Operate your computer seamlessly with the Logitech K845 Full-size Wired Mechanical Linear Keyboard. The curved construction and angled keys enable comfortable data entry, while the illuminated design lets you easily find keys in the dark. This corded Logitech mechanical keyboard has red switches for responsive performance during gaming and typing, and the aluminum top case offers durability.

The Logitech K845 Wired Linear Mechanical Keyboard is one of Logitech’s newer keyboards and is targeted both for regular users as well as gamers alike. It has a full 104-keyboard layout but has a smaller frame making it smaller than most regular keyboards (smaller than my Logitech K360). Being a linear mechanical keyboard, It offers the typing experience gamers love. Being touted having a Cherry Blue MX switch, a typing switch with tactile and audible feedback. It also works even when depressed halfway. This is great for serious typists but not serious gamers. Nonetheless, it will suffice for casual gamers.
And like most gaming keyboards, it is also backlit. Given that it is only in white, this gives me the impression that it is targeting both regular users and casual gamers. It has five modes for lighting namely: breathing light, random, greedy snake, reaction and static. Clearly this appeals to the latter. It, however, is not Logitech G Hub further indicating that it is not exactly a gaming keyboard but a hybrid one.
One thing I like about this keyboard is that it has an aluminum housing given that most gaming keyboards are entirely made of plastic. (I also have a Logitech gaming keyboard.) This definitely gives a premium feel to it.
Overall, this is a great keyboard catering for most people. And while some may prefer a membrane type of keyboard as this like gaming keyboards are quite noisy. Nonetheless, I’d recommend this to people looking for a well-built keyboard.

Great basic coffee maker
on October 1, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Mr. Coffee 12 cup or 60 oz programmable coffee is a nice coffee maker designed for bigger households and could make a good brew for one or six people assuming your one cup is a 10 oz cup. (Mr. Coffee measures one cup as 5 oz.)
This is a basic coffee maker that has a clock and a timer so that you could have your brew at a set time. It does have a reusable brew basket included but in my opinion using paper filters is better as they absorb oils and also the included reusable filter has a flat solid bottom meaning the brew comes out on the sides. (I wish the included reusable filter had a mesh bottom.) One thing I like here is that it has a strong brew option. It takes more time to brew coffee but definitely the coffee tastes better. Lastly there is a safety feature where it turns off after four hours. Now some people may find this too long. But for larger families or even in a small office this has the advantage of having hot coffee longer. All in all there is not much to say aside from it makes good coffee. So go ahead and brew your coffee!

Feel relief aid anywhere, anytime with Compex® Ayre™ compression boots. Designed for therapists, coaches, elite and recreational athletes on-the-go, Ayre is a therapeutic product using intermittent pneumatic compression. When exercising, the body builds up lactic acid as a biproduct of muscle contraction. Ayre compression boots work to break up these small molecules and send stimulus to your nervous system. These compression boots are designed to help improve blood flow and circulation in the legs by mobilizing lactic acid, access fluids, and other toxins. Compex Ayre uses a dynamic pulsing compression up the limbs in waves for the duration of its use, which helps promote quick healing. Sit back, power up the boots, and enjoy your recovery for up to 60 minutes anywhere on a single charge.

The wireless feature is a game changer
on September 17, 2020

The Compex Ayre Wireless Rapid-Recovery in essence functions as a non-medical grade sequential compression device (SCD) which is often used in hospitals and therapy clinics. That said it functions as advertised which is expected of this type of product. However, pumps in these devices are often bulky and wired making compression boots/devices a chore to use. Not so much with the Compex Ayre. As the description says, these are wireless. Meaning that each boot has its own rechargeable pump in each boot. And as per manufacturer’s claim, each boot can last up to three hours of use prior to recharging.
As someone who picked up biking as a hobby (due to Covid) and a type II diabetic, a pneumatic compression device (in this case a pair of boots) would definitely help relieve me from leg sores. Ang even though I mentioned these are not medical grade devices, these compression boots in an anecdotal sense also helps in relief for me as a diabetic. But definitely these help me reduce leg sores whenever I go biking. I haven’t biked much in the last several years so it’s natural that I am encountering leg sores.
And lastly these devices don’t come in cheap. The other advantage of the Compex Ayre is being competitive in price. Given that it does deliver its promise regarding performance and being competitively priced, I would definitely recommend this for others.

It works as advertised!

