I loved my last "all surface" mouse and wanted one for my office as well. So here I am testing, using and deciding on where it belongs in my life.
1. nice size. not too small but smaller than normal mouse, so it is more packable.
2. battery lasts a decent amount and with usb-c port charging I can use almost any cable in my house to charge it.
3. usable on 3 different devices is a game changer. I use it on my laptop and when I need some finer movements, I use it on my tablet or phone. the switch button on bottom makes it easy to reach and out the way for daily use.
4. center wheel is smooth and easy to use when needed
5. materials are plastic and silicone. So it will not be bulletproof, but it will take some drops and such with no issues.
6. software is easy to install (not needed for basic use) and lets you configure all the buttons to your liking. I use my scroll for page minimize for quick desktop access.
7. scroll wheel is very precise and I can get small movements with no issues on webpage.
8. high DPI is a lifesaver. it is so small in the movements, I can barely move my hand to get it to go across the page.
9. pairs quickly and I have not had any stuttering or dropouts while using it.
10. can be used either straight bluetooth, or using a typec cable plugged into the computer.
Now of the not so goof the good things for me on this.
1. "hump" on top is a little too low to use for long periods as it will fatigue your hand.
2. it says it is 90% quieter then previous models when it comes to mouse clicks. Well I do not hear any difference between 2s and 3s model. So the clicks are still clicky and noticeable in quiet room.
3. takes a few seconds to awaken from sleep (when not used for certain time)
4. silicone sides are nice and smooth, but with moisture you will feel it slip sometimes or feel "slimey" if you have wet hands.
But with the large amount of good things and small amount of bad, I would still use this a my daily mouse across all my devices.

After getting my watch I know that the cheap band that came with it needed to go. So here I am on the hunt for a band that is:
adjustable
non sweaty when I wear it
easy to take off and put on
comes in a color that matches my personality.
Well, this almost checked all the boxes. However, I will only wear it sparingly as it does not work well for me when in a hurry.
It is:
Adjustable
Gets hot when worn too long. even though it is nylon.
Takes far too long to take off and on due to the "ripple" used to secure the band. Also the buckle end almost does not fit into the coupling. Making it very difficult to adjust and secure.
Matches my personality perfectly.
So lets get into the good points:
adjustable
good material that I am sure will last a long time
bands are easy to slide into the watch with a simple click
does not loosen or come off easy, as to make sure your watch stays put and feels solid
coloring is nice and does not look like it will fade anytime soon
"metal" is not magnetic, so things will not stick to you randomly.

I just wish it was easy to get on and off my wrist and did not make my wrist sweaty. Otherwise it is a good replacement for my original band that came with the watch.

To explain the title of this review. I mean it is smaller in size then what I was expecting. Not smaller keys or smaller/cramped typing surface, but all the un-needed framing. Here is my take on this fantastic keyboard.
Likes:
Size (dimensions)
Key size (full sized)
Key travel (medium press)
10 key ( lord knows, sometimes you need to quickly lay down some digits)
Weight ( light enough to carry, yet heavy enough not to slide around much)
Multi-point connection (ability to switch between my laptop and tablet easily)
Ability to either use Bluetooth only or the supplied dongle for "toothless" computers
Spacing on keyboard it like a laptop, so they are less likely to get pressed by accident

Dislikes:
It uses batteries instead of being rechargeable. so more landfill waste IMHO
Slot for "device" is too slim to fit anything but a naked phone. Also it did not really fit my iPhone as the weight would be too much for shallow depth to hold. Unless you have a really small tablet, it will not fit either.
Angle of legs are not high enough for me. I know everyone is different, but I like mine with more adjustability
Depending on how quickly or intently I type, it is not as quiet as I was hoping. Still better then most, but not as quiet as a full size scissor keyboard.

