Really all you need from a basic gaming mouse. Sensor seems good. I like the feel of the mouse itself and the click actuation. I would prefer more weight in the scroll wheel.

Most looking at this card will know everything they need to know, but this card really makes sense if you're looking at any alternative resolutions higher than 16:9 1080. It's not a 4K card, but does quite well.
Being a reference blower it's quite loud.

I love the ultrawide for racing simulators.
the 75hz is a small bump, I would of really liked something higher for this monitor.
the 5ms response is acceptable when set to one of the gaming modes.
The IPS color isn't quite as nice as the Asus IPS monitor it replaced. I like this monitor but I wish it had a bit higher refresh rate and a bump in panel quality

We tried several of the "Lifeproof" cases and all 3 of them had issues within 2 weeks or so. Also tried a "Lifeproof" on the replacement phone as well and with the same results. I can in no way recommend this case or the brand as a whole

The LED lighting blends well. the fans seem to provide sufficient cooling, and are much quieter than the Corsair fans they replaced. Definitely a recommendation

There are some fantastic reviews out there so I'll keep it short.
I love the dark level detail, having full array back lighting is a fantastic experience.
anything 1080p and up really upscales very well.
I like having all the connectivity.
Off angle viewing is quite horrid, the 55" has an IPS panel that helps.
the lack of content control for usb storage is a pain.

Has anyone had any trouble with the "click of death"?

My #1 fear for getting this hard drive, or any hard drive, is the click of death. It's happened to me before after dropping it from my desktop and I lost some files that were super important to me, so I just want to be cautious.
So, has this happened to you using this drive?
How did it happen? If so, please explain in detail!
If you have any tips on how to prevent it from happening please feel free to let me know as well!

I've had it for about 8 months now with no issues, and travel with it quite a bit, just throw it in my bag and go. It has a small indentation from something sharp (really not sure what did it) but still have no issues, so has shown reliability for me.

Does the cord provided with this product go from a 3.0 to a 3.0 or a 2.0 to a 3.0?

It's a 2.0 usb. It will work with either a 2.0 or 3.0 usb port...
