Pretty good at reasonable price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Decent backlit keyboard with a catch. I appreciated the backlit design boosting key visibility. It has a nice long cord easily routed / hidden as desired. Easily removable wrist rest (magnetic attach) is also a plus if you wish to have it and option to save space when not needed... volume "wheel" is super convenient and a nice touch.
Now for the catch: The keyboard has only basic backlight control functions built in (brightness and speed of "rolling" backlight change). If you want more backlight control (like solid / customer color schemes, stop rolling backlight, etc.), these can only be done (on this model) via the SteelSeries App. Since I use on my work computer, I cannot install the App, thus have less than ideal control over the lighting themes & have to live with the embedded settings (limited themes and always "scrolling"). After having most "chicklet" style keyboards, this design took a little getting used to, but works well with great key feedback with mid-level typing "noise", though I do tend to be a "heavy" typer.

Grabbed this for the house so I'm not always splitting tools between house and work spaces and I am super happy with the purchase. Tools are of quality construction, plus has a great array of tips and sizes...everything you'd commonly need. Grips are very comfortable and functional & love, love, love the organizing case (stand or wall mount). Never have to search for a tool again. Went into use immediately, highly recommend

Very handy with easy operation, amazing technology
on January 31, 2022
Posted by: AgentM
The tool itself with "robotic" tweezer function is truly amazing! You do need to be careful, of course.. follow the instructions. Camera clarity is great, charging and storage design are a nice feature to keep parts clean and organized. Has absolutely saved me trips to the doctor, especially during pandemic concerns which is huge & basically paid for itself after the first saved office visit. It is comfortable and small enough to get the job done, silicone tips prevent scratching or abrasion. Takes a little practice as motions are reversed according to what you see. Removed 1 star for 2 relatively minor reasons,
1. (as mentioned in other comments) when pairing, phone needs to be in Airplane Mode, only connecting to the device itself or app doesn't connect (keeps asking to connect-loop).
2. Every so often connection drops and you have to go to the app and tap the device connect again to resume.
That stated, it holds charge for a long time, does not get noticeably too warm and has plenty of light (adjustable) to see very clearly. The micro-tweezer function is remarkable and has just the right strength to do what is expected.

Great function & value with a futuristic look

Easy setup, great value, cool look, plus an impressive improvement over my just 2 year old router. I've had ASUS routers for several years, this being my 3rd upgrade. Guided Setup was a snap and the lifetime internet security is an awesome bonus I didn't find with any other option. The ASUS Router App (free to download) is intuitive and contains many advanced controls not found in others I've used. Plus you get the sweet pulse / breath multi-color "stealth" display (if you ae into that). Strong signal and thus far flawless operation, used mostly for work & streaming content.

2nd time purchased, great economical choice. This player is reliable, packed with features for the price point with a sleek, minimalist design. Added this one to my Sony soundbar and main entertainment space. Somewhat surprisingly, the navigation functions even respond via HDMI with another brand TV remote!

Super easy to use & works great. Replaced a much older version that finally wore out. Only note / wish list would be a glass vs plastic receptacle option, by no means a deal-breaker though.

Setup your Garmin n~vi GPS with this Insignia dashboard mount. The 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt let you view your device clearly from different angles, while the nonskid design prevents sliding by providing a secure, firm grip. This black Insignia dashboard mount has a low profile that bends to the contours of your dashboard for flexibility.

Doesn't work as well as I hoped. I had to set a velcro sticker to make it stay in place. And not tall enough.

The Birdfy AI Smart Hummingbird Feeder is fun, educational, easy to install, and makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in birds and the outdoors.With its dual, weatherproof, AI enabled, solar powered, high-definition (1080p) wireless cameras - lets you feed and then simultaneously view, record, and identify hummingbirds with your smart phone, tablet, or computer. Using motion-detection, day or night, it senses when there is a hummingbird visiting and records audio and video, from two separate vantage points, and sends you a real-time activity notification via the free Birdfy app. The AI system recognizes and differentiates between 6,000+ bird species and is included at no extra charge for the life of this product. The feeding station features a large capacity 20oz, BPA-free, anti-UV, nectar reservoir with ant moat. The solar panel is purposely separate from the main unit to allow for optimized placement and improved performance, because where you may want to put the bird feeder is not always the best place to capture the most sun, so added installation flexibility is a plus.

Does this ASUS router's android app have the capability to notify you when a new unrecognized device connects to your network?

Upnp function can be set to send connection requests to a locally network connected PC, so this may provide the function you need. General operation does not have connection notifications, but does have very advanced limiting / blocking capabilities and network protection plus drill-down (to individual device) traffic monitoring and restriction settings.
