My favorite stick

Pros: Great lightweight stick that I have been using for over 20 years. Great for set playing or light concert work. Hickory version was stout and the Maple is ok as well. I used them for recording and live playing alike and love they are fast and a smooth non-abrasive sound with the rounded barrel tip.
Cons: Wont last as long as some thicker beefier sticks. You can go through them quickly if you play hard.
Driver software provided is a trial

Pros: Small and hardware seems reliable
Cons: Does not come with full drivers. Third party Bluesoliel driver software is a TRIAL ONLY. Its $27 to buy the software after the fact. Bluesoliel drivers are good and work well but, it either should be provided as part of the purchase or an upgrade that is optional instead of default.
Overall Review: It should not cost you more after buying a product to be able to use it out of the box.
Generic chipset

Pros: Lightweight and solid case.
Cons: USB driver is a pl-2303 chipset. Very generic and does not have its own pid/vid because it's sing a serial to USB chipset. Very basic.
Overall Review: May work but driver is flaky.
Color is not quite warm

Pros: Tried this out hoping it would replace an incandescent bulb in a hanging light fixture. It is lower power and bright and it does not get too hot either. Over price is a good value compared to current competing products.
Cons: The color is not what they claim. Warm WHITE is probably more around 4k than 3k which is the main draw back to any LED fixtures at the moment. This bulb is still cooler than most CFL's which are cooler than incandescent in contrast.
Overall Review: If you don't mind having a cooler color, than this is worth getting, if you want true warm color than probably not.
OK. But by no means robust

Pros: Relatively good performance. Rubber overmoulded shell case is nicer than most other housings.
Cons: Speeds are not quite as high as advertised in most cases. Not really water resistant, I would say the product is IP42 at best.
Overall Review: This product is better than most USB flash drives, but the casing while neat is not as robust as you might think. The rubber overmoulded cover goes over a clamshell plastic case that houses the PCB. The PCB is not even conformal coated which I would of expected from a water resistant product. But then again, for the price its expected I suppose. I just wish it was either encapsulated or protected from water to some extent.
Nice mini

Pros: Small compact keyboard. Lightweight and not as cheaply built as other brands. Clean look and feel with a quality USB connector.
Cons: Typing layout is a little off but not unusable. Delete key is in the wrong place and should of been swapped with the pause break key. Keys have light switch activation so it feels a bit less robust.
Wrong item, lousy service.
Shipped the wrong item, when trying to return the item they were slow to respond and would not provide a shipping label for the return. I believe they shipped the wrong item on purpose to provide a "free" upgrade but that was not what I needed.
