Excellent entry to transition DSLR to Mirrorless
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Been wanting to make the jump to mirrorless for years but the price of entry was too high. I have Lumix point & shoots, so picked this up as an open box ($70 off) since I'm familiar with the functions and menu
I've been delighted, capturing both pics I otherwise haven't been able to using 4K burst mode as well as shooting both JPG and RAW formats flawlessly (pics attached)
The fully articulating screen is great as well as the 12-60 kit lens
Downsides include continuous AF (searches too much, so better to keep it on single AF), battery life (don't expect a full day of shooting, especially if using video) and shooing in low light
If you have realistic expectations, this is a terrific intro mirrorless camera

Picked this up for an old camera (2009) - camera still works and this is the max capacity storage. The cam shoots 1080 vids, so Ultra works best here

Shocking (literally)
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
tl;dr - seems to be a static shock threat in low humidity locations
Purchased this as a gift for office friends. Initially, it was well-liked (great keystroke feel, unobtrusive backlighting) but it also was a source of static shocks. The office doesn't have a humidifier and it quite dry during the winter time. The G413 was replaced with the previous plastic membrane keyboard and all was well. May try again when there's more humidity in the air

Very light (less than ten pounds), so can be mounted to a medium-duty cart and rolled around easily and a breeze to transport in a vehicle. Can easily connect a flash drive to a USB-2 port to watch vids and listen to music through the Roku Media Player. Very easy to navigate menus and plenty of streaming apps available - highly recommended

5 out of 5Solid keyboard to get when on sale
By PeteR
summary - d*mmit Jim, I'm a typist, not a gamer
Picked up this highly rated keyboard (multiple websites) for $130 because I was curious what a top-of-the-line mechanical keyboard was like. I have a reverse learning curve (Microsoft ergo keyboard 4000 are my go-to) and other than constantly hitting the Cap Locks key when I want to Tab, this has been a terrific purchase.

Follow-up: quick silver (switches)
August 31, 2020
If you feel the need for speed, this keyboard is for you as the silver switches live up to their name (speed) as they are currently the fastest. Great for gaming but for takes a bit of getting used to for typing. I type faster but also make more errors as it's a bit unforgiving. Still happy with the purchase and am slowly getting better

5 out of 5Upgrade from M570 Trackball
By PeteR
tl;dr - consider buying if, 1) you're familiar w/using a trackball, 2) you want a trackball that controls two computers, 3) you want an 20º angle (or 30º with the base that comes Best Buy version), and/or 4) precision mode is desired. If not, the M570 is a better value.
I've used trackballs since corded Trackman Wheel (early 2000s), then upgraded to wireless M570 five years ago. Decided to try the Ergo because I had some Best Buy points and $10 off Best Buy birthday credit.
I like that the Ergo can control two computers. I'm neutral on the different angles, and haven't really used the precision control

The blood red one from my Trackman Wheel fits perfectly in the Ergo. Also, Papermate Stick pens are the right size to pop out the ball if you want to clean the sensors

Had potential to be very good. Solidly built, good response to controls. However, no direct method to program it into AiMesh system. This is a huge negative for me.

Where would I find a replacement power cord for this device?
Danielleh, good question. I was thinking of picking up an additional power supply for the drive because I move it from the TV to PC and it's a hassle disconnecting it each time.

can i plug the hard drive into a seagate personal and watch movies that way or does it have to be directly plugged into a tv?
hey, Movieboy. Unfortunately, the Seagate will only hold movie files - you'll need either a PC or TV app to watch the movie. I have the Seagate attached to a TCL TV and watch movies that way.
I've daisy-chained a second drive to the Seagate and the TC recognized that drive too
