Pros: Xinput (XBOX) compatible while being Dualshock (PS3) in style Very comfortable grip for medium hands, not too small like Sony and Nintendo tend to make, and not massive like Microsoft tends to make; Just right. Very solid build quality, I'm fairly clumsy and not the most gentle person, and it has lasted me faithfully for quite some time. Works in Windows and Linux out of the box, no driver nonsense required. Mode button swaps left analog and D-Pad inputs for more comfortable control in some games.

Cons: Analog sticks have an inner deadzone, meaning it doesn't recognize input until you tilt it slightly further from center. Very loud and clicky, though this can be a pro for people who want very tactile and audible feedback. D-Pad is a single piece, I prefer individual buttons. Again, can be a pro for some. Triggers have high resistance, requires a firm push, can start to hurt your hands in games that require lots of trigger use or if your hands are already hurting from something else.

Overall Review: The only con that isn't a minor personal preference gripe is the analog deadzone. Conclusion: For the price, this gamepad is the best you're gonna get until you reach the $50+ bracket where Xbox and Playstation gamepads reside. The deadzone makes it unsuitable for competitive play, but if you're planning to regularly play games that require very precise and fast inputs, you'll probably want to shell out a bit more. If you only play single player games, or only play casually, and don't need a wireless pad, you simply can't go wrong with this thing.

Pros: Very minimal and compact design without compromising the ability to use full-size components apart from the microATX motherboard. Unique HDD/SSD mounts allow full-length video cards.

Cons: The very same minimal and compact design requires that builders using this case have a decent amount of skill to successfully put it together. It's definitely a tight fit, and I wouldn't dream of using this case on a PC that I plan to remove or upgrade anything in for a long time. For me, this build will eventually graduate into a personal server, so small form-factor was the deciding feature. Still, a double-edged blade. Make sure you know what you're getting into.

Overall Review: The HDD/SSD mounts took me about an hour of trying different things before having to google it. It works great, I'm just an idiot that couldn't figure out how it worked.

Pros: Gold plated Ferrite cores Short cable (longer cables, especially cheap ones, lose more power over the length) Snug connector doesn't fall out

Cons: Short cable, obviously unsuitable for those who need a longer cable Snug connector is great for me, keeps the thing firmly in there, others may not like it

Overall Review: I never feel like the connector is too snug or tight, but it does require a good push and a good tug to insert and remove it. All in all, it was perfect for my personal usage. If you want a connector that doesn't fall out, don't need/want a long cable, you'll not find a better cable. Especially cheap considering it has gold plating and ferrite. It should go without saying that if you want a long cable or a less firm connection, you shouldn't purchase this.

Pros: Large, yet fits perfectly into the right hand, giving a great precise feel. Two very distinct side buttons. Too many buttons annoys me, two is plenty. Dimpled scroll wheel is very satisfying to use. Lasted two years of daily, very very heavy use.

Cons: Relatively low DPI compared to modern high performance mice. Friend broke my scroll wheel, now I have to buy a new one :( Might upgrade to a higher tier Gigabyte mouse.

Overall Review: If you want a cheap, simple, comfortable mouse, you're on the right page. After using this mouse for so long, no other feels quite the same, none have fit my hand quite the way this one does.

Pros: Absolutely lovely. Blows my old router completely out of the water. Wifi has good coverage, machine has a ton of memory. Open source firmware support is the primary reason I made this purchase and it made good on that claim.

Cons: In my head, I always read the model WNR3500L as "Wiener3500L." Not a good purchase if you are immature.

Overall Review: It's apparently not marked anywhere on the page, but this is the v2 of this model. That's not actually an issue, but when I obtained it, I went looking for some custom firmware and almost flashed some v1 firmware on it which could have potentially ended poorly. The v2 model, unlike a lot of revised router models, actually has better specs than the v1.

Pros: Bought to tether a PS3 controller to a PC using MotionInJoy's DS3 Tool to replace a lost cable, works flawlessly.

Cons: It isn't nine and three quarters feet, so I can't use it to hack into Hogwarts.

Overall Review: I imagine a USB to mini-USB cable would work as well, but you never know whether they slip some proprietary junk into it. Didn't feel like researching it just to save a dollar.
