Solid first mechanical keyboard for a kid. Lighting isn't as programmable as I hoped for, but it is programmable. Keyboard is also solidly built and the wrist pad makes it comfortable for longer gaming sessions. My kid likes that I can make his keyboard "Minecraft Green" for his gaming sessions, and also finds it comfortable to type schoolwork out on.

Very responsive controller, very comfortable to hold, even during longer gaming sessions. Works very well with Windows 10, Windows 11, and Mac computers. The only drawback with these is you may have issues with the PDP Hub software for them, but I believe that's more of a programming issue than a hardware issue. Works well enough that I bought two of them and retired my old wired go-tos from a major manufacturer of mice and keyboards - press F for respect.

Solid choice for smaller desks. Doesn't easily move. Surface works terrifically with all mice, not just gaming mice (tested with various gaming and non-gaming mice). Even if you're not a gamer, this is a great option if you want a nice mousepad.

Sound mount as long as you have the place for it. Assembled easily, disassembles easily as well should you need to move. Stays put once installed. My problem is the desk we got my kid couldn't fit this, so I did have to return it. Otherwise, I recommend this for anyone who wants their monitor mounted and needs the desk space back.

Protect the device that controls your favorite streaming services with the Insignia NS-HATV6RC Apple TV Remote Cover. Made with soft silicone materials, it safeguards against everyday dirt and withstands drops up to 4 ft. Thin and lightweight, it also has precise cutouts, so you’ll never have to sacrifice convenience for protection. Compatible with Siri Remote (2nd generation) or Apple TV Remote (2nd and 3rd generation) from Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD, providing secure protection that easily slips on and off. A matte black color keeps the original look of your remote, leaving that sleek black color intact. Keep your entertainment protected with covers that won’t get in the way of functionality.

There are some fitment issues that can be overcome with a little heat and perseverance, but otherwise it gives you a better grip on the remote than without the sleeve on it.

This is definitely the remote that Apple should have made when they made the original Siri Remote for the Apple TV 4. It's much more solid in the hand, nowhere near as fragile, and the dedicated TV power button and side-mounted Siri button fit in much better than with the older design. I could even say it's the remote Apple should have made with the Apple TV 1, 2, and 3, as it's also much more substantial than the original plastic and aluminum remotes from 2006 and 2010, respectively.
The only problem is no remote finder feature, but that would also be difficult to use as the Apple TV units themselves have no buttons on them.

This is just a quick review.
The Dynex 2.4 amp USB wall outlets won't be the fastest way to charge your phone, tablet, or other accessories, but it's a super-convenient way to do so. On top of phones and tablets, you can also connect USB-powered lighting, smart speakers Qi charging pads, fans, toys and even USB-powered retro-consoles. Things plugged into the regular AC outlets also generally don't block the USB ports, meaning you can connect your phone and smart speaker while powering a fan and a lamp.
Just make sure you're familiar with how wiring works if you buy these, because you are replacing wall outlets with them. If you're not familiar or comfortable with working with wiring, then please hire an electrician to install these for you.
(Please note that my "ease of use" score is based on actually using these and not the installation.)

