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.

I understand that a set-up option exists to have he doorbell call multiple numbers simultaneously. How many numbers can be dialed? Does this require a subscription?

Never heard of this for a doorbell? But no there is no noise cancellation feature. Audio is only used when initiated by owner or button is pressed.

Control zoned heating and cooling with the efficient setup of this Google Nest temperature sensor. Compatible with the Nest thermostat (not included), this sensor lets you control the temperature and priority for any room in your home. The slim design of this Google Nest temperature sensor is easy to install on a wall or place on a shelf for discreet placement in bedrooms or living spaces.
 

I have 4 separate heating only thermostats in different areas of my home, do I need 4 separate Nest Thermostats to control each via the wires in the walls or can I have one "base" Nest and have 3 other Nest Temp Sensors to control the heat in those rooms?

This is just a sensor & does not offer independent zone control. You can use multiples to sense room temps and even have primary Nest thermostat use a sensor as the reference point for system on/off, heat/cool. But the sensors themselves do not offer any independent control, only the primary Nest thermostat wired into the heat source would offer system control.

Can i use this in a van? And if so will it tell me the temp when I'm not inside, for example if my van is in the parking lot and I'm on a school campus. Does it have a specific radius i guess is what im trying to say.

Works only in conjunction with Nest thermostat, connected to same wifi network.

The studs in My basement wall are on 26” centers. I know this isn’t normal but I have double checked. Will this mount work? I have no problem drilling extra holes in the mount if needed.

Lots of mounting holes, my studs were very unevenly spaced and it still accommodated a solid mount with no additional support work
