Stays cool, not customizable
on October 7, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This pillow could be a hit if only the size was not so limited. Premium materials are obvious to sight and touch. Of course you’ll use a pillow case, but the actual pillow covering is posh and cool. There are air vents on the side that seemed silly until I slept on it. This pillow actually does what it says and stays cool! No sweat. My problem is that it was not quite the right cushion level. I have other premium pillows that allow me to determine the density and height by removing or adding fill. For my needs, I prefer that. The glacier is not a “moldable” pillow. It is meant to be exactly as is. No folding it under or arranging the fill to fit your shoulders and neck. If you like a very static pillow that stays cool, this one is perfect. I prefer a more custom “fit” so I’d go to a different product.

Perfect Stroke keys are shaped for your fingertips with optimal key stability and tactile responsiveness to keep you oriented and in your flow.

I do not have this keyboard to save space on my desk—although it does. My work area is plenty large, and I have room for a full layout. I have this keyboard to save my neck and shoulder. You may not realize how unnatural it is to wing your arm out all day to manipulate a mouse sitting several inches outside your keyboard placement. It puts constant strain on tensions that shouldn’t move that way repetitively. Having your mouse inhabit the same space directly in front of you as the keys is so much more comfortable!! My shoulder isn’t up at my ear anymore. Love it.
That said—Logitech has raised the bar for quality with this particular model. As soon as I took it out of the box and felt the weighted build quality, it was obviously high end. Someone put thought into the way the keys are angled and even how steady it sits on a surface. The travel is perfect and the keys are shaped for fingers. Backlight can be dimmed or turned off for battery life and preference. Function keys can be turned on or off with a quick combo stroke as shortcuts are needed or not. Shortcuts can be left as is, or assigned to open programs or complete actions. For example, I prefer my own print screen program to Logitech’s, and it’s easy to change that. If you absolutely must have a number pad, this design is not for you. But if you can live without that, want a high quality full Key size typing experience, and to avoid mouse shoulder—highly recommend!!

Perfect for Amazon Key users
on October 3, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
I prefer having my packages dropped off in the garage, not on the porch for security reasons—especially during the holidays. Our home becomes a package depot and the front porch is an obvious target. We have security cameras out front, but they don’t tie into the deliveries. MyQ smart connect and camera setup allows us to have our packages from Amazon put inside the garage securely AND it records the process each time the door opens and closes. This function and connection to the Key service is what makes the MyQ setup most valuable to us. A high quality motion detection camera is not all that unique. Installation is super easy, and it pairs right up with the MyQ opener. The picture is good, magnet base for ease to move and swivel all good features. It’s well built and the app is intuitive (dial the notifications up or down to taste—with no kids in the house, I chose to only get delivery notifications). We have several inside and out. But we love the way this one works with Key—that sets it apart and I highly recommend.

Amazing picture right out of the box
on August 30, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
We are all Zooming and steaming and recording ourselves for work our school or socialization these days—more than we ever thought we would. For the past 18 months I have relied solely on my phone or onboard laptop camera for all those things. I have asked others what external webcams they are using and no one is particularly thrilled with one over another. Elgato’s FaceCam puts everything I have seen to shame. It’s not cheap, but it falls to a decent price point for those of us who would like a professional look for our video content and meetings.
Out of the box, plugged into a USB 3 port, download the software, and you are off to the races. Plug and play, the picture is gorgeous. Open the software and makes easy tweaks to zoom, white balance, aperture, sharpness, and more. Choose the resolution, 1080 is perfect, and go. I did not realize how bad my other options were until I put the FaceCam to use. It’s a no brainer, so easy to use, and it keeps its settings onboard if you move to another device!
Highly recommend for everyone, but especially for content creators—immediate stress reducer because whatever you put out will look professional with no effort.

No more need for an adapter to transfer files and photos from my iPhone to my PC or external hard drive. Excellent construction—metal. And small for transport. Plug the lightening side into your phone and wait for instructions to pop up. Grab the app(or it automatically opens if already installed) and choose what you want to back up or clear off. I have 12K photos in my phone that went into the SanDisk drive in less than 5 minutes. I plugged the usb-c side into my laptop, and it was just as fast! Worked great for videos too. The app is easy and intuitive. It allows for automatic backups each time you plug it into your phone. SanDisk is always fast, easy, and small. Another winner!

This little gaming rig is a mini monster! Right out of the box, it’s weighted right with thoughtful touches like a textured body to avoid drops, and little rubber feet on the top cover that elevate the keyboard to a perfect angle when the laptop is opened to use from standing. It feels premium and the specs are more than expected for the size.
The screen folds all the way around to be used tented or as a tablet. All the Win10 tablet mode features are there. And the screen is magic when it comes to hiding prints! Not sure how they managed it, but it’s accurate and easy to wipe, but wiping the screen is not often needed.
The keyboard is PERFECT. Travel, depth, shape and texture of the keys. I’m not sure how else to describe except to say it’s the best I have used—and it’s a 13” machine, that should mean cramped and crowded. It’s not. It’s ideal.
I did a little legwork and found the vid card is actually an RTX 3050 in this little gem. And boy does it show!! There is no comparison to the last Gen card performance. People all over the world are raving about the new RTX line, and the hype is justified. Zero lag. MMGs, shooters, old PC classics, everything ran like butter on this guy.
I have a 17.5” high end gaming rig that is now collecting dust because I can’t tear myself away from my new ROG fry guy. This is my first ROG outing, and I HIGHLY recommend.

