The Oculus Rift is a step forward in VR technology, but by itself, it's just kind of like a 3D movie. A gimmick, and an expensive one at that. But when paired with the Touch Controllers, that give you lag-free virtual "hands", THEN the experience truly comes alive. Star Trek Bridge Crew is amazing with the Rift + Touch combo, as are many other VR games.

Bring your real hands into virtual environments with this pair of controllers for Oculus Rift. Natural gestures and finger movements create a sense of true hand presence for more realistic, memorable, and tactile VR. Constellation tracking lets you manipulate objects in your virtual environment with extraordinary precision. This is an Oculus Rift accessory only. Rift headset sold separately.
 
These make ALL the difference for VR

Don't buy an Oculus Rift without these controllers. Without them, it's just kind of a gimmick. But with these controllers, you finally get to experience what makes VR so compelling. The fluid, lag-free control given so you can see your actual virtual hands changes the Rift from a 3D monitor into a true virtual environment, or at least as close as we can get without full-body feedback. Highly recommended.

When it came time to upgrade my old 4x4 cable modem, I decided to go as future-proof as I could. The 32x8 SB6190 exceeded Cox' 24x8 max for my area, but that just leaves me headroom for the future. I've gone from around 100Mbps to 180Mbps on a 150Mbps account. All it took was a short phone call to Cox Internet service, and I was surfing again in under ten minutes. No overheating issues like the old 6183 series, either. Recommended.

It's a brilliant concept, but I found it a bit frustrating. The monsters are fun, but the heroes are fairly hard to kill, which makes battling them a little tedious for my tastes. I'd suggest playing through the tutorials before you buy it, through a rental or a friend's copy. If you don't mind the pace, then you'll like the game a lot. If you think it drags at the final tutorial, you'll probably get bored with it quickly.

This just didn't have the same polish that Forza 5 did. Starting car choice was limited, objectives weren't clear, and of course there are no manuals any more. This one was a letdown.

Destiny is the best next-gen game so far. The graphics are beautiful and the cooperative nature of the campaign mode adds to the experience since other players can neither harm you nor steal your loot. There are a couple of minor annoyances, such as Peter Dinklage's bored tone of voice as your Ghost, and unbalanced weapon damage (like sniper rifles that won't kill the lowest level enemies even with a headshot), but those are either trivial or fixable in a patch.

I currently wear glasses, but can I keep my glasses on while using this headset or do I have to get contacts?

Depends on the width of your glasses, but the adjustments only correct for intraocular distance, there is no focusing or diopter adjustment, per se. You'll need your glasses or contacts to use the Rift headset.

Which port does the cable coming in the back of the switch box go in or does it matter ?

On older devices, it used to matter which port, but it no longer does. Plug it into any port you like, it will adjust accordingly. It doesn't need a crossover cable or anything.

What does this product do and why would you need it?

It's used to add additional wired Ethernet ports to an existing network. Most WiFi routers only have four ports, so you could plug this into one of those, and you can plug more devices into the additional ports.

Compatability of 32GB MicroSDHC with TF card slot

I am about to buy a IROLA MID Google Android 4.2 1.2GHz 4GB 7" Dual Camera Tablet.
It has a TF card slot that accepts from 1GB to 32GB. From what I've read that is the same as a micro-sd card. I read in one post that SDHC might not be supported.
I want to buy a 32GB micro-sdhc card. Is an SDHC compatible with this device?
What is the difference between an sd and sdhc card? Can you even purchase a 32GB micro-SD that is not HC?
Cards higher than 32GB must be formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. Some devices are incapable of reading those file systems, so they are limited to 32GB max. If your device says it will accept a 32GB card, this one should work. If it doesn't, your tablet may simply need to format the card itself, so it can read it.
