Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad features an extended layout, with document navigation controls for quick scrolling and full-size arrow keys for gaming. A scissor mechanism beneath each key allows for increased stability, while optimized key travel and a low profile provide a comfortable and precise typing experience. The numeric keypad is also great for spreadsheets and finance applications. And the built-in, rechargeable battery is incredibly long-lasting, powering your keyboard for about a month or more between charges.

Perfect but pricey

Verified Purchase:Yes
So this is the best keyboard you can get for any Mac. Macbook, iMac, Mac Mini or whatever.. It's the best hands down.
If you're someone using the older wireless or wired Mac Keyboard it's not the same AT ALL as the Magic Keyboard. The Magic Keyboard has much more flush and concise keys that almost feel... idk just amazing.
I love having true functionality keys where I can turn the volume up and down, skip songs, adjust screen brightness and use the lock screen function with the press of 1 button.
The reason I almost gave this keyboard 4 stars is because I have no clue in the world why Apple decided to make the Magic Keyboard come with "10 keyless" by default.. Not cool Apple you should have the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad as the default not vise versa... Anyways.. I wish there was an option to trade in the 10 keyless keyboard for the price difference of the numeric keypad version.. But no.. I had to spend ~$90 with a $30 off BestBuy Credit.

Build quality is good but otherwise no thanks

Negatives:
Takes 6-9 hours to wash + dry 1 medium load of clothes.
All types of laundry comes out extremely wrinkled.
Takes forever to wash & dry clothes, wait did I already mention that?
Has wayyy too many wash types and buttons. Come on LG make life good not life take forever and be difficult.

Now the reason for 2 stars is LG definitely has very good build quality and this might be for some people, for example a college student with light laundry (just buy the smaller version) and or someone who for w/e reason can't run a dryer vent or fit a washer & dryer.
I wanted to love it but ended up deciding to return it.

It's an excellent keyboard for the money
on July 10, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
Verified Purchase:Yes
This keyboard is very durable and nice for the price. It advertises as spill proof and that in itself is a huge step up from almost any keyboards period. It types well and the only complaint I have is I wish the keyboards "wrist wrest" came out and tapered down a few inches further.
For the money I think I paid $15?
You will NEVER find a $15 keyboard of this quality in USA especially any box store.

This can actually be used for security
on July 10, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
Verified Purchase:Yes
This compared to the other really annoying and expensive indoor security cams has been a dream and MUCH better quality!
The instructions are extremely in depth and everything is really easy to setup and get started. It was working more than I expected without even going through a bunch of settings.
I previously purchased the Canary All In One system but it sucked really bad and they were like $6 more per/month for cloud storage of recordings which is extremely important because that's the point of a "security camera" because if anyone with 10 braincells just takes the camera it isn't going to have any data in the first place..
This camera is definitely suitable as an indoor SECURITY camera and does very well on good internet speed being near the router within about 30 feet.

NOT A SUITABLE SECURITY CAMERA AT ALL
on July 9, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Didn't work even after doing force resets on it and setting up the device multiple times. The camera is very good and very wide angle. The actual functionality of this camera as a "security camera" is HORRIBLE. It NEVER records or detects movement and I NEVER get notifications to my phone. Big thumbs down and for $60 + their outrageous $100/yr or $10/month fee for using 90% of the features that is absolute rubbish.
Returning this tomorrow!

Great Speakers for the money
on April 14, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are excellent speakers with good features. The speakers have really good sound and work great for general use or people that don't care for booming bass and overpowering volume. If you want bass or party type speakers these are not it. These are some good speakers to put on a small desk and have quality audio without wearing your studio headphones or a headset. It's nice to use them for movies or when I'm working on something where I don't want to be wearing my studio headphones I can just simply unplug my headphones from the speaker and go back to speaker mode.
The speaker has an input port for 3.5mm AUX where you can plug a TV or something into it and it also has a Headphone port where you can run your headphone 3.5mm jack to it and ALSO a huge bonus is you can adjust the headset volume using the knob as well! :D
I love these for the money and would certainly buy them again if they broke.

