Pros: Perfect, exactly as advertised. Good length, solid construction. I bought three of these to use as the USB cable on a Nintendo game controller flash drive mod I was doing. Using this to replace the original cable from the controller - looks exactly the same save the USB connector. Not much more to say - it's an extension cable! :) Will purchase more of these in the future should I need them.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: The Nintendo flash drive controllers turned out great. :)
Sporadic Jumpiness
Pros: The mouse actually looks quite nice. Decent construction, very smooth, and the rotating light scheme looks pretty cool. When functioning correctly, the movement is smooth. Good for an 800 dpi mouse. The retractable cable was nice, makes it good for travel.
Cons: It jumps around, no matter what surface we put it on. The movement is smooth, but it suddenly jumps across the screen at random. Pretty annoying. It's useable, but you wouldn't WANT to use it.
Overall Review: I bought this for my fiance's new computer, and based on the price I kind of expected going in that the actual practicality of it probably wouldn't be that great. It didn't throw me any surprises - you get what you pay for. Giving it two eggs because it looks nice, and is smooth when it does work, but if it doesn't function correctly it's basically a paperweight.
Pros: - VERY Durable - Very Responsive/Controls Well* - Decent Play Time This is a great Heli, especially for the price. Controls are easy to learn and get a feel for, and it's quite responsive. It is also very durable, and will take just about any abuse you can throw at it from crashing into things or those hard landings. Puts out a lot of air, which just adds to the coolness of it. As a piece of advice.. if you have a lady in the house with long hair, make you sure take a look at the rotors every once in awhile. It WILL have hair wrapped around them.
Cons: * Very responsive/controls well, *IF* you are indoors. I took it outside during the day and suddenly the controls turned to molasses. I suspect that had to do with the type of transmitter the controls use (Infrared).
Overall Review: Great item, well worth the money. Really great for kids as it can take a beating.
Pros: Great product. Looks very sleek, very nice. Well constructed, and the keys have a nice feel to them. It's comfortable to use. Does what it needs to. Was almost tempted to replace my older gaming keyboard with this. Almost.
Cons: None that I can see so far.
Overall Review: For a standard keyboard, you're probably not going to get much better than this.
Pros: Great device! Does everything it advertises, and is very easy to understand/use. I had an old laptop HD I wanted to scavenge the data off of, and this worked perfectly. Would be great for anyone, but especially for the techies/technicians out there.
Cons: None that I have come across.
Great Item
Pros: I bought the black version (which Newegg is currently out of, and has been for two months. I had to buy from somewhere else!), and stuck it in an Antec 902 case. Looks fantastic. It's made from steel! You won't be breaking it any time soon. The switches look great, and function/click nicely. Comes with nice, long cables to connect the fans (a note about the fan connectors in the cons), and comes with a 4pin molex extender to help you hide the cable behind the motherboard if you choose. Blue/Red LEDs are nice and bright. Overall, great product - and difficult to find! (they seem to be pretty popular)
Cons: After installing it, I notice there are slight gaps at the top and bottom. It's pretty thin, but you can see through it which may bother some people. I could -almost- fit a dime through the space, but not quite. It wasn't a problem with my case, as all of my other 5.25 devices fit fine/have no spacing issues. I also took the controller out and re-seated it just to be sure. Fan Connections - If you intend to connect 4pin fans to this device, you will need an adapter as the connectors on the controller are 3pin.
Overall Review: As stated in the pros above... the LEDs on this are bright! I was fine with it, because they look quite nice. However, for some people this may be a con if you don't like extremely bright lights on the front of your case. I have an Antec 902 case filled with blue LEDs, and the LEDs on this are the brightest ones in the case.
