The mouse is great... One small problem... The mouse sensitivity button that sits on top of the mouse is a bit sensitive. So, I find while playing I accidentally hit it and then the mouse pointer is suddenly all over the place... If you're seriously gaming and are heavy handed this mouse probably isn't for you.

For the money... Spend another 600 or 700 and get a laptop with AT LEAST 256gb ssd in it. I purchased this and couldn't even install one game on the SSD (BF1). It had to go on the hard drive which meant that each map in multi-player took an extra minute to minute and 30 seconds to load (seriously). I took it back. Ended up spending MUCH more on an MSI GS73 Stealth 016.

This flash has all the features... is lighter than the 600 series and much more feature oriented than the cheaper flashes. It’s light weight and easy to use. Only con is the ir doesn’t work well across well lit areas.... so shooting people in the shade outside from an area out of the shade where the flash is a slave (also in the shade) can be problematic... this flash also supports rf so if you have a transmitter then this won’t be an issue.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

In this case - the answer is yes. Amazon beat google by a long shot. The google product doesn't match up. Amazon has done a great job integrating with other home security products as well as the hue, nest etc... On top of that the voice recognition is second to none. If you're an amazon account holder you can order with it, if you're a prime member you can access it's music (you can anyway, just get more with prime). Also plays well with other apps like Pandora. It's great... beats google hands down.

I purchased this because I was impressed with the equivalent 55 inch version. Normally - it's just as great... Good picture, great contrast and blacks etc... And, I haven't experienced any color bleeding or light patches as in other reviews.... HOWEVER, I continue to get a pink screen about 1/5 times powering it on... Which only seems to fix itself by switching from one input to another (even powering it off/on doesn't work)... I don't know what's causing it.... Thankfully I have the protection plan so I'm still trying to research whether or not this is a software issue or what.... So... I could only recommend getting this TV if you're willing to shell out extra for the protection plan...

These headphones have a great rich dynamic sound to them. They're excellent quality (headphones and cord). The pricing is fantastic given the quality... These are comparable to $300 sets...
Only one real con.... they're tight on the head... Which, if you have a small head that's probably not a big deal.... But, it would be nice if the tension could be adjusted... Still - these are great!

I purchased this buying into the hype of gsnych with an NVIDIA card (I have a gtx1070). I originally bought one (on sale for $479). I liked it so much i went back and bought two more... Picture/colors are great.... Gsynch while gaming makes a huge difference. The only cons I have is that it's power button requires too much pressure and where it's located has you constantly having to readjust the monitor. And, when they go into power saving mode they don't always want to wake up (remedied by turning them off/on).... Has only happened a couple of times but, still a pain. Overall - great monitor and, best in class IMO at that price.

Sony keeps up'ing it's game in the soundbar department. I've read reviews about the LG's and, while they're nice... (mostly the base) Sony is right there with them. Feature wise - Sony's are tough to beat. This specific soundbar had a firmware update on it soon after I bought it making it a 4.1 - allowing it to connect to Sony wireless surround speakers (which was a pleasant surprise). Additionally - if you have a Sony TV - controls are seamless with no additional messing around setup wise. And, of course - excellent sound and base... Hard to tell it's a sound bar vs. a full home theatre system

Earlier Version

We have this remote which we bought around 5 years ago. It is glitchy and does not work well to say the least. Looking on all the websites, it seems that this remote is one of the best universals out there. Has anyone had an earlier version of this model and noticed improvements with this one? Could we have just gotten a lemon? I am hesitant to buy the same model since we have had so much trouble with our current one. Thanks!
The remote itself is likely no different but, the software has definitely been updated and improved. I had an earlier version (likely 5 or so years ago as well) and, programming / using it was a pain. They've come a long way since then. Much more user friendly programming them.

Will this work operate the smart tv functions on a LG smart tv

Will this also work with a bose hometheater speaker system, directv box, and bluray player
Basic functions - yes. The rest depend on the model. I have an LG with the motion remote that comes with it - and, some of the functions are supported - others requiring programming specific keys which can be frustrating.
