Best xbox controller yet!
on January 22, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this mainly because I wanted to have an easier time flying aircraft in GTA5, but have since played other games with it. Such as Super Meat Boy. As a kid I was a console lover, but since moved on to PC games, however, sometimes you just can't beat a good controller. That's what this is, probably one of the best out there. Yeah, I've tried the PS4 control too, but the XBox control just fits and feels much nicer. I've also used one of the original xbox controls and this newest one is great, I don't miss the giant battery lump that's for sure.
I did have a little trouble getting it connected to my PC through the bluetooth menus, might have saved some trouble had I just bought the USB adapter.

Screaming fast, but lacking finer details.

This monitor is a SOLID monitor, it's build quality is outstanding. It's the heaviest screen I've ever owned, virtually no flex. Not only is it beefy, but it looks slick. The mechanics of it are also very well done, it slides up and down great, tilts, and rotates very smoothly.
Picture quality is DECENT. Not the best, but its OK. If you want a screen for slower paced MMO's or Video watching... look at another monitor. If you want SPEED, for FPS's.. you've come to the right place.
180 (overclocked) frames is super smooth.
I will say however, there is a noticeable line texture. Almost like the pixels are more pronounced than another monitor. You can still see it in games, but only if you're really looking for it. Chances are, you're busy blowing holes in your enemy to even care. If you're a stickler about these details, maybe look elsewhere or wait for the technology to advance some more.
Overall its a decent screen that can keep up with the best video cards out there, but sacrificing on picture details. I gave it 3 stars because it's just too dang expensive. Wait for sales or refurbished units for a better deal.

Super light, and thin.
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: Joseph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a bit hesitant getting a macbook because of the price tag. But picked it up because my tablet broke, and the macbook was on sale.
Screen resolution is great, and clear. Keyboard in my opinion is awesome. Key presses are shallow but responsive, and quiet (perfect for taking notes in class without making too much noise.)
It's so light, I take it everywhere with me and I often forget it's on me.
The only downside is it has only one USB-C port. You'll have to buy an adapter if you want to use a standard thumb drive (although those are not too expensive if you do some searching.)

Solid Fit
on March 2, 2016
Posted by: Joseph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a minimalistic case, and I think this fits the bill. It's a clear glossy plastic that doesn't add a lot of bulk. It's pretty smooth to the touch, which is something I think is a downside. It's not as grippy as I'd like. One wrong move and it might go tumbling. Although it might survive minor tumbles, larger ones, probably not.

Awkward layout
on February 27, 2016
Posted by: Joseph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to say I'm not really a fan of the new OS layout. Little bit confusing where things are located, and how they are arranged. I've resorted to just typing in the search bar anytime I want to bring up the control panel.
Overall it's alright, I'll get used to it. After all, its really the only OS for gaming =/

What'cha expect?

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's an xbox 360 controller! If you don't know how it feels in your hand by now, well, you're probably not a gamer =P
If you have small hands, it might be slightly uncomfortable for you. But they would have to be PRETTY SMALL for that to happen. Not too heavy, not too light. I'd say just right.
Easy to install on a PC. Just install the drivers first, then plug in the dongle... turn the control on (after you install the batteries of course,) and off you go.

Bulky but felt nice.
on January 13, 2016
Posted by: Joseph
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these in hopes of finding the perfect wireless gaming headset. For the current price point, I was disappointed. It felt nice wearing it, but it was pretty loose fitting. Any quick movement, and the headset would shift off your head. The loose fit does help with prolonged usage though.
Sound quality was pretty good, easily a 8.5/10. Explosions and gunshots (in games) sounded great.
The mic according to my friends didn't sound good at all. They said I sounded like I was speaking into a tin can. Even with the adjustable positioning of the mic, I just couldn't get it close enough to my mouth to get any louder.
Overall, its not a super bad rig, but for the price, I would have expected everything to be amazing. Bad mic, and slightly too bulky for my taste was a deal breaker (for me)

Sounds great and easy setup

Verified Purchase:Yes
We got this for our 55 inch samsung smart tv and it has been working great. We are currently using the wireless setup and it's working pretty well. My only issue is, when we pause the tv show (Netflix) and resume, there is a slight delay in audio. So if you pause during a conversation, you'll end up missing part of what they say.
Otherwise it's pretty great and was a breeze to setup.