Well, I will have to say that after all the hype and reviews online, I was excited to get this item. However, it did not live up to the needs I have for the most part. Here is way I was let down.
1. unlike all the other packages (online,and such), I did not get a travel bag, t-shirt, underwear, or other items usually packed inside. Not that I needed short or underwear at this moment, but still.
2. This is much smaller than I was expecting. With smooth edges and size, it makes it hard to keep a grip on. I can not even phantom trying to use in the shower with no way to grip it.
3. You have to use the same cable that is used for the body trimmer for the nose trimmer. Would have been easier to let it charge in the same cradle that the trimmer does.
4. It does not cut close enough (at least for me) to avoid the prickly feeling the next day (or even same day for that matter)
5. Battery lasts a good amount, but not for multiple uses (unless you are touching up from last mowing) so I have to recharge almost every time (before use of course)
6. Nose trimmer does not work well for me. I hear the slicing and dicing, but when I inspect the results, well I do better with scissors and a mirror, So no time saved there.
7. Planned obsolescence of blades. they expect you to purchase a fresh set of blades every 3 months. Which if done would cost the same as a new device within 1 year.
8. No blade guard for travel or storage. Yes you can use the length comb to do that, but with the intended use of this item, I would need to attach those.
Ok well now let me let you know what I liked about it.
1. Takes pills off my sweaters much better than a sweater shaver
2. Works good to shape mustache or beard with small size being a plus.
3.low noise, so when I approach the dog for quick ear trim, it does not freak her out.
I will still use it every once in a while, but it does not even come close to my current trimmer in grip, size, speed, and travelability.

I have been wanting a camera with flip screen since I love to record my deep thoughts for the masses. However, before this came into my life I would not always be in frame. Well this item solved that problem and many others I did not know I had. So here is the run down of my experience with this camera.
The good:
small
light weight
connects with bluetooth device (phone or grip) very quickly and easily
controls are grouped in a way that makes it simple to find your settings you want
half press focus is quick and spot on with all my pictures
records to SD card (256 max) which is easy to find and cheap to buy
mic is really good with very little distortion or tinny sounds. it is more high def mid range
software you can download is very simple and quick to use
it will store gyro data internally, making your vids smooth when you process using the camera software.
screen flips and rotates with ease
battery compartment is easy to access with tripod attached to bottom
screen has red outline that shows up when I am recording, so I know that I am recording
large sensor so low light is not much of a issue anymore
wind muff does great job blocking the wind and other noises from coming through
takes good pictures with the 20mpx sensor
can record video in either HD (1080p) or 4k
has slo-mo and hyperlapse (only one speed each, but still useful)
has contrast based focus, so as long as you have defined colors you will always be in focus
turns on and off really fast, so you will not have to fumble around and wait to take you pic
battery can be charged with USB C cable while in the camera, which means you can connect to power source and keep on filming or taking pics
long battery life for something this small. I have yet to run out of juice when going out and shooting
has hdmi, usb-c, and mic input on the side to assist you in have many options during your shots
large screen with touch controls that are very reactive to your input.
Bad:
non standard lens cap, that is really small and almost impossible to put back on the first try
even with the 42mm thread, you can not add additional lens (zoom, etc) to it. you can only use a ND filter or CPL to improve the shots
colors are a little washed out, but still workable with your editing software
no real gripping area to hold like normal camera, so it might slip from your hands if you don't use a threaded grip or a tripod
slightly more noise in the low light than I was lead to believe. It is better at capturing at night, but still has more artifacts than I would want

All the bad things are more personal. So your experience may differ depending on your use. I am still glad I got it and will use it every chance I get. The fact I got so much for so little is fantastic.

