Unfortunately. at least once a day, the mouse "freezes" and will not move the cursor. If I tap it on the pad, it might work temporarily but then freezes again. Another tap and it might work fine the rest of the day.

I used this to back up file from my Windows 7 computer in preparation for my transition to a new Windows 10 computer. I chose solid state because it will not likely ever fail like older disc drives can and eventually do. This was easy to use and is very small and light. The short USB cord might be a problem in some applications, especially with towers. It shouldn't be a problem with laptops.

I bought this to back up files from my soon to be obsolete Windows 7 computer. I chose solid state because it won't likely fail in my lifetime. Simple to use. The only minor complaint is that the type C USB cord is too short to be of much use; it would leave the device dangling from my tower. Probably OK if you are using it with a laptop. That is a minor complaint as it is very small and light.

I have this device hooked up to 2 TVs. One is 1080P, the other is 4K. I was concerned that it might not work because of the "hand shake" required between 2 different formats. Not to worry; it works perfectly in this application. The only thing I notice is that it will temporarily (a few seconds) lose connection if I turn on the second set while the other is on. This is not a real problem and is to be expected while it connects to the second set. It works perfectly in my application. Highly recommended if you have a need to split your HDMI device.

This is an overall good movie with a good story-line but the audio is not up to the rest of the movie. Practically all of the audio comes from the center channel with no really enveloping sound. This is a dialog driven movie but there was plenty of opportunity to use the surrounds to give a sense of spaciousness to the great outdoor scenes. Even the front L?R channels were used minimally.

This is the 3rd of these I have installed. They are very well constructed and include all the hardware needed. They are far less than the competition and at least equal in quality to the more expensive brands.

I've never been a fan of musicals but this movie was highly recommended. The song and dance scenes were very well done and, at times, jaw dropping. The real story was about the humility and abuse suffered by those who are "different" and how we can do a better job of accepting them as fellow humans. Great message!

Although a little slow at times, this is a true account of a challenge to the freedom of the press. It happened in many of our lifetimes and is of great historical importance as well as relevant to current times. This is a ell done movie that is also a good history lesson.

This movie has it all. Not only does it look at the achievement of putting a man on the moon, it also puts it in the historical perspective of what was going on in the U. S. and the world at the time. The personal and national sacrifices are brought to the forefront and balanced with believable action scenes. This is an extremely well done movie. I watched this in both DolbyVision and HDR 10. Both were more grainy than I expected but I suspect that was the producers intent. Overall the detail , contrast and color were outstanding. A must see for history and space buffs!

I am looking for a Sirius unit that I can connect with my home Yamaha receiver so that I can use my speakers. Which model do you recommend? I already have Sirius in my car.
Most Sirius/XM receivers can be used as a home unit connected to a home receiver. Depending on what the sirius receiver came with, you may need a 1/8" mini-jack to RCA stereo cable and a power supply that can adapt to your Sirius receiver. The car adapter plugs into a 12 volt power port that can be plugged into your homes power outlet. The 1/8" to RCA cable goes from the Sirius receiver to a stereo input on your home receiver. I'm using one this way and it works fine. You will also need an antenna that you can use indoors. There may be a home kit that contains all you need depending on which Sirius/XM receiver you buy.

I am splitting from a FireStick to a projector and a TV. Would I get audio on both devices or just image?
The splitter puts out both audio and video from both HDMI out ports. I have mine hooked up to 2 TVs and both get audio and video. If i am watching on one TV and turn on the other. there will be a short (few seconds) loss of connection while the other connection is made.Then both work at once with no degradation of signal.
