It's not a flying car, but my floor is clean
Pros: Cleans the floor Charges itself
Cons: Occasionally gets stuck Weak instructions
Overall Review: I had a Roomba years ago and never really used it because it didn't let me schedule cleaning. It cleaned well enough though. This model, for half the money, does just as good a job cleaning and also does it when I'm not home. I just come home and empty its bin, and my floor isn't covered in dog hair. I call that a win. It does get hung up on cords and socks the kids leave around, but you just have to keep that stuff off the floor. It has never fallen down the stairs though, and has always managed to find its charger when it's done, which surprised me because I put the charger in a slightly out-of-the-way spot. The instructions are not terribly well translated but it's pretty easy to figure out so that's not a big deal. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed and would recommend.
Throttle is great! Stick is...not
Pros: All the controls and buttons and options you could ever need.
Cons: Build quality, button placement on stick.
Overall Review: I love the throttle. It's full of buttons and options which are well-placed and built well. But the stick...ugh. Why so many buttons on the base and so few on the stick? And the buttons themselves just feel cheap. Clunky and awkward. On top of it all is the failure of the twist sensor. 3 times now I've had to take it apart and blow contact cleaner through the sensor to stop it from registering inputs I didn't make. To their credit, you CAN take it apart fairly easily, but you shouldn't have to. It's like the stick and throttle were designed by separate companies. All the elements of the throttle have a natural, intuitive placement. You can use your whole hand without looking, with most controls available to your most dexterous fingers. And they feel nice. But the stick has only one job for your index finger, a few jobs for your thumb, and a bunch of other stuff you just have to flail at.
Pretty decent
Pros: This keyboard makes nice clicky clacky sounds when typing and lights up all pretty. And it's beefy! Sturdy. So if that's what you want, you won't be disappointed.
Cons: The built-in controls for the lighting aren't very intuitive. The software is better but not great.
Overall Review: I bought one for my kid and liked it enough to buy one for myself. I've generally been impressed with Rosewill products and this one is no different.
It's fine.
Pros: Works
Cons: Doesn't make toast
Overall Review: I don't even have a toaster, but still, I keep smelling toast.
Does the job
Pros: Simple operation, no configuration required. Pass-through outlet. Very good network speed.
Cons: A little bulky so it covers an outlet.
Overall Review: I'm very impressed. I've used them for a few months with no issues. I use them for a gaming computer and there are no speed or latency problems.
Lots of effort for not much result
Pros: Comes with a USB extension cable Is not a potato
Cons: Huge pain to set up. Setting up 2 sensors takes 5 minutes. It took at least an hour of fiddling to get the 3rd sensor working.
Overall Review: I can't say that the sensor itself is bad, but the system for calibrating it is really a nightmare. It seems illogical. It will go through steps and accept the input, then hit a snag and back up three steps to fix it. It will tell you to move the sensor one way, then 3 steps later will say to move it back where it was. All the while acting like it both can and can't see your controller. After finally getting it configured, I have only seen a tiny improvement. That may change as I try different games though. The thing wasn't a total waste, but be prepared for much more frustration than a 2-sensor setup.
Potato camera's gonna potato
I know, for the money what can you expect? I'm not entirely disappointed as I only wanted it for seeing how deer are getting into my fenced yard, but this thing's camera is really atrocious. It's functional though, and seems decent otherwise.
Shady
According to the tracking data, my order sat waiting to be shipped for nearly 2 weeks. I contacted them to ask why and see if I could cancel the order. Before they responded, I received my order, but it had a different tracking number on it, and an invoice showing a price significantly lower than I had paid. I don't know what happened, but it took forever to get my order and clearly someone was ripping me off.
Does what is says on the tin
If you need to connect a 4-pole 3.5mm audio jack to 2 3-pole mic and headphone jacks, well then it's your lucky day because this is the thing that makes that happen and you should buy it post haste. In fact, buy 2 because someone's gonna be jealous.
