I have been frustrated for years by not being able to successfully run speaker wire across my living room to the rear speakers. I tired several other options, some that were pretty expensive, and they really did not perform nearly what I could get with speaker wire. Meaning I would hook up one rear wireless and the other to wire.
Then I picked up the Rocketfish Wireless Rear Speaker kit. It sends a wi-fi signal that is superior in quality. I first test it up by hooking it to a portable radio speaker out puts and it sounded much better than the radio speakers.
Setting this up was very easy. There is a handy volume knob on the back of the receiver to adjust the level.
As a troubleshoot. When hooked it up there was not sound. I had to go into my receivers menu and set it for 5.1 output. It had been set for 2.1
I am strongly considering getting a new receiver now that is 7.1 and getting a second Rocketfish Wireless Receiver Kit for that.

The design is nice and makes for a good set up. However, I purchased this to use in voice chat in Video Games. I quite often get complaints from other gamers that I need to get a new microphone. The sound quality on the other end is very poor.

I had debated going ultra wide or large dual monitors. I ended up going dual as I use them for work as well and it is more functional to dock windows in separate screens. For home use I use them principally for gaming. Colors are bright and vivid and response times are so fast I cannot notice any issues. The controls on back are placed a little cumbersome but once you get your monitor adjusted you won't a have an issue. The monitor is G-Sync and FreeSync compatible which will optimize your gaming experience. I ran a game simultaneously on another high end Dell monitor that is not IPS or HDR and while it still looked good on the other monitor it was dramatically better on this monitor.

I purchased a new monitor and received a free 30 day trial to HBO. There is no better way to see of something like HBO is right for you.
It was easy to create an HBO account and add the promo code.
Just be aware that you will need to create your HBO account with a valid Credit Card and HBO will charge you for a subscription after your 30 days are over.

I purchased this very fast USB Type C flash drive to plug into the back of my new computer tower to function as a back up device for my essential files. And for this it is perfect.
Before using it for that I used it to transfer my digital music and photo libraries from my old computer to my new. It transferred so fast I had thought there must have been an error.
SanDisk is a USB/SD brand I trust and keep going back to.

Best Buy carries several brands of high end gaming keyboards. My local store has a display of each of them that you can interact with. I purchased this one based on SteelSeries reputation and how the keys felt.
There are many great features about the Apex Pro but arguably key switches is the most important. The Apex Pro has an app included that allows you to manage the switches and customize switch sensitivity to your preference. Each gamer has their own preference and this keyboard adjusts to you.
The app also assists you in creating custom macros for a higher end gaming experience and I really enjoy the ability to create custom RGB color schemes.
The second most significant thing, but really just as important as the switches is how comfortable it is to use for long term gaming. the magnetically detachable wrist rest is very comfortable and sloped just right for my sitting position. I tried a different keyboard based on a strong recommendation and it was quickly apparent that it was not going to be comfortable.
There is a built in roller on the keyboard that will allow you to change your profiles with a simple roll.
You can also adjust volume, rewind video, adjust brightness all from the keyboard.
The three way cable routing allows you to have the cable laid out the direction that is best for you.
You can adjust the illumination for each key and store it to a profile.
it also has a USB port
My final thought on this keyboard is that it is built for serious gaming and is suitable for all other uses.

In the real world electronics break down and need repair. Manufacturers warranty only cover so much. I always purchase Geek Squad Service with every expensive electronic device and I keep buying from Best Buy because of the service. I have not used the service very often, but it is a significant relief to have it when I have had it.
I had an expensive laptop that quit working. They sent it in for service and I got it back with 100% functionality.
Just be aware you need to set up an appointment with Geek Squad before bringing your item it. The appointment system is also a serious positive game changer.
Not all products or services can be accomplished in house and may be sent to Best Buys Service Center and it may take several weeks if they don't have the parts on hand.

Respond quickly to on-screen action with this large Logitech gaming mousepad. The heat-treated cloth surface is smooth with just the right amount of friction for rapid direction changes and small, precise movements. This low-profile Logitech gaming mousepad has a stable rubber backing to prevent unwanted slipping and bunching during game play.

First thing to be aware of is that this pad is large. I had been using a regular mouse pad for years and never realized how much I was missing by not having a high quality gaming pad. It has made my work flow and gaming experience significantly better.
It has done this by allowing me to use my mice with more minute movements. I use it for both my work and gaming mice and it has improved performance of both.
I was a little put off by how large it is at first. But I find that I end up using most of that space by not having to move my mouse back to the pad.

I purchased this MacBook for my daughter for her first year of college. At the title of this review indicates it is very good on battery management and a full charge can last a long time, depending on type of use. It quickly and easily connects up to my home network and my network enabled printer.
It is very light weight and easy to take with you. I would suggest a sleeve for a better grip and Apple Care for peace of mind.

Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is the next generation of our bestselling Floodlight Cam. Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring App to see what’s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to. It also comes with a free 30-day trial of Ring Protect Plus, so you can review, save and share all your Ring videos at anytime, with anyone.
 

Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification?

You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled.
Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices.
I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door.

If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time.
What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert.
That might get annoying but it is an option.

Yes it does. It is on the bottom.

Using the app on your phone you can even draw in a rudimentary fashion the zone it will detect in.

From what I see on the App you can set the Linked devices to react when the Motion sensor on the Camera Flood detects movement. I speculate you can have all ring lights in and around your house light up when it detects motion.

I have one flood with a camera and another without, on either side of the garage. The one with the camera is near my front door.

I have it set if something enters the sensor from the one without the camera it will light up both and start video on the other, and light up the Ring bulb I have next to my door.

I am thinking about installing this as my main entry way lighting. Is there an option to use the floodlight feature alone without video?

I do not think there is an option for not using video. I just looked at my app and could not see an option.

However, if you don't want video you can purchase the Floodlight with motion sensor for a lot less.

I installed one of each.
