Most Favorable Review

Very good keyboard - still going after over a year of use

Rosewill NEON K52 Wired Waterproof Gaming Keyboard, Mem-chanical Switches, 8 RGB LED Backlight Effects, 104 Keys, 19-Key Anti-Ghosting, 12 Multimedia Hotkeys, Spill-Proof Dust-Proof Aluminum Plate
Rosewill NEON K52 Wired Waterproof Gaming Keyboard, Mem-chanical Switches, 8 RGB LED Backlight Effects, 104 Keys, 19-Key Anti-Ghosting, 12 Multimedia Hotkeys, Spill-Proof Dust-Proof Aluminum Plate

Pros: Great feel when typing. The keyboard seems very durable and no problems after 15 months of use. Spilled a fruit shake on the arrow-keys and Ctrl, Shift keys. I quickly cleaned the keys with a moist cloth and turned the keyboard over to prevent further damage. The keys required a little more pressure to operate for awhile, but work perfectly now.

Cons: I wish the multimedia keys were separate - Rosewill has a more expensive model with that option, but there are several negative reviews, so I will stick with this.

Overall Review: Purchased on sale and may purchase another as a backup or for family. Highly recommend. Rosewill seems to be hit and miss. I own the RKM-600 non-mechanical keyboard and would not recommend. I have also purchased Rosewill gaming mouse that quickly died.

Most Critical Review

6 out of 6 DOA

ADATA 16GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-16G-RBE)
ADATA 16GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-16G-RBE)

Pros: The 3 yellow ones I purchased a few years ago still work. The six blue drives I ordered are all DOA.

Cons: All six of my blue drives are DOA. "USB device not recognized" Will not purchase ADATA again.

Great Power Bank and Customer Support.

RAVPower Portable Charger 15000mAh PD 3.0 Power Bank QC 3.0 18W USB C External Battery Pack 30W Total 3-Port Cell Phone Charger Battery for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy , Nintendo Switch and More

Pros: I have purchase six RAVPower Power Banks over the years. This year, I purchased two of these 15,000mAh Power Banks on sale for ~$13. One worked for a few weeks until it gave up the ghost when I tried to recharge it. I contacted RAVPower, and within a week, I had a new Power Bank! The RAVPower portable chargers I purchased in 2016 and 2018 are still functioning (as is my RAVPower Jump Starter). Occasionally, a product will be DOA, and if/when that happens, I know that RAVPower is a company who stands behind their product. This Power Bank quickly charges my phone. There seems to be minimal power loss over time. This Power Bank is small than my RAVPower banks I have purchased years past. At $13, it is an amazing deal. Hopefully it will be in stock and on sale again soon to purchase addition units for my family.

Cons: One of my six RAVPower Power Banks died after a few uses.

Overall Review: I highly reccoment RAVPower.

Could not use - gave to son

LG 22BK400H-B 21.5" Full HD 1920 x 1080 75Hz 1ms VGA HDMI AMD Radeon FreeSync Flicker Free LED Backlit Monitor
LG 22BK400H-B 21.5" Full HD 1920 x 1080 75Hz 1ms VGA HDMI AMD Radeon FreeSync Flicker Free LED Backlit Monitor

Pros: Ummmm. Can't think of anything positive.

Cons: Too bright and the colors are washed out. I tried adjusting brightness, contrast, all their various preset modes, etc. but the screen was unusable. Gave it to my son for gaming. He does not need it for photo editing, so it does not matter to him that the colors are washed out, etc.

Overall Review: My first and last LG monitor. I use other LG electronics, but will never buy another LG monitor. Loving my ASUS monitor even more.

Have used for year. Very happy with iolo

iolo System Mechanic Professional - Download
iolo System Mechanic Professional - Download

Pros: I have used iolo System Mechanic for a few years and it seems to do it's job well. It cleans out internet and temp sys files with ease. I like to be able to turn off programs that were automatically starting - and iolo gives you info on each program so you can decide if you need it or not.

Overall Review: I've also used AVG Tune-Up, but much prefer System Mechanic. Highly recommend.

Worked well for two weeks

Lenovo V330-14ARR AMD Ryzen 5 2500U (2.00 GHz) 8 GB Memory 256 GB SSD AMD Radeon Vega 8 14.0" Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Laptop 81B1001GUS

Pros: Nice little computer while it worked... for two weeks.

Cons: After two weeks, stopped charging. Have sent it to Lenovo for repair. Even though it was only used for two weeks, they will not send a new unit. Note: We did not turn the computer on until 5 weeks after ordering the computer, so could not return it to Newegg under their 30-day return policy. It only has 2 USB ports

Overall Review: I purchased another Lenovo 330 with a 15" screen at the same time. It is running fine for the 3 weeks I've used it. Hopefully it won't die like this one.
