The Combo Touch has a row of function keys at the top of the keyboard with a home button, brightness control, volume, search, keyboard backlight and play/pause. The Combo Touch case adds mass, durability and rigidity to the iPad. The adjustable kickstand on the back is of a conventional design for standing the iPad up. A Pencil loop is on the side. The speakers are heard through openings in the top and bottom. The Lightning port is available through a cutout center bottom. There is an opening for the rear microphone. You can navigate the iPad by using gestures on the trackpad. Five brightness levels let you see what you’re typing. The keys are well-spaced and go from edge-to-edge. The keyboard uses a scissor mechanism beneath each key for a tactile feel that is great for extended hours of use. It has four main modes; Typing, Viewing, Sketching and Reading. The Combo Touch keyboard uses the iPad Smart Connector for power – no charging needed.
1. Case is protective
2. Full support for gestures
3. Integrated stand
4. Keyboard easily detachable
5. Keyboard uses the Smart Connector – no charging needed
6. Logitech Control app provides additional settings and firmware updates
7. Loop for Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon storage
8. Matte glass trackpad is smooth and reactive
9. Tactile keys
10. Variable backlight
11. Woven outer fabric looks and feels classy
Nice!

Great workout "buds" that stay put.
on June 11, 2020
Posted by: jhancock

The Skullcandy Push Ultra true wireless sports earbuds (Bluetooth® 5) are truly designed for wearing during activities as varied as meditation (they are quite comfortable) to vigorous sports/exercises such as tennis or aerobics. Wearables that are unobtrusive, comfortable and easy to use are a great way to experience music while being active. The moldable ear hooks enable the “buds” to be both comfortable and resilient. The built-in microphone can be accessed from either bud as they are designed to be used individually or as a pair. The case(USB-C) and buds are both rapid charge capable. The ubiquitous “voice assistant” is available for activation. They are compatible with the Skullcandy app. I love their Gloss Black on Matte Black theme. Last but by no means least they include Tile tm which makes them harder to misplace or lose.

Great way to preserve a great bottle of wine!
on May 23, 2020

The Coravin Model Five is my second Coravin wine opener / pourer / preserver, it is what I would call the base model. Like my previous Coravin it is handsome, well-designed and tough. It is the classic with a twist, the innovative, new SmartClamps™ that make it easier and even more stable to use. The wine when saved with this system should be palatable (maybe a year later if stored correctly) - so far my wine has not needed to be stored that long. It came with 3 Coravin Pure Capsules and 1 Coravin Screw Cap – very cool way to preserve a fine screw top wine. I will probably end up buying more Screw Caps. It can save a great bottle of wine – Priceless.

Great quite percussive massage
on May 10, 2020
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
The Theragun Elite is my third massage device and my first percussive one. It has features that none of my other massagers had. The Theragun Elite is my first rechargeable making for portability and ease of use, and my first OLED screen on a massager, providing frequency and amount of impact along with battery life (120 minutes) information. The OLED screen is located for easy viewing and has great contrast for readability. It is super quiet compared to my older massage units due to great sound isolation through advanced sound insulation. It drives deep into muscle tissue disrupting pain cycles and leaves me with relaxed muscles. It is light enough for extended use while still having enough mass to keep your hand from getting vibration numbness. The Elite has variable speeds (5) and multiple attachments allowing for a great combination of impact focus and pressure. It came with a nice protective carrying case making it great for travel with a full-sized handheld massage unit. This Theragun works with Bluetooth connectivity for integration into your mobile app functionality. Plus, it looks cool.
Take away –

Ergonomic
Great muscle relaxation and pain reduction

Phenomenal Stick Vac for all floors
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
This is my third Dyson vacuum cleaner (they are all in use and spread out around the house). The suction on this one combined with the automatic multi-floor head functionality is superb for picking up loose ends of yarn, dirt and dust, shedding hair and other debris that finds its way to the floor. It is now my favorite vacuum as it is even better than my V10 power wise and especially when I go from one type of flooring to another. It has enough run time that I do not run out of power (it varies power usage automatically based on floor type). The V11 comes with a nice selection of tools to handle non floor related or edge of room and corner tasks. The wall mountable storage and charging station is handy. You can store the other tools on the main tube (it has a holder that clips in place) or on the charging station. The V11 weighs slightly more than the V10 probably due to making more power available.
Awesome machine! - and it looks cool!!

Super Fast Wi-Fi, easy to install

The ARRIS SURFboard mAX Pro Wireless-AX11000 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System is AWESOME. The mAX in the name is for the ax designator in the wi-fi spec 802.11ax making for a very apt name. I have used it to connect a variety of devices. The connection is consistent and provides good range through a complex environment. The satellite is used to handle several Ethernet connected computers. SPEED is superb and is running around 3 times as fast as my prior mesh system. I am on a 1G service and all family members can stream active content simultaneously including 4K. The four Ethernet ports are being used with one connecting to a router to handle more hardwired connections. The speed increase with 802.11ac devices is awesome and provides a solid connection so far with no drops.
FAST, FAST and MORE FAST!

Perfect Posture Prompter!
on October 20, 2019
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
I was always a sloucher, both while sitting and standing. This posture corrector is changing that.
Vibrations are sent as reminders when I slouch. The device is small and unobtrusive. The packaging also includes a nonstick case and adhesive pads. Use the app to walk you through set up on your iOS or Android device - which is simple. After your Bluetooth device and app are connected stick the Upright Go 2 to the upper center of your back and calibrate it (very simple).
It has two modes Training and Tracking. In Training Mode, it vibrates when you slouch. In Tracking Mode it only tracks your posture status - no vibrations. It has a variety of settings to accommodate virtually any preference in alert style. It is quiet. You set up a personalized training program aimed at improving your posture over two weeks.
It Works!!

Hear the world on your terms by controlling the sound around you. Innovative technologies in Bose Hearphones amplify softer sounds, let you turn down the distractions in noisy environments and focus on what you want to hear.
 

Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.

They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens on this Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II digital camera features a 3.6x optical zoom to help you bring subjects into focus for detailed photos and videos. Optical SteadyShot stabilization enables clear image capture.Memory card sold separately.
 

Best way to get clear low light shots with action

What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
