Nice clicking keyboard
on January 21, 2026
Posted by: KKCNIck
The typing experience on this keyboard is noticeably smoother and quieter than what I’m used to, while still keeping a clean, satisfying click. Key presses feel controlled and consistent with no harsh bottoming out of the keys, which makes long gaming or typing sessions much more comfortable. The sound profile is refined instead of loud or hollow, hitting a nice balance between feedback and noise.
The ability to swap key caps and switches on the fly is a great feature that adds flexibility without needing to turn off the computer to change keys. I just have not found a reason where I needed to change in a hot swap manner. The programmable button near the scroll wheel is another unique feature. Being able to customize it for volume, brightness, media controls, or anything else you want ends up being more useful than expected for everyday use.
I found this to be extremely comfortable and very consistent when playing Fortnite, Forza and Flight Simulator. The keys allowed me fast reactions, and nothing seemed delayed. Also the coating on the keys was nice and soft but after 30 or more minutes of gaming they can become slippery if your hands get a little sweaty which was my experience.
Armoury Crate ties everything together well. The software feels smooth and responsive, making it easy to remap keys, create profiles, and tweak RGB lighting without digging through confusing menus. Changes apply quickly and make customizing the keyboard feel effortless.
There are a couple of small downsides. The lack of RGB lighting for the secondary functions on the number and F keys makes them harder to see in low light and feels like a missed opportunity on an otherwise complete keyboard. The wrist rest is soft and comfortable, but the material seems like it will collect dust easily. Overall, though, it’s a well rounded keyboard that balances comfort, customization, and performance effectively.

Excellent all-day earbuds
on January 5, 2026
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing these earbuds felt very premium. Just the packaging and presentation made the experience more fun. Included were the earbuds, locking attachments and the charging cable. More importantly they were in a nice metal case which has wireless charging and just feels well built.
Use:
When I put them on at first, they felt weird like something was not on all the way. However, when I paired them to my phone which was smooth and they were great. The sound was good. When I loaded the Shokz app it allowed me to mix the sound profile and enable more transparency. It was nice to be able to adjust to how much outside noise I could hear vs the music. I went for several runs with these, and it was just the right amount of ambient noise to music for me to hear my surroundings. I did not feel like they slipped or fell off when running. I did, however, feel like there was too much outside noise when I went on a few bike rides. I did try the included locking pieces that would help them stay in your ear better, but I did not feel they were necessary and they felt odd when on. However, when I installed the Shokz app. That was when I was able to adjust the sound profile.
Batter life:
I found the battery life excellent. I was able to get 6 workouts in and 2 long Teams meetings with them and still they did not die. I know I could have plugged them into the case if needed. Also, I like the fact that the case works with my existing wireless charging pad.
I think these are great for workouts or using these for work since you can still hear around you but there is not a need to take them off because they are uncomfortable. I really think the only con is if you need to cancel the ambient noise then these are not for you. For example, I would not use these on a flight.

Affordable Doorbell with good video.
on November 27, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
The unboxing was very easy and they included all the hardware in labeled pouches. The provided quick start guide started with me downloading the new Ring Aware app. Then I was prompted to create an account. Simple process. Then I scanned the QR code of the doorbell and it prompted me through the setup. It started with the type of wiring to the transformer needed. Then I connected the provided door chime. Finally, I installed the angled wall plate. Then the Doorbell connected. The final screw that locks the doorbell to the plate required some force when screwing to get it to tighten properly. Also, the angled bracket sits lower than the doorbell so doesn’t look as clean on the front of my house as the previous doorbell I had. Once powered on I was able to go in and set up the sensitivity to when it records and what it alerts me on. You are provided with vehicles, person, package and other. This allows me to get what notifications I want. Also, it allows you to enable AI to get a single clip. The doorbell placement does show more of my house than my previous doorbell but that is how it installs and the viewing angle of the camera. The quality is really good during the day and at night. I like it when you want to look at the clips they are user friendly, and you can download and share them easily. Also adding the family was simple. Finally, what makes this a really good option is the $60 year option which is affordable compared to others on the market.

The Shark IQ Robot Vacuum RV2402WS is a whole-home cleaning machine with powerful suction, sonic mopping, and cleaning customization. Sonic Mopping scrubs hard floors 100x per minute to remove stuck-on stains with ease. With Precision Home Mapping, the robot uses its 360~ LiDAR vision to scan your home and build a detailed map, enabling fully autonomous movement. This also allows your robotic vacuum to detect and avoid objects in its path day or night. The multi-surface brushroll pulls trapped debris, dust, and pet hair from carpets and hardwood floors. Forget about vacuuming with the self-empty base that holds up to 30 days of dirt and debris. With Matrix Clean, the robot cleans using a precision grid taking multiple passes over dirt and debris, leaving no spots missed. It creates a precise home map in the SharkClean app so you can select specific areas to clean on demand, initiate Matrix Clean, and set cleaning schedules from anywhere.

