The best PC controller EVER!
on December 9, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
This controller is amazing. It's so customizable and durable. The grips are truly non-slip. I play video games for hours and my hands to get sweaty, but they never slip due to the high quality material of the controller. I have used all other types of controllers for the PC and this by far is the best.

Not for PC
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great with your smart phone or any other Bluetooth gaming device. However, I would not recommend this product as a PC controller. I would go with an XBOX controller for ease of use and compatibility issues. This controller is not customizable and lacks basic functions for PC use.

Do not buy for PC use.
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would recommend using keyboard and mouse for most games.
However, if you are wanting a controller for you PC, I do NOT recommend this. It needs a supportive software to assist in connecting with a PC. It continuously changes to player 2 and there is no way to convert it back to player 1 unless you restart your PC. When your controller is labeled as player 2, you lose basic functions that are needed as a player 1. You can't start games, control settings, etc... You will also need to purchase a silicon skin b/c the grips and sticks are slippery. I had this controller connected to my PC wired and wirelessly and I continued to have all my issues stated above. I also have the SteelSeries Engine app loaded onto my PC and this controller is not compatible with the app. I have no idea why when it's a steelseries product. If you are wanting a PC gaming controller, then just buy an XBOX controller. XBOX controllers are all compatible with PC and all windows based PC's have an XBOX accessories app for easy connectivity. I highly recommend the XBOX Series 2 Elite.

It beats the A50's and the best gaming headset!
on December 7, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have personally owned and tried both the Astro A50 and these SteelSeries Pro Wireless. Here are my thoughts:
Sound Quality: The clear winner are the Arctis Pros. They sound more crisp and clear.
Game vs. Chat Audio: The A50's are much easier to adjust between the game chat and game audio. The SteelSeries mix amp for game vs chat deals with the audio from your bluetooth device and audio from PC. I have not found a way to make the chat vs game audio similar to the Astro's. You will need to lower the master volume for in game settings to hear your teammates.
Battery Life: They both have a really long battery life. However, the A50 docking station is iffy and the SteelSeries interchangeable batteries are just better.
PS4 compatibility: They both need to be connected to a PC for any updates. I had consistent problems with the A50's connecting for updates on the base. This was very frustrating and I would choose the SteelSeries over the Astros.
The clear winner is the SteelSeries Artic Pro

They are great! They sound amazing and are very comfortable. They are definitely not as noise canceling as over the ear, but they still do the job.

I got these on sale for 29.99. These are an amazing pair of earbuds for the price. I bought these specifically to use at night while laying in bed. You can use the left ear while keeping the right earbud in charger.

Protect high-end devices with this CyberPower UPS battery backup. The multifunction LCD screen provides immediate charge status of the battery and power conditions to keep you informed, while the automatic voltage regulation maintains a safe voltage level to conserve battery life. This CyberPower UPS battery backup has data line protection that helps prevent damage to electronics.The GX1500U features an advanced multifunction control panel with a color LCD to quickly confirm status and alerts at-a-glance. The screen tilts for easy viewing when the UPS is placed in a low position such as under a desk. Two USB charge ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) power portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, even during a utility power failure.The GX1500U uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently.
Whats the difference between this model and the CP1500PFCLCD? I've seen glowing reviews for the Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCD but literally nothing for the model shown here.
After a ton of research on the Cyber Power website and side by side comparison, here are the answers to your question:
CP1500PFCLCD has the option of remote/auto shut down of your devices by buying and installing the RMCARD205 hardware to the UPS. This allows you to control or set up for auto shutdown of your devices. Go take a look at the pictures of the back of both UPS devices. The specs also state that the CP1500PFCLCD has SNMP communication but the GX1500u does not. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. The CP1500PFCLCD as a clear obvious spot to install the RMCARD205, whereas the GX1500u does not. The product descriptions on Cyber Powers website clearly state that BTOH are PFC Pure Sine. I know it gets confusing when you actually search for True Sine UPS PFC and only the CP and OR models show up. However, as I do side by side-word for word comparison of the models, they both clearly state that they are AVR PFC True Sine UPS's. You are paying extra for remote access/auto controls. Also, the GX1500u only uses 1 type of model for battery replacement, whereas, the CP1500PFCLCD has 2 options for different model numbers.
Again, they are both True Sine PFC AVR UPS's.
