Does what it's supposed to

Not much to say, the cable functions exactly as advertised with no fuss. Perfectly good, and way better than paying $30+ for a HDMI cable.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an enthralling celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and convention to become one of history's most beloved entertainers. Following Queen's meteoric rise, their revolutionary sound and Freddie's solo career, the film also chronicles the band's reunion, and one of the greatest performances in rock history.

Fantastic film

Verified Purchase:Yes
Rami Malek brings Freddie Mercury back to life in this amazing film, and the rest of the cast provides beautiful support to a fantastic story of one of the most talented performers in rock history. 5 stars is hardly enough of a positive rating.

Bought as replacement for PC controller, with wireless dongle as well. Xbox controller seems to integrate much better on Windows PCs (obviously) than any other controllers. Plus, a good secondary controller for co-op on Xbox.

Keep the action going with the XBOX One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your XBOX is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Much, much better than batteries
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: jrrone
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great, recharges quickly, and way better than having to replace batteries regularly. The recharge cord is very long, in case you get into a marathon gaming session. But honestly, this doesn't seem to be a serious issue, have never had the charge die out during any session. For the record, have also tried the off-brand version and it didn't charge as well and the micro usb didn't fit as nicely into the controller as this official kit does.

Works as advertised, if a little oversized, probably could be slightly smaller and still function just as well.

Exact fit as advertised, and great to have on an automatic replenishment schedule via Best Buy. Don't even need to think about it now, it just shows up when needed.

Okay, but wait for discount

"On a world left unfinished by the gods" - and also the developers. It's kind of fun but clearly not ready for release despite 5+ years in development. Loaded with bugs, sparse content, constant connection problems. Totally skippable game in its current state and with all the other great games currently out there or coming up, totally skippable period.

Overall2 out of 5
2 out of 5Constant, high-pitch whine
By jrrone
This unit has a constant, high-pitched whine that never goes away even at full battery power, on or off battery, and only changes pitch slightly (but still audible) when the LCD screen is on. When unplugging the unit, the whine continues for a while, suggesting it's somehow related to the battery. For my use, it was under my desk and still very audible, so all the marketing materials showing it on top of a desk (which would presumably be closer to the user) and considering the overall high rating from many users, it makes me wonder if not all the units exhibit this whine (QC issue?) or if the frequency is not audible to everyone, or both. However, further reading and research shows plenty of other users have had this same issue, unfortunately. I have always, exclusively used APC UPS for the smaller units (900 VA and lower) and have been happy with the brand overall. This is the largest I've purchased, but I had to return it and go with a different brand. Just couldn't take the whining sound in general use, even with other white noise in the room. And didn't want to try a different one of the same model because of reading others' experiences with the whining.
If it wasn't for the whining sound, this unit is good. The LCD is bright and the unit seemed to function well for the 48 hours I used it. Socket locations in the back are fine, plenty of cord length, easy access to battery, front panel access for USB connections.
CONS:
-High-pitch whining sound that never stops
-High-pitch whining sound that never stops
PROS:
-Bright, functional LCD screen
-Number of sockets
-Easy battery access, user-replaceable
-Front panel access for USB and USB-C
-Cord length
-Bright, functional LCD screen
-Number of sockets
-Easy battery access, user-replaceable

Despite having good experiences overall with APC and definitely recommending the brand in general, I cannot recommend this particular unit because of that one, very annoying flaw.

Dear APCProductSupport,
Thanks for the response but I don't know if you realize that on the page you linked: (1) Your chat system is unavailable (button grayed out, says "Chat Unavailable"), despite saying it is on Mon-Fri from 8a-8 p EST, and (2) There are no email options for tech support, only a phone number to call which takes you to a message warning about a 30-minute+ hold time "due to heavy call volume" (which I suspect is always an issue) and directs you to use the online chat for faster service which, as I just noted, is unavailable. This is not very helpful.
