Keyboard Great - Mouse Not So Much
on May 11, 2024
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
5 stars for the keyboard. 1 star for the mouse. The keyboard is surprisingly heavy, not great for travel but really nice once setup and using. I did not realize the Function keys were setup like a laptop where I would need to hold Function key to access F1, F2, etc. But FN + ESC does reverse the keys, so 5 stars.
The mouse is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. Just dragging the mouse along my mousepad the buttons click. There's barely a click. The lightest tap and you're clicking.
I mostly needed a keyboard anyway. Plus, I don't think I've ever found a combo where I liked/loved both. I'm usually forced to buy separately.

Replace or upgrade your current Roku remote with Roku Voice Remote Pro. Our best remote is conveniently rechargeable, so you can save money on batteries and help keep them out of landfills. Never misplace your remote again with the lost remote finder. Plus, enjoy private listening with connected headphones (sold separately) and set personal shortcuts for one-touch control. Say ~Hey Roku~ to give hands-free voice commands and play entertainment, control your streaming, turn your TV on, and more without having to reach for the remote. You even have the choice between hands-free and push-to-talk voice controls~it~s as easy as flipping a switch. Roku Voice Remote Pro is compatible with all Roku TV brands, Roku audio devices, and most recent Roku players~some older models may not be supported.

Must have for Roku TVs, sticks, streamers
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to connect to the TCL in my office that did not come with a headphone remote. The voice remote functionality works very well, I should probably use it more, but I'm just so used to using the arrow keys. But, I love being able to watch live TV with headphones, which I do daily, and really love being able to get up and walk around, leave the room, and still hear the TV.

Great for relaxing, less for working out.
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are great for connecting to a device and listening to audio - music, tv, and movies.
But, I bought these for working out. I have to give up on in-ear headphones for working out. None of them stay in my ears, they all fall out, regardless of brand. I'll stick with my overear wireless headphones for the gym.
I love these for work, tavel, streaming on laptop, etc. The audio quality is very good and the noise cancelling is great. Make sure you download the app for your phone - you can customize the tap buttons - and I suggest reading the manual. It helps.

Great Buy at Best Buy
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
This gateway performs its job very well. I only bought this advanced gateway because I plan to upgrade my internet speed above its current 300mbs - if I were not upgrading it I would get something cheaper/less advanced. Any other issues are the fault of Comcast which forced me to upgrade my equipment for some unknown reason, then wasn't ready to provision the modem for IP6 for over a week. This gateway is new/advanced, so some of my older devices would not connect via 5G, including a smart TV and Kindle that are probably 8-10 years old. Both connected to 5G on my old gateway, but this is pretty normal when upgrading electronics - older devices become incompatible.

Great Buy
on January 30, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already had the Ghostbusters Blu-Ray that was "Mastered in 4K" which looked absolutely amazing on my 1080 tv at the time. This looks just as good, and in some areas better, on 4K tv. I would probably only recommend it if you are a huge Ghostbusters fan and/or did not buy the "mastered in 4K" blu-ray a few years back.

Great restoration

I was kind of surprised by how great this looked. Way better than the Blu-Ray from a decade ago. Universal did right with this restoration/transfer to 4K. SteelBook is always the way to go when available.

Speed 4K - 5 Stars
on January 30, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie looks really great on 4K - very fresh and clean. With 4K upgrades, the movies can look worse, the same, or better than Blu-Ray/DVD and this one looks better. Happy with the purchase and always recommend SteelBook when available, for favorite movies,
and when the artwork is good.

4K - Great Buy!
on January 30, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first 3 movies look amazing on 4K. Definitely an improvement over Blu-Ray and worth the upgrade. Highly recommend. Very glad I went with the SteelBook set. They are more sturdy and you don't have to worry about plastic breaking. I really like the new artwork for the cases too.

Excellent, Simple Case
on January 30, 2022
Posted by: jab82
Verified Purchase:Yes
The perfect "shell" case for my 14" Chromebook. I wanted something simple and light that will easily slip in and out of a messenger bag, carry-on suitcase, or backpack. It protects the outside of the Chromebook from getting scratched but would not protect it from a fall. I didn't buy it for that though. I was surprised by the quality, much higher than expected - excellent!

I am purchasing a Roku Ultra. From you so I assume I’ll need a cable to hook the unit up to my older TV I believe it’s a HIME Cable (sp) to finish the install. What accessories are absolutely needed for a no problem install?

You'll need an HDMI cable. I know 4K blu-ray players need a 4K-rated HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0). The Ultra streams 4K, but don't know if HDMI needs to be 4K. Would think so. Prices on cables are low enough that you might as well get the 4K-rated one anyway. Most are probably already rated for it.

I just purchased Ultra Streaming Media Player to get TED TALKS and there is no T TALKS icon showing on the outside of the box. How do I know it will play TED TALKS? You have said it does but how do I know? What is a cheaper device to do that?

I have a roku 2 older model in my bedroom, it works excellent. I bought a roku express for the living room and it does not work well, sometimes it does not work at all, do I need a diferent roku is there a stronger one LR is about 35 ft from a arris route

The Ultra supports WIreless 802.11ac while the Express only offers 802.11b/g/n - so theoretically, yes, the Ultra would offer better connection speeds. However, it also depends on the speed of your internet and whether your router supports Wireless AC. I've also heard of people having issues with any brand of streaming player (Fire, Apple, etc.) on older TVs in general - I think in these cases it might be an HDMI issue (perhaps faulty) - where the video is reaching the streaming player quickly without issue, but the TV is having an issue processing it at the HDMI port. All of my older 1080p TVs have had issues with HDMI ports over the years. Usually going out completely after power surges.

I have a Roku Express on a TV that is not a smartTV. I also have a smartTV, but prefer the Roku on that TV. What advantages over the Express can the Ultra Streaming Media Player offer me? I am not interested in recording streamed shows.

I went with the Roku Ultra earlier this year as my first Roku device because I knew I'd be upgrading to 4K. I ended up with a Roku 4K TV (TCL) so it didn't really matter, but I still like the Roku Ultra better than any of the others I have (2 x Roku TCL 4K TVs, and 2 x Roku Express) because I really like that the controller comes with a headphone jack. Those are two main points for Ultra (4K, headphone jack remote) vs. Express (none of those things). Ultra also has a media card reader that I've used to stream online courses downloaded from the internet (that didn't have a Roku app).

Enjoy precision control with this SteelSeries Stratus XL 69050 gaming controller, which features home and back buttons and analog joysticks for seamless integration with select Android and Windows systems.
 

Can you use for steam?

That is what I purchased this for - steam games. And it worked fine. I had to do some controller mapping, but ultimately decided to go with an Xbox 1 controller. Works with the controller-enabled steam games I tried it on, including Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky.
