Bought this for coverage for my new Jabra 75t earbuds, just in case something happens to them.
Nothing may happen to them, but they're not cheap and I'd prefer to take care of my tech gear rather than not.

Bought these due to the work-from-home remote world and needing something that isn't wired so I can move around when I'm on a call.
It does take time to set these up via the Jabra app, but it's worth doing to get all the settings just the way you like them.
They seem to hold a charge for quite a while - realize you'll be charging the case to charge the earbuds, so don't lose the case!
This is one generation older than the more recent earbuds from Jabra (my local store was sold out), but I have no complaints and they do exactly what I need them to do.
Realize there's a "sport" version of these if you need waterproofing, so pay attention to what version you're getting if that's what you need.

This is basically the card that you use in-store (or online) to buy the basics of MS Office. You'll have to do a digital download either via email, or by going to the MS website and keying the code in.

This was a present for family, so they'd have the MS Offices basics on their laptop. If you're only needing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, then this is for you. This is also the full price purchase version, not the "rent-to-own" version where you pay for it monthly.

I needed an "easel" style phone charger so I could read my phone while it was charging and I was doing other things. I didn't see any other brands that I though might work for my S10+, so this was a "pandemic purchase" to get the equipment.
Pros: It's "official" Samsung gear, so no worries about issues charging you Samsung device on it. Simple to operate, and also looks nice as well.
Cons: This is WAY overpriced, and the USB-C cable is EXTREMELY SHORT for what you get...it severely limits where you can put this in relation to the plug & outlet.
Controls for the fan only work with certain Samsung devices, so if you're buying it for that, make sure you read up on which Samsung product (the Note?) controls its addtl. features.

Needed a new gaming mouse pad, and found this one at the local BB store.
It was a touch smaller than what I wanted (same size as 6 Galaxy S10+ in a 3x3 array), but it fits very nicely on my gaming desk and is large enough for a spazz gamer like me.
Note - it's rolled up pretty tight in the box, so you're going to need to take it out and let it lay flat (preferable with some weight on 2 of the corners) so it fully smooths out and doesn't curl on 2 edges.

Randomly found this item on a trip to BB for other items. It was an Open Box product (nothing wrong with it, apparently someone didn't like it) and the Open Box price was MUCH BETTER than the regular price for the product.
It's the "Insignia" brand, and comes in a nice case with all the parts put into foam to hold them in place, along with a color-coded world map and instructions.
You'll have everything you need to get power from an outlet as you travel the world, but only 1 outlet, so you're likely going to need more adapters to power more tech.
If you can find it at a better price at BB, and have need for the product, I'd advise checking it out.

Use this as my work mouse, since I have to do a lot of clicking every hour as I work.
Much easier on my hands than a traditional mouse, and this is at a decent price point as well. (There are more expensive ones at Best Buy if you want to spend more).
They changed the branding a bit on it, but still the same device.
My previous one lasted ~4 years, but the buttons finally wore down after hard use in an office environment, so I feel I got my money's worth, and it's why I purchased the same one as a replacement.

Was more than happy to pay the minor fee to have someone install the Zagg screen protector on my new phone. I'm a klutz and never manage to install them properly, then it freaks out my OCD.
Cost was great, and it took less than 15 mins. to get it done. Would do this again for devices when I need a screen protector installed.

Wanted to get an OtterBox with my new G S10+, and this was a good option for both protection, and to not have to pay for the belt holster, which I never use. (If you want that holster, there are other cases that come with it.)
Putting it together was more complicated than it needed to be, since the case has two components to it, and the instructions are minimal. Don't be a typical bro and just slam the phone into it...the 2 pieces separate out and are nested inside each other, and so it fits properly to leave an opening for the ports/speaker on the bottom of the phone. (Probably vids online that show how to assemble properly.)
The opening on the back is well suited for the camera ports there, and the covers for the headphone jack/charging port are a bit odd looking, but protect both.
If you really want to protect your phone, OtterBox is the way to go in my opinion...worth the price for the peace of mind and device protection.

Can this cord be used to hook up a sound bar to a movie projector?

This is a data transfer cable...you're going to need a regular connection cable, unless you're moving some type of files between a sound bar and a movie projector?
There's way better, and much better priced, cables for hooking up a sound bar to a movie projector.

Why is the cord only 4 feet?? That's almost too short to be practical.

If 4' of keyboard cable is too short for you, then you can buy cable extenders to add more length.
Depending on how much length you need and what you're using the keyboard for, you might want to go wireless instead.

Mechanical key switches and 18 fully programmable G-keys make this CORSAIR K95 RGB gaming keyboard an asset in any virtual world.
 

Which switch for the K95 is the QUIETEST? Not a gamer but i do lots of typing. Thank you

From what I've seen in the industry standards, your Cherry MX Blue and Brown would be the loudest, with your MX Red being quieter.
However, this is relative to an individual, and there are benefits/drawbacks to the keypress timing, etc. between the different switches.
I honestly recommend you try the various types out and see what works for you.

Also - be careful between keyboard manufacturers...some of them like to call "their" switches different things than the industry "standard", thus confusing the customer even more.

I believe they're listed w/o the wrist rest attached. It's not terribly large and adding to the depth of the keyboard. I personally use it because I'm typing a fair amount in the games I'm in.

The pictures for this keyboard shows two different gray keycap set ups. Does the keyboard come with these textured keycaps and you can choose to put them in or not? I would like WASD textured the way one picture shows.

Yes. It has a shrink-wrapped set of the extra grey keys that you can optionally choose to put on the keyboard, if you wish.
