Great budget gaming mouse
Pros: This mouse comes with a max DPI of 2000 which is about mid-range for most gaming mouses. You can switch the DPI higher/lower with two buttons right below the mouse wheel. No drivers are needed to be installed for all features to be used in the majority of games. The precision and aim of the mouse feels very good and smooth. This mouse feels nice and solid even though light, looks like its pretty durable.
Cons: No driver support (could be a bad or a good thing) according if you wanted to remap the buttons.
Overall Review: This mouse is really light. Before I gave up gaming for a little bit I had a Logitech G9 mouse. I feel that this mouse is as accurate if not more accurate than the G9. Also this mouse is specifically for the "claw grip" gamer. Overall after getting back into PC gaming I did not have a lot of money to spend and needed a gaming mouse. I'm completely satisfied with this mouse even after having owned a higher dollar Logitech G9 before hand. I recommend this mouse to anyone who is on a budget, uses claw grip, does not feel like they have to remap any of the buttons.
Great router
Pros: Multiple connections through wired and wireless has never gave me any problems. At one point or another I have used just about every setting and all of them has worked just the way they were meant to.
Cons: none
Overall Review: This is a great router, I have been through at least ten different routers and this one is the best I have had yet. For the cheap price and all it has to offer it is hard to pass up this router. I've never had any of the problems that others has mentioned with wireless on multiple laptops, kindle fire, android phones, or wii. I have only upgraded the firmware with the official firmware made for this router, it is rock solid stable with cable internet.
Great budget headphones
Pros: Great sound and environment. Looks stylish, not big and bulky. Folds and comes with a case to keep dust off and take the headphones on the go. Solid and durable. There is a nice amount of clean sounding bass at default settings. With some sound card adjustments everything sounds perfect.
Cons: If any would be the cord length (right under 5ft)
Overall Review: I generally use these headphones for all type of games. These headphones sound like the Sennheiser HD212 that I used to own. Never hearing of Cresyn before and not having many reviews I was weary about buying these, but I do not regret it. I have owned Tritton AX 51, Everglide S500, and Sennheiser HD212 and also gamed with NIKI-650's I believe these headphones give a much liver environment sound than any of the mentioned. Great headphones if you are on a budget.
Great card for price
Pros: Great fast card for a low price. Performance is the same pace as the 570 which runs 300+
Cons: Heat is a major con on this card for most people but for me its not too bad. I usually max out at 70C under load in a Xion Stacker air cooled case. In Evga Precision I have my fan run 70% at 60-70C. Noise is another problem for a lot of people, but in all honestly its not too bad for me unless I have my fan speed up to 80% but its only been that high when testing it all out. Power consumption, I started out with a 500watt PSU with 18a rails being ignorant thinking it may work. LOL I was wrong, Went out and bought an Antec 650w and it works great. LONG card, make sure you have the space in your case before you get it!
Overall Review: All the cons I listed are nothing that concern me but might to others, so this card will be for some and not others. Keep in mind that certain CPUs will bottleneck this card. I have a Phenom x4 9850 overclocked to 3.1ghz and still get noticeable bottleneck. I'm still able to run with great fps on all the games I have tried in 1680x1050 mostly everything maxed. Games that I have tried: The Witcher 2, LA NOIRE, Metro 2033, Alien vs Predator, Fear3, The Darkness 2, Americas Army 3, Blacklight Retribution
Works as listed...
Pros: With ASUS M4A79XTD and AMD 955 I had to manually set timings and fsb but this ram runs flawlessly 7-7-7-24, 1600mhz at 1T. If you have a case window and lights, the shiny heatsinks reflect them awesomely!
Cons: N/A
Overall Review: Not sure why there are so many people having problems with not just this ram but a lot of ddr3. Myself and others that seem to know what they are doing has it running flawlessly. Maybe check motherboard compatibility before buying could help.
Great headset
Pros: Great sound positioning, customizable to comfort, They have fell off my desk many times and still work fine, sides of them light up so if someone leaves them on the floor I can see them instead of stepping on them at night! Mic pics up very well at high quality, long cord. They are comfortable to me, I can wear them for hours and forget they're there.
Cons: Big and makes you look like an astronaut when you wear them. From my experience you can not turn them off without unplugging the splitter. (Holding mute and front speaker does not turn them off for me)
Overall Review: People always say these have no bass and I thought the same until I figured out in a X-FI sound console make the crossover 60. These things rumble great now to anything. I've seen bad reviews because you have to hook 4 jacks into the back of the PC, people get real this is a 5.1 headset you have plugs for each channel. I've seen mixed reviews on the comfort of this headset also. I've let many different people try these out and none has had any problems. Now if your heads bigger than my 6'3" friend that has no problem in these than you might have an issue.
