Bought a new phone and watched to get a good protector for it, since the phone cases aren't designed to do that anymore.
Def. wanted one that would protect against not only scratches, but also impacts, etc.
Yes, these protectors are expensive, but it's cheaper than replacing the screen on the phone.
Had the Geek Squad put it on for me, since I'm a klutz with putting these on devices and mange to mess it up somehow - worth the eight bucks they charged.

Needed to move data around between laptops, and while I could've done it via an external HDD, thought it would be easier to do with this transfer cable.
It was pretty easy...software that runs the cable works well, even if it may take a few minutes to understand the UI so you know which data is flowing where.
My only beef with this is the price...more than $30 for a cable you're not really going to use that often is a bit much. If you do need to move data this way, it's probably worth it for you, but I hope I don't lose this thing 10 years from now if/when I need to move data like this again.

I wanted to have the particulars of the basic MS Office products (Word, Excel, PPT, OneNote) for a single device and a FULL LICENSE...not a renewal year-over-year.
Look at the back of the product cards in the store to make sure you're getting the right version of these products for your use before you buy - with a price for this of $149.99, even with a bundle discount, it's not cheap, which costs you a star.

Was looking for a new laptop to replace one that's 7+ years old, and preferred to go with Samsung again, for various reasons.
Pros: Very light. Has a Pen/stylus built in that you can use for various touchscreen stuff. Has a higher RAM, which I like. Touchscreen/tablet capability. Reasonably uncomplicated to set up.
Cons: Price is a bit high for something that only has a 256Gb drive and total features. Actual screen design (seems to be mostly edge-to-edge, except for the bottom part of the bezel) makes it super easy to get smeary fingerprints, etc. on the screen. Webcam: Design on top of screen makes it VERY DIFFICULT to put a cover on it, because there's a 1) cam indicator light, 2) Cam, 3) face recognition sensor, 4) face recog. LED all under a tablet-grade smooth surface - it's a super-wide alignment of indicators/cameras that's difficult to cover externally.
I'd say don't buy this model without being able to physically touch it and see how it looks/feels (I bought the last one they had at the particular store after they removed the floor model and wouldn't let me look at it, blah blah) to ensure it fits your needs 100%.
The Cons I find with this model are why it loses a star for me - the Pros are why it gets to keep 4 stars.

I type A LOT for both work and gaming, and I prefer to have a keyboard that allows more hand space for me, and not the default QWERTY straight-line layout that most keyboards have. MS has changed the materials in this keyboard design over the years, but it still seems durable. Maintenance takes some care, for both the built-in wrist pads and the keys; dust & debris will get in the keys a bit easier, but taking time to clean properly will keep it in good shape. I own several of these, and their worth having.

Pretty simple what this is...a prepaid card for Steam purchases. Prefer to use these instead of having credit card info floating around online, and you can buy them whenever and bank up the money for when Steam has a sale on games.

Was looking for a new mouse pad, and this one caught my eye as I was browsing. It's a different style than one I'm used to (more of a soft fabric/rubberized combo) but I like it. Only 2 issues with it - one is the size (15"w x 12.5" h), so it could be smaller. It also picks up a lot of dust/debris, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. Other than that, a good buy for my gaming use.

Was looking to replace a mouse for my gaming setup, since I seem to be fairly heavy-handed with them and grind the pads off the bottoms. I wasn't looking to spend tons of cash, or get a mouse that I had to swap out weights and set up 14 buttons on it - I'm not a twitch gamer. I *almost* missed this mouse due to the way it was stocked on the shelves of my local store (buried in with other brands of gaming mice) and glad I was looking at the shelf as I walked past.
It was 1/2 the price of another mouse in the Corsair product line, and is perfect for my needs. Fits my hand, and I like the the wheel notch because I can rest a finger there to keep it on the wheel. I could not care at all about the color/light spot on the mouse, which is covered by my palm anyway when I have my hand on it. Give this model a try - good hand fit for larger hands, works well with the Corsair console, and is very reasonably priced for a "gaming" mouse.

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.
