Just what I needed!

Pros: I needed a cheap gig switch to power my home theater setup. With an HTPC and three consoles and a TV that all could use internet, this thing was a godsend. I have this hooked up to my router, and then each device is plugged in. I'm getting no loss and it is perfect for sitting on my entertainment center behind the center speaker. The lights are dim enough where you don't see shadows of blinking while watching a movie. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a very cheap solution with very high performance.
Cons: I have not found any in the three months I've used it. I will say that I've recommended TP-LINK to others who have had some issues with failure over 12 months. Only time will tell with this product.
Overall Review: Transfer speeds on this are equal to transfer speeds between systems connected directly to the router. Full 8gb file transferred at 110-120MB/s, that's impressive. I've had gig routers that don't perform up to that. This thing is definitely the real deal.
Key Failure after 30 minutes

Pros: The keyboard is wonderful. The keys are awesome to type on and it weighs a ton! I'd assume that this thing is built to last based on everything I saw in the short period of time I used it. Key responsiveness was amazing.
Cons: A couple of the keys were weird right out of the box. The backspace is hard to depress because of the angle at which you strike the key. The right shift button was the same way, but the left shift button was fine. I bought this for Starcraft 2. I find myself missing the high key height of my old Logitech (moved to a lower profile keyboard), so I decided to buy this. After 3 minutes of SC2, the number four key depressed and stayed down. I could pick it back up, but it would not spring back up if I depressed it again. The key worked out of the box, and it worked great at the start of the game (the #4 is a common control group for me). For me, this is an issue with quality control. Something happened in build that put this key defective. I'm severely disappointed in Razer's continuous lack of quality products, based on my experience with them.
Overall Review: I rated this as a 2 star because I hate one star "DOA" or "it broke really quickly". However, I've owned four Razer Products in 6 years. A Diamondback that worked OK. A deathadder that is amazing- I wouldn't trade it for anything. A Mamba that was the biggest hunk of junk ever and now the BlackWidow, which failed after about 30 minutes of use. There's just something to say about the track record. I guess I'll stick with Logitech, their products have been rock solid for me for many, many years with zero failures.
Crummy Materials, Poor Sound

Pros: The fit was fantastic. I enjoyed how it fit around my head. It was light weight and the form factor is low enough where it doesn't really feel obtrusive. The detachable cords were a great touch. I loved that I could choose between the cord that worked for my setup. I ended up using the coiled cord and was pleasantly surprised at how much it cleaned up my desk!
Cons: I used this with a Yamaha MX10XU mixer. I came from a fifty dollar HyperX headset. I wanted an upgrade in sound. What I got was not an upgrade. **Visual** -Build quality is of question. The product photo shows a deep red color with a shiny golden ring. What I received was a toy-red plastic with a shiny yellow ring around the middle. It looked like a toy, not a studio headphone warranting the "Red Limited Edition" badge and additional cost. **Sound** -At low to moderate volumes, I found that the headphones did well. I loved the highs and mids but was immediately let down by the lack of lows. Being a gamer and audiophile, I demand a lot from my headphones and this missed the mark on the low end. I like to feel a rumble of explosions in my ears and these did not supply that. -When I really want to jam out, I turn up my mixer volume and let the music take me places. When I did that with these, the volume distorts, cracks and eeks out of range of these headphones. The fifty dollar headset I came from handled sound better all around at higher levels.
Overall Review: Overall, I can not recommend these headphones for the price point. They're just not worth it.
Finally, earbuds worth buying!

Pros: These earbuds are by far some of the best sounding, all-around earbuds I've had. I use them exclusively for gaming and a bit of pandora in the background. Once they are fitted in to your ear properly, the balance of bass and highs are exquisite. Games sound crisp, you can locate your enemies and they're comfortable for hours and hours of gameplay. I've had these suckers in for as much as 12 hours and my ears are no worse for the wear. I've never been able to say that with a regular headset. When they are properly fitted in they do silence external noise quite a bit. Don't expect to be able to hear folks with sound coming out of these things. I think the green color of the cord is a nice touch. Razer always seems to really go the extra mile to make sure they visibly make their products stick out. These earbuds are no exception.
Cons: The mic on these things is adequate. It isn't anything spectacular, but folks on the other end can hear me, so I suppose that's good enough. If you're picky about being super crystal clear, then you'll have to figure out something else. For me, they're good enough!
Overall Review: Like any razer product, these are simply overpriced. These were cheaper when I bought them. If the price was as much as it is at the time of this writing, I probably wouldn't have bought them. Knowing what I know now? I'd reluctantly say they're worth it. These are super nice headphones, but look out for sales before investing.
Tremendous Value!

Pros: Form factor, just 3/4 of an inch! Lightweight The keyboard is tremendous! VERY well built- no flexing when picking it up by the palm rest The display panel is, in one word: INSANE I can't talk enough about how amazing this display is. I say this even with the frustrating experience that is Windows and applications not scaling well for anything over 1080p resolutions. Be prepared to squint at times to read. Performance of the 870m is mind-boggling for the form factor of this laptop. I cranked up Titanfall to max settings on this thing's native resolution and it didn't even seem like it was working hard! Noise pollution is minimal, much less than I thought it would be while gaming. Battery life comes in at just over 3 hours- WOW.
Cons: It's not perfect, but it's "5 star" great. The default trackpad settings invoke the windows 8 "charm" menu whenever you get remotely close to the right side of the touch pad. Turned that off after finally finding it in the mouse settings in the control panel. The power management software MSI loads won't allow windows to use anything other than "balanced" for a power scheme after a reboot. I removed the software so I could load my own power profile. The display auto-bright and dimming had to be turned off both through the Windows Power profile AND in the power settings for the intel display drivers so that the display wouldn't brighten/dim during use when on the battery. The keyboard *feels* amazing when typing, but the coloring is gimmicky at best. I've been disappointed with the LED discriminating between different colors in the same spectrum (yellow and orange look the same).
Overall Review: I've used this for a decent amount of gaming as well as "normal" laptop usage and this laptop has delivered in every way. I'm finnicky about a lot of things with respect to my cons, so I didn't dock any eggs because of it. There's absolutely no question in my mind that this laptop is worth every penny. Some might think that the laptop is over-priced, but a comparable desktop WITH a display that does 3k resolutions will cost you about the same amount. The only disadvantage is that with a laptop, we're stuck with what we've got. Super impressed with this, finally happy to be able to game anywhere. I'm really happy I didn't go with the 17" model of this... gosh that would have been too big of a laptop. This 15" model is plenty large!
4 Year Review

Pros: Every single 200mm fan in my HAF 922 has performed flawlessly for over four years. Most fans I've had in computers start to die after a couple of years. I am pleased to say that these things not only stand the test of time, but they cool exceptionally well. I couldn't have asked for a better case fan. Quiet, reliable and exceptional cooling. What more do you need?
Cons: Not a single one. You might argue the size, but that's where I find value the most.
Overall Review: I'm running 3 of these in my HAF 922. They aren't overly bright, they're INCREDIBLY quiet and I'll be buying another set to retire these when I build a new system in a month or two.
Great Experienced
Shipped within 48 hours and arrived in adequate time. Great experience.
