I got this to help me record voice overs for training videos. It is awesome. Plug in and ready to use. It is sturdy and has a very nice trip pod stand. There is a long USB cord so you can really position the mic where you want and not feel like you are tied closely to your computer.
There is an audio jack on the bottom of the mic so you can plug in headphones and listen to yourself through the microphone. This way you get a sense of how you sound while recoding. There are even lights on the bottom which give a nice glow in low light situations.
I like how it has multiple modes, you can record from different sides of the mic, When it is just me, I set it to record only from the front of the mic, I have used it in a group setting and needed to pick up users from all sides, So I set it to pick up from all sides and it sounded amazing. There are two knobs on the back to adjust the gain and volume. There is also a button on the front that lets you quickly mute the mic. Very nice.
This is a sturdy, high quality mic that will not break the bank.

Best Typing Experience Ever
on July 11, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy

From the first key I pressed, I could tell this would going to be a great experience. So you can actually pair this to 3 different devices. That is great for when you want to is it with your iPad and then also with your Mac or Macbook. It is super easy to pair. Enable the bluetooth on your device and then press and hold one of the 3 sync buttons on the keyboard. BAM! You are now connected. And let the fun begin.
The keyboard actually was a bit heavier then I was expecting but that is a good thing. It has a great "weight" to it. It feels solid, sturdy, and well made.
I love the backlight of the keys. So many times I am working in the low light setting and need to see the keys. You can easily see what you are typing now. Another awesome feature... the backlight goes off about 5 seconds of inactivity which is great but the real magic.... as your hands approach the keyboard the lights come back on... you do not need to actually press any keys to activate the lights. WOW! GENIUS! MIND BLOWN!
So often on keyboards with a back light you have to press a key first to activate it. Well how often do you actually press the key you want the very first time? Problem solved. These lights come on before you press any keys. Way to go Logitech for figuring this out.
Now, the keys... they have almost a rubber feel to them (not plastic) and the curve of the key is perfect for my fingers. I hit the center of the key each time. The typing experience is like heaven. So nice to type with the perfect amount of resistance.
AND this one has the keypad on the side... love this for data entry.
You can download the Logitech software too and then customize the function keys to your liking.

Logitech Is King of Wireless Mice
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
When I hear Logitech name, I immediately think of high quality wireless keyboards and mice. This mouse is fantastic. I really like the design color. The side of it has a very nice feel for my thumb and pinky as I move the mouse around. The click of the left and right buttons is natural and responsive.
I really like the universal Bluetooth adapter so you can sync another keyboard with this at the same time without needing to use 2 adapters.
My kids will use this for their school laptops. It is small enough to carry in their back packs, and not take up much space. Battery life is unbelievable. I change the batteries in my smoke detectors more often then I do with these mice.
Logitech has done it again. Love the designs and the ease of use of the mouse.

Really Great Overall Case
on June 26, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
So overall I am really happy with the case. It comes I n2 parts, the main case that the iPad snaps into, and the detachable keyboard piece.
I really like that the keyboard charges via the iPad directly. Using the connector where the Pencil would go, it magnetically attaches and gets its charge from there.
The keys are great to type with. I REALLY like that the keys also are backlit. What a great addition. I also like the touchpad. As your mouse gets close to an icon it snaps to the icon and then the entire icon is enabled (highlighted). So when you click the touchpad, the icon for the app you want will be selected, no worrying that the mouse moved.
The case snaps on the iPad very easily. And the back has the “stand” that you can adjust to a nearly flat position or keep it nearly upright. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that at first, I thought I would break the stand the first time I pressed it lower, but I found out quickly it is meant to do this and it very sturdy. You can really get the angle you want to view the tablet.
The case does have some eight to it. You definitely feel like the iPad is protected.
My one concern, and why I did not give it 5 stars, is the keyboard attachment. I do not always want the keyboard and I would like to flip it behind the iPad or our of the way. That is to an option. If you do or want to use the keyboard you have to remove it (it comes off super easy).... but then you have a keyboard laying around beside you or on the table and you have to remember to reattach it when you close the iPad or turn it off. As the keyboard is the screen protector for the device when not in use. I find having the keyboard detach is not ideal.... and then I have to figure out something to do with it.

What I love about this is it works not only with MacBook and iPad Pro but any device that has USB C connection. I have also used on a chromebook and a windows laptop that have USB C connection.
It is small and portable. I love the extra usb c connector cable. It has a travel pouch which keeps the unit safe when it in use. I can carry it in my backpack and it is always ready to go when I need it.
So great to be able to add the Electra ports through this hub.