The Belkin USB-A Charger 24W is a nice small compact car charger. But wait. Aren’t all chargers compact and essentially function the same. Well while most compact car chargers can charge one or two phones at once, the performance is often limited by its power capacity. Most dual car chargers have a capacity of 5 watts. This wattage for the most part has worked fine for most of us. But since the iPhone 8 (AFAIK) has the capability to fast charge, this feature is often overlooked. And in real life, you really need a fast charger more on the road rather than at home (or maybe office). Hence, the Belkin dual USB 24-watt car charger comes in. It not only has one but two charging ports that both having 12 watts capacity. For this reason alone is why you should consider getting this charger. And with heavy traffic (in spite of the pandemic) this charger gives me a full charge in my iPhone whenever I travel the streets of LA. I’d definitely recommend this to a friend.

Still the best ANC headphones out there
on August 15, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
A lot of you probably by now have heard the top-rated Sony WH-1000MX3 by now. And you’re obviously curious about what the differences are between the WH-1000MX3 against the newly launched WH-1000MX4. Well to cut a long story short, the changes are more subtle and not a radical improvement. So does this mean the WH-1000MX4 is not a good buy? Let’s find out with my first impressions of the Sony WH-1000MX4.
On the aesthetics side, both the XM4 and XM3 are generally the same with Sony indicating the cuffs are slightly larger (10%) and the headband cushion a bit thinner. But truth be told this in my opinion is quite negligible as I can’t notice the difference unless both are side by side.
Sony boasts of a new DSEE chip called DSEE Extreme which provide better audio. But Sony even admits that the changes are subtle. And to my ears they are indeed subtle. But for those who aren’t familiar with the Sony sound signature, the same 40mm drivers put out balanced highs and mids. And compared to other Sony headphones has a stronger bass almost comparable to Sony’s WB series but with a little less distortion.
One new feature of the XM4 is the addition of multipoint Bluetooth meaning you can pair two devices at the same. And though other brands of headphones have this already, it is still a welcome addition. And at least Sony listens to its customers.
You probably also know that if you put your right hand on the right ear cuff, the sound is muted. Well Sony also included wearing detection that if you remove the headphones, the music will stop and continue once you put them back on. Again, Sony is not the first on this one. But then again, Sony upped the ante by adding a “Speak to Chat” feature wherein the music stops once you start speaking. (From my initial fiddling with this feature, it seems you have to manually start again the music.) And in case you do not want these features, these can be turned off in the Sony music app.
The XM4 AFAIK still uses the same QN1 chip for noise cancelling so I am assuming there’s not much to add here. But the XM4 now has a custom button wherein you can use the default noise cancelling control or program it to use Alexa or Google Play with the latter AFAIK to be discontinued in September by Google. This is not entirely new since my Sony XB900N already has this feature.
Like the XM3 and other models such as the XB900N, the XM4 also boasts a battery life of thirty hours. But oddly enough, I had the need to charge my XM4 within 24 hours of having it. Obviously, this is way below what Sony claims. But perhaps I still need to cycle the battery around three times to attain the battery’s full performance capabilities.

These are my initial impressions of the XM4 and is highly recommended. But if budget is a concern, the XM3 is still a good buy and prices are already dropping. But if you are willing to pay full price, the XM4 will be a good purchase.

It's a nice little coffee maker!

The Mr. Coffee 25 oz. Mini Brew programmable coffee is a nice little coffee maker for small households and could make a good brew for one or two people.
This is a basic coffee maker that has a clock and a timer so that you could have your brew at a set time. It does not have a reusable brew basket included and it uses 4 cup paper filters.
There is not much more to say aside from the fact that makes good coffee. And Mr. Coffee practically invented and popularized the automatic drip coffeemaker way back in the seventies. That alone says everything. And be assured you are getting a quality coffee maker at a reasonable price.

Designed specifically for mobile gaming, JBuds Air Play are perfect for playing your favorite games on your phone, from Call of Duty Mobile and Fortnite to Clash Royale. With 30+ hours total playtime, they feature a Gaming Mode for super low latency and C3 Chatting for crystal clear clarity sound so you can battle, chat, compete and play with a seamless connection.

