Most Favorable Review

Great deal when on sale

Redragon M901 Perdition 16400 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse
Redragon M901 Perdition 16400 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Highly adjustable. Decent quality. My Logitech G500S feels more "solid" but the M901 has more binding capability. Check "Other Thoughs" re: the multitude of side buttons. Purchased for under $40 so a decent buy.

Cons: Cryptic GUI. Side buttons somewhat small [I accept that they need to be]. Even with all the weights, seems kind of light, especially at higher DPIs. The jury's still out on the additional "rapid fire" button. The concept's interesting in FPSs but it's a little awkward to get at.

Overall Review: I used 1/4" self adhesive "bumps" on the #2, #5 and #11 side buttons for thumb indexing [location}. Now I have no problems getting oriented and properly locating them. [The "bumps" are transparent cabinet door stops from the hardware store, self adhesive 1/4" dia by 1/8'" high]]

APIDA 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model AM51ALNGSP
APIDA 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model AM51ALNGSP

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: It will not POST when used with other brand RAM that's rated 2.5-3-3-8. Shows in SiSoft Sandra as 3.0-4-4-8, not 2.5 latency I'm not happy but I am wiser re: this brand

Nice monitor if only I could get the color right

BenQ GW2765HT 27" 1440p IPS Monitor, 100% sRGB, 4ms(GTG), 350 Brightness, 20M:1 DCR, Built-in Speakers, Height Adjustable, VESA Ready
BenQ GW2765HT 27" 1440p IPS Monitor, 100% sRGB, 4ms(GTG), 350 Brightness, 20M:1 DCR, Built-in Speakers, Height Adjustable, VESA Ready

Pros: On sale excellent bang for the buck

Cons: If I could solve this, it would get 5 eggs. Using HDMI cable from a nVidia GTX 780 - all white backgrounds have a dingy yellow hue. My two adjacent monitors are 1920x1080 and fed by the onboard Intel video chipset. Their whites are spot-on, making this (primary) monitor's yellowish effect on whites very annoying. I have tried to correct using the Win 10 color management and using the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile - to no avail. I also cannot get the brightness up to an acceptable level.

Overall Review: I would recommend this monitor IF I could fix the issues listed in "Cons".

iRulu X10 Tablet - 10.1 inch, 1024*600, Quad Core, 16GB, Bluetooth HDMI - White

Pros: Good price, nice features for the money UNTIL (go to "cons")

Cons: I stll haven't figured out what good the microSD card is, after inserting a 32GB SDHC and can't access anything on it.

Overall Review: I understand this is NOT a fault with the Irulu pad, but the KITKAT 4.4 OS on it. Thanks, Google. You crapped the bed here

Unitek USB 3.0 Hub 4 Port Super Speed 5Gbps Ultra Mini for Ultra Book/MacBook Air/Windows 8
Unitek USB 3.0 Hub 4 Port Super Speed 5Gbps Ultra Mini for Ultra Book/MacBook Air/Windows 8

Pros: On paper it looks like just what I needed

Cons: Any USB3.0 or 2.0 device inserted will not read. It identifies in device manager as a Renesas Electronics USB2.0 root hub with up-to-date drivers, and working properly, but no storage device is detected in Explorer. If I plug the storage device directly into the USB3.0 port, it eads properly.

Don't know if it works

SYBA SY-NBK61029 100W Laptop Car DC Power Adapter, 9 DC Output Tips, 1 USB Port
SYBA SY-NBK61029 100W Laptop Car DC Power Adapter, 9 DC Output Tips, 1 USB Port

Pros: Specs look OK. 9 plugs. One of them ought to work

Cons: With a Toshiba Satellite LT using 19v/3.42amps, one would think one of the power plugs would fit. Nope. Outer ground ring is OK at 5.0mm, but power pin is 0.5mm off any either of the two that are 5mm

Overall Review: The one egg is for Newegg's usually fast, efficient service. The missing 4 eggs are on Syba
