Stop replacing batteries all the time. This charge kit replaces the regular batteries. You can charge it while playing. Modern controllers also power your gaming headsets and vibrate. Energy consumption is higher so this is a great fit.

I purchased this for use with an Xbox One S. I was concerned that running it through the controller would deplete the battery quickly. While it does require more charging you can charge the controller while using it. Sound quality is good but not great and my daughter says players sometimes have a hard time hearing her. After a couple hours of gaming it does get a little uncomfortable. Overall it is a really good budget gaming headset.

I purchased this headset for use while working at home for video meetings computer phone calls. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable for long term wearing but it actually is not uncomfortable The microphone is responsive and the audio is crisp and clear. I also use it for listening to music while I work and the sound quality is good. I think it would also work very well for home gaming as well.

Doom has a long history that helped define the genre. The graphics engine is spectacular but I feel the story line is weak. There really is not a lot of finesse to game play and the scenarios tend to get repetitive. The multiplayer H2H aspect was a little clunky and could use refinement. I would still recommend playing it but my expectations were to high for it.

This was automatically added to my printer purchase and I had it removed at the register. I did not want to receive automatic ink replacements and be charged for them.

This game was a lot of fun, great graphics, and one of the very few times I didn't turn off the music. However, this game could greatly benefit from a Fast Travel option. The game does get pretty repetitive in that your quite often doing the same parkour tricks quite often and you tend to go from point A to B to C etc. Certainly not open world. And the game is short, I did all missions and finished in about 21 hours. If it had not been for the ability to skip cut scenes it would have added about 4 to 5 hours.

I have wanted a color laser at home for some time but they were so very expensive. When my ink jet printer quit working I found this printer on sale. What a great value. I don't print photos anymore so this is a perfect fit. It is fully network capable. I can copy, scan direct to my computer, and as a bonus I can print from my phone or from my work to the printer using a email address that belongs to the printer. The only drawback is that it is cumbersome when trying to change paper sizes and selecting from a specific tray.

As with almost all Apple products they are well built and have a very high quality of sound. However, as with all Apple products they are expensive. I would suggest also getting a carrying case that can attach to a back pack or something.

When I asked for a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter the words VGA confused the young associate but he found what I needed.
Super easy, just plugged it in, attached my monitor, and adjusted the display setting on my computer

Dell - S2721DGF 27" Gaming IPS QHD FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible monitor with HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Accent Grey
Delve deep into your favorite games with this Dell 27 QHD gaming monitor with stunning colors and vivid visuals. Boasting a 27" screen, this Dell gaming monitor delivers swift and responsive gameplay thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate and a true 1ms response time. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatability and AMD FreeSync Technology minimize stuttering and screen tearing for smooth graphics. Equipped with adjustable features to let you customize your gaming setup for optimum comfort and visibility
Being that this monitor has holiday return period through Jan 16, if I get a bad panel with dead pixels or noticeable "dirty screen effect", can I exchange it with Best Buy or would I have to go through Dell?
Sad to hear that. I have 2 of them and they are beautiful
You should have returned it the day you opened it. If your monitor shows signs of abuse or damage they do not have to take it back. You may want to simply contact Dell. Their customer service is the stuff of legend. At least in my experience
Did you purchase them while the holiday return period was in effect?

In the info it says you can customize the pressure needed for activation on every key. Is this actually noticeable?
Yes you can distinguish the difference when changing the actuation.
However the default is already very good and I have just left it where it was out of the box.
On the other hand if you were to go and change 3 or 4 keys and have someone else tell you which were changed I doubt if they could tell the difference.

I seek five (5) speakers with volume control pots on each speaker.
I have a client that has 5 rooms each needs a speaker. Something small and clear sounding.
It will not need alot of power because it will never be played at higher levels. It needs to be equipped with a volume control. Anyone know of a solution to this ?

The only thing I can think of is a Sonos sytem or similar. I have Sonos in my house. great sound. It can be set up so each speaker, or set up speakers can be individually controlled or all at once. However, you would adjust volume from a phone or table.

Which Bose system is best for music only, not home theater
Tough question to answer. Bose makes some of the best sounding systems in the world. However, most of them are designed for home theater, or portable such as with a phone. The Bose Wave Soundtouch is designed to just deliver muic and radio. I was in just such a market last fall and settled on the Sonos system. Incredible sound and easy to use in multi room

What speakers for pre-wired family room
You would be best off going into a Magnolia store and asking. You will need the specifications of your receiver to properly match speakers to its impedance.

Is this system good to go, with receiver and all cables necessary to operate it?
The system is designed for computers. No receiver. The sub is also the amp for the 5 satellite speakers. But it does have all the cables necessary for computer set up.

How far can these speakers be apart? I’m looking for 1 system that can play the same music in different rooms on the same floor level.
This system will not cut it for that. It is actually designed for computer gaming. I would strongly suggest looking at a Sonos system.

Can I replace the receiver with one that is 4k compatible?
The system is designed for computers. The sub woofer is also the amplifier. There is no hdmi input. You would be better of with a 4k receiver and speakers designed for that