Great deal if on sale
on April 14, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This monitor is great when on sale. I paid $140 after tax and it has a beautiful edge to edge display, excellent color & brightness out of the box. I prefer a LED monitor that can actually go quite dim. I don't like very bright displays.
This display also caught my attention because it doesn't have a heavy anti-glare film over the screen YET you still get great anti-reflection with this display with open windows etc. You will notice a much crisper image without having such thick anti reflection or "matte" film over the display.
The downsides are the only complaint is the only adjustment is vertical tilt and other than that I've got no complaints. I think with today's day & age we should have almost all monitors coming standard with fully adjustable stands up & town for ergonomics. Personally I got lucky and this display is high enough where it's at a safe position for ergonomics and for me to not injure myself using it 8 hours a day for work.

Good Smart Watch
on March 18, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
1+ month owner & user.
Watch is comfortable and works great. The battery life is good if you do normal use on it. If you're trying to use the watch for multimedia and GPS without your phone then duh it's going to die within 24 hours. I've had no problems with the watch dying on me yet and typically I charge it every night but even if I forget to charge the watch it will last ~38 hours and still be around 20% battery. I use the watch for workouts and timers also notifications from my phone while driving so I don't have to look at my phone.
The 46 MM will fit men with big arms well and wrists and make you not look feminine. I noticed Apple Watches look very feminine on men with bigger arms such as myself. Looks weird to me. Plus I have a Samsung S9+ which pairs fantastically with this watch, why would I get an Apple Watch?
The material or finish they use on the "gear" on the watch that spins is very weak and got scratched up and diminished from very light use. Expect the ring gear to get worn out as far as the finish gets scratched really easily. Personally I don't care because I didn't buy this watch all for looks it's more for functionality and I don't mind if my tools show wear.
I wear it when showering and I've worn it submerged in a tub and had no problems with water. The watch works fine.
This watch is not good at multi tasking. I've noticed that if I try to unpair my phone and run the watch in bluetooth & wifi mode by itself with Spotify & workout the watch will freeze and my music will too. Sometimes when shifting from app to app it will also lag out and kind of glitch the animation to the next page. I'm a light user too I'm not trying to game on this thing or anything like that. Spotify + Tracking a workout will freeze and I've tried resetting the watch without luck. Uninstalled Spotify on my watch and also noticed an improvement in battery life.
I'm giving 4 stars because of the low quality finish on the ring gear on the watch, it scratches off too easily from light use and I think a different maybe stainless metal should be used without a coating on it. Whatever this coating is wears off very easily and looks bad after only a few weeks of light use. I also do not like that the watch does sometimes freeze up and lag when transitioning from different pages of the watch. (rarely happens)
I would've been happier spending around $250 for this watch considering the quality and issues I've had. I paid $300 + $60 Geek Squad Replacement Plan and expected a seamless experience, no lag and the build quality to be pretty good considering they advertise how rugged and tough it is with gorilla glass etc. The ring can't even handle light use without getting all scratched up and discolored.

They stay in your ears

These are good replacements to the standard rubbery or plastic ear cups that are included with most in ear pods. I put these in at the gym and even doing sit ups or intense cardio they stay put and also block a lot of the annoying noises like TVs or Gym Music that sucks.
They work great and i've only had to use 1 pair so far. I still have the others as backup just in case.

Excellent Keyboard
on March 3, 2019
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price this keyboard is excellent. I personally prefer membrane style keyboards so the type and feel of this keyboard is great. I do wish the spacing between the keys wasn't so much as far as the Function keys at the top and the Number Pad etc, but who can complain for a keyboard less than $20?
The keyboard is a great option for anyone that needs a cheap keyboard to either temporarily replace their keyboard being serviced OR even to use full time, if you wish. Personally I will be going back to my Microsoft Surface Pro keyboard once I receive it back from Microsoft. This keyboard will certainly stick around though.

Create emails and documents with this Microsoft Surface keyboard. The Bluetooth capability lets you connect wirelessly to your computer within a 50-foot range for greater movement, and the optimized feedback lets you depress the keys silently so you won~t disturb others. This Microsoft Surface keyboard has full-sized keys for comfortable, accurate typing.

