Pros: *Price, of course. *Battery life averaging 9+ hours with web-surfing and lowest brightness setting. *tiny, light, portable. Not too much bloatware.

Cons: *Boot up is going to take a little while. *Windows 7 starter won't let you change the wallpaper (without 3rd party software). Besides that, it is not at all the limited operating system I thought it would be. *Speakers are really cheap, use headphones.

Overall Review: Seen one, seen 'em all. It looks like all these latest netbooks - production 01/10 on - all come from the same family of factories in China. Other than minute differences in software and keyboard layouts, all these things are identical. Asus, HP, Gateway, etc... All the same hardware.

Pros: Star Trek themed. Space PvE and PvP are pretty fun at first. The disk makes for an impeccable coaster.

Cons: Extremely repetitive. Extremely buggy, even after the 6+ patches which were all over 200MB. Lag is also a very serious issue with this game. Star Trek fans will be very disappointed by the absence of any real exploration and diplomatic missions. Plenty of "pew pew" and no "Hello, nice to meet you."

Overall Review: Having played it for a while, experiencing both sides - Klingon and Federation - I can honestly say that I would not have bought this game had I known how utterly horrendous it was. Star Trek Online isn't getting another month's subscription from me. The game engine used in this is archaic at best. No matter how many patches are released for STo, it is structurally impossible for it to become what I had hoped for.

Pros: * Very comfortable, I mean VERY ergonomic and well designed. * At the moment they are the closest thing you can get to a 360 controller on the PS3 without buying the wired adapter. * The buttons light up, just in case you recently suffered massive brain damage and can't remember where the triangle, square, circle and X buttons are in the middle of the night. * As soon as I picked it up I really loved everything about it, feels almost identical to an XBOX 360's controller. * Nice solid feel, light but solidly put together. No creaking when applying pressure, etc...

Cons: * Ridiculous amount of dead zone, which is uneven--more in other thoughts. * I guess Sony must have a patent on BlueTooth controller technology since you need to plug in the enclosed RF USB dongle. * You cannot turn the PS3 on by pressing the home button. * I can't get over how the embarrassing size of the dead zone (almost 1/2 and inch!) makes this beautiful design worthless! * The custom grip might feel like a cheese grater in some hands. * You will not be able to put up with the dead zone, this controller will curse you with an insurmountable handicap if you decide to buy it. * OK, so I complain about the dead zone in three bullet points, four with this one... Yes, it's that bad.

Overall Review: I never had to RMA anything from NewEgg, this will be my first. I really wanted to love this controller, I am currently playing on a DreamGear Shadow 6, which I full-heartedly recommend, if you're willing to take it apart and shave off some parts of the analog stick which rubs on internal parts... But I digress, back to this thing. The dead zone is worse when tilting the right stick to the left. Dead zone is unacceptable to begin with, but an uneven dead zone means that the flaw that crippled this piece of hardware is flawed. Think about that for a second. Nyko is coming out with a controller named "Raven" which has a 360-style analog stick placement, that will be my next buy. From NewEgg of course. Off I go to RMA this beautiful, very light paper weight just after 10 minutes with it on Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Pros: *Analog stick layout is similar to the xbox 360's controller, which makes it A LOT more precise in First person shooter games. *Nice clam shell finish keeps it nice and steady even after the palms start sweating. *Broader and thicker than the PS3's Dual Shock makes it much more comfortable in bigger hands. *Haven't experienced any lag yet! Keep your fingers crossed

Cons: *No Blue tooth connectivity. You'll have to sacrifice a usb port to use the little dangle that comes with the controller. *Noticed some manufacturing defects in the analog sticks. When rotating them, at their most outward reach, u will feel that they do not circle smoothly. *The triggers (R2, L2) Have a nice groove which allows your fingers to rest on them more firmly. In my opinion however, they are not as sensitive as they should be. You'll need to fully compress them to send any type of input.

Overall Review: Despite the controller's few listed flaws, I feel that the Shadow 6 is an overall upgrade from a Dual Shock. I know! A third party controller that's actually better than the original?? Crazy!

Pros: * Flawless response time, on par with wired mice. * Great built-in macro configuration (through software) * "on the fly" macro creation button on the mouse (never used) * 4000 DPI, if speed mixed with cocaine is your drug of choice, this setting will keep up even with you.

Cons: * The feel of the mouse is a bit awkward. You will make this thing do wheelies if you place the full weight of your palm on it. This forces you to not being able to rest your hand on the mouse itself. * The three DPI buttons AND the button dedicated for the "on the fly" macro creation cannot be customized to perform other functions through the supporting software that comes with the mouse.

Overall Review: All in all, IMO this is the best option available (so far) for a gaming/all purpose mouse. I've been through quite a few myself, everything from Logitech to Razor. Great price to performance ratio. Nice solid feel, get it.
