This is my 2nd mechanical gaming keyboard and I am really enjoying this one. The keys feel great cherry mx switches. The fnatic software was easy to use and setup my preferred rgb. I prefer a nice solid color but you can choose from any amount of cascading colors in a variety of patterns. This is considered a "mini" keyboard thus no numpad section. Its meant for gaming though. Top right section of the board you have three buttons for muting your mic or volume and the third is branded "tournament" mode which you can configure with the software. What this does is you can enable or disable specific keys that might cause you issue while gaming like the windows key or such. This is now my main rig gaming keyboard it fits my needs nicely and I would recommend it as a good quality product. Also came with a nice wrist rest that is comfortable.

Textured rubber side grips on this Fnatic Flick2 Pro e-sports gaming mouse keep it firmly in hand during high-octane play.

I've owned a lot of gaming mouse through the years and this one is pretty top notch. Simple two buttons mouse wheel/button and two side buttons. The grip is nice (not claw style) and comfortable. Also a button to adjust dpi to your liking. The fnatic software is nice to get your rgb fix going whether it be solid color or a rainbow effect. Simple to use (my first rgb product). This is now my main rig gaming mouse and fits my needs perfectly from mmo to fps. It is corded but that just means to rushing to look for batteries at a crucial moment. I would recommend this product.

I was not overly impressed with this headset as an experienced user in headsets this did not meet my expectations.
I own an older g930's from logitech and as well as Steel Series 7's which both surpassed this.
Comfort was ok about what you would expect. Sound about the same just ok not an audiophile but nothing that blew me away.
My 2 star rating comes from the ease of use and setup. The pamphlet they send you is very basic on how to connect it to your pc and receiver and I found it to be very sub par. It does not explain any of the features of the headset. It also provides dead HTML links to get drivers and support, both links went to non existent 404 web pages. I eventually went to Plantronics support and got them to link me an actual user guide. I tried searching their support for the Rig 800HD manual and the Rig 800HD was nowhere to be found.
The Mic noise cancellation seems to be sub par as well picking up a lot of background noise where as my steel series do not. It does come with a dolby atmos download code but once again I wasn't blown away by it.
Honestly if you are in the market for a wireless headset for the price point I would avoid this particular headset. You can do better for around the same price.

This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.

Short answer skip this unless all you want to do is waste time trying to browse the web or check email.
This was shipped very late from the factory to my house first strike.
Comes with a standard basic usb keyboard and mouse, nothing fancy very basic.
Tower is fully assembled along with power cord.
First boot was pretty slow on the included 1tb hdd. I can't believe they still make systems with these slow mechanical drives for the boot drive. First thing I did was put in a m2 WD 500gb SSD. (No m2 screw included). If you planning on doing the same you will need to remove the hdd rack to get to the slot which was annoying but only about 10 min of work. Note you will need a computer tool set the screws were of the hex variety, likely to detour ppl like me who like to tinker with things.
Ok so everything is up and running and I want to migrate my hdd to my ssd for a nice smooth copy, easy right? Wrong the hdd has physical file errors according to windows. After banging my head against the wall for about 30 min trying to make the copy I decide to just reformat and go from scratch..which worked fine. Windows activated my license with no issues.
The Ryzen 5 2400g APU leaves much to be desired from a gaming standpoint. Its comparable to a Nvidia 1030gt which isn't much. If you esport you'll be fine but anything more and you will regret this decision. Granted this is not meant to be a gaming rig but that is what I tested. The case is so small you won't find much room for upgrading. The psu is only 180w so you wont be putting a 1060 inside here anytime soon.
Temps are marginal idles around 30-40 under OCCT load maxed at around 90c, cpu is rated up to 105c. One exhaust fan inside.
Overall I would not recommend this without the understanding it really needs a SSD to even begin to be on par with usable this day in age. If you game don't bother with the APU you will be disappointed. Save up and get yourself an actual gaming machine with dedicated graphics. If you add an SSD and just plan to use it as a workstation or casual browsing perfect setup then.

Great headset for being wired with dolby atmos

Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
Not a fan of wired typically but this one is really nice. Came with a card to download dolby atmos software which really makes the headset shine. Easy assembly with a removable mic and one wire to run to headset jack of pc or xbox/ps4 controller. Tested all three worked flawlessly with amazing sound. If you don't mind being tethered I found this to be a very nice gaming headset. All the cords are modular too so if one goes bad I would imagine it would be simple to replace.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked these up in store at 149.99 for pc gaming, love them. Sound quality is great and I have no issues with the mic. I do wish it was flip to mute because I find the push to mute button hard to find sometimes. Some configuration possible via pc app you can download not necessary though. Warning not an audiophile but I like them. I also use them for the noise cancellation when using saw's and power tools I find it dampens the noise nicely while listening to music. Buy them for the price point I'm happy.

Great little dehumidfier for the basement

Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this up on a deal of the day and there were no reviews on it yet so I took a gamble. Came a few days later, setup was easy plug and play literally. I did hook a hose up to it to drain in my sump pump but for some reason it must not be inclined properly and the bucket always fills up and shuts down the unit until emptied. It does the job I wanted it for to dry out my basement/house. You can set it to work on a time or temp, I have mine set to stay at 50%. Wish the hose drain worked better other than that not sorry I went with this one.

Great little speaker

Received today paired to my phone very easily without reading instructions. Sound is exactly what I expect from this small speaker. I have it in my kitchen to jam out while doing dishes/cleaning. Fits on top of my microwave under the cabinets easy. Comes with a short usb charging cable but no wall charger, not worth knocking a star.

Overview says console but does it really work with a ps4 pro
Yes it would work fine with a ps4 pro, its a usb drive it would be limited by the usb 3 port on your ps4 pro but you would gain some loading time over the drive that ships with the ps4 pro.

Get peace and quiet anywhere with these Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. An advanced HD noise-cancelling processor blocks distracting background noise so you can focus in noisy environments, and Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use with smartphones and other devices. These Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds include a convenient charging case that offers up to 24 hours of use per charge.
How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?
They do not feel secure to me and I tried several of the ear tip sizes. One of the major complaints in my review was that when walking/running they don't feel secure.

how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
New to the market maybe a month or so. Short version of my review is if you just want to use this for checking email typing up documents and browsing web you will be ok. Don't expect any kind of gaming or 4k movie watching on this. Even just using it as a workstation feels somewhat slow with the 1tb mechanical drive. Add a SSD and it will be a speedy machine for you.

Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?
Integrated graphics not usable on anything but the likes of esport/minecraft games. 1gb vram.