1 out of 5Died in 48 days - Bad Quality Control
By Redhead
Purchased on 12/30/2016 and died on 2/17/2017. This keyboard died randomly and stops allowing keys to be pressed with shift key on the right shift key with the underscore.
Problem is it's nice if it's your sort of thing. However, if you have any issues it's expensive. It has AAA batteries which requires a cost repetitively and the power button has bad placement.
I really liked the keyboard but it's comical at best to troubleshoot a keyboard for close to two hours (granted Microsoft Support is non-existent and just asked for useless information repeatedly or for you to reboot a computer). I'm technical and even for me the more rediculous troubleshooting wasn't able to fix the odd errors I had as it's a faulty product.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as it's super expensive, not practical and there's better options across the board (I really like it) but this keyboard is not designed to last (it's not like I'm hammering away on the thing either).

3 out of 5Great concept
By OllieQueen
Loved the concept of only having one machine but the reality wasn't exactly what I expected. The machine worked if you have 3 hours to devote to one load of laundry. You can't use the dryer without a 20 minute spin cycle first which is annoying. If you want to dry anything quickly this is not going to work for you. You can't fill the machine more than half full either so you cant take advantage of the large size either. Things I liked were the ventless machine and the fact it runs on 110 volt power rather than 240 volt. There were lots of settings to pick from too. Overall it's okay if you're good with waiting for each load.

I like the concept as well although the unit has far too many functions and confusing options to choose from. I'm 25 years old and feel like they WAY over complicated the units functionality. I returned it and ordered a washer & dryer separate units so I wouldn't have to wait half a day for a large load of laundry to be finished and just come out all wrinkled up and weird smelling.

1 out of 5Faulty Monitor
By CatCity
I will start off by saying I'm a big fan of LG Ultra Wides, and am using the older version of this monitor right now, and have had no problems with it over the last 2 years. However, this particular monitor I am having problems with. I purchased this for my office, and it worked fine for about about 3 weeks, and then all the sudden the screen started messing up, things got fuzzy, and it appeared as if there was a very big crack across the screen... except their wasn't. I ran my fingers over the place that appears to be damaged, and it's not damaged at all, it's just a defective monitor. If you look at my picture, it looks like the glass is cracked, but it's not. Fortunately, I am still in the period where I can return or replace this... I'm likely going to replace it, because I've had such good luck with LG monitors over the years, but I am really disappointed in this one.

Yes the speaker comes with a 3.5mm plug BUILT IN and you can also plug an external 3.5mm aux cord into the front of the spaeker to play music from another device such as your phone, TV etc. Also if you want to plug headphones into this speaker it automatically will cut off the speakers and switch to the headphones.

Is there a difference between the US Version and Internstional version of this watch?
The only difference is the region code built into the watch which can be changed. The "international" watch is for use outside of USA but will still work in USA and the USA version will also work out of country. The main difference is going to be the country codes and also things like the Samsung Pay may differ. I'd ask Samsung Support or look up the manual to see the differences Samsung says.

Will the watch connect through Wifi? For example, if I am at home and my watch is too far away to connect via bluetooth, will I still get text and call notifications if both the watch and phone are connected via Wifi?
The watches can connect to Wi-Fi without the phone nearby. They can also connect to Bluetooth headphones and speakers etc without the phone. Unless you have the cellular model of the watch you will not get notifications from calls & messages to your watch if they are not paired with Bluetooth or out of range. You are only going to get notifications from your phone if the watch & phone are paired via Bluetooth.

I set alarm volume in Home app, but that seems to not affect music alarms. Music/media alarm waking me up at 60%, even though I have volume slider in app (and why is it a slider, not a spinner?) about 20%. Is there a way to set *music* alarm volume?
I also noticed this. According to Google documentation the Media alarm(s) will play at whatever volume you had it last set to. You should be able to change the Alarm volume itself within the Google Home Apps "Alarms & Timers" setting. There also is no way to change the alarm tone for general alarms so good luck waking up to the relaxing therapist music that plays as the default alarm tone on this device.