TL;DR - So I purchased the Mount-It! dual monitor desk stand because I needed a little more desk space and I wanted my monitors to sit higher for comfort reasons. In both regards, it works. It holds both of my Asus 23" monitors (VS238-HP and VS239-HP) effortlessly, but I wouldn't go with screens much heavier than those because, as others have mentioned, the base is too light for the application. There is a clamping option that allows you to install the mount over a smaller grommet, though I'd recommend just drilling a hole through your desktop if you want to go this route. All in all, a good but not amazing mount, and if the mounting holes for your screens are even just a little off from each other, you will notice it.
----------------------------------------------
Unboxing and assembly:
The mount comes in a plain cardboard box. Everything is packaged in a way that it shouldn't get damaged in transit. The only things you'll need that don't come in the package are a small screwdriver (#0 I believe) and a regular-sized screwdriver (#2), both Philips head. It does come with the necessary hex wrenches for the base screws and the height adjustment screw.
Assembly is straight-forward - install the mounting plates on the back side of your monitors, assemble the stand (making sure that the screws are as tight as possible, mount your monitors (making sure that you screw down the plastic retainers, especially if you're going to use screens in portrait mode), and hook everything up. If you're only using one computer with your monitors, the wire management should be sufficient; if you have multiple systems, you might have problems where not all the cables can be held by the cable management.
----------------------------------------------
Usage:
The bolts on the arms for the mount are tight from the factory, so it'll take a little effort to move your screens around. However, when you find the right spot for them, you'll know it. Also, with both monitors installed, the vertical adjustment can be a little cumbersome. Good thing screens are easily removable.
Rotating your screens is rather effortless. Just make sure that you have clearance as you rotate your screens.
Also, keep in mind that the higher your screens are, the higher the center of balance is, and therefore the easier it is to tip the monitor stand and screens over.
----------------------------------------------
Issues:
The base and I have some problems, but nothing that can't be addressed in future versions of this mount. I wanted to place my sound bar on it so it's directly under my monitors instead of under a shelf. Because of the curved shape of the base, I had to abandon that idea. At some point, I may fabricate a mounting solution for my sound bar that attaches to the base somehow. Until then, I put little rubber feet on the bottom of it and that's enough to keep it in place.
It's also too light for larger screens. While I'm not getting 27 inch or ultra-wide displays anytime soon, I feel a pair of 27 inch displays or a mix and match with an ultra-wide will end badly for this mount. With that larger, flatter base, an addition of 5 or 10 pounds (~2 to ~4,5 kg) would make a world of difference.
----------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
If you need a dual monitor mount and cost is a concern, you can't really go wrong with the Mount-It! dual monitor mount. Just make sure you have a truly matching pair of monitors, otherwise the difference in mount points will be glaringly obvious.

So it's 2 of the greatest 3D Mario games of all time and the most underrated 3D Mario game of all time, all on one cartridge. If you already have all three games on their native* systems, you'll only want to get this because you'll be more easily able to take those games with you. If you've never played these before, it's worth picking up because all three are very fun and very, very deep in terms of the play through (though the storylines remain the whole "Mario saves the day" thing, as with the greater majority of Mario games).
Graphics are ripped directly from the respective versions of these games, as are frame rates. While there are patches out there for those who run these in emulation to increase the quality of textures, the frame rates in Sunshine (frame locked to 30fps) and Mario 64 (which often runs at less than 30 fps), and to make Mario 64 into a widescreen game, Nintendo chose to ignore all of that and keep it original. I actually do appreciate this, but I know some fans are disappointed by no HD touchups.
The biggest area of improvement for all three games is audio. Playing with my home theater receiver doing the audio instead of my TV's speakers, all 3 games had accurate 5.1 channel surround sound. The soundtracks for all three games being accessible as an extra is a nice bonus - especially Super Mario Galaxy's fully-orchestrated score.
All in all, this is worth getting if you don't already have these games or you want to be able to take them with you on the go. Also, as a collector edition thing (because this is going away at the end of March), this is a cart that will only go up in value.

does this tablet support 2.4/5Ghz Wifi?

Yes it does, using the wireless N standard. But the connection is slow and 5 GHz can be finicky, even in the same room as the router.

Has anyone been able to get this device to successfully execute Switchmate commands? I can't.

Switchmate has made some changes to how their stuff works, so it now works through Google Assistant rather than saying "Hey Google, talk to Switchmate..." You'll need a Switchmate Power or Switchmate Zip if you currently only have the Switchmate switch modules though, as Google Assistant can't connect directly to the switch devices through Bluetooth. Switchmate Power and Switchmate Zip both function at WiFi to Bluetooth bridges for the Switchmate system.

I have two Switchmate Power outlets in my home because of range issues, along with 7 of the Switch modules in various locations.