The JLab Audio - JBuds Air Play Gaming TW Earbuds is latest earbuds from this company. And though this is touted as a gaming headset due to reduced latency, it is really a Bluetooth 5 pair of earbuds so latency is expected to be reduced. Marketing tactics? Maybe so. But then again is it really good for gaming?
First the JBuds Air Play Gaming TW earbuds are stored in a charging case which looks like a combination of a gaming and jewelry box. Like other JLab TW earbuds (I have two others), the charging cable is integrated in the case so you don’t need to bring a cable. You do need to find a charger or an outlet that has USB to charge the case. The most notable improvement with this pair of earbuds is that battery life is comparable now with other brands. Each charge of the earbuds has around six hours and an additional 24 hours from the charging case.
Compared to other JLab BT earbuds (I have three not TW buds on top of the two I also have), the sound signature is significantly different. Quite often Jlab buds have this boxy overall sound. Bass is pretty decent but somehow the mids and highs are muffled. It’s fine if you’re into heavy bass like hip hop, but if you want clarity look elsewhere. The JBuds Air Playing Gaming buds have better bass and highs thereby offering better clarity but lacks in bass. Also, I am a bit disappointed that the codec is AAC and not the better AptX.
Now for gaming, I have downloaded Call of Duty and Asphalt 9 on my Pixel 4 XL. And given that this is a fast phone, I expected some latency like my other BT headsets (most likely 4/4.2). And eventually the JBuds did offer reduced latency and can keep up with the action. Of course, I wasn’t expecting 7.1 like sounds like I was playing in a PC with a high end headset. But then again, we’re talking about TW earbuds here.
The JBuds Air Play Gaming headset performs as promised. But for me the lack of bass is somewhat of a downer though battery life is greatly improved. Call quality I must add is greatly improved as it has binaural sound unlike the older JBuds Air which is monoaural. I’d still recommend this for everyone.

Guard your iPhone 11 with this black LifeProof WAKE case. The built-in scratch protector defends the screen and camera from cracks when placed facedown, while the slim, lightweight profile ensures easy transportation in a pocket or bag. This LifeProof WAKE case has a shockproof feature that protects from damage in case of accidental falls.

The Lifeproof brand of cases may not be well known to a lot of people. But for those in the know, Lifeproof offers a range of rugged cases competing directly with OtterBox. In fact, it competed directly with OtterBox, that Otter Products (the parent company) eventually bought Lifeproof.
The product I am reviewing here is the Lifeproof Wake case which is a one-piece case designed for the iPhone 11. Being designed for the iPhone 11, it has a perfect fit on the iPhone 11 including the buttons. And since the iPhone 11 has the same form factor as the iPhone XR, it naturally fits the later. (And even the case says so.) Of course, the camera hole would differ.
The case I am reviewing is colored black and has a wavy design at the back. In pictures it seems cheesy in my opinion. But upon seeing the actual product, it is very cool. And perhaps it is also tied up to its ocean friendly branding, The plastic seems sturdy but it feels a bit slipper. Perhaps over time it will have a betty feel as oils may be gone from the plastic. Who knows? It’s still early to tell.
The drop test is certified at two meters or six feet which I believe is rather low for cases made by Lifeproof (and Otter). Nonetheless six feet for me is more than enough for normal use cases. Also being a one piece snap-on case, it is not water proof nor snow proof in which Lifeproof is known for.
Nonetheless, the Lifeproof Wake case seems to be a durable and stylish case. And definitely worth considering. I would definitely recommend this product.

Nice battery powered mixer
on July 9, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Hand mixers have been around for decades. So what does KitchenAid have to offer for consumers? Well this new hand mixer from KitchenAid is cordless which is a rarity in hand mixers. Quite often cables get in the way of preparing food and though it may a simplistic concept, it is a very nice convenience in preparing food.
I am not into baking (more into bbq actually), so I asked my wife to put this cordless mixer to the test and also get her inputs. Quite obviously the absence of a cord makes baking a convenience. But what we really liked about this mixer is that it has a very slight delay when going full throttle even at its lowest setting. Why is this so? It is an annoyance for anybody baking that eggs and batter splatter once the mixer is used. Even if you use a corded mixer at its lowest setting, splatter often occurs.
Another thing that impressed us is the power. Though you may not be impressed with the power at the mixer’s lower settings (though in some cases you need lower settings), once you put the settings on the higher levels, it can really compete with corded mixers. The mixer has seven settings so you can choose or fine tune the level of mixing of the mixer.
Ok so it’s strong but what about battery life? KitchenAid boasts that this mixer can do around 200 cookies and that’s a lot. We really haven’t baked 200 cookies but we have already made four cakes and several omelets and the battery is still strong. Moreso, the mixer has a slim profile which is smaller than most corded mixers which makes storage a lot easier.
Only time will tell if the battery will last. But in the meantime, our family is enjoying the convenience of this mixer and will definitely recommend this to others.

This pad comes with a Belkin QuickCharge 3.0 Power Supply, and is available in both black and white.

The Belkin Wireless Charging Pad is a sleek white colored round Qi charging pad that boasts of a fast 10W charging capacity. Adding to its sleekness are rubber feet both at the bottom and top of the charging pad so that neither your phone nor the charging pad will easily slip. A charging light is also added to indicate if you have placed your phone correctly or not.
I have tested this side-by-side with another 10-watt charger (the brand I will not mention). And from my initial observation performs like what a 10-watt charger should. It’s not magic. And don’t expect it to be as an 18-watt PD charger. Still this is the fastest rating you’ll get from a wireless charger. You may see other brands boasting a 15-watt capacity but they tend to overheat. Hence, 10-watts is the go-to spec for wireless charging. And the Belkin does not disappoint.

