Works great with my SD cards

Pros: Works just fine with my SD cards. I currently only have USB 2.0 on my computer, but this reader doesn't mind.

Cons: The attachment cord could be a bit longer - at least long enough so when I plug it in to a port on the front of my desktop, I can lay the unit on top of the tower.

Overall Review: I bought this on a Newegg daily deal and it works well for the $'s I spent. I don't have any other memory cards other than SD, so I can't really speak to how well those work.

Keyboard matched the original and works fine

Pros: This keyboard was purchased to replace the OEM keyboard that had lost some keys. It matched the OEM keyboard layout exactly and the key markings were the same. Once I got the cable attached to the computer correctly (not the easiest thing to do...) it worked just fine.

Cons: The printing on the keys is not as bright as the OEM keyboard. It also seems like the keys make a bit more noise than the OEM keyboard. I don't consider either issue a big deal.

Nice portable mouse

Pros: Laser tracking works well. Small size can be a plus if storage space is at a premium. I view the retractable cord as a plus because I didn't want a wireless mouse that required batteries.

Cons: None really. The retracting mechanism doesn't always fully retract, but that's not a big deal.

Overall Review: I picked up three of these on a "daily deal" type website a few months ago so I could pack a spare mouse in my computer bag. I've ended up using them a lot more than I thought I would and am quite pleased with how they work. I ended up really liking the retractable cord because I often end up working on non-level surfaces where a wireless mouse would slide off and fall on the ground if I let go. With the retractable cord on this mouse I can set it to a length that will keep it from falling down if I let go of it. This mouse is a compact mouse so it can feel a bit small but I've gotten used to it. The buttons and scroll wheel all work well. Overall, a nice little mouse.

Was a great monitor until someone stole it..

Pros: Great image quality for everyday computing. Once I set it up and did a bit of color / brightness tuning it worked great.

Cons: The stand could be a bit better with a bit more adjustment available, but once we got it set up got used to it, we didn't have any problems.

Overall Review: We used this monitor strictly for everday computing - no gaming or watching movies, etc. We never tried the speakers so I can't comment on that. Apparently it looked nice enough that the people that broke into our house decided they needed it worse than I did...
