The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).

Perfect complement for the iPad Mini 6

Picked it up on discount (open box - excellent and reward certificates) and well worth it. The only suggestion I have is consider purchasing silicon tips for the pen to be gentler on the screen and to improve tackiness with writing/drawing

Decent replacement for a Tab S2 (8" - 2015 vers)
on August 27, 2021
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wanted to upgrade a small (8") Android tablet (already have an iPad mini) as the last system software update was v7 (current release is v11). There aren't many to choose from and this is the best choice for me. Definitely pay extra for the 64GB version as the internal RAM gets a bump from 2GB to 3GB (noticeable improvement in response). Though the bezels are thinner on the A7 Lite, the S2's screen has better resolution and has fingerprint unlock.

Really wanted to like it but...

Verified Purchase:Yes
...ended up returning it as it was larger than I wanted as a replacement for a Samsung Tab S2 (8" version) released in 2015. Unfortunately, 2" did make a difference for me in terms of balance and weight. The build and screen were good, the price was terrific ($140 open box) but the battery life was 4hrs-ish.

Vise-like grip for an iPad Mini 4
on August 27, 2021
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the first Joby product that I've returned - not only was it flimsy but I would have to use excessive force to fit an iPad Mini 4 into it, even though the product description said that it would fit. I may so but not without me worrying about damaging either the mount or the iPad

Unique use case - adding storage to laptop
on August 6, 2021
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Figure I'd make use of the SD slot since I rarely take pics and even more rarely use the laptop to adjust pics (save them for the desktop). Picked up the card on sale, which is why I went with the high speed/storage option (some might say overkill)

Solid upgrade for the HyperX - Cloud II
on June 11, 2021
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked up the Alpha S due to the the dual-chamber driver system (the Cloud II uses a single chamber). Definite sound improvement. Know that the cord is detachable but to take advantage of the virtual surround, you'll need to connect via the USB-A dongle. Can verify that it works on a PS4

Big sound and perfect fit for a tight spot
on June 4, 2021
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Been looking for a replacement for a much loved Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks (owned for nearly twenty years - tiny 3"x3"x3" speakers w/big sound). Sadly, the volume control was shorting out.
So, the trick was finding speakers that would fit in that spot - these speakers fit the space (see pic). Though taller, only a bit of the monitor is covered. They sound terrific, able to handle multiple connections (TOSLINK optical, 3.5 aux, and BT). Recommended wholeheartedly.

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

Trackballs are interchangeable

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

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
