ADS-MRR and ADS-MRR2 compatible radio replacement harness for select Mazda vehicles 2004-2021. The radio side of the harness terminates in a universal connector that can be used in conjunction with available Maestro Head unit adapters for a plug n play solution or removed for conventional connections.
Not suggested for a Miata MX5

The pinout isn't all correct for a Mazda MX5. I couldn't dim the radio by turning on headlights, so the auto dimming functionality was lost on the head unit I bought. For context, I was installing this in a NC2 with Bose. I called idatalink and told them after taking it out and looking at it again it was missing the illumination pin, and they told me that despite spending $200+ on the RR, this harness, and the Kenwood specific adapter harness, I would need to tap the illumination wire from the Kenwood harness and then tap it into the factory harness myself. Granted, if I hadn't needed to it would have made everything plug and play and mostly easy, but if I'm tapping one wire I might as well just build the whole thing. For some reason my Kenwood radio also lost the beep functionally when using this, but those functions work when using the harness I made with the Kenwood harness and a Metra one. All in all I I ended up taking the much less expensive route of making the harness and using an ASWC-1 for steering wheel controls for way cheaper.

I purchased the RR to easily connect an aftermarket radio into a MX5. I should have read better though, as I thought it supported TPMS readout and although the PID is well known, idatalink refuses to add it. Guess I'll stick to the Torque app for that data. On that topic the gauges are neat, but they are so slow to output to the Kenwood radio that they weren't very useful for real time feedback. Setup and configuration was easy, and if I had a newer car that used all the OEM functionality I would possibly rate this higher, but the high price isn't worth what little extra it could do for me. I also had problems with the vehicle specific harness, but am not docking points on this for those issues.

Works well and allowed me adapt a DisplayPort out into HDMI, but it wasn't quite as flexible as I would have expected for how thin it is.

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I cannot recommend this RAM. I've tried two separate sticks and on both occasions they were DOA. Trying to upgrade a machine from 8GB to 16GB, and this matched the OEM specs. No reason it shouldn't work. Tested in multiple RAM slots in multiple computers to make sure the board in my laptop wasn't just bad, but no good. I'm not going to try my luck a third time so I ordered from a different brand. I've had issues with PNY customer support in the past, so I didn't even want to bother trying to reach out to them.

Full disclosure first: I only used this keyboard for a few hours before returning it. The keyboard itself has awesome build quality. A full aluminum case makes this thing a tank. I'm not sure why the USB-C connector is on the right, but I don't take any points off of it for that. The aqua switches are awesome and I loved typing on them. I wish the keyboard was hot-swap capable, since I would consider buying one just to harvest the switches off of it. So here's the reason for the four stars, and the reason I returned the keyboard: the software, at the date I used it, was garbage. First off it's a Win10 app available in the Microsoft Store. Ok, that's not the end of the world but it's not great. What is bad is that it crashed my computer. Only once, but I wasn't willing to keep it on there to see if it got better. I narrowed it down since the problem happened shortly after install, and it started off with my monitor having a visible but faint flickering any time the software was pulled up in the foreground. One crash later, and one software uninstall later, and all is good again. I considered just programming the keyboard and uninstalling the software to forget about it, but if I'm going to do that then I might as well just get a GMMK. If you don't care about the software, or if they've fixed the issue I ran into, I would totally recommend this board. The aqua switches alone are worth it.

Do you have two Cat 5e cables that are too short, but combined would make a length that would work, and you don't feel like buying another longer cable? Then this is what you need!

I've tried several mice over the years and I keep coming back to variants of this. I particularly like the shape of this mouse, and how it does not flare out again at the base. I had one of the older wired versions of this but wanted something wireless. I'm also coming from some lightweight mice around 60g, so this is a good bit heavier. Using an Energizer lithium battery instead of alkaline brings the mouse to 88g, and more importantly makes it less tail-heavy. Overall it's a great mouse with this combination. Still relatively lightweight, and 1/3 the price of the flagship ultralight wireless mice.

They're inexpensive and they work. That's about all I ask of them. You're going to be pressed to get amazing sound quality at this price point, but if you don't have speakers and just want some sound, these will do that.

The first Aerox 3 (wired) I had needed to be exchanged, because the body of the mouse was very creaky and I could engage the buttons by pressing around them on the case. I did not have this issue with the wireless Aerox 3, and it does feel slightly heftier than the wired version, though that could be placebo since it's only several grams heavier. The TrueMove Air sensor is very good, but I would not say it's better than the Core sensor used in the wired variant. I'm a somewhat low DPI player and have had no issues with tracking. Lift off distance is a bit higher than I'd like, and is not adjustable in software, but does not interfere with gameplay.
RGB customization is great through Steelseries Engine. The mouse has three zones which can be customized with effect, color, speed, and brightness, as well as a reactive layer for on-click lighting. Probably some of the best RGB in a mouse that I've used, for those of you that like that sort of thing.
There are two gripes I have with the mouse. Sometimes it will not register as being connected after waking my computer from sleep. This also happened with my wired Aerox 3, but does not happen with a Logitech mouse, so I assume it's something in the mouse firmware itself. The other problem I have with this is that it's almost twice as much as the wired version. If your use case dictates that you can switch to Bluetooth for another device and swap between them, then it probably will be awesome. I didn't have that need. The wireless dongle that is included is very responsive and introduced no latency, and the mouse was very quick to wake up from battery saving sleep, but I feel like the battery did not last nearly as long as it should even with RGB lighting set to a more aggressive battery profile (disables after a short time of non-use, and disables while mouse is moving.) Unfortunately I would say that meant I ended up using this mouse as a wired device about a third of the time I owned it, and ultimately ended up returning it for another wired version. If you really need wired, or use Bluetooth, go for it, it's a great mouse. If you don't have to have the wireless capability, then I'd suggest the wired variant instead.

Is the RGB customizeable?
Yes. The mouse has three lighting zones, and you can use the Steelseries Engine software to customize each zone individually. Color, effect, speed, and brightness are adjustable, as well as a reactive layer with additional customizable lighting upon clicking.

Logitech Wireless Combo MK320. The combo that puts entertainment and portability at your fingertips. With 11 hot keys, you’ll enjoy instant access to the things you do most. Low-profile, whisper-quiet keyboard helps make typing and surfing easy. And the mouse stores the tiny Logitech receiver, so you can take your mouse wherever you go.
Should it come with a unifying receiver? It says so on the webpage but what I got was only a nano receiver instead of the unifying receiver.
The description on the page is wrong and says it comes with a unifying receiver. The old MK320 did in fact come with one, and I have dozens of them to prove it. Unfortunately Logitech at some point decided to put a nano receiver in the MK320 now, so you can't rebind to other devices. In order to get the unifying receiver you'll need to order the MK335, which is the exact same thing but much more expensive. So yeah, they got greedy and now charge you much more money for the exact same product.
