Impressed with Multifunctionality
on February 21, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to be honest. I actually bought this for my iPad Pro 10.5 because I am fed up with the small keyboards and the iPad is at the point where it can surprisingly replace my laptop (outside of hardcore Photoshop or hardcore gaming - but that's what my gaming desktop is for ha).
Pros:
-Versatile, works well with the iPad Pro. I am genuinely impressed with the key registration on each key press. Worked with impressive key registration on my gaming PC as well; no input lag so far
-Lights up with various levels
-Works with the hard keyboard case that Razer sells for $29.99 (only thing is you have to push down on one of the plastic corners). Surprisingly also fits the iPad Pro 10.5 with this keyboard in that case as long as you use a slim ipad cover like the smartcover, in addition to chargers and plug (although I would recommend it in a cushion case so it doesn't slide all over the place).
-Can use it bluetooth connection OR the wireless dongle connection.
-As expected, key press is solid. Would expect nothing less from Corsair when it comes to keyboards.
Cons:
-Wish the battery life could be longer, but hey, it would probably be heavier if it were.
-Lights up but only 1 color (bluish color)
-Keys don't seem to come off like the mechanical keyboards that Corsair normally sells.
Just an FYI outside of topic, if you are a gamer looking to change up your gear, I would recommend the following:
-Astro a50s for headset (Awesome sound and can use for consoles easily as well as PC, very versatile)
-Logitech G502 or Logitech G903 for gaming mouse (Logitech wins in gaming mice easily)
-Logitech Rechargeable Mousepad if you use Logitech G903, otherwise Razer and Corsair both have great RGB mousepads as well.
-Corsair K70 Rapidfire keyboard (Corsair wins in keyboards easily)

AMAZING Mouse with 2 MAJOR FLAWS
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: Absolution
from San Diego, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
AMAZING Mouse with 2 MAJOR flaws. I only deducted a star as the flaw is somewhat related I suspect.
Having used this mouse since it first came out to the public...
PROS
-The feel of this mouse is PERFECT for people with long fingers. I have not felt instantly comfortable with any mouse ever since the G5/G7 series from the Logitech. This mouse got it right.
-The glide is SUPER smooth
-Being right handed, I love that the left side of the mouse has a big resting spot for my thumb yet has 0 impact on control.
CONS
-CUE Software on this mouse is EXTREMELY buggy. I suspect this mouse needs a firmware update without a doubt because it leads to the next flaw.
-If you use this mouse connected, it's perfect. However, if you use the mouse wirelessly, it has some annoying random ghost movements. Meaning, it moves sporadically all over the place. I notice though it's less likely if you plug in the USB dongle directly to the PC than with the wire connector. I'm also hoping that the CUE software can fix this issue.
Until the wireless issue is fixed, I'm using this mouse as a wired mouse. The pros outweigh the cons significantly and I just frankly love it.

Honestly, I don't know why this game needs reviews. The game is hands down (and still is) the best game series ever created if you are looking for a treasure hunting story plot type of genre. I don't think Naughty Dog has ever created a game that sucked.

Sound works for working out...but not else.

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are to review this headset for working out, I would give it 4 stars. However, I am reviewing it based on working out, listening to music at work, or occasionally watching a movie with these.
Cons:
-Bass is not good, it's not bad but it's not good
-It's really easy to lose so make sure you use the clip that is provided
Pros:
-Sound is crisp if you have the right setting
-Has multiple settings to customize equalizer, but fyi it doesn't save the bass.
-App actually works very well.
Honestly with all the new tech out there, you can do better for the price (in ear buds without wires). However if you get these at a HUGE discount it's difficult to not recommend it.

Really should be 4.7/8

PC Gamer Review:
I came from an Alienware 120Hz 23 inch Gaming monitor and one of the biggest worries I had was the 5ms and 60Hz. After playing Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and CS:GO, I can happily say that my worry is not really warranted. Gaming at an extreme competitive level though, you should wait for something better than 60Hz and 5ms IPS or just go the UHD/FUHD/LED route instead. There is an teeny minor difference that's noticeable if you come from a 120Hz 1ms gaming monitor but it doesn't really effect your A game. Casual and occasional competitive gaming, this is just fine.
The biggest perk is the IPS; my wife is planning to go into photoshop and 4k video editing and I needed something with RGB accuracy. This I can say fits the bill.
I got this as an open box $349.99. IPS 4k at that price with a model that recently came out...yeah....good luck finding that price anywhere else.

