No USB Receiver

Logitech Recertified 910-001822 M510 Gray Wireless Laser-Grade Optical Mouse
Logitech Recertified 910-001822 M510 Gray Wireless Laser-Grade Optical Mouse

Pros: Nice Mouse. We have several in our office and like them.

Cons: Nothing against the mouse but it's pretty much useless without a receiver. I ordered 2 with this order. One had a receiver inside but the other one didn't. Since it's refurbished there are no returns allowed.

Overall Review: For $12 there's not much to lose. So far I bought five of these. So if one in five doesn't have a receiver, that's an 80% success rate. Thus, 4 eggs.

Most Critical Review

Only works half the time

Pros: Nice way to use older PS2 Keyboards if it would work.

Cons: Doesn't work all the time.

Overall Review: Be prepared to restart your computer several times a day.

Good for the money

Pros: Cheap. Works like it's supposed to.

Cons: Has a cheap feel, but for $5.28 not a bad deal.

Doesn't work with laptop power cord.

Pros: It's supposed to work.

Cons: But I have no power cord to find out if it does work. The standard laptop power cord doesn't deliver enough Amps to power the thing.

Overall Review: Don't buy it unless you have a power cord that will power the thing.

Buy cheap--get cheap.

Mount-It! Dual Monitor Mount Desk Stand | 27" Max Screen Size | C-Clamp and Grommet Base
Mount-It! Dual Monitor Mount Desk Stand | 27" Max Screen Size | C-Clamp and Grommet Base

Pros: Holds 2 monitors.

Cons: Cannot adjust each monitor independently. To adjust, you need to fiddle with screws and notches. Takes up lots of space--the monitors will mount no closer than a foot from the back of your desk.

Overall Review: If you're a cheap skate and don't mind the extra bulk and space it takes up, this may be for you.

Pros: Adjustable height, tilt, swivel. Clear, crisp display. Good-looking.

Cons: Not vesa mountable.

Overall Review: Don't get this monitor if you want to mount it on an adjustable arm.
