Most Favorable Review

Awesome flight controller

Saitek X52 Flight Control System
Saitek X52 Flight Control System

Pros: Smoothe action even after almost a year. Nicely adjustable. Had the version before it, but saitek made some nice improvements. The programable software that comes with it is nice as well.

Cons: None. Honestly I don't know of any.

Overall Review: If you program it right you won't have to use your keyboard... it just a matter of remembering what you programmed where.

Most Critical Review

Sometimes flukes happen

G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 5600 Desktop Memory Model F5-5600J2834F32GX2-TZ5RS
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 5600 Desktop Memory Model F5-5600J2834F32GX2-TZ5RS

Pros: The price point was excellent. I didn't realize the RAM chips lit up, and that was cool to see They operated great at first.

Cons: They operated flawlessly for two and a half weeks from the time of installation. Then, I received a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) where Windows mentioned a memory error. I ran the windows diagnostics, and the system licked up. I downloaded Memtest86 and ran tests. The first was with both sticks installed. Right away, I ended up with errors. The second test I ran with only one of the sticks installed. Over 4k errors, and I stopped the test. I had no failures on the third test I ran with the other stick, so one out of the two sticks failed in two and a half weeks. Hopefully, I can replace the RAM before the other one fails.

Overall Review: Maybe it was a fluke, but I won't risk it on this set. I like G.Skill, but I won't purchase their Trident model.

Awesome for its versitility and price

Pros: So far so good. Even without reading the manual (dictionary for a thing) the buttons on the front are easy to understand.

Cons: Can't think of any yet... I haven't had it long enough. Will write another review in about 6 mos.

Overall Review: I need this type of printer because I had a similar printer before it. The difference was the new printer has fax capability and a USB slot in the front which my other one didn't. I like how it seperates the blank paper from the printed paper (minniscule issue with my last one). I will have more info on it when I have had it longer.

Decent for the price

Pros: For the price its an excellent product. It fits nicely around the ears not on them. It didn't cause me any discomfort after long use (5-8 hrs) (flight sim).

Cons: It started having problems after about 5 months. I have had it for 10. The volume contorl is a neat idea but that was the first thing to have issues. It developed a loose conection internally and the left speaker was intermittant. The mic gave out around the same time.

Overall Review: If you are going to sit in front of a computer for a while and use headsets I recommend getting a keyboard that has a volume control and purchasing a seperate USB headset with mic for around 35 to 50 bucks.

Pros: A comfortable headset once you get use to the way it wraps around the back of your head. It sits nicely around the ears for short periods. The speaker themselves are just away from your to where they are barely touching.

Cons: Microphone went out too fast, I had to use the webcam microphone and that isn’t the best for gaming. For long periods it gets uncomfortable because after a while the earpieces start to slide down and rest on your ear instead of around them. The volume control device is a bad design because if it is jarred slightly the mute function is all of a sudden enabled.

Overall Review: Hind site is 20/20 had I known what I know now I would have done some research and bought a better quality headset.