Easy to use as robot vacuum.
on November 27, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was pretty simple. Removed the vacuum, mop pad and dock. There was also some packing tape but not that much. Setup time was about 20 min. Once together I downloaded the Shark Clean app. I set up an account and with the instructions provided it was easy to pair the vacuum to the app. The first step was to name it. There were suggestions like “Clean Latifah”. First step was to map the home. This took about 2 hours.
Then after the map was complete. I labeled the rooms, and it prompted me to add Alexa skills, but I skipped that since I do not use Alexa. Next step it prompted me to add the mop pad and fill the reservoir with water. Then run the mop cycle. During this setup it did prompt me to mark areas to skip like for rugs or other areas I did not want it to run. This ran for a few hours while I was at work. When I returned it said it was out of water. When I added more the cycle was complete, so I started it again. After a few days of that I finally sent it on missions to different rooms. The rooms looked clean after. The mop pad did have some dirt on it so I know it was working. I just wish that when it needed water it allowed you to finish the cycle. Then I switched it to Vacuum, and it took 6 hours while I was at work and vacuumed the whole home. There is a container in the dock you can remove to dump the debris in the garbage which is nice. Also, there is a filter that is removing I am assuming allergens. The map after a cycle shows where it is cleaned like a heat map which is useful. I like the Shark vacuum/mop function, but I wish that there was less manual intervention for this price point since it is less functional to run while at work if I need to be home to change parts and fill water. They also included an additional mop pad which is nice so I can wash the current one while still cleaning with the other. I did not find it getting stuck anywhere and the consistency of cleaning was good. The app is user friendly, and you can set schedules as needed. Also, it is nice that you can place it somewhere and run a spot clean to clean just an area of the home vs the entire room. I would recommend this if someone wanted mostly vacuuming and the occasional mop or just mopping a room.

Nice stand but could use more color choices.
on November 19, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
I must say that Casetify does an excellent job at packaging, and it feels like your opening a premium product when you’re opening the box.
I thought it was going to be too thick and get caught in my pocket, but it hasn't. I do still think it’s a bit too thick but at least it doesn't get caught. The magnets are just strong enough to make removing it easy but not too easy so that it'll fall off. The stand is sturdy, but it would be nice to have more range of lean. It’s comfortable enough in the fingers when holding it, albeit a little awkward if it's not twisted the right way. Speaking of, when changing the direction of the stand, it’s a bit hard to do when it's collapsed and feels like it could tear when it’s open. It hasn't yet and that's one of my big fidgeting things, but it just feels a little weak. I wish maybe in a version 2 that it had a way to spin so there as a fidget value to the stand. Also, the lack of colors makes it seem plain. I feel like the white will get dirty over time. If there where complimentary colors to the phone colors that would be really neat. Overall, it’s a nice grip stand and if you're ok with those few cons then I do recommend it.

Nice pattern on the back of case.
on November 18, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing and installation were fairly simple. I removed the well packaged box. I like for proof of authenticity there is a Casetify sticker that needs to be removed. Installing the phone was pretty easy. It was a little tight, but I got the phone in. The feeling is a little smooth and pretty thin compared to my other case. It really reduces the phone footprint and makes it feel a little smaller than usual. I like the cool dragon pattern on the back. You can feel the texture, and it feels like quality. You can see through the back, but it is a smoked clear, so the color is muted. The screen lip is about the standard 1.5mm protection so just enough to protect the phone when setting screen side down on a desk. I do feel like they were just a little short on the camera protection. It is a large rectangle, and the protection lip is shorter than other cases. Also, it is really thin so does not give me confidence that there is much protection in that area of the phone. The buttons work well and no delays when pushing say the action button. The exposed camera control is easy to access but still protects the front edge of the phone. The cut outs work well and are aligned properly. Also, my USBc cables fit fine with no issues. I feel like it would protect a drop from my pocket to the ground, but it is not a extreme drop protection case. The cons are that the magsafe works but it does not show the ring like other cases, and I am worried the magsafe mount I have will wear the dragon pattern away over time.

Great Camera system with expandability
on November 8, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
After adding the Arlo Pro 2k camera 2K security camera to my existing Arlo Pro Bundle setup, I noticed a real improvement in coverage around my home. The Pro 2k camera camera fit right in with the system, and setup was just as simple and quick as my original bundle. The 2K resolution is impressive. Images are crisp and clear, both during the day and at night. I was especially happy with how well the camera’s night vision and security light illuminated my backyard, making it easy to see details even in complete darkness. My wife also pointed out that the Pro 2k camera’s video quality is noticeably sharper than our earlier cameras.
I’m really pleased with the performance of Pro 2k camera as an add-on. The Arlo app manages all the cameras seamlessly, and I keep getting fast notifications anytime there’s motion. Adding the Pro 2k camera to my system was hassle-free, and charging the battery through the two-battery station is super convenient. Swapping batteries is simple and doesn’t interrupt the camera feed, which works perfectly for our setup with limited outlets.
It’s a nice touch that Arlo includes a security sticker and yard sign with the bundle. I think having those visible helps deter unwanted visitors. When I first connected the Pro 2k camera, the battery wasn’t fully charged, but once topped off, it’s been operating smoothly with the rest of the cameras. Just a heads-up: after the free month trial, you’ll need a subscription to keep saving your video clips.
Overall, I’m really satisfied with how the Arlo Pro 2k camera 2K camera looks and performs as part of my Arlo system. Even with the monthly storage fee, the features and image quality are worth it to me. The motion alerts are accurate and helpful, distinguishing between people, cars, and pets, so I’m only notified when something important actually happens.

