One of those things you hope you never need. But when you purchase an expensive gaming monitor, it gives me a bit of reassurance.

I got my first Desktop in 10 years of laptop use and realized I didn't have a SD Card Reader anymore.
This reader, when plugged into a USB 3 slot is super fast and easy. I take hundreds of pictures at my daughters games and it downloads them all very fast.
There were some more expensive, but I cannot justify them with this readers performance.

One of the most Hyped Games of the year. I was very disappointed. It is a decent game, but the mechanics were poor and the storyline left some to be desired.

I purchased this to use while gaming. I got a LOT of complaints form people on the other end that I was broadcasting static and they could barely hear me. I ended up spending a little bit more and got a different microphone that works much better.

I work in the middle of a large metal building w/many walls, which makes the company wifi signal very weak in my office. Can I use this to connect the ethernet cable for my computer, then add another router to provide a strong wifi signal in my office?
It should not be an issue to connect a long Ethernet cable to the switch to get a route to your computer. However, if you can get the cable all the way to your computer you would be better off

Control Standard Edition - Xbox One
From the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake comes Control, a third-person action-adventure game combining Remedy's trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities, giving the player the ability to approach each situation in their own way. Control is set in a unique ever-changing world, juxtaposing the strange and unpredictable with the mundane. A supernatural enemy has taken possession, and you must use your unique abilities to take back Control. Welcome to the Federal Bureau of Control.
Why no release date when the release date was announced for August 27 2019. That is from multiple sources.
Does it really matter if the release day on the web site is updated right away when the release is still four month away.

Does this product support Xbox one
There are models that support the various platforms. However, they should all have a 3.5mm jack. But I do not think you get top end sound quality via the 3.5mm.

does anyone know when the iphone xr will go on sail monthly with verizon?
Your best bet is to bookmark it and check back from time to time. It goes on sale sporadically. Your next best bet will be Memorial Day
