This mouse delivers just what I need - comfort, accuracy, and it's rechargeable. I did not want a mouse that would depend on having extra batteries on hand to swap out. The lights are a nice bonus, too - as is the fact that I can change them or turn them off as desired.
It's very configurable, with the ability to add extra weight, change the tracking speed, the polling frequency, and, as mentioned, the lighting options.
Build quality is very solid, and the braided cable feels very durable. It's great that it supports charging while in use, and it charges very quickly while doing so. The software (not included - downloaded from the web address listed in the setup guide) is very thorough and gives you full control.
Glad I bought it, and I highly recommend it.

For the average user just looking to do some basic voice input, this microphone does the job. I wouldn't recommend it for any kind of recording work outside of notes for your own personal use. It's probably good for basic voice input, like speaking to Cortana in Windows 10.

I bought this video card to upgrade a computer I built about 5 years ago, replacing a 540 TI card that was showing its age.
It breathed new life into that computer, saving me quite a bit of money. It's fast, it's quiet, and it doesn't blow a ton of heat! The same games that used to cause the old card to feel like a mini-heating unit don't make any noticeable difference with the new one.

Great joystick, but turns out I really wanted more

I bought this joystick shortly after beginning to play Elite: Dangerous, which plays as a space flight sim in many ways. Playing on keyboard and mouse wasn't that comfortable, so I bought this joystick after doing some research.
It worked great, but I soon realized was that I really wanted a HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) setup - a joystick and a throttle controller. I ended up returning this and getting the other set.
I was generally happy with the performance of this joystick, however. The one thing that could have been better would have been a bit more centering tension to keep it more firmly centered while resting your hand on it. It has a hand rest, but actually using it more than a bit lightly caused the stick to pull off center and interfere with flying straight and level.
Other than that, build quality was great and it performed well!

Do you need a mouse pad for this mouse, or could you still game without a mouse pad?

No, this works without a mouse pad. I've used it on various surfaces and have not had a problem. I just put it on the couch next to me and it worked fine.

Does the Insignia Microphone have a way to mute. Also, does it have an indicator light.

It doesn't have a mute switch, but it does have an input level dial that may effectively mute it when turned all the way down. It also has an on/off switch directly below that dial, so you can always turn it off to mute it.

As to the indicator light, no, there isn't one.

Does it feedback off speakers ?

It hasn't in my experience.

Mic volume is so quiet, I have to put it in front of my mouth to talk. The mic volume level is 100 already.

You might need to go into your computer's settings and check the recording device settings. There is an input level that might be set low, and there's probably a recording boost option you can select.

Does this mic work with loudspeakers or do you have to use headphone to avoid feedback.

I have used this alongside a pair of speakers and not experienced feedback with it.

Does this work well with Elite Dangerous? I probably will get this just for that game.

Yes it does! I bought it specifically for that purpose and was happy with it. I have to admit, though, I decided to go further and swapped it out for a HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) set of controls.
