I was looking to get a RGB keyboard because I needed blue light to match my build.
Pros:
Love the wrist rest
Great Placement for the USB port
Great lighting and software (a little overkill in my opinion)

Cons:
Mushy keys that make you feel bad when pressing
Different keys had different "silent" key press sounds, I even think that one of the keys had dirt suck deep inside it that made it make a grinding sound upon press (took it off and tried to clean to no improvement)
Fingers slipped on the keys a bit and the awsd keys that came to change out were angled and uncomfortable (because it felt like my fingers where sliding down a slope towards the middle)

Overall not a bad keyboard just not very good. Maybe I just got a defective on who knows. I ended up getting the Razer - BlackWidow Chroma RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Love that keyboard even though it isn’t very quiet. Won't see me going back.

Great Modem, Not Such a Great Router
on April 7, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Short Review: Great Modem for those that have Comcast internet and phone with them. Works well as a modem and stops the inhuman $12 charge per month of rent for one. Notice how I said great modem. The WiFi is complete rubbish that comes out of it, have 150 Mbps blast speed and was getting around 25-40. Also the range is very bad on that WiFi signal (was dropping down to 1-2 bars 20 feet away). Would recommend putting the Modem in Bridge mode and getting a solid router. I now average 170~ Mbps using the Modem in bridge mode and using an Asus - WirelessAC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Router. Would recommend to get rid of the monthly charge.

This keyboard is bloody amazing, great key response and feel. I really needed to get a RGB keyboard because my build theme is blue and very few keyboards were offered in that color. I first gave Corsair - Strafe RGB MX Silent Gaming Keyboard a go but I hated it. Keys had different sounds depending on which ones I pressed (different mashy sounds) and the keys felt mushy and unresponsive. The keyboard is the opposite and I have been in love since day three. The reason for that is one of the two problems that I had with it. The 5 keys on the left of the keyboard felt out of place because I was used to having my hand placement all the way to the corner and not a bit to the right. The first 2 days I hit one of the side keys more often than not trying to hit shift or tab. I adjusted slowly and now it doesn't bother me, something to keep in mind though. The other problem is the placement of the USB port on the keyboard. It is on the left side of the keyboard where the mouse is, if you put anything in there other than a wireless dongle then you could have a big problem with the mouse and the wire coming out of it.
This is still probably the best RGB keyboard around and I love it. Recommend.

I always used my older router without thought of how its outdated tech was hindering my Wi-Fi speeds. I downloaded a free speed test app on my phone and it showed that I was only getting around 25 Mbps when I was supposed to be getting 150 (have blast speed with Comcast). When I got this router, my Wi-Fi speed jumped to 150-170 Mbps and the range improved from a 1-2 bar to full 3 everywhere in the house. Would greatly recommend to anyone that is need of an upgrade.

I have an expensive car audio system so I needed something that was of quality. This cord delivers the sound excellently and should last a good long time (I've tried a few cords already and this sounded the best).

Doesn't Work Well With Android 6.0
on April 6, 2016
Posted by: Broadsmith
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to love the Fitbit until my Nexus 6 got the new 6.0 Android update. After that my Fitbit has refused to sync with the app as well as with the wireless dongle to the computer. The step counting is fairly accurate but the heartrate is not the best, can be 5-10 beats off when exercising. If you aren't doing strenuous activities, then this should be accurate enough. I don't believe that Apple users have this syncing problem so if you have one then go on right ahead and get one. However, if you’re in the 6.0 leagues then I would suggest you do some more research. Also you have to have location services on in the Android 6.0 for the Fitbit to sync which is a great disappointment. Hope this review helps somewhat.

Always have a light on hand with this Secur SP-1002 solar LED flashlight, which features a design waterproof up to 45' and built-in power sources that eliminate the need for new batteries or bulbs.

Super cool flashlight, waterproof and can get power from the sun as well as from your hand. Seems durable and sealed well, will be taking this camping next week and it will be put to the test. If it disappoints me, I will change my review. If that doesn't happen then you know it has survived "the test".

I don't get the recommended speeds that It offers, but then again I wasn't getting it exactly for the speed. This review is based on price per performance and it sure takes the pot. Got this sucker on sale for $9.99.
