Good keyboard but it's on the expensive side. My 2 biggest complaints would be that:
1. There are no legs or risers. I think that should be standard issue at this price point.
2. Drivers. The driver software is easy to use but I got it for work and IT Departments policies vary so you may not be able to get the maximum out of this. I also have the MX Mouse which uses the same software but has onboard memory so I can program it at home. Still trying to figure out if that works with this. Even if it does, it's still a pain to need another computer to program. I'm not a software or hardware engineer but would think an online Logitech account could provide program-ability. Especially because the products do work with no drivers and only the unifying receiver, you just can't program on the spot...

It's a good plug, works and integrates with Homekit fine. The biggest issue I have...I don't really need it for anything; I dont have enough routines to really take advantage of it. I found some extra older under cabinet LEDs laying around so finally thought I had something good to put to use but....can't dim. Dimming would help in my instance.
Anyway, its a good product for what it is, you just may be able to put your smarthome $$ to better use.

First: I'm not buying bluetooth headphones for an "audiophile" experience. While, they get close and closer, Bluetooth and Audiophile are mutually exclusive.
So with that out of the way, the primary feature of bluetooth headphones I look for is connectivity. Battery life and comfort are also considerations.
Apple has taken bluetooth connectivity to the next level with their W1 and H1 chips. So if you're an Apple user, like me, utilizing that technology is in our best interests, IMO. But until now, none of their earphones looked remotely normal (sorry Airpods, you may have good sound and the technology but you look absurd).
These also sound fine which believe it or not, is a compiment because so many wireless and especially truly wireless, are more offensive sounding than "good enough for me".
If you're a non-Apple user or an Apple user that doesn't care about connectivity, there are many other truly wireless options that I'm sure you've read about...Jabra, Bose, Sennheiser, etc.
But I'm not trying to look like Frankenstein and while I wish these had a lower profile the over ear hooks provide stability that the Frankenstein earbuds don't, which is an added piece of mind, especially if using to work out.
When I heard that Airpods2 were coming out, I was hoping for a re-design but that didn't happen. And while I wish there were more H1 chip earphones to choose from (if I were Apple, I'd at least take the white version of these and turn them into Airpods Sport) these are the best I'm going to get for now.

If you’re in the Hue system this is worth for one major reason: wake up in the middle of the night to use the washroom and bathroom (hallway in my case) lights go on automatically without doing anything and without causing night to light blindness.
Only negative would be the lack of fine tuning times, you can basically only program it for one block of time. But for what I use it for, good enough for me.

The Philips Hue HDMI Sync box adds premium surround lighting to your home theater by syncing your Hue smart lights with movies, music and video games. Watch, listen and play with more wonder and excitement as your lights dance, flash, dim and brighten with your screen. Requires Hue color capable lights and a Hue Bridge (sold separately).
Does it sync with audio? Ex. If I play 'Dark Side of the Moon' through Spotify or Tidal through my AppleTV and just the album art displays on screen, what happens? What happens if I turn the TV off? Am I able to achieve peak chill vibes with audio only?

Brilliant color and high-quality details add to watching enjoyment with this Sony Blu-ray disk player.
Could an OTA antenna be connected to this via USB-Coax tuner? And then streamed to TV? I don't care about DVR features, I want antenna in a more suitbale location for reception and then streamed to TV. That's all I want.

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
Any features outside of the gradient that makes this worth 3 times the cost of the Lightstrip+ $70? I’m thinking it may just be better to buy three of those and do whatever I wish around the TV.
