The ROCCAT® Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse was aggressively benchmarked against market-leading symmetrically shaped mice. We wanted a design and shape that instantly felt better from the very first touch. Our aim was to have a shape that made it feel like you had nothing in your hand both in terms of a neutral shape and low weight. We wanted to do this without putting holes in the surface to cut down on mass as many competitors have done. We call it extreme lightweight engineering, and with a weight of only 68g we think the name checks out. The pride and glory of the Burst Pro is the Titan Switch Optical. The first generation of ROCCAT mice to feature the technology, the Titan Switch Optical brings game-changing benefits. Tuned for speed and durability, gamers get a familiar click feel – no learning curve – that functions at the speed of light, and with no more double-click issues. The ROCCAT® Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Pro Gaming Mouse features a striking translucent honeycomb shell that gives a smoky, hazy showcase to the AIMO lighting engine while protecting against dirt and dust. Weighing only 68g, the shell also keeps weight to an absolute minimum. As well as the Titan Switch Optical, the Burst Pro features a PhantomFlexTM cable that virtually disappears, for a near-wireless experience, and a 16K dpi Owl-Eye optical sensor. In yet another industry first, the Burst Pro features heat-treated glides that are a step above PTFE mouse feet. They are pre-tuned for incredibly smooth glide right out of the box.

My old gaming mouse was a behemoth compared to this thing. This thing probably weighs less than a feather! It is comfortable to use, and insanely customizable with the Swarm app. It is so customizable that I do not even know where to begin in customizing the mouse. That is my biggest gripe with this mouse is the user interface for the SWARM software is not very user friendly. It would be nice if they had a more intuitive GUI with more help menus to help you understand how to really fine tune this mouse. I had to google a lot to know what each setting meant because I never have had a gaming mouse with this much customizability.
Also another complaint from me is I do not like where the left side buttons are for me personally, I feel like they should've been a little higher placed. It makes some games hard to press those buttons in a flash.
But as far as functionality, weight, accuracy, and customization, this thing is great!

I use a Keurig pretty much every day (especially now in quarantine) so I was excited to finally upgrade to a newer Keurig and one with a cold brew function!! Set up of the Keurig is very simple, rinse the filter, put it in, fill the tank, turn it on and brew an empty cup of water. Can't really get easier than that.
I love how it has 4,6,8,10 and 12 oz options and my favorite, the over ice function. I love being able to brew coffee over ice now and have iced coffee. Before with other Keurig's without this function, it would just melt your ice and be luke warm and gross, but this Keurig does a fantastic job of creating the perfect iced coffee. Just fill your cup up with a generous amount of ice and go to town.
This Keurig also does a great job at extracting more flavor from your k-cups. Normal Keurigs only poke one hole in the center of a k-cup, but this one pokes 5 of them to extract more flavor and you can taste and smell it. I noticed how much more aromatic the flavor of the coffee was and how it had a more well rounded taste profile. I also love that you can change the position of the water reservoir to accommodate your needs.
All in all, this is a great Keurig with many options and is a breeze to use and operate. Definitely will be using this one for years to come!

Create healthier versions of your crispy, fried favorites with this 4.5-Qt Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer. Cook your restaurant favorites easily with the advanced digital display, simple capacitive control, convenient LED shake reminder, and 60-minute integrated timer. Clean up even quicker with the nonstick, dishwasher-safe fry basket. Cook for the whole family with the XL capacity, with the sleek square design that stores beautifully on any countertop.

I had a larger air fryer before this, but it was just so bulky and a pain to clean and was heavy. This CHEFMAN TurboFry 4.5qt air fryer is much more sleek, lightweight, and a breeze to clean up and use. I do not even use the toaster oven anymore because of this thing! Everything I put it in that needs to be crispy (fries, potato, breaded items etc.) turns out extremely crispy but soft inside.
I love how easy it is to clean this airfryer basket as well, just slip out the plate, wash it with some soap and warm water, and then rinse out the basket with the same, and you're done. It is also dishwasher safe (top rack) if you're in a hurry. The basket is very lightweight and shaped in a way where the food cooks evenly, it's not a square basket like other fryers, it is round and I love that, this allows the air to circulate evenly to give a nice crisp and even cook.
The only caveat is that there does not seem to be a power off button on this thing, it just auto goes to sleep when its not being used after a while, just a little annoying, I tend to just unplug it anyways.
All in all, a fantastic air fryer and one of the best I have used, it is no frills, easy to use, and cooks great.

If esports is everything, give it your all with the Razer BlackShark V2. Introducing a triple threat of amazing audio, superior mic clarity and supreme sound isolation. Fitted with titanium-coated drivers, a USB sound card, softer ear cushions and THX Spatial Audio, your time to turn pro is now.

