Old School Feel and LIGHT, GLORIOUS LIGHT!

I have always used MS keyboards and mice. Force of habit I suppose, but lately MS quality seems to last only as long as its every shortening warranty period. REMEMBER when MS keys and mice carried LIFETIME warranties? Then 5 year warranties? Now 2 years or less. There's a reason for that guys .....
Anyway, the time had come where I could no longer tolerate missing the first letter typed so I put the MS 5000 Laser where it belonged, the dumpster, and bought this unit. I replaced my mouse with the Logitech MX Revolution. Definitely a good combination!
i wanted an an illuminated keyboard. I do a lot of my paper writing at night and the warm (adjustable level) glow of the keys was appreciated. I love the old school tactile feel of the keys as opposed to the squishy feel that seems to be more popular these days, and I am old school enough to appreciate a sleek FLAT keyboard without any of the fancy rises and waves of newer ergonomic keys.
If any of you are old enough to remember the first IBM keyboards, and miss that kind of response and feel then this will trip you down memory lane nicely.
Best Buy offers this unit on sale at least once a month, so unless you have an immediate need, wait for it, and save a few bucks.
Just be advised Forumteers, that this is a CORDED keyboard but the USB length is still ample enough to allow me to move the keys onto my lap when typing when the mood fits me. It's not what one could consider a GAMING KEYBOARD, but for those of us who just need a workhorse with a stylish twist, this may be the light at the end of the keyboarding tunnel.
What's great about it: tacticle feel and of course illuminated keys
What's not so great: Wait, I'm still trying to think of something ....
I would recommend this to a friend!

This cover did not work!!! My son dropped his iPhone in the pool and it is ruined!!! I contacted the company and the only thing they will do id replace the cover!!! So he is going to have to pay 500 dollars to replace his iPhone. Maybe this product works most of the time and he just had a defective one but don't pay 80 bucks for something that may not even work and for sure you should not trust that it will!!!!

I Understand
July 7, 2012
I understand your frustration and anger and, forgive me for asking but did you do the one hour submersion test before applying the Lifeproof cover? I didn't think I was going to test mine, assuming that if it is factory fresh it has to be perfect, but I am very glad that I did.
After about 10 minutes I checked my brand new virgin case and lo and behold I noticed a water spot. I pulled it out of my glass checked it, and it was sealed properly, so I called the company who promptly overnight delivered a fresh one, which worked perfectly.
Testing is the key, and once again I am so sorry for your situation. In this economy having to replace an expensive iPhone is an unwelcome expense, but on the bright side there are authorized dealers who can and will repair water damaged phones for a modest price.
Hey man, thats something anyway, right?

I have been a Samsung user for the last 10 years or so, but after a bad experience where the set had to be repaired 3x in the same calendar year, it was time to explore other options.
I was very impressed in the store at the clarity and detail of this model, however when it was delivered I have to say my enthusiasm waned considerably. I had been used to using certain settings on the menu and sub menus but the picture left me flat.
However with a little experimenting and keeping an open mind, I found picture settings that are nothing less than stunning.
**A HINT** in the ADVANCED MENU, lower the GREEN level 2 clicks, in the darker register for a truly neutral picture. Otherwise everything in the darker registers has a slight, but annoying green pall to it.
The UPCONVERSION of the SONY compared to Samsung is night and day, with the Sony taking even the mediocre signal of Brighthouse and enhancing it beyond what the Samsung in the same price range can offer.
All in all I am content, the integration of my Yamaha / Samsung 4K home theater was a dream to set up and the quality is excellent. I was going to use the Sony 4K Blueray but honestly Samsung still has some features I like so why not have the best of both worlds?
All in all I think my entertainment dollar stretched well with this Sony 4K 3D TV.

We bought this as a replacement for a very expensive model that had quit working and unknown to us had a feature that we were able to connect our Wii to instead of having to connect it directly to the TV. Unfortunately this product was not set up for that and we had to connect the Wii directly into the TV which left me with a cord hanging down my wall while all the others were concealed behind the wall. Had I known I would have opted for a more advanced receiver. other than that we are happy with it.

Bring clear, powerful sound to the party with the SRS-XP500 Portable Wireless Speaker. Add extra juice to the hits with MEGA BASS and Sony’s unique X-Balanced Speaker units, and keep the energy going with up to 20 hours of battery life1 plus USB-C quick charging. Actual performance varies based on settings, environmental conditions, and usage. Battery capacity decreases over time and use.
Can you get two and create a stereo pair?
Absolutely. The Sony SRSXP500 Bluetooth Portable Wireless Speaker provides stereo sound already but adding another will provide a louder fuller sound

Can I purchase another set of SR1 rear speakers and connect them to this soundbar so I have 4 rears? How about adding an additional subwoofer as well?

Once the voice settings are chosen, say for a movie, will that setting continue as the default setting for all movies? Or must I constantly adjust the sound?
