Really nice complete security suite. It was very easy to install. Once I redeemed my key on their website I could install it right away on the device I was on at the moment (my laptop), and also it was easy to install on other devices like my desktop PC. I didn't even have to download something on a flash drive and take it there like I thought I would have, their dashboard website makes it easy to do so, all I had to do is tell it I wanted to install it on another device and I could choose to have a download link sent to my email. I just went and opened my email on my other device (desktop PC) and installed it there too. You can install it on up to 5 devices (even mobile devices) and be protected for a whole year. The app is very comprehensive. It has an antivirus, firewall, crypto mining/ransomware protection, antispam etc. I do like you can also choose to have browser integration and it will tell you if the links you are visiting are safe (puts a green checkmark on them) and warms you also of potential threats. They do also include a VPN, however its just 200mb per day with the included one, just enough I guess for safe transactions while you are on unsecure networks, like maybe buying something online or something that requires login in while on unsecure networks. If you want more bandwidth to go with it you got to pay a little extra.
What I like the most is that it does not slow down your system and I didn't notice it sucking too many resources like other programs. My PC felt the same. I do like the occasional pop ups from the app on the system tray, however it can be silenced and its smart enough to detect when you are gaming on full scree i.e. and not bother while doing so.
If you want a to secure your devices, this suite will give you protection for up to 5 ones, so offers a great value for the price. Glad I have it!

Amazing power bank. This thing is a beast, one of the best ones I have ever had. Its super compact and feels super sturdy, you can tell by the weight and feel its a quality power bank. It took a while to get it to fully charge, however the included screen is super useful and clear giving you indicators about its current capacity and also gives you indicators about each channel and how many watts they are sucking from the device. I was astonished to see how fast it charged my phone, it charged it from a 17% battery level to full in about 20 minutes! I also charged my portable gaming device super fast. I did notice that its power level gets depleted fast though. I do like that the screen will tell you an estimate of time remaining, so no more guessing like with other ones that don't give you any information. I was also surprised at how sturdy it is, I dropped it a couple of times accidentally and its still in good condition and there were not nicks or cracks. Being a portable device, it must be sturdy too, so it passed the test, albeit non intentionally! If you are looking for a compact, powerful device, that will keep you informed so you don't run out of power on your portable devices, get it!

Very nice keyboard. It came with a nice braided type C USB cable and a nice magnetic wrist rest (although is just plastic with a fake leather top, I wish this was plush and cushiony like the one that came with the old optical full size huntsman...) that helps elevate your wrist a bit for ergonomics. One of the biggest improvements is they have added some padding and better lubing. The keyboard definitely sounds better (I have the previous non 8k version and it sounds metallic and pingy). The keyboard also has two levels of adjustments on its feet, to tune it to your preferred angle. It also has 3 nice buttons (two you only press, the third one is spinning wheel you can also press), they can configured as media shortcut buttons and the wheels is by default a volume wheel and mute button (if you press it) for windows audio.
Now, they keys are Razer's 2nd gen optical analog ones, where you can adjust the actuation point and also use them as analog keys (think if a gamepad trigger, where the more you press or depress it will determine how fast your character or in a racing game i.e. your car will go, like an accelerator). Since you can tune the actuation point, you can make them super sensitive, and they are super, believe me, on the fastest setting, even a tiny touch they key will register. I like that the LED indicators on the right show you with round lights how much you are pressing or depressing a key.
Now, for full customization, it uses Razer's Synapse 4 software. Some people will hate it, some people will not. I will say, that is not enterally necessary to have it running, since the keyboard has onboard memory, you can tune your settings with it and save the profiles to the board, then close it completely and then just recall them on the go via keyboard shortcuts (fn+home, fn+pg up, etc). I just wish they gave a 3rd option of a web browser setting option like other gaming magnetic keyboards i.e.
You can setup popular gaming settings that magnetic keyboards have nowadays, like snap tap, rapid trigger, etc. Oh, I use DKS (dynamic key stroke) a lot, and didn't see it anywhere, however this keyboard does have it, its just kind of buried in the settings, but it does have it! You can also choose your polling rate, and this keyboard does have 8Khz polling rate. I really didn't feel any different with it, however if you are competitive gamer, well, any advantage you can have is welcome. To me the biggest improvement on this version is the sound and feel of the keys, that's something that to me was lacking on previous ones compared to other brands, so great job Razer! They are PBT, and the legends are good and the RGB is good enough to let you see them in the dark, without being obnoxious.
In all, I'm very happy with the improvements Razer has done to it. If you want the fastest TKL analog with rapid trigger keyboard, this is the one for you!
P.S. I hope Razer can release more form factors, like a 65% and/or 75% one (I know they also have minis, but 60% is not for me).