Wow.... was I surprised how good this felt to hold right out of the box. It was larger then I was expecting but it has a good weight to it. You do need 4 AA batteries so be sure you have some handy if you want to use this right away.
The set comes with the gun, 20 darts, one clip which holds 10 darts. and 20 Okay I wish it had an extra clip or this clip would hold all 20 darts at one time. There is a trigger on the handle you have to press first to engage the motor and then you are ready to fire. A simple squeeze of the trigger and you are off and having fun.
Removing the clip is super easy. Just press the clip release button and the clip pulls right out.
There are flip up sites and a side door to open if there is a jam. It did jam a few times on us at first but it hasn't happened again.
My only wish is that the darts had a little more zip on them as they came out of the gun. It is pretty accurate up to about 5-10 feet. Perhaps I need a different kind of battery, I will test that soon.
Overall this is a blast to play with and my kids have not stopped using it.

High End Packaging - Great Price
on April 29, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
So the moment I opened the box I knew this was going to be something special. The items were all packaged in separate drawstring bags. Very nice touch.
You do want to fully charge it before using it the first time. There is a USB charging cable included. The unit will turn a red color while charging. When it is done charging the color goes away. Super easy.
Now that it’s is charged you are ready to use it.
Pairing was a snap. I turned the unit on with the very awesome remote. I enabled the paring sequence again from the remote and then went into the Bluetooth settings on my phone. Boom, easy connection.
Now I was in business. I immediately began playing music. You have several options for light control. You can manually cycle through the color choices and pause on any anytime. Or you can set it to randomly select colors while it is on. The kids seem to like the random color choices.
The remote is very nice. The top section is for turning it on and off and changing the colors
The bottom section is for Bluetooth connections and adjusting the volume. I really like that it is cordless, you can take it anywhere and still listen to you music.

High End Family Friendly
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy

From the moment I unboxed this printer I could not wait to test it out. Set up was SUPER fast. There are only a few steps. Set it where you want it, plug it in, be sure to take off all the protective tape and load paper. Now you are ready to begin set up. Right away in the instructions they offer an app to download to your apple or android device. I have an apple device and the download and signing in to the app was seamless. It walks you through how to connect to the printer wifi initially while you set it up. I would say all in all it took me maybe 5 minutes to download the app, sign in and begin setting up the printer.
Set us was super quick. Connect it to your local wifi and wait a couple of minutes while it configures its settings. BAM that was it.
I was printing my first test page within minutes of connecting to the printer from the HP Mobile app.
Print quality is just what you would expect from HP. Clear and crisp and easy to ready. Images and text both in black and white and color come out fantastic.
I quickly went around to other devices in my home (iPad, Windows Laptop, and Chromebook) and I was able to find the printer from each device and print immediately.
The touchscreen is very responsive and not overly big. It is great to help you interact with the settings as needed.
I love that I can scan from here and print in duplex. Man these prints come out fast. If there was one thing I wish I could change is when it is idle the power button blinks. So that can be a bit distracting in a dark room when you see the light continue to blink. If there is a setting to change it I have not found it yet. It is minor but I would like to change it to off.

Great software - basically same as online version
on February 17, 2020
Posted by: pMurphy
from Florida
We have been using the online version of this software for years. We decided to try the local version this time around. I suppose it was nice having the software directly on my computer. I guess I was expecting something different or improved that would make me want to stop using the online version and use this version instead. In the end I think I will just stick with the online version in future years.
They both work great. I did appreciate not having to be connected online to work on my taxes. I also appreciated that it prompted me to import last years file (I had it in PDF) but it worked.
Since I had been using the same version, just online, I did not find any new or missed tax credits. That was reassuring and nice to know that I was not missing something by using the online version.
The screens are super easy to follow. I would recommend either the online version or this version.

Take professional-grade pictures with this Sony wireless shooting grip. Bluetooth technology allows cable-free connection to compatible cameras, while the contoured design helps increase stability and comfort during use. This Sony wireless shooting grip has a flexible tilt function for positioning the camera, and the integrated legs spread to create a tripod for hands-free operation.

From the moment I inboxed this shooting grip I knew I was in for a treat. It has a great feel and weight to it. It also has a cloth bag to keep it in when not in use. Set up was a snap. I had to enable the Bluetooth pairing from the camera itself. Once you do that you push a few buttons on the grip to pair the device. From there you are connected and ready to go.
I find it super easy to adjust the angles for shooting. I enjoy having zoom control in addition to be able to snap still photos or movies all from the grip.
I also like that it folds out into a small tripod. I can set it up on a table and record what is happening. Great for making instructional videos so you can have both hands free.
Easy to hold and use if you want to turn the camera around and make selfie style narrated vlogs. My kids had no issue using it. This is very user friendly.

Is this keyboard backlit at all?
No there is not any backlight. So working in low light levels would not be ideal for this keyboard.