Mini version of Tweezermans award-winning slant tweezer. Famous for its precision, the Mini Slant Tweezer features perfectly aligned hand-filed tips for expert brow shaping. Grabs every hair, every time.
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
Tweezerman makes the best tweezers. Period. Not sure why no one else has stumbled on the simplicity and effectiveness of a sharp end and smooth slant, but from splinters to hair to ticks, these are the go to.
The dipped coating is pretty and functional in that they do not slip in your fingers. The short length is PERFECT for actually getting tension and leverage. Other tweezers somehow have air between the ends, and you end up removing skin trying to get the splinter or hair in a grip enough to actually pluck.
Tweezerman tweezers work every time, and I won’t buy another brand.

This is not a laptop. It’s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Pro. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad — our largest ever* — that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Pro meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design — the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad.* The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Pro, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Pro is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won’t slip out and focus on what matters most — getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.

Excellent function, heavy
on June 4, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This is a premium keyboard/trackpad/protective case. The packaging, materials, perfect fit are all high end. If you want to turn your iPad into a laptop (almost), Logitech has done it. But it’s also very heavy. The iPad alone is a few grams over a pound. The keyboard case is and additional about 1.5 pounds. So once installed, you’re holding a sturdy, 2.5LB 11” laptop without a hinge to stay open on your lap. For versatility and protection while traveling, or if you’re planning to use at a desk or table, this is a great solution.
The keyboard is not cramped, and the press is satisfying (doesn’t feel like a “flat” keyboard). It’s a breeze to type and nice to have the option of using the trackpad instead of leaving the keys to touch the screen. People may scoff at how lazy that sounds, but trust me, your efficiency increases with a keys-to-trackpad interface as opposed to keys-to-screen one. Keys are backlit as well, which adds to the premium experience.
One con with any case that is not hinged is that you really cannot use it for long periods on your actual lap. This case is no different. It has a fully adjustable and sturdy easel form factor, but it’s not a hinge.
One thing to note—I could never get the track pad to work with another popular browser. Safari handled it great. Use it just as you would on your laptop. The other one would select a link but not actually open it. I gave up and reverted to Safari.
I have had previous Logitech keyboards for previous gen iPads and have never been as impressed as I am with this one. The fit is absolutely precise, and all the different configurations are thoughtful. I especially like that I can detach the keyboard, reattach it “backwards” and close it around the back to hold the tablet with a smooth back surface. The space for the pencil is also nice.
If my iPad was used more for business, this case would adorn it all times, heavy or not. It’s solid.
For my use case, I have the iPad in the Smart Cover unless I’m leaving the house, then the Logitech keyboard case goes in immediately. Classy and feels good to carry.

Enjoy astonishing sound with this breakthrough portable speaker. Stream music and more over WiFi at home and listen on the go with Bluetooth. Get up to 10 hours of battery life. Easily control the sound with the Sonos app, your voice, and Apple AirPlay 2. Create a whole-home sound system with multiple Sonos speakers.
Posted by: Mer4343

This is the most powerful and true speaker for its size and weight I have ever used. Every time I pick it up, I’m amazed at how light it is. All the materials and the build is high end, as expected from Sonos. Sound quality is superb. The bass is powerful and does overcompensate just a little, sounding muddy at times, but look how small it is!
The Sonos app makes setup and pairing with other Sonos products a breeze. The Roam features Alexa and Google Assistant. It links right to your existing accounts, and you can use BOTH on one device. Having Alexa and Google in one place is handy. There’s also all the usual standalone streaming apps for podcasts and music.
The sound is so good, I will be adding another one soon to have them paired for stereo sound. The speaker automatically adjusts to whatever space you’re in to optimize sound. You can definitely hear this when moving room to room and most especially outside. I was impressed with this feature.
Waterproof, not resistant, means it will make pool trips in a couple months and I don’t have to worry about it being too close to edge. It’s small enough to throw in the bag an set right at the edge where I can hear it without bothering other patrons.
The only downside I have found is battery in standby mode does not pst as long as I’d like. It charges super fast bc of usb-c but I do charge it often.
I highly recommend!!

Don’t forget wall plate!
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: Mer4343
from Charlotte, NC
This is a well-made super easy to install solution for the need of a 6A/30watt USBC wall adapter. Leave the “brick” for your USB-C charger in the drawer. As long as you have a cable, you have plenty of charging power right at the outlet. I use it for my iPad Pro to prevent having to attach the big adapter (I always end up adding a power strip to charge). No need for the power strip anymore!!! Much neater and more dependable.
Just don’t forget you’ll need a wall plate with the large rectangular single opening. Again, it’s three very clearly labeled wires. EASY install.
I plan to get one of these for each bedroom and the offices.