I am so glad I go this little mic. It has vastly improved my vlog game in so many ways.
1. it is small and easy to stow
2. the front facing mic picks up a lot more then the camera alone.
3. shockmounted to reduce the vibration noise others have been having when I used them
4. comes with screen muff to further improve the wind resistance when using outside.
5. comes with cable to connect your your TRS camera input.
6. the mounting is made easier with the half twist cinching. so you do not need to crank it down, it only takes a little movement to lock it in.
Now for the little things I don't like so much
1. it is not powered to you can not adjust gain on the mic itself.
2. the sound is somewhat flat and really dynamic. think mono split into 2 tracks
3. only fits one direction, so if I wanted to film something else but still give narration, it would sound like I am in another room, if it picked me up at all. So no flipping it around in the cold shoe.
4. the cable needs to be right angled, as to reduce the risk of hitting it while plugged in, as well as give it a more streamlined appearance.
But those are minor things compared to all the good things it does have going for it.

(click to see full-size image)
I was in need of a external drive to store my games on. I planned on transferring my RPG's on to it so I could leave my laptop clutter free. Well this does that and then some. First off I like the fact I can change the RGB colors to many different patterns and colors to make my rig pop. So here is a list of my likes and dislikes.
Likes:
small size, but not too small it will get lost.
fast read and write speeds (although I do have faster ones)
metal case means it can handle some spills and falls with no worry.
long cord to plug into back of desktop and still have room to see it in front of you (gotta see them lights)
comes with software to configure your lights, patterns and other settings to keep it running smoothly.
stays cool (or at least does not get hot) while being used with gaming situation.
Dislikes:
USB configuration is too high for even the most modern rigs, so the advertised speed will not ever be reached for a few more years I think (see picture in review)
cable is stiff and sometimes it is hard to get drive to lay flat.
size is good, but I have smaller ones (dimensions) that seem to be faster on the read/write, but they are smaller in capacity as well.
So, Yes I am glad I got this and will be looking forward to many gaming sessions in the future.

