Pros: comes with a compact ac adapter, the hub works as a usb charger with just the ac adapter plugged in.
Cons: no light indicating that the power is connected, shiny surface collects fingerprints, doesn't include a carrying case.
Overall Review: I have connected my cooling pad, mouse, keyboard, cellphone, mp3 player, and my 3.5 inch external hard drive all at the same time with no problems. My hard drive also has no noticeable lag when transferring large files through the hub.
Pros: USB 3.0 Interface, Nicely Weighted Stand, Improved Signal strength from AC53.
Cons: Documentation not very clear, not sure how to use the external antenna (see below)
Overall Review: I was using the USB-AC53 adapter with the AC-56U router, after upgrading to the USB-AC56 my signal strength went from -54 dbm to -45 dbm, however I am not sure how the external antenna works because my signal strength and data rate with or without the antenna seems to be the same and the documentation on the CD does not explain anything about using the antenna.
Pros: -Looks cool -Scissor structure so the keyboard feels like a laptop keyboard -No gigantic scratch prone glossy surfaces -Relatively inexpensive -Slim
Cons: -Is the LED indicating the power, really necessary ? -arrows keys are a bit small -Backspace key a little too small -Home, pgup pgdn and end keys are used by pressing Fn and one of the arrow keys (doesn't really bother me though)
Overall Review: I purchased this to replace my black i-rocks kr-6170 (that I broke) which no one seems to stock. Overall this keyboard is just as good as that one.
Pros: -Easy to install -Looks cool -If your computer is connected to a wired internet the Wireless Access Point software allows your computer to become a basic router that can share the wired connection with other computers
Cons: -Access Point software only seems compatible with my XP virtual mode.
Overall Review: Drivers on CD didn't seem to work but, All I had to do was go to device manager (windows 7 64 bit) and press update drivers and everything worked from then on.
Pros: -Compact -Metal Backing -Cheap -Stylish
Cons: -Not a scissor structure type of keyboard
Overall Review: Good cheap keyboard, I don't know what the other reviewers were expecting from a 10-20 dollar keyboard. If you want a more tactile keyboard you should get a slim keyboard with scissor structure keys which this is not.
Pros: -supports large graphics cards -supports frontal 80mm fan (look carefully for the holes) -Just enough space (maybe 5mm of clearance)to support a 90mm side fan and semi large cpu cooler (freezer pro, nh-u9b)
Cons: -style might be a little plain. -the other side of the case cannot be opened
Overall Review: -remember to get a 90 degree connector for your harddrive