Really nice wireless power bank. It feel very thin and compact and sturdy. One side feels almost like brushed aluminum but I'm sure its some sort of plastic. The other side has a soft silicone covering, to avoid scratching your phone (and this is the only con about it, that silicone backing is a lint magnet!). That side also houses the magnet and its where it attaches to your magsafe device (or any other device that has some sort of magnetic wireless charging capability, I also tried it on an Android device and it worked great).
You can charge it via its type C USB port (which also serves as a charging port to your devices, fast charging). There is a small button to press and activate the LEDs that will tell you the charge level of the power bank. It can charge your devices either wirelessly via the magnet or via cable from its type C USB port. It will give my phone a complete full charge draining it almost completely. It charged my phone wirelessly even with it having a case, but mine is a very thin case, so YMMV.
If you are looking for a very compact wireless-magsafe compatible charge, this one is a very good one!

Great security cam system. It came with everything needed to mount it and the instructions were clear. They include the mounting system and also a solar panel to keep the cam charged. It was easy to setup the cam on my Wi-Fi network and the greatest thing about it, is that it does not require any subscriptions for storage, the camera has its own storage, I love this as many other brands keep recordings behind subscriptions pay walls.
They have a phone app and it is really well done. Once I added the cam to my network it got it installed (if living on the northern hemisphere, it is always recommended to try mount your solar panels facing true south at an angle for the best solar light reception). Once I mounted it, it keeps the camera charged, specially on sunny days (which are not many due being winter now) and I can see the battery levels going up. On a cloudy day, yes it goes down and doesn't charge it as good, but as long as there is a sunny day afterwards it will go back up. Being bigger than other single cams, it can draw attention, so apart from planning well were to mount it, solar wise, I also recommend you consider its footprint, maybe put it somewhere high, where no one can reach it.
The great thing is that their app offers many customizations, once of them is being able to create activity/privacy zones, that way the camera isn't wasting power recording useless events. I have it setup so it records the area I want. The lens/camera system is great, it has a fix system that catches a wide area and once it detects movement/people it can start following them with the camera that rotates, I love this. The video quality is great and it works great on low light too and has a spotlight too for color night vision.
If you are tired of static cams and you want something flexible that can move around and record from many angles, this is the camera system for you, by far its the best one I have had and remember, it records locally and doesn't require subscriptions!

Really good wireless headset. They include the headset, a removable boom mic, charge USB cable and a USB dongle (type C, but a type A adaptor is included). The headphones are mostly made of plastic, however the headband adjustment band (at least the internal part) is made of metal. The earpads are super comfy, made of leatherette, they do trap heat though after a while. Clamp force is soft and not that hard.
Sound quality is amazing, for the price these offer great bass (without over bearing the mids and treble) and offer a nice wide soundstage and, although they do not have ANC, I was surprised at the good passive noise cancelation, maybe due the leatherette ear pads making a good seal (part of the reason they trap some heat after a while). Battery life is amazing and they pair with the USB dongle super fast. These also support Bluetooth connection, although NOT simultaneous, they have a nice physical toggle switch.
Install was easy, you must plug them on your PC and then install HyperX's beta app, which at this point, its at a really "beta" stage and its very disappointing. This is the biggest con. The hardware is superb, but the app needs a lot of work, there are a lot of settings that do not work (like 12 channel audio, the RGB can't be adjusted as of December update) etc. HyperX's really needs to put more emphasis on their software/app side. So far, the state and quality of their software does not match their hardware. Also there is no phone app to tune them via Bluetooth connection to your phone.
Great wireless headset for the price, I just hope they can get the Ngenuity beta app out of beta and fully functional soon!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really nice anti tracking software. Install was very easy, I just had to create a Norton account with my email and then I redeemed my key and I chose to download the Windows app. Install was fast and it also prompted me to install a web browser extension (on my case, for Google Chrome). Extension was light and I didn't notice any issues loading my most frequented sites. The app running in the background protecting windows has a dashboard that tells me which trackers and by whom were detected and if I wanted to delete them. My biggest worry was this, I've heard horror stories about these programs heavy on resources, but to my surprise, looking at the task manager (check pic), it was very light in its footprint, very low RAM and barely any CPU usage, this is what I wanted to see. Its really good at catching trackers and telling me what it is catching and blocking. It also gives you the option to enable its email anti tracker, you can either enable or leave this disabled, I like it doesn't force anything on you, you can choose which parts of the anti tracker you want enabled or disabled. I used to use Norton utilities way in the day, I remember their nice hard drive bad sector scanner. Lately they got a bad rap from being heavy on resources, but from what I could test, at least this anti tracker app is very lightweight, so I'm keeping it. I don't like being tracked online and I value my online privacy, thanks Norton, and keep it light!

