Excellent mouse - but not the right shape for my hands
Pros: Features are excellent. Tracking is excellent. Software doesn't require you to 'log in' all the time like Razer via the cloud. Tons of buttons laid out nicely. Adjustable height - (See cons though.)
Cons: If you have large hands and like to rest the palm of your hand on the top of the mouse - this is not the right mouse for you most likely. It sits too low to the table for my mouse positioning. It's not a knock on the device - it is built well and you can adjust the height - just not high enough for me and my mouse grip.
Overall Review: I loved the look and features and software of this mouse. The issue was my hands are really big and this mouse sits too low for how I grip the mouse. I started developing cramps after any gaming session greater than 30 minutes and after about 4 months of usage I had non stop paid in my mouse hand and wrist. I tried adjusting my chair, desk, and keyboard/mouse setup to help, but nothing worked. I started getting scared about my future as a PC gamer. Then I plugged in my old, larger mouse that sits up much higher and lets me rest my large palm in the center and I've never had an issue since. I loved this mouse, but it just didn't work for me. I'll give Cougar mice another try, after I find one that fits my hands a bit better. So if you have large hands and like the mouse to sit under your palm, this might be an issue. Claw grips or people that keep their hand elevated higher on the mouse should be ok. I can't knock the item because it is made well.
Do Not Purchase
Pros: Price?
Cons: Will make your headphones or headset or earbuds sound like they're 100 miles away. Very, very tinny sound when using this extender. While the connection is solid and it does transfer sound, the amount of fidelity lost is absolutely staggering. I cannot recommend this product.
Overall Review: Perhaps I'll try another brand. I could accept some loss of sound quality and fidelity, but the sheer hollow and tin sound achieved while using this extender is absolutely unacceptable. Buyer beware.
I love this speaker
Pros: Sounds good. Self powered. Decent enough bass for the size. Works well with bluetooth.
Cons: Lights are cheesy and not that bright - whatever it is a speaker - not a smart light.
Overall Review: I got this thing on sale. I hook it up to my phone for holiday music when the time comes. I have it in the corner of my gym and let my exercise bike connect in or my phone to play music. I can also run my DJ gear into it via audo cables and I believe this one can hook up to another, wirelessly, to create a stereo setup if you wanted. Unsure if it is still made, but I got it on sale and it was a great value and has lasted for over a year of consistent use. Very good for a home setup where you don't want to run cables and don't need rediculous bass or super clear highs. Don't think this is a legit DJ loudspeaker or a proper home stereo system. It is something you want to hook in wirelessly too and get decent music from and have it be movable with multiple inputs that vary. It's amazing for that.
It's a decent mousepad
Pros: It works.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Fits my desk area and matches my work setup. That's all I wanted.
Works for what it is.
Pros: Multiple Colors - setup is so easy with hue Looks nice in the right spot
Cons: Hard to find the right spot. Value is very low because this is not a big light, very small, just larger than a fist, and it is expensive.
Overall Review: You need to understand it will illuminate your wall in a small surface area. If you have something like that to accentuate a small area or art piece, great. If not...well then you'll have an expensive light that looks nice enough but has no home in your house.
Exceptional Working from Home Monitor with USB C
Pros: Looks sleek Picture is great No dead or stuck pixels USB C + USB C charging Multiple USB ports for peripherals
Cons: No speakers if you need them.
Overall Review: This is an excellent 24 inch working from home USB monitor. I run my laptop into it, keyboard, mouse, and webcam all into it and they all interface to my laptop while charging my laptop through a single USB C cable. Dell Monitors are top notch in my experience for productivity. While sometimes they might not be as low priced as other brands I've had so many Dell monitors at work that last and last and last, while other brands have issues or fail. I've recently tried some other brands for my personal gaming and computing work and I'm disappointed in their quality control.
Xmas Gift
First time using Newegg for something non PC related. First time using Newegg to buy from a 3rd party. It worked well and was shipped promptly. Person liked their gift.
