Ink prices are steep, but bonus paper is nice

Was nice to get a bonus pack of photo paper included since I was out of that too. Just wish ink in general wasn’t so expensive.

Easy and versatile

I needed a mic to record a performance by an accordion player for my wife’s ethnic dance group. This mic has a 3-way switch to change between different settings for basic voice recording, a -10dB setting for instruments or other loud directional sound, and an omni-directional setting good for recording multiple people. For my application, the two voice settings were too hot and I was clipping at the high end on my recordings. Had to use the -10dB setting which seemed to go a bit too far the other way and things were recoding a bit too low and I had to normalize the recordings afterward to bring the levels back up. One thing I noticed is that the recordings didn’t sound very lifelike using this setting. As if the mic was a bit too directional to adequately capture the sound emanating from the accordion which radiates in all directions from both ends of the instrument. I’m not sure I’d call this a fault of the mic. Rather i think it’s just a difficult instrument to record for an amateur with consumer grade equipment.
The mic was super easy to setup and configure and it works with all recording software I tried on my wife’s laptop. I tried Soundforge and Cool Edit Pro. I’m sure it works with pretty much anything else you might have too.
Final verdict: Great for consumer grade item, but don’t expect pro-quality for every possible situation. It’ll get the job done for most non-recording professionals.

It's a short cable I use for charging my phone in the car. The lightning connector gives a nice positive click feel when fully connected so you know it's full inserted and doesn't just fall out easily. Price was good too.

This ink gets the most use on my printer. I like that Canon has made several sizes available for this ink. My particular printer can use 3 different size tanks for this ink.

I really wish they would sell a pack that contains all of the ink I need in one box. The black inks (regular black and the bigger pigment black) are a lot more expensive than the other colors when sold alone.

Genuine ink is the way to go

Tried aftermarket ink in my old printer from a couple different vendors and they ended up causing problems with ink level detection and clogged print head. Other than high cost, I've never had issues with the real McCoy.

Good size. Adequate performance.

Considering the price here, you have to temper your expectations on performance compared to more expensive tablets. That said, it runs most things I've tried with what I consider acceptable speed. 16GB of storage goes quickly if you use it to take pictures or video or have lots of apps. Games can eat up space quickly. Fortunately you have the option to add a micro-SD card to expand the storage. Battery life is decent and the screen is very nice considering the attractive price here.

I love all of the Fallout games. This is another solid entry and maybe the biggest one yet. The downside is that if you've played Fallout 3, this is pretty much more of the same. That's either a good or a bad thing, depending on how you feel about that statement.

QcK mousepads are the top choice of esports pros. The legendary micro-woven cloth has made the QcK line the world’s best-selling gaming surface. Tested by the top mouse sensor manufacturer, the high thread count and smooth surface optimizes mouse tracking accuracy for both optical and laser sensors..
 

What material is used

Typical mouse pad material. Foam rubber (neoprene?) base with a cloth top surface. Nothing too special there beyond the XL size of the pad.

NETGEAR Universal Wi-Fi Dual-Band Range Extender: Add some extra power to your existing network and access the Internet in areas of your home that were once dead zones. The FastLane feature of this universal range extender offers high-speed Wi-Fi over a single band, which makes for quick and consistent HD gaming and video streaming.
 

Will this item be compatible with a Gateway device on a Honeywell Prestige thermostat. Home uses a Verizon mobile hot spot device as its router.

We have installed a WIFI thermostat for this customer. Customer does not have a router, but since they are in a rural area, they use a Verizon mobile hot spot device. I just want to make sure this range extender will link with the Gateway and thermostat.
It should work as long as the hotspot is broadcasting a wifi signal, this range extender should be able to connect to it. The hotspot is functioning as a router as you're explaining it and the range extender won't know the difference.

I bought some skull candy ear phones from best buy and they have been stolen. Can I replace them if I have a 2 year warranty?

It's a warranty, not an insurance policy. The Best Buy extended warranty covers breakage, either accidental or due to defect, not loss or theft. You could make a home-owner's insurance claim on it, but I highly doubt it would be worth it.

Expand your PC or Mac connectivity with this Insignia™ NS-PCH5420 USB hub, which interfaces with a single USB 2.0 port to enable connection of up to 4 USB devices. A 5V, 500 mA/port output delivers a rapid charge to compatible devices.
 

can this be used to plug printer to 2 computers to print from both?

No, this device is for connecting multiple devices to a single computer. What you're looking for is called a print server. I don't know if Best Buy still carries those or not. Some routers have this function built in. Alternatively, many newer printers support a feature called Air Print which allows any device with a wireless connection to your network to print directly to the printer.
