Nice charging flashlight

FREMO Q-01 Black 3000mAh External Battery Pack Power Bank (Built-in LED Flash Light with High/Low/Strobe Modes) for iPhone 6, 6 plus, 5S, Samsung, HTC and other USB-Charged devices
FREMO Q-01 Black 3000mAh External Battery Pack Power Bank (Built-in LED Flash Light with High/Low/Strobe Modes) for iPhone 6, 6 plus, 5S, Samsung, HTC and other USB-Charged devices

Pros: Works as advertised - love it. 3 lighting modes - bright (not as bright as FUEL, but maybe that's a good thing - it might last longer), half bright, and pulsating. I got it on sale at half price, which makes it even better. Red light lights up while charging and turns off when fully charged.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: It's a fairly cheaply 'made in China' product, with one 3V rechargeable batter, but if it comes in working, it does what is supposed to do. I'm not convinced all DOAs deserve bad reviews. I know it's frustrating - I just got a painting I've ordered, with a whole through the box. It wasn't the manufacturer's fault, maybe the seller's by packaging lightly, but I'm sure the shippers have a lot to do with those DOAs.

iKross Car Dashboard Windshield Mount Holder + Wireless Bluetooth Handsfree Headset for Samsung Galaxy Axiom SCH-R830 Smart Phone And More
iKross Car Dashboard Windshield Mount Holder + Wireless Bluetooth Handsfree Headset for Samsung Galaxy Axiom SCH-R830 Smart Phone And More

Pros: holder is small, versatile, multiple uses

Cons: blue tooth unit is very large and probably first generation, will not connect to newer phones

Overall Review: The phone holder is very versatile and handy. It will hold my Galaxy 3 easily. I am also using for a dash cam. Small vibration as the car moves. Bluetooth unusable - probably if you have an older phone it might connect and the size will make you think it's 2001 again.

absolute rubbish

Barska 10x25 Waterproof Blackhawk Monocular w Carrying Case
Barska 10x25 Waterproof Blackhawk Monocular w Carrying Case

Pros: None

Cons: I highly doubt the magnification is 2X. I can see absolutely no benefit to this.

Overall Review: Save your money - this monocular is as outrageous as anything I've seen... you cannot even give it as a gift to a 2 year old.

decent

DR32 1080P HD Car Dash Camera
DR32 1080P HD Car Dash Camera

Pros: decent quality picture

Cons: no internal battery, no gps, limited settings

Overall Review: The recorded picture is quite decent - you can easily read plate numbers on cars right in front of you. If you use the suction holder which comes with it, will locate the cam very low - which makes it very visible from the outside - I use a different holder. Lack of settings and gps makes it a simple plug-and-play device, which is probably all you need. It might have an internal battery (unusable for play) - if you have it plugged out for a while, it will take a few minutes to start up.

just ok

ROCCAT ROC-12-701 ISKU Keyboard
ROCCAT ROC-12-701 ISKU Keyboard

Pros: the keys feel nicer then most keyboards, it has a better quality feel than most keyboards I've used

Cons: does not justify the high price, the lighting on the keys is more annoying that you might initially think - at least I never look down 90 degrees on the keys and at an angle the key lights get obscured.

Overall Review: I think Eric's comment hit the nail on the head - I think it's the only competent one. I only gave it two stars to offset the over-exuberance of some reviewers. I am not an avid gamer, and I haven't used any customization on the keyboard. On a purely functional aspect, I can find much cheaper keyboards that will do a similar job. On the aesthetic aspect, the lights on the keys look very nice in the picture, it's very annoying when you only see half the symbols when looking at the keyboard from an angle. Lights should have been added to the media keys as well - it couldn't have been that much more expensive. I've returned this one and bought a Microsoft X4. I strongly believe the X4 is a much better keyboard, despite the slightly louder keys.

rubbish

Syma S006 Alloy Shark 3ch RC Helicopter
Syma S006 Alloy Shark 3ch RC Helicopter

Pros: it looks nice

Cons: uncontrollable

Overall Review: dont waste your money - I wouldnt buy any product from a company that would sell a product like this. The remote has a big delay - the unit is simply uncontrollable. I had fist size models which were way better then this
