Console-quality control

Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows

Pros: Tight controls, responsive buttons, comfortable analog sticks

Cons: No auto shut-off feature

Overall Review: If you're looking for the console gaming experience on your PC, look no further. Setup takes seconds & the controls feel exactly as they do on the 360. The only complaint I have is that the controller doesn't automatically shut itself off when you turn off your PC. There's no "off" button either. Instead you have to remove the battery compartment, but it's not too much of a hassle & shouldn't be a deterrent from buying this gamepad.

Most Critical Review

Bad product, bad support

ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support
ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support

Pros: One of the few cost effective PCI-E wireless network adapters available on NewEgg

Cons: Extremely slow connection Slows down Internet connection for every other device on my home wireless network!

Overall Review: See cons. I contacted ASUS support after doing surface level troubleshooting (e.g. install latest drivers, update firmware of router, etc.). Support simply advised me to return the card for an exchange. I was hoping to be connected to a level 2 or 3 support rep to look into things more in-depth. Very disappointed. I now have a brand new Steambox that can't download any games.

On Networks N300MA N300 Wireless Micro Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Small form factor

Cons: Slow, spotty connectivity

Overall Review: I bought this product due to the relatively low price compared to other USB network adapters. I regret it very much. The connection speed I experienced reminded me of the 56K modem days. That's when it worked. A few times, I had to disable & re-enable it in the control panel before it would connect to my LAN. I eventually replaced it with a Belkin USB adapter, and all my problems went away.

Lots of storage but only FAT

Pros: Lots of storage for a relatively low cost. Performance is pretty quick. It's also tiny & will easily fit on your keychain

Cons: I wasn't able to format it with an NTFS file system. I would have liked to use EFS to encrypt a portion of my data. I'm using a password-protected ZIP instead... Not nearly as elegant. My only other complaint is that it didn't ship with a metal ring on the end that would have made it much easier to attach to a keychain. I had to hunt one down myself.

Item advertised as new. Sold as loose

I purchased an SD Card from this seller. There was no indication in the item description that it was not factory-sealed. This wouldn't have bothered me as much if the card hadn't been very difficult to format when I first got it. Seemed very, very used.