I am giving this two stars because of the features it has and the comfort level of the headset. Other then that, I am very disappointed with this headset. Razer has a good reputation for making good quality gaming accessories, but they dropped the ball with this one. The headset comes with a USB sound card attachment and you can control all the settings through the Synapse app. I of course used the headphones with no EQ or settings to get a good baseline. I was very shocked to hear how lackluster the sound quality was from these. It is incredibly tinny and has an awful low end. The low end is very muddy and ruins all the mid frequencies. So I thought, maybe I should play with EQ and settings. That made it WORSE. I swear, I played with every setting possible to try to get a decent sound and nothing worked. I consider myself an audiophile and love reviewing headsets and sound systems, so I know what to look for when listening.
I then played some Warzone with these. I could not hear anything useful. I could not hear enemy footsteps, the explosions were very muddy, gunfire tinny, voice comms quiet, just an awful gaming experience. I switched back to my cheap amazon headphones for gaming and they blew these out of the water.
Sorry Razer, but I don't know what you did with these headphones, but you missed the mark. The saving grace is the comfort and design and app integrations for other Razer products and even Alexa, but nothing can salvage such poor audio quality.

Great Toothbrush with some kinks to work out

I have never used an electric toothbrush before and figured it was finally time to hop aboard that train. My dentist has been telling me for years to get one and I went with the Oral-B iO series. I am a big fan of tech and AI and when I saw this toothbrush blends both together for a flawless brushing experience, I had to try.
PROS:
- Easy to set up and pair to your phone. Takes minutes to set up and had no issues.
- Multiple cleaning modes: I like that you can switch it up from sensitive when your gums may be more sensitive that day, to regular clean, to a whitening mode and then one for your gums.
- It tells you with a vibration to move on to the next area of your mouth. NOTE: This feature for some reason does NOT work when using a guided brushing via the Oral-B app which bugs me like crazy., more in CONS.
- It gives you great feedback on your brushing habits. This is definitely the money maker here, when you use the guided brush via the app, it will show you in real time what teeth/area of your mouth you missed and need to work on and tell you if you are brushing too hard and if for not enough time. It also works as a great motivator to keep up on dental hygiene.

CONS:
- The vibration to move on to the next segment of your mouth is disabled with the guided brush via the app. This is annoying because sometimes I rely on that to move on to the next area instead of staring at my phone.
- You HAVE to have the app open and sync it to the brush in order to get the most out of the toothbrush. This can be cumbersome for most people to always have your phone out and open and paired to your brush when you just want to brush your teeth. Now, you can brush without it, but you do not get the detail/insights you would if you had the app opened for a guided brush. I wish there was a way for me not to have the app open but get the same feedback by looking later. All you get is the overpressure data when not using the app.

Keep surfaces dirt-free and dust-free with this Hoover ONEPWR DustChaser hand vacuum. The handheld design offers easy carrying between rooms, while the rechargeable LiIon battery allows for cord-free, continuous use. This Hoover ONEPWR DustChaser hand vacuum has a rinsable filter for easy maintenance and includes an upholstery tool and two-in-one dusting and crevice kit for furniture and hard-to-reach areas.
Posted by: BPTech

The Hoover ONEPWR Dust Chaser is a pretty good hand vaccuum for various tasks around the house or in the garage (AKA your car). It comes with two attachments, one for dusting and one for upholstery. It is pretty lightweight (it can be fatiguing after 30 minutes of using it) but not too bad. Cleaning it out after each use is a breeze and the filter is good quality and is HEPA rated which is a plus for those like me who suffer from allergies. I used it to dust my blinds (wasn't that productive but still nice) clean the couch (very nice) and pick up dust and crumbs around the house. This thing will suck anything up in front of it and does a good job at cleaning up small messes. It also worked great in the car, that is a big plus in my book.
The gripes I have with this vacuum are:
- The battery life is pretty short, only 30 minutes on a full charge (which takes like 1.5 hours to get to) This is annoying if you need a full day of cleaning with it, e.g couches, car, blinds, messes.
- It doesn't come with a stand to put it on like other hand-vacs or anything to put the attachments in. Not a big deal, just for the price, that would've been a nice add-on
- The power button easily gets bumped when cleaning and sometimes you will accidentally turn it off mid suck.