Expensive but worth it for blue light reduction.
on November 8, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing and installation were fairly simple. I removed my current tempered glass cover. Then the included wet and dry wipe cleaned the screen. Finally, I removed all the dust I could find with the included sticker. Then with the included frame I set the cover on the phone. Then pressed from the middle across the top to the bottom of the phone. Then pressed outward to the sides to remove any bubbles. Finally removed the frame and it was installed. I put it in the case and I was moving.
As far as use. I found the screen just as clear as the uncovered screen. The touch input is very responsive. When using it during the day I could not notice it was there. I do see the same amount of glare as when the uncovered screen is in use. Now when using it at night I did find the blue light was reduced. Normally I use my phone before bed, and I stay up for about an hour. After a few days I was already starting to fall asleep about 20-30 minutes in. Definitely amazing the effects this has on nighttime use. I do not feel like the colors suffer like what you enable the warm temp change like Apple tries to implement. This does it without any change to how I use the phone. Definitely worth the money.

The ultra-slim Crystal Palace Lite Snap is the perfect case to showcase your phone. Crystal clear-as the name implies~and it keeps your phone pristine and protected. Anti-yellowing properties in the case help it maintain its transparent beauty. And its lightweight, stream-lined design won~t weigh you down.

Great clear case with kickstand
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
I installed the ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap on my iPhone 17 Pro and it immediately felt very natural and comfortable in the hand. The Jet Black seems more like a smoky clear vs the typical cases. Side texture keeps the phone planted in hand, while the soft rounded corners make it easier to pocket than most rugged cases. The camera and screen get a nice raised lip that keeps them off my desk or other surfaces.
The kickstand is a nice addition. It opens with a secure snap, holds firm for landscape viewing but portrait can seem kind of wobbly if you’re touching the screen. Closed, it sits flush so it won’t snag on your pocket.
If you can live with a few fingerprints and a first‑day stiff hinge, this is a smart, durable upgrade that actually makes the phone color visible.
Pro:
* Nice protection for phone
* Good camera and display protection
* Not very big when on phone vs other cases
* Grippy texture on sides
Con:
* Somewhat slippery
* Shows fingerprints on back
* Kickstand is wobbly when in portrait view

Great if already in Arlo eco system.
on November 3, 2025
Posted by: KKCNIck
Great addition to an existing Arlo camera system since all the footage is on one app. The setup was easy in that I just plugged in and added the camera to my existing system. I just set it on the dresser in my son’s room. It was nice to look in on him, and it sent me a notification to see if he cried, which was good when I was downstairs at night. I did move it to our living room to see how good it was watching the dogs. When they barked, I got a notification but since they bark whenever someone is near the house outside. I received multiple notifications, and it was more distracting than helpful. The two-way audio is ok but the audio is not that loud so I do not feel like my dogs could hear me as they did not respond. The video was very clear and at night the night vision was decent. I had hardly any delay when looking at live footage. The only issues I had were the fact that you needed to set it on something and the audio was low in sound compared to others. For the money it is worth it. I do like the privacy shield however I did not find us using it since either I feel you’re ok or not with an indoor camera or not. I did not feel like there was a need to turn it off when we were at home. Also, it would be nice if there was a way to make the color blend more with our decor like different skins so this could be more subtle.

Best Iphone Yet
By KKCNIck from montgomery, il
It is a huge step up from the original IPhone. Each Year they get better and better. This year finally the most needed thing (larger Display). I only wish the 2 features in the plus were in this and it would have been perfect. Full 1080p display and the optical Image Stabilization. The Plus is nice but its practically a tablet and really should have been able to have those features in both. Otherwise very happy with the upgrade.

How do I pick a new laptop?

Well any laptop will do that. It is a matter of hard drive space. I would look at the Toshiba A305-6916 if you can find one because they are priced right and have great speakers for playback. Also has a 320gb hd which is pleanty of room.

Yeah I just saw one for $999 and it has p7450 processor and a 1gb nvidia gt260 card. It also comes with a free upgrade to windows 7 when released. I would find the G50vt that they are clearancing if you can because there is not much difference and you will save money.