Great gaming monitor. It has the perfect size and resolution for a gaming machine. The 2560 x 1440 resolution is crisp and clear and its great as is better than 1080p and not as taxing as full 4k, easier to drive with a midrange video card. Its accessories came inside a nice carrying case (with a zipper), I used the included display port cable. The included stand is great and the foot is metal and sturdy, it was easy to put together as is fully toolless. You can adjust the height, tilt and angle (rotation, a little bit, I was not able to fully put it as vertical, as it does not clear the foot).
It has great quality and great viewing angles, and good color accuracy. Being an IPS display, I was worried about the dreaded "IPS glow", but this guy has minimum amount of it, and its contrast is great, for an IPS. It can be further improved with its dimming options on its menu (its called dynamic dimming). You can control every setting with the joystick on the back with its on screen menu, however the great thing is that you can download Asus's display widget center windows app and you can control it from your PC too, super fast to change settings, and it has tons of settings, like presets for racing, fps, etc. games, you can tweak the contrast, color temperature and more importantly its overclockable function, where you can drive it up to a 255hz refresh rate (its menu warms you may experience flicker, but I have not seen that at all, I have a Radeon 9070xt). It supports G-sync but also works with AMD's free sync no issue. It also supports HDR and does have a VESA HDR certification per windows and supports up to 644 nits of brightness per windows (official specs says HDR 400).
Gaming has been a great experience and did not see any blur or issues, its variable overdrive makes the panel respond super fast, so if you are looking for a nice 27 inch 2k monitor, with good HDR and fast hz, this is the one for you!

Amazing wheel and pedals racing set. It came with all you need to have it desk mounted. They include the wheel, which has a nice LCD screen and LED indicator lights (more on this later), a desk mount (this is my only con here, the mounting clamp is made of plastic and feels cheap and it only has one tensioning point, a long metal screw, that has again, a plastic lever), which was kind of finicky to have setup and I was scared to give it all to make it seat properly on my desk, I felt it was going to break at one point. I rather prefer regular metal clamps, but it is what it is. Once clamped on my desk you connect the wheel base with the pedals set (they nicely include 3, gas, break and clutch), then the USB cable to your PC (my case) or your PlayStation (compatible) and then on the PC you download their windows app to install its configuration software (and firmware updates).
The pedals feel great and the break one has a medium stiffness spring, which you can replace with a black one, which is stiffer, depending on your liking, this is great! The wheel itself feels great and responsive to what the car and road is telling you on racing games, this a hybrid system (belt and gear). I like the LCD screen, its really useful and not a gimmick. It can show speed, RPM, gear shifts etc. The LEDs can indicate when its time to upshift, pit stops etc. and you can configure those. The paddle shifters are metal and feel very click and responsive (they are loud though).
My only cons are the desk clamp mounting system and the wheel itself (or the back) have lots of plastic, making it feel cheaper, I would prefer more metal all around, but its a very nice starter kit for anyone getting into the racing hobby!

Nice sporty earbuds. I've been looking for ones that would wrap around my ear lobes so they don't fall off while jogging or doing other sports, these fit the bill. They come in a nice carrying case, which also serves as a charging one. They include a very short type C usb cable and a set of different sizes silicone tips. The stock ones were good for me. Both had paper stickers preventing them from making a connection with the charging case, I had to figure this out because they were not charging initially nor getting into Bluetooth pairing mode when opening the case's flap. I did not see this on the manual, but was easy to figure out. Once that was out, they made contact with the charging pins and was able to pair them with my phone, which was easy and fast. JVC does not have any app to control them, you use your phone and both have capacitive tops, one, two, three quick touches or holds controls the volume, answer and hang-up calls, media (skip track, etc.). Sound was great and they have ANC (active noise canceling) and it worked very well. The parts that wrap around my ear lobes were soft and malleable, you can tune them to your ear size. They stay put while I was running, great for anyone that does sports.
One thing you have to make sure is to bend them tight/back when putting them back to the charging/carrying case otherwise they will not fit right and wont make contact with it to get them charging.
