Solid option for cat6 network wiring

Pros: Wiring is sheathed in a thick protective layer. Plenty of wire for the price.

Cons: Wiring male ends with this wire is harder for me than other products I've used. I suspect it is the gage of the strands. Due to the thick protective sheath network head cover boots don't fit over this cable. So it's probably best for making female to female connections.

Overall Review: This should serve most purposes for wiring a building for network. I would try to avoid using it to make patch cables.

Most Critical Review

Decent mouse with some drawbacks.

Pros: High fidelity and sample rates.

Cons: Seems like the scroll wheel isn't working quite right. It reports scrolling while I am not scrolling it.

Overall Review: It's an ok mouse good for occasional use.

Shipped so slowly that I might as well have not ordered it.

Pros: This will make a great addition to my tech closet stuff that gathers dust.

Cons: It took over a month to arrive, by the time it did, the computer was built and I'd been using it for weeks.

Overall Review: Don't bother buying this unless your build is still in the contemplative stages and likely to be there a while.

First one was DOA, so they replaced it promptly.

Pros: The product moves heat away from the important components very effectively. There is plenty of room for growth and it has DDR5/pcie5. Everything I want in a board, and the code display on the board makes it easy to figure out what isn't working if it won't post.

Cons: The bios is an old version and you have to turn off a few settings which are on by default in order to get it to show a windows installer your m.2 drive. Odd, but I was able to work it out with some googling. Perhaps flash the bios first thing? It would be nice if the settings were roughly correct out of the box.

Overall Review: Would recommend this as a good cross between value and quality. I expect to run this board for many thousands of hours.

Decent product at a good price

Everything with the seller was good: if the product review doesn't belong here, oh well... Pros: good sound quality, comfort, mic works well Cons: personal preference really, the way they work, my voice sounds different enough to me to need getting used to. I'm adapting.