Inconsistent WiFi
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: Absolution
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a HUGE fan of Asus (Have the Asus ROG laptop, Asus RT-AC88U AC3100, etc.). However, I was very disappointed with this nano USB WiFi. And therein lies the issue. The USB nano is SMALL. I don't think this was designed for gaming but more for cosmetics and easy to plug and play.
I really wanted to give this a higher rating for what it was designed for (it definitely wasn't designed for gaming it doesn't feel like) but the inconsistent connection to my router was annoying; especially when I was downloading Windows Updates and it would disconnect in the middle. I ended up just having to carry the computer to the router and using an ethernet cable.
Amazon has a review on a device like this from Asus (older model) and it wasn't good. I should have trusted that but this newer model got my curiosity to see if they improved it.

Best Option at Best Buy for 1080 GTX Gaming PC
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: Absolution
Verified Purchase:Yes
One major thing to take in consideration when buying a PC with awesome specs is, "What company parts did they use?" That's the thing with these things; you don't know what company parts they use for the build.
I'm happy to say this model I received had what I was looking for. MSI Z270 Pro Mate MoBo, MSI 1080 GTX Armor OC, and a surprise wireless USB inside the case (they ran a USB wire through and connected a USB WiFi, and surprisingly it has a strong signal). For the price, you would not be able to build one cheaper with the same parts (you would have to wait for all the parts to be discounted to even get close and time is money). I had doubts with iBuyPower truth to be told but I found out later that they test their parts before they use them. If you Google the company, it'll be mixed reviews.
My advice is make sure the version you get has a great MoBo and Video Card (Asus/MSI/etc.). Those are the most important parts. It's hard to tell what PSU it uses but it should be a good one since it supports SLI and that needs a lot power.

