Great for the price
Pros: $48 250GB
Cons: 8MB Cache
Overall Review: I had to get this to fit it into a budget, but I would've rather gotten the 320GB 16mb cache for slightly more.
Fine Before it Died
Pros: - Feels extremely solid - Lots of customization options - On the fly DPI
Cons: - Could never really get used to it, still prefer optical mice for gaming - Died after 5 months (stuck in bottom right of screen, still recognizes clicks)
Overall Review: I'm going back to cheaper optical mice... or maybe the G9x I use at work. Seriously disappointed that Corsair of all brands is the worst mouse I've owned. Even the Mionix was polite enough to wait a year before it died, and it was the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.
Useless and TP-Link Refuses to Refund
Pros: - The Ethernet ports work most of the time. The first one (pre-RMA) dropped my Ethernet connection once when plugged into the #1 LAN port, but I plugged it into #4 and it never dropped it again. - TP-Link was prompt and cooperative during the RMA process
Cons: (This review is for the RMA with supposedly upgraded internal hardware) - The wireless goes out 1-3 times per day for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, or until somebody power-cycles the router. - TP-Link wants to replace the router again and refuses to provide a refund for an obviously faulty product that is NOT getting better. I already RMAd the router, it didn't fix it, so issue a refund. It's that simple. I'm going to make sure everyone I know and their mother knows not to buy TP-Link products from now on due to this replace-only policy.
Overall Review: Faulty product, faulty customer policy, and therefore faulty company. TP-Link is a huge failure in my experience.
Meh
Pros: Large, quiet fan that moves a lot of air.
Cons: Died 20 days after the 1 year warranty expired.
Overall Review: I purchased the Silverstone RV02B-EW in April last year. It uses three of these fans as bottom intake, which I loved. I never bothered to check the warranty... 1 year is relatively pathetic. Corsair offers 2-5 years on their cases and fans. If I didn't love this case so much I would switch to their products... as it is, I'm just going to keep buying Silverstone fans as they fail. I wish more companies offered 180mm fans though...
Excellent
Pros: I'm a gamer, and this keyboard is perfect. I primarily play FPSs, and this is a very responsive keyboard with the right features. I play the occasional RPG (not necessarily MMO) so having five macro keys is perfect. It's backlit (even though it's just red/orange and I would prefer blue, it's still a pro) to a custom level. The price is amazing for the build quality as well. It feels solid, and the anti-ghosting is a must.
Cons: I have to adjust my instinctual position for the escape key. I keep hitting the profile switch button instead, but I'm slowly correcting myself. Not a huge con, so not worth taking an egg off.
Overall Review: I went from a Saitek Eclipse to this. The comfort level and build quality are the two biggest improvements... and the Eclipse was pretty comfortable.
Awesome!
Pros: Cheap Solid Easy to install
Cons: No tilt Not-so-great built-in level
Overall Review: For $20, this was a no-brainer. It installs and moves around easily. You have to get the height right, and REALLY pay attention to the level. I had to re-drill once because it wasn't level, but the price re-earned the 1 egg I would've taken off for it.
