High power means watching the toast
on September 8, 2018

from SW Burbs of Chicago
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most toasters are 1000 watts, this one is 1800, so there's a higher likelihood that things you toast can burn easier. Luckily, the cancel button works quickly. Still, really like this toaster but keep an eye on what you're toasting - a little over two seems to be a good setting.

Terrific movie but only part one...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like other two part movies (The Matrix, Harry Potter), the movie leaves the viewer hanging, waiting for the conclusion. Enjoyable watch but won't be til Apr-19 before the conclusion will be released.

Solid 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

Upgrade 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
September 19, 2020
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

Good except…:

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.

Is the TV backwards compatible for streaming with the older 10 year old Apple TV models with an HDMI port?

It should work as the TV has 4 HDMI ports but if your Apple TV is ten years old (likely the gen 3), then it'll only output 1080. Consider upgrading to an Apple TV 4K (I use it for this TV) to fully take advantage of the TV's capabilities.

How far apart are the two legs of the LG 48" :

I didn't like the feet that came with the TV too, so I bought a center mount TV stand for under $30 and I was able to raise the TV 9". The LG B4 48-inch OLED TV has a VESA mounting pattern of 300 mm x 200 mm on the back

Alex, are you connecting the SSD directly to the iPhone or using a powered hub? SSD require power to operate, so you'll need a hub for this. More at the Apple wedbsite: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph95baac91f/ios

This Panasonic LUMIX DSLM camera has 5-axis image stabilization for sharp images.
 

Are micro sD memory cards compatible with this camera?

Yes, microSD cards are compatible but SDXC cards have faster read/write speeds, so that's a better choice and what I use (SanDisk Extreme 256GB)

To extend into my mother-in law house about 30 feet from main house, do I put this in my house or hers?

I'd suggest placing it wherever the extender shows all blue lights - if it doesn't show all lights, then it's too far away from the router

Can I separate the 2.4 and 5G networks?

Not from the extender - this needs to be done from the router as the extender relies on the router for configuration settings

My router is located on the second floor. If I plug this in my garage, would the signal be strong enough to reach the wifi led lights on my garage? I have to bring the bulbs inside to change color.

Tough to say, Sgtbrownty - it depends on the wall material (concrete vs drywall) and distance from the router to extender. But if you don't see four blue lights, then the connection is not being made
