Solid entry level mechanical keyboard

Rosewill RK-9000BR - Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switches
Rosewill RK-9000BR - Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switches

Pros: Got this when it was on a deep discount with a gift card rebate kicker and couldn't be more satisfied. It's heavy, which might not sound important, but it helps keep it stable during typefests. Naturally it's accurate with your keystrokes and records them all. Make sure you like Brown switches and know what you're getting into, but this keyboard has served me well so far with some light gaming and report writeups. If you want an entry-level mechanical keyboard, this is it.

Cons: Only actual con: no included key puller. It's hard to say these others are "cons" they're just features which aren't present (and you consequently don't have to pay for). -No media buttons -No extra USB ports -No Windows key deactivation -No advanced algorithm to detect snarky emails and respond in kind

Overall Review: I haven't noticed the connector as being weak or flimsy, but I can't say I've touched it since I set up the keyboard. This would be a good weapon if they made another modern version of Clue. Also, I think another reviewer mentioned it but if you look into the Num/Caps/Scroll Lock LEDs from directly overhead it's going to burn more than the sun and Eye of Sauron combined. I don't know why you wouldn't be at an angle of approximately 45-80 degrees to the keyboard instead of 90, but don't do it.

had to RMA

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

Pros: The good stick worked fine.

Cons: But the other stick needed an RMA, the mobo was giving RAM errors no matter what combination of seating used with the bad stick in.

Overall Review: Not the most expensive product on the market but I still hope things work when they arrive so RMA -2 eggs.

Exactly what I needed, fits and charges well

2-Pack USB-C Type C to DC Tip 4.0*1.35mm PD Charger Cable Power Cable Cord For Asus Zenbook Vivobook laptops

Pros: Fits the input (tried some others that didn't) Charges as fast as the first-party wall plug Feels fairly decent quality, I'm not worried about it splitting or anything with regular use

Cons: Not quite as snug as the first party charger Would appreciate an extra 12" of length or so

Overall Review: If you want to charge the right ASUS computer with a much smaller brick and it doesn't support USB-C charging, this is the way to go!

Great upgrade

Pros: Putting the OS and core programs unsurprisingly cuts bootup time drastically. From pressing the power button to a fully loaded desktop in ~25 seconds, including login time.

Cons: None to mention, I guess it's only 64gb but if you need bigger buy bigger!

Overall Review: Smaller form factor than traditional 3.5" HDD may mean you need a piece of plastic and/or a creative rubber-band job. On the flip side fits in many laptops!
