also used these on my ps3 which works well. Excellent for the Price!

Great Mouse!!

Logitech Marble Gray 4 Buttons USB or PS/2 Wired TrackBall Mouse
Logitech Marble Gray 4 Buttons USB or PS/2 Wired TrackBall Mouse

Pros: This is a great mouse! I use this even for gaming because I can move my arrow faster along the screen (although it did take some getting used to). This mouse has held up well to my overactive usage. Also, it is ideal for my desk because I have little room left for my mouse. I've used logitech products a long time and think they make some great products.

Cons: No real cons, just some personal preferences that could be added...

Overall Review: I'd prefer if there were a scroll somehow, although I'm not exactly sure where they would put it on this particular mouse. I also wouldn't mind one more button just because of the nature of how I use it. This is a great mouse to buy!