Best Overall Keyboard in the Market
on April 18, 2015
Posted by: Absolution
Verified Purchase:Yes
A little background about myself. I’m coming from the Razer Deathstalker, Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013 & 2014, and Logitech G710+. My review is based on a comparison between those.
PROS:
-INDENTATIONS ON KEYBOARD: I’m going to start off by saying you will either love or hate the keys being indented. I originally thought it would hinder my typing because well, theoretically having a bump to cross to get to the next key would hinder type speed. I’m happy to say personally, since I lift my fingers up to get the next key anyway by a little bit, it has no effect on me. Unless you are gliding your fingers across the keys to get to the next key, the indentation should not effect you. However, the indentation does feel a little awkward because it won’t fit everyone’s finger properly. Essentially, if you have big fingers, this keyboard is going to feel a little strange. You might like it you might not. To me, the indentations were fine so I’m giving it a pro.
-KEYS RESPONSE TIME: The keyboard response time is AMAZING. I have never seen a keyboard at this level where you don’t even really need to press down on the key and it registers what you are typing or doing in a game. A note: I brought this keyboard to work to try typing and working on it. On a gaming rig, you can do multiple presses at the same time. On my work computer, when I just put all my hand on a bunch of keys at once, it lagged and had to catch up and had Unresponsive message pop up sometimes.
-KEY SPACING: I read some reviews that since they had to cram a lot of stuff on this keyboard, the key spacing was shrunken down. I can say that I definitely noticed that when compared against Razer Black Widow and Logitech’s G710+. However, it’s a good spacing change. It makes it easier to get to the keys faster.
-MEDIA KEYS: There is no better keyboard out there than Logitech for dedicated media control. The windows disable key and all as well. There’s no better setup than the way Logitech did.
-G1 to G9 KEYS: FINALLY! Razer did the side macro keys the best-all lined up. Logitech G910 did the same. The happy surprise I had was that there are G6 to G9 keys on top of the function keys. This makes it pretty nice when you are playing MMO games with 3 skill bar rows. Numbers for row 1, F1 keys for row 2, and G6 to G9 keys for row 3. A pity they didn’t make more although, I don’t know how you would do that properly cause that would be weird on a keyboard.
-LIGHTING: I love that the lighting can be controlled very well – for instance what keys to light up in the dark for which game you are playing, or a spell having CD you can change it to red when it’s on CD and green when you can use it. HOWEVER: I think these are just aesthetics. Come on, we are gamers. We know where the keys are. We just need to see 1 letter and we’re good, or we can feel for the keyboard and know where to set our fingers. Still labeling this as a pro though, as it does look good. They can do a lot with this for “cool” look in the future.
-USES ONLY 1 USB: Therefore, it doesn’t have a spare USB port on the keyboard. However, I like this way better. For some reason, companies haven’t used USB 3.0 on keyboard ports yet. To me, this was actually a PRO but for some it’ll be a con.
-IT’S LOGITECH: I grew up with Logitech. Their keyboards and mice are top notch. I love that they preserved the quality and that it doesn’t double click letters.
CONS:
-ANGLE: I don’t know what it is, but the keyboard to me feels like it’s leaning away (meaning, it is higher closer to you but lower on top) regardless what wrist pad you use. I think the keyboard was designed this way, but normally I’m used to keyboards leaning towards you (meaning, it is higher on top and lower near you).
-VOLUME ROCKER: Volume Rocker feels too smooth, not sure if I got a damaged one or not but the volume wheel on this compared to my Logitech G710+ feels too smooth. Logitech G710+ felt like it had more resistance when I moved the volume wheel up and down, which I personally prefer.
-ARX DOCK: This is the cheapest piece of material I have ever seen. I can total see it snapping with use of my Galaxy Note 4 after long-term use. However, I am very surprised that my Galaxy Note 4 did fit. The other bad is it only works in portrait mode. I don’t know about you, but having a large phone in portrait mode on the back of my keyboard…yeah.
-M1 M2 M3 KEYS: These are SMALL. I can understand why they are small but to make it worse, they are lower than the other keys. It is hard to get to them during fast action game plays.
-WIRE: Why oh why, did you not make this a braided wire. It’s just a standard rubberized wire. Seriously. Why!
-LOGITECH GAMING SOFTWARE: They have done massive improvements since I first used this. However, it’s nowhere near where it should be. Honestly, Razer’s Synapse is way better. But, Logitech is making huge strides and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Synapse or catch up. I labeled this as a con, but really it’s not. It’s just a con to me compared to the competition cause the competition to me does it better.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Definitely making this my main keyboard. I love that I can type a little faster and the keys are very easy to get to. It may take a while to get used to the indentations and smaller spacing if you are used to Razer’s or Logitech’s old keyboards. Also, keep in mind again, the cons I wrote about this keyboard (for instance, fat fingers may not like the indentations). The cons to me, really isn’t a con. It’s just something new that will be extremely easy to get used to and not something that doesn’t work, thus making this entire keyboard setup a “I LOVE THIS THING!” gadget for me.

It's Zagg...no brainer =)

Verified Purchase:Yes
When it comes to screen protectors, there's no other company I would go with.
Pros:
-If you put the protector in wrong, you can easily request a replacement through their website.
-If you purchased the Zagg protector from someone else, you can just add it to your Zagg account. The main thing is you return a Zagg protector when you receive the replacement. It doesn't matter if you were the original owner or not (great for eBay device purchases that comes with it :) ). Only hitch is you have to pay for shipping, which is fine to me!
-It's Zagg...they don't ask questions if you sucked at putting the protector on. When I first tried these myself I botched 3 in a row lol.
-Excellent customer focus. I have the perfect example. I purchased the Zagg glass for my Note 4 and apparently there was a botched batch where when you put the zagg glass on the phone it had outliners and cloud. Zagg acknowledged this and sent me a brand new one cost free! Companies that own up to their issues has my highest respect. It's not easy for companies to admit botched batches. They could have just sent me a replacement and charged me shipping but they didn't.
Cons:
-I honestly, do not have any cons for this brand name. They are like Spigen to me (Spigen case had an issue where the holes for the phone was off but they acknowledged it and sent me a replacement. The stand was broken when I got it and they also sent me a replacement for that). Even if something goes wrong, I trust their products and that they stand by their products. Zagg is my go to company for all my screen protectors. I don't even bother looking elsewhere.

Will a case friendly Zagg glass screen protector work with my Urban Amor Gear case without the edges pushing up the protector ?

Just make sure to get the case friendly screen protector and you will be fine :)
