Most Favorable Review

Took a chance

Sabrent  USB-H7PS 7-port USB 2.0 Hub and Stand-Alone USB Charging Station with AC Adaptor
Sabrent USB-H7PS 7-port USB 2.0 Hub and Stand-Alone USB Charging Station with AC Adaptor

Pros: Works, smells nice. The LEDs are not super bright like most are these days, and are easily covered by some electrical tape. Ports and switches are laid out thoughtfully, so that it looks attractive and wastes a minimum of desk space (no cables sticking out from every direction)

Cons: Unless you plug in the AC adapter, the hub functions as USB 1, not USB 2. This is a minor complaint, but it wasn't very obvious. The front surface of the hub has a light up logo. Easily covered if that bothers you. The indicator lights bleed into their neighbors quite a bit.

Overall Review: The description for this product did not match the picture, but I really wanted/needed a USB hub that let me turn devices off without unplugging them (because I'm lazy and want to disable controllers/cameras/headphones easily). The device does work as pictured, each of the seven out ports has a seperate switch and LED. The LEDs stay on whether or not anything is plugged in.

Just buy an HDMI cable

Pros: More invisible than an HDMI cable

Cons: Less range than a short HDMI cable, laggier too (obviously).

Overall Review: HDMI cables don't require a USB cable for power.

Pros: The tubes are pretty flexible. Instead of fans spinning up, my computer now gurgles when I turn it on. It's a 4090.

Cons: I need to constantly forget how much it cost.

Comfortable, good sound

SIROKA-IPX6 waterproof portable mini earbuds stereo surround Hi-Fi wireless earbuds LED digital power display bluetooth headset in-ear wireless earphone
SIROKA-IPX6 waterproof portable mini earbuds stereo surround Hi-Fi wireless earbuds LED digital power display bluetooth headset in-ear wireless earphone

Pros: Good range Sounds at least as good as wired ear buds Earbuds easily and magnetically dock with charger

Cons: Volume controls on phone don't control the earbuds. Earbuds don't remember their previous volume setting after reconnecting. (Maybe that's just my ipod touch, but it works with other sets.) Charger is a little bulkier than it needs to be.

Overall Review: Original set had problems with cutting out when they weren't pointing in a specific direction relative to my phone. Seller replaced them with no issues.

It's ok

Tt eSPORTS Challenger Prime Backlit Gaming Keyboard
Tt eSPORTS Challenger Prime Backlit Gaming Keyboard

Pros: It's a functional keyboard Keys feel nice, softer than a standard logitech keyboard Colored lighting isn't displeasing or obnoxious

Cons: The round knob at the top is for brightness, not volume. Which is a dumb decision. Suffers from brightlogoitis. I don't give a bleep about their logo, will have to cover it with tape. All the media buttons are the same shape, indistinguishable by touch, and arranged in a row. No controlling itunes without a glance. Media buttons (the entire top row) is not backlit. Volume- button is to the RIGHT of Volume+ Backlight is brighter in the spaces between the keys than in the key labels themself. I'll probably paint the inside to solve this problem. The "purple" color is more pink. Seems to be adjusted wrong, because when you dim it, it becomes completely red (as red as the red color option is at the same brightness)

Overall Review: If you want a cheapish keyboard that you can see in the dark, this will do. Good for use in your media room.

Good item

APC P4WUSB 4 Outlets 1000 J Essential Surge Suppressor
APC P4WUSB 4 Outlets 1000 J Essential Surge Suppressor

Pros: Charges well, not sure of how many amps the USB ports give (so it's probably low)

Cons: Only 4 sockets, compared to the 6 socket version without USB. Seems like a silly limitation.

Overall Review: Looks much nicer than a standard USB charger, and a lot less wobbly. The sideways facing AC sockets are also very nice. I own several of this style, I like them very much.
