So, if you have a mini-display port ot Thunderbolt 2 port on one device & an HDMI port on the other, this is what you need to make it work. And it does work, which is about all one can expect from a cable! This is also fairly thin & flexible which is a nice added bonus, so I gave it the full 5 stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What can I say? It's a cable. There really isn't a good reason to spend big bucks on a name brand cable when there's affordable alternatives that do the same job to the same standards.

I started a real estate & architectural photography business about 8 months ago. One goal is to show as much of a room in a single photo as possible, and this requires an Ultra-wide zoom lens with a focal length of 17mm or less. I have tried several lenses meeting this criteria, lenses from Canon, Tamron and even an Olympus MFT lens of nearly identical specs (translated to MFT format, of course) and the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 is by far the best of the bunch. About the only improvement it could use is image stabilization, then it would have everything. But I shoot nearly 100% on a tripod, so I don't really need it. Most of the lenses in this focal length have big bulbous front elements, which have a few disadvantages including unwanted lens flare. This is where the Nikon amazes the most. It does flare a little when the sun is in the shot or slightly outside, but the others flare far more & far more easily. The Olympus is the worst in this aspect, it gave me flares from interior lights, making the whole shoot look like a JJ Abrams film. None of the others did this.
The Canon 11-24 f4 is it's only worthy competition, but the corresponding Canon cameras are not as capable as my Nikon D810, so at $2700 ($1000 more than the Nikon 14-24), it's ultimatly a lesser package.
These lenses aren't for everyone. They take terrible snapshots & portraits, and require a but of knowledge in order to keep perspective distortions at bay due to the wide angles, but if you have the need, you cannot go wrong with this lens.

Sure, it's a gaming mouse, but I bought it because I needed a comfortable accurate mouse with programmable function buttons to speed up my Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop workflow. This does all of that, plus I can adjust accuracy & speed of the mouse on the fly through 2 of those buttons! This mouse is one of my favorite tools!
It's not Bluetooth, so it needs a usb receiver to be plugged in to the computer, but the connection is far more stable than BT. It never disconnects unless the batteries die.

could this adapter display my xbox one screen to the imac? I bought my computer yesterday 21 inch imac.

Probably not, but it's because the iMac doesn't allow external sources.

Cable won't work on MacBook or Mini Mac.

I am trying to run video throughout the cable from my Thunderbolt port. Cable won't work on my Macbook Pro, or my MiniMac. I have tried to hook it up to an HDTV and to an HD projector. Neither will work with this cable. Am I doing something wrong?
I use mine on both a 2014 & a mid 2012 MacBook Pro & it works fine. Those cover both Thunderbolt 1 & Thunderbolt 2. Perhaps you got a faulty cable?

Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens - Black
This camera lens features a 5.8x zoom for enhanced clarity and sharpness. The Nikon Silent Wave Motor enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocus.
 

Can this lens be used with the D750? It's not in the list of compatible cameras in the specs section.

This lens is drsigned for Nikon's FX cameras, and that is what the D750 is. Chances are that the D750 is just a newer product than the literature you have seen, and it hasn't been updated.

Can you use this mouse to perform multiple keystrokes, like I would use this for cad software, could I tell it to do T+R+Enter+Enter

Yes you can! I use the buttons on mine to perform keystroke funtions in Adobe products. My workflow increased so dramatically that I'm buying a new computer because I'm now too fast for my MacBook Pro. I'm very happy with it.