One of this biggest reasons I like this keyboard is that it is bluetooth and rechargeable and usable on more than one device with the press of a button. I have 3 computers on my desk and sometimes use a KVM to switch between them. Having this keyboard helps alleviate some of that pain and it also pairs nicely to my iPhone. I could be at home working on my Macbook and then with a press of a button switch over to my iPhone and type some text messages there etc.
The feel of the keyboard is very nice, it's hefty but well balanced, I personally am a big fan of mechanical keyboards so typing on this is not my favorite as the keys feel shifted to me, but that is just a learning curve I will get past.
Backlight illumination is a big plus for when you are typing in a dark environment, and as with all Logitech products, they are very customizable in terms of macros and keys you can program. Also, this is full size with a numpad which I find to be a big plus. The keys are extremely quiet, no one will hear you typing,
All in all, this will make for a great workhorse for your Mac set up and is easily used across other OS'es and devices at once.

Overall, these wireless in-ear buds provide pretty good sound quality and very good noise canceling ability for the price. Below I will go over Pros and Cons.
PROS:
- Easy to pair and set up
- Sound quality is a 7/10 in my books, I feel the mids are a tad muddy and could be more crisp, but then again, I am not shocked considering the price tag
- Noise canceling: These do a great job at noise canceling, when set to the highest setting, I couldn't even hear myself clap in a room. It has 3 settings so you can choose how much noise canceling you want.

Cons:
- Comfort: I wouldn't say these are incredibly uncomfortable, but the design kind of makes it so it rubs up against your ear and the provided cushions are not the best. Perhaps better cushions would help, but I find my ear to be a tiny bit sore after wearing them for an hour (working out) and I have had others that do not do this. I believe it's because of the piece that goes in that shields from outside sound that does this.
Noise Canceling: I know I said its good, but what REALLY irks me is that when you press the button for noise canceling, it does not tell you what setting you are on, nor does it even beep to let you know you changed the noise canceling setting. This is really frustrating because I would like to know what mode of noise canceling I am on without having to guess.

Also, you should really burn in these things for 20-40 hours to get a good understanding of the sound quality. When I first listened to them, I was unimpressed, but over time with the burn in, the quality got better.

So my teeth are not THAT yellow, they are definitely yellowed because I drink coffee on the daily, I would say on their scale my teeth were an 8 (15 being the most yellow, 1 being pure white). So I thought I would give this 7 days (21 is recommended but I wanted to see how it would be after one week) and I will continue to do this up until 21 days.
But after one week, I would say my teeth have gone to a 5-6 now on the whiteness scale. I used the gold pen to begin with that it comes with which is their extra strength serum. You just twist until the serum comes out and paint your teeth and then hook the mouth device which is LED based lighting up to your phone and I leave it in my mouth for 12-15 minutes (depending on my mood). Then you rinse your mouth out and rinse the mouth light off and you're done!
I have experienced no sensitivity or ill affects from the whitening serum. My gums are fine, it's safe to swallow, it doesn't burn (maybe your lips the tiniest bit if you don't put chapstick on before) and it does not taste bad at all, no taste really. Going back to chapstick, HIGHLY recommend you put on a good gob of chapstick on before doing the treatment because your lips are going to get dry and chapped and it won't be a fun time.
Can't wait to see how the next two weeks go and then periodic touch ups! This is definitely a great alternative to the dentist and great for your appointments in between. I always thought teeth whitening was a gimmick, but no, it really does work and it does give you a boost of confidence when you know your smile is visibly whiter.

I love NERF guns, so I was excited to see this one come to my doorstep. This thing is pretty large actually, even for a grown sized adult as myself, so I anticipate this thing wouldn't be the easiest thing for kids to lug around. It's probably 3-4 pounds so not too heavy but as a small kid it is.
The accuracy is hit or miss (no pun intended) The sights on this gun are useless in my opinion, I get it's not a real firearm but don't boast the sights as a feature when they barely help you hit a target. The darts shoot out semi-straight, I have done rapid fire tests and noticed towards the middle of the clip they will start to vary out of control and veer right or left.
I have had the gun jam on me three times in testing and one time the dart was stuck in the chamber and I had to go grab a long wooden dowel just to push the dart back out into the loading chamber! Not very kid friendly there.... If you're lucky and it doesn't jam that far, you could get your hand in the jam clearing chamber and pull it out.
This thing does go far though that is for sure, and if you are lucky and don't get a jam, you could clear the 10 rounds in about 3-4 seconds easily.
It's fun, but nothing to rush to the store to buy. Also do like the color scheme on it.

Can the OS windows 8 be uninstalled and replaced with windows 7?
I really would like to buy the surface pro 3. I do t like the windows 8 OS, before I buy the product I want to make sure I can uninstall the 8 and replaced it with the 7.
No it isn't possible because of drivers and its a special image of Windows 8.1 the surface uses. Why would you want to put an OS like Windows 7 on a tablet? 8.1 was built for something like this. I was like you once all against 7, but trust me, this device was optimized and built for windows 8.1 and you won't be disappointed.