I normally give reviews in a Good, Bad, Ugly structure. So lets get started.
Good (love or like this a lot)
Small and light.
Very well made construction (durability).
Creator accessories are epic and well worth the extra price above stand alone unit (more on that later)
Battery life is better than previous models with larger size and improved weather resistance.
2 touchscreens? yes please. Very easy to touch and scroll menus with.
Magnetic clip for portrait or landscape filming. not worries it will come off when attached.
Selfie pole is nice and long. Very sturdy and with software you can remove from video with ease.
3 batteries and charging case(case does not charge without power) that can double as power bank (with batteries inside).Love the option to swap them out, and with 3 I can shoot a lot longer with no worries,
New and improved menu to make it easy to find your settings.
Touchscreen quicker and more responsive. Making you setup quicker and easier for you to get going.
Horizon lock, Horizon leveling and RockSteady are improved and are light years ahead of the previous models.
Sound capture is good, but not great. But what do you expect for a action camera. However, with it able to use “any” type C mic, it does have ability to meet most audio needs.
You can use the included case to mount portrait or landscape, but without you can mount landscape. So keep that in mind
Improved color profile to give a little more color to your work. Good upgrade, but to large step up.
Bad (this sucks, but you can work through it)
Magnetic clips are the only thing it will attach to. so if you forget or lose it, well you are out of luck and filming handheld.
Battery case does not hold a charge to "refresh" the batteries inside.
Selfie pole is long and will tend to wobble if you are using for skiing, biking, or other rapid movement activities.
Lenes is waterproof, as long as you don’t take it off and incorrectly reinstall it. Which has happened many times. The O ring is small and quite hard to get ahold of without tweezers.
Even with the mounts fully seated, the connection does move alittle with rattle sound. Which might come out of you use the front facing audio source while filming.
Still only 12mp camera and slightly bigger image sensor. This means the images/video are still lower rez that almost all the other cams that are out there.
Camera will not work unless you register your account with the company ( you can skip 5 times). Takes the fun out it when open the box and what to get to filming.
Old accessories will not all work with this model. Lens is bigger, camera battery location is different(also different type), cages and ND filters will not work unless you get a 3rd party kit after the fact.
Ugly (Why did they do this or why is it this way)
After 5 skips of registration you will be locked out from using the camera until you do register it online. Also they want access to you pictures, video, audio, calls (coming and going) and phone usage. Not sure why they need all this info to just film a kids birthday party.
With larger sensor, you also get more noise in low light since it is still 12mp. So noise is larger and easier to see,
Buttons are stiff, therefore when starting or ending your vid/pic you have a tendency to move your camera making it blurry or change directions.
Buttons are stiff, therefore when starting or ending your vid/pic you have a tendency to move your camera making it blurry or change directions.
AND here is the big one. The focus on this model is terrible. The minimum focus is supposed to be 0.3 m, but even past that it has a soft filter like quality. I am not sure action people care if you have wrinkles while you are surfing a volcanic wave (interesting visual). But with 3 firmware updates and numerous emails/calls the problem still remains. If you like a soft video for your beauty blog or to have a dreamy flashback in your youtube, then this is your cam. However, you want this to grab the action and show the world your newest tricks, then pass on this until they fix the problem (most likely a physical issue as opposed to software)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well first off this mouse is from a company that excels at gaming accessories. So you know what you are getting is going to step up your game (your talent may vary). So here is my take on this epic piece to of mousing ( yes that is a word,,, I made it up).
Good:
Fits my hand like it was molded just for me.
Colors galore, I mean with the options available you can taste the rainbow (not really, don't lick the mouse)
Battery life is really good for the amount of options and tasks you can program this with.
Connection is beyond epic. I can connect via cable (with supplied cord and desk weight), bluetooth only (no cable or dongle), or I can use 2.4ghz with supplied USB adaptor. All work flawlessly.
Shortcut/task buttons are easy to reach and very responsive.
Glides like it is skating on ice with reckless abandon. I had a few times I almost flung it off my desk when I was moving too fast.
Lights on this thing are stuff of dreams. I mean the patterns and movement almost make me forget I am playing a game with it. I just stare and drift away.
Good weight and well balanced, with no restriction on the way the optics pick up the movement.
Different profiles, so you can go from Word to Warcraft without having to figure out your settings. Just a quick switch and you are set for raids aplenty.
Center wheel is smooth and very accurate. However, don't spin to quickly or the "Clutch" will disengage to let it spin freely until it slows down.
The finger slides are a godsend as I am always rubbing my pinky on the desk and my thumb is getting sore as well until I got this device.
I like the switchable DPI settings and mouse speed. I can not tell you how many times I have used for normal work after playing and had my pointer zipping across the screen.
Low click reaction? I mean that it takes less effort to get the mouse to register a input signal from either mouse buttons on the front. Makes a big difference when someone it camping you in game.

Bad:
Would be nice to have a little more info in the box, so I don't have to seach the web for answers. Like "what does this button do" kind of thing
Would be nice to have a carry case since it has a few extra items you might want to keep handy if you do LAN parties or on the go gaming.

Nothing ugly here, except the attitude of the masses I have pwn'd in game with my new mouse.

I was in the market for a mic to use on my not yet ready youtube channel. I had heard of this brand before but it was out of my meager budget at the time. Well, now it is a different story and I will tell you the deets.
The Good:
Heavy duty construction with balanced stand to keep it where I put it.
Gain control for time where I want to whisper and not shout (not that I need to with this)
Volume control for headphones, So you can monitor your sound and get the right levels before you commit to the stream.
Variable mic patterns. So you can have it all to yourself, or switch to one that lets the whole gang be hear on all sides.
Pop screen is like whispering through pantyhose, but t does work well with the S and P and the occasional sneeze (ewww boogies).
USB cable is good length and should fit most needs when connecting to nearby computer.
Sounds this thing picks up are warm,smooth and handy if you have asperations of being a jazz DJ.
The Bad:
Almost no instructions to operate this thing. I mean, yes I can look online, but sometimes it is nice to read about different options you choose from before you seek more advances stuff.
USB is old tech. I mean like 90's usb mini (your old cell phone charger). Which is fine, except if you forget it, or it gets damaged, you will have a hard time replacing it quicky. Should have been more like a USB-C or even USB mini so at least I can go to the store to get a spare if needed.
USB plugs in the bottom, which works fine, but does not leave a lot of room for the clearance of the table and stand, My fear is it will get knocked around and either break or come loose.
With streamlabs code, I had no idea what this was or how I would use it. I know now, but leaving people in the dark with random insert is confusing to me.
The Ugly:
nothing of reall note on this subject as it does what it is supposed to do. The only problem ( I am sure it is just me) is the software I downloaded would not let me get things setup with a webcam involved. So I have to make sure my cam is on to even start using it,

