Can't install product

McAfee Internet Security 2022 - 1 Year / 3 Devices - Download Code
McAfee Internet Security 2022 - 1 Year / 3 Devices - Download Code

Pros: -N/A

Cons: Situation: OS: W7 64 PC on auto update I bought this license key and activated it on the McAfee site. Then the problem started. - After downloading the small exe file and running it I got the message that one MS patch is missing. KB3033929. I went to the MS site and downloaded the patch manually. As I try to install it I get a window message that it is already installed. - So I got to update history and check there and oddly don't see it listed there as line item like it is NOT installed. - Seems like I have to write of the money I paid as the code activated on the McAfee site. But because it keeps insisting on that KB3033929 patch which MS claims seems to be installed. = Mexican stand off between McAfee installer and OS.

Overall Review: After this experience I can just recommend to stay away from this software. You might face the same issue, you might not. I just can't recommend the gamble.

Simple but also functional, practical mouse (Logitech G102)

Logitech G102 Gaming Mouse 6 Buttons 8000 DPI 16.8M Color RGB Optical USB Wired Game Mouse Mause Gamer Mice Support Windows 10/8/7
Logitech G102 Gaming Mouse 6 Buttons 8000 DPI 16.8M Color RGB Optical USB Wired Game Mouse Mause Gamer Mice Support Windows 10/8/7

Pros: - Mouse was factory sealed. - Plug and Play. Simple but practical. No software install which is much appreciated.

Cons: - Mouse was NOT shipped from the US as advertised but from China which lead to a slightly longer delivery time (11days instead of 7-9 days). The post label claims it got send from Rosemead in California but the Global Mail label tells it came straight from the factory in Shenzhen in China.

Overall Review: I would haven't bought the mouse if I had known it comes from the other side of the planet as I needed it relatively fast but not overnight. So the wrong labeling with Stock availability was annoying me. Besides that, the mouse itself is surprisingly good. No much nonsense with lots of buttons or extra software install. Makes a good backup mouse for an emergency. The lights are a bit annoying but no real issue.

Bad marketing from Ubisoft

Might & Magic: Heroes VI Complete Edition [Online Game Code]
Might & Magic: Heroes VI Complete Edition [Online Game Code]

Pros: After registering the code at UPlay I thought at first this is just the stand alone expansion 'Shades of Darkness' of M&MH6. Stupid Ubisoft displays the product in your game library as the expansion but once you installed the game and run it through the opening video you see the main menu showing that it is indeed the compete edition.

Cons: I couldn't interrupt the impressive opening video which was annoying. It's a great game, a worthy successor in that franchise for the former games, great soundtrack. I just wish Ubisoft would not do such obnoxious marketing by labeling products that badly to make you think you might got the wrong product until you made it into the main menu. Shame on them, besides this major marketing screw up a great product I would give 5 stars if I had not that hazzle with the wrong naming at the beginning.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard– Cherry MX Blue (RZ03-00381900-R3U1)

Pros: - Mechanical. Nice heavy and durable - You can program really every single key in any way you like, from macros, activate programs, disable, put a macro on it and save all changes in individual profiles for individual game profiles...whoever has need such stuff. - Keyboard casing shows easily fingerprints but can also be easily cleaned again where other keyboards make it not that easy. - Lighting levels are neat. On highest you can use your keyboard as a flashlight. I find 10% usually sufficient. Function keys allow steps from 0 to 100 in steps of 5% each.

Cons: - I use my PC also for writing texts. So it had been nice if all the secondary symbols on number keys would be lit up as well. So I am forced to work from memory by dim light. - The Razor R key. I wish there would be a replacement key with a real R and not that open triangle. Shoot the designer for that. Otherwise a great keyboard.

Overall Review: - One key light was not working. Not worth to send the keyboard back over one defect key light. I removed the key and cleaned the mechanical key before I popped the key back in. Luckily that solved the problem. - Keys are indeed a bit too slick. Wish there would be a slightly bigger gap between macro keys to the left and between function key blocks on the top. To find more securely the most important F5 and F9 keys for shooters without. Maybe a little less distance between ESC key and F1 in the future but giving that won space to the other F key block gaps. - Any suggestions were I can find a R key as replacement as this degenerated designer triangle they call a R sucks.

Smooth and fast delivery

Item came from CA to the East coast in six days in mint condition in original box. The mouse was not the first choice but by the difficult market and general availability I had not that much of a choice. I guess I will get used to the different piece of equipment.
