This amiibo is well made, looks good, and delivers. I use it with on my Nintendo Switch playing Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild (BOTW) to get a daily treasure chest and assorted goodies for use in the game. It's fun! I also found out that I can do the same thing with other amiibos, but with BOTW amiibos you get weapons (in game), too.

I bought this case for my wife who has an iPhone 6. It is a nice looking, slim fitting case. It is like a protective skin for her iPhone to protect it from scratches and accidental bumps. I do not think it will protect if from a drop, but that is the trade-off you have to make when you want to show your iPhone style. I was never a big fan of thick, padded iPhone cases that double the size of the iPhone. This protects and keeps the original look of the iPhone. And the price was half the price of other cases.

Installation is So Easy

The installation of this device was so easy compared to other devices that I tried to install in the past. Just read and follow the directions and everything should work fine!
Of course, you need a WiFi router and you need to be comfortable with setting up devices to connect wirelessly to your WiFi router, after that, the hard part is over... but you have to read and follow the directions--don't take shortcuts.
After installation, you will probably have to update the firmware which may take a few minutes, and the app will help you do this, but after that, everything works fine with the app on your iPhone. Also works with Android, but I only use iPhones and Google Home. Works great on Google Home, too!

Three Google Homes in One House

This is my third Google Home device and I am very happy with this device. I bought my first one in December and liked it so much that I bought another in February. This one I bought in June--if it were not such a good device, I would not get more. I use this with Spotify, Google Calendar, Belkin WeMo, and my Nest thermostat. Everything works great. "Hey, Google, turn on the bedroom lights." Other commands that you may hear me use are: turn on/off closet light, sink light, kitchen lights, computer room lights, play music, play music in whole house, play music in bedroom, when is my first appointment, how is the weather, turn on/off the air conditioner, what's the temperature in the hallway, set temperature to 78 degrees, what time is it in Ottawa, what time is it in Pnom Penh, how far is it from San Diego to Florida, pick a number from 1 to 10, flip a coin, let's play a game, tell me a joke, and more. I love it!
I am an iPhone user and I am well entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, but this Google Home is affordable and so useful, that I have no regrets. Even when the Apple HomePod comes out, I will stick with my Google Home.

I had an iPhone 6 that was very good, but I wanted something newer. I liked how the new iPhone 7 Plus has a "portrait mode" and I was a little envious of my friends who used the new 3D Touch (improved Force Touch). Also, I like the shiny new Jet Black finish looks--even though some people claim that it is prone to showing scratches. I wanted to wait for the next iPhone (iPhone 8?), but I really needed that new camera for an event coming up, so I went ahead and purchased my iPhone 7 Plus. No regrets! It is a fine iPhone! But since I had regular sized iPhone 6, going to a Plus sized iPhone 7 took a little getting used to--but after getting a good case and holster for it, I am fine with it!

Clear Case to Show Off the iPhone (not hide it)

I like how this case shows off my iPhone without hiding it. When I first looked at this clear case I was concerned that there might be some distortion that would show through the plastic, but that was not the case here. Everything looks fine, the case has just the right amount of protection and clearness without adding a lot of thickness. The edge of the case sticks out a little so you can place your iPhone face down without worry that the iPhone will touch anything. The only thing that I did not like about this was how I have to press hard on the power button. I with the power button would be a little more flexible. Other than that, it is a fine case.

I previously used the original Magic Trackpad, but when I read that this one has built-in rechargeable batteries, bigger surface, and Force Touch, I had to get it. I was getting tired of changing out the two AA batteries on the original Magic Trackpad (always at an inconvenient time) and I wanted to try out the new features of Force Touch, so I bought the new Magic Trackpad 2. Not disappointed. It made my MacMini feel like a new computer.

I am an xBox 360 player. When the xBox One came out and it was not backwards compatible with the 360, I was seriously considering the Sony Playstation 4. Both the xBox One and Playstation 4 are expensive and neither can play any of the previous generation of games. Both are awesome systems. The reason I got the xBox One was the price drop when they unbundled the Kinect and I heard on a podcast about E3 that there is an update that will let us play our old 360 games on this new console so my old library of games won't go obsolete. Also, I love playing Assassin's Creed. This bundle comes with both Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Black Flag! I am not disappointed at all! Good price! Good value!

This mouse fits perfectly in my hand. The laser and sensor works on all surfaces. I use a white glass table and it works fine. I have not found a surface where it did not work. My experience: this is not true with all mice. It comes with a nice looking, soft case to keep it from getting scratched when you toss it into your computer bag. I especially like the on/off switch that slides over the laser diode when in the off position. The Logitech Unified dongle lets you connect multiple Logitech devices to your computer using only one USB port is a plus.
You can change how the scroll wheel feels by pressing down on it to switch it from a free-spinning wheel to a ratchet spin feel. In the free-spinning mode, you might accidentally zoom up on your web browser because the scroll wheel will continue to spin, even a little bit, as you try to copy something using Ctrl+C, it gets interpreted as a Ctrl+scroll which is recognized by most web browsers as a zoom function. This won't happen to a lot of people, but it happens to me since I use a lot of copy and paste within a web browser. Solution: stop the free-spinning scroll wheel or put the scroll wheel in ratchet mode.
Other than that, this is my new favorite mouse.

Good quality. The size feels right. This is a big improvement over the previous 3DS model. AC adapter is not included, so if this is your first 3DS, you might want to pick up a AC adapter compatible with 3DS or DSi models.

skips
I bought a mouse pad at the same time I bought the mouse. It skips. Tried it on wife lap top, same thing diff pad. only way to make it work is to put tan paper as a pad. any ideas?
This mouse is an optical mouse. It uses a laser to sense motion. When you say "skip" do you mean the pointer sometimes does not respond or do you mean the mouse physically skips off the mouse pad? If the pointer sometimes does not respond, it could be some software problem. This mouse, the "Anywhere MX" seems to work on all surfaces unlike other optical mice. I use mine on a glass surface which many optical mice do not work on and I love it. Since this is a laser optical device, consider that it is possible if your mouse pad has a strange reflective surface, like a bumpy 3D image, that the laser might diffuse in an unusual pattern that the sensor cannot pick up. Try different mouse pads. If your mouse skips even on a regular table top, it is probably a software problem (where one program is trying to do something that is not compatible with your mouse software) or radio interference (wireless uses radio signals as do cellular phones and other wireless devices). Good luck.

does this mouse not have a usb to make it work
does this mouse work without a usb connected to the computer? I see it is wireless but all of mine also have a usb plugged into my puter
It comes with a Logitech Unified USB dongle. This dongle plugs into your USB port and can help you connect up to six Logitech devices (as long as those devices also use the Unified USB dongle). I use mine to connect my Logitech mouse, Logitech trackpad, and Logitech keyboard, all wirelessly to my laptop using only one USB port. I am attaching a photo of the dongle that comes with it.

Downloading the app for my anywhere mouse MX laser mouse - black
I have lost the info sheet that told me what to do to download the app that will give me the full flexibility of my mouse. Please let me know what the app is called so I can download it.
Go to the Logitech web site at www.logitech.com. You will have to navigate to Support, Support+Downloads, Wireless Mouse, then identify your mouse (Anywhere Mouse MX) by picture, click on it and all the information and downloads will appear for it. This is May 2015. The web site may change in the future. A direct link to it is http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/anywhere-mouse-mx, but that may change in the future.