With all that being said, I would recommend this to all my streaming friends and family. This is a welcome addition to my growing podcast/streaming/voice over visions of grandeur.

Soundcore - by Anker Life Dot 2 XR True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones - Gray
Life Dot 2 XR is optimized for noise cancelling— changing its settings depending on your surroundings. On top of this it delivers thumping beats, clear calls, and a 35-hour playtime. Using the Soundcore app, you can customize your touch controls and sound profile to perfectly fit the way you listen.
Can you connect these to two devices at the same time like work phone and personal phone (multipoint bluetooth)
I have not been able to do this function on these buds. Most smaller units I have used don't have any (or good) multi-point connections as it wears the battery down faster.

What's the deal with the flashing Program button? Does everyone's flash? It's like it's screaming at me to program it.
yes it annoys me as well. But at least it is not blindingly bright. In my dark kitchen it serves as a kind of night light ( if my kitchen was a dance club)

WD - Blue 500GB Internal SSD SATA
Handle storage demands with this Western Digital SATA solid-state drive. Its 560MB/s read speed and 530MB/s write speed are suitable for intensive applications, and its 2.5-inch form factor fits most desktops and laptops. The solid-state drive has no moving parts, making the drive resistant to shock to protect your data. Includes the WD SSD Dashboard to keep track of the drive's status.
Why would you sell these ssd internals and no 6gb/s sata cables only 3gb/s sata cables
chances are, they do that to make them backwards compatible with older systems that can not handle that throughput on the motherboard. But you bring up a good point.

JBL - Under Armour Sport Heart Rate Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black
Track your heart rate, listen to music or talk hands-free on these JBL in-ear headphones. The ergonomic ear tips twist into your ear and stay in place with TwistLock technology without causing discomfort. These durable, sweat-proof JBL in-ear headphones have a battery life of up to 5 hours and come with a one-year MapMyFitness premium membership.
How would these headphones work for boxing ?
if you mean taping, stacking, arranging or making boxes, then yes they will work great.
But I would not wear any headphones while boxing. what happens if you get in the ear? sounds painful to me. However to mellow this answer out. if you can find the fit that keeps them from falling out. then sure shadow box all you want. The heart rate is not spot on, but it is a good general idea of what it is and can be used for fitness tracking.

Home - Smart Speaker with Google Assistant - White/Slate fabric
Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
Can you change the name instead of "Ok Google"?
I asked that and the answer was a round about " Uh No". I would like to change it as well but then again if you named it something else and then a person with that name was in the room it would keep getting triggered. So Alexa sounds nice, but I doubt I would find someone with Google as a name.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?
this unit uses your home wifi to connect to the services needed. The app is only needed to set it up the first time. Anyone can talk to it at anytime .However if asked what is my name it will respond with the account holders name as a answer. My wife asks for music all the time while I am not in range and it works great

IS Philips - hue White LED Starter Kit required in order for the speaker to work?
not sure why a led controller would be needed for speakers to work. Once it is set up the speakers are on already and waiting for you to command it to play something audiowise or music through your default music account (spotify, pandora, etc)