By rangerdon
This is a fine camera in many ways, but after losing some photos and a conversation with Panasonic, I learned that you must use the included panasonic software to download photos. (I use Picasa.) That makes the camera less than 5 star, since iPhoto would have the same problem - so if you buy this, and it is a fine piece of equipment, use their photofun software to downloard

Internet not exactly slow and processor not bad
November 24, 2016
The wifi performance is good. However I found it odd that when I used fast.com to measure speed, the phone registered 20 mbps which by itself pretty good if you're using a phone. But since I ran it simultaneously with my pc, my pc had a 70 mbps. Also the processor is not bad. It is not the latest and is commonly found in low end or rather entry level android phones. If you want a better phone you might want to consider the POP 4S which is similar but has an octa-core processor at 1.8 GHz, 2GB RAM 13 mp camera with a fingerprint sensor at $170. This sells for $150. So the $20 dollar difference is worth it. But the Black Friday deal sells at $50. So I got this phone. :)

I wanted to like this phone. The specs were just fine. The screen was just fine. The only complaint I had was that the phone reboots frequently. Fresh off a factory reset, it would constantly reboot before I could even set it up. As a software engineer, I am disappointed that software like this can even be released. This is not the way to showcase a brand and the reason for many returns on otherwise perfectly fine hardware.

Letting it rest seems to do the trick.

A lot of Alcatel models are like this including my Pop 4+. It seems that if you have a boot loop, let the phone rest for a few minutes then restart. do this even if you have wiped data. But this shouldn't happen at all especially for a new phone.

By Reona945
The phone keeps restarting even though the battery has more than enough charge. I've tried a hard reset and that hasnt helped. A factory reset stopped the cycle and i managed to use the phone for like 20 minutes and the phone restarted. When we ordered the phone, we also ordered a case from a third party. At first we thought the case was pressing the power button because it was a tight fit but it didnt seem right. There was also an incident i had in the past with the one touch evolve that was exactly the same. I would like to hear back and now if this can be fix :) Have a nice Day!

2 out of 5Reboot loop
By Proz
After having the phone for less than 1 month, I took it on vacation where I didn't have service. On the way my phone started to restart randomly. When I arrived at my destination the phone started into a reboot loop. If I caught it booting up quick enough occasionally I could navigate for a couple minutes. Even after I was able to get wifi connected and any other setting I thought could affect it such as gps location disabled the phone continued into the reboot loop. After researching on many blogs and andriod q and a sites I couldn't find a helpful answer to remedy the issue. I reluctantly did a factory reset but the loop continued. Finally, after returning back home I attempted to use the phone and it returned to "normal". I am very dissatisfied and I am generally very easy to please. I will be looking for another device to replace this asap.

I also did the factory reset to ease the symptoms. But it seems to be the gps module as then random reboots often occur when I am in my car and mobile. Also when I use Yelp and try to get directions, the phone restarts. No problem when I'm home though.

Got this on Black Friday. Considering the price, awesome laptop, used for about a month, no complaints what so ever.

4 out of 5Good quality, but issue with 4G
By Praveen
I purchased this phone on black Friday because bestbuy was selling at $50, the phone had 2-yrs warranty, and Alcatel is one of the few good brands. I was excited about this purchase thinking that I paid only $50, but my excitement did vanish in a couple of days when I found that the phone restarts itself. After keeping an eye on the phone for a few days, I found that it restarts only when I drive or I am in a remote area. I googled about the issue and luckily found the reason behind restart. I am using T-mobile connection and had turned 4G LTE on. The 4G LTE service of T-mobile is not available in all areas of ABQ and therefore whenever I drove in areas where T-mobile signal was weak, phone used to restart. My phone never restarted in my school or in my house as T-mobile signal is excellent in these places. To fix the issue, I changed the network settings in my phone and set 3G as the default data service and after that it never restarted.
So, if any of you are facing restart issue, just stop using 4G LTE and use 3G. This solution worked for me. Hopefully it might work for you,too.
My finding is - this phone supports 4G only if the strength of the signal is excellent, otherwise, it restarts itself. But I don't know why doesn't it ,like other brands, work in case of bad signal. My friend has samsung phone and she never had the restart issue though we go to all the places together in the same car.
All other features of this phone are like samsung phone - my the most favorite brand. I haven't observed any other issue and the phone works like charm. Speed, sound quality (the default music player doesn't have equalizer, so you might try VLC music player), picture+video quality, and call quality are just superb. Finally I started loving this phone.

Alcatel is aware of this issue

I called tech support and was informed that there is an issue with this phone. Alcatel promptly replaced my phone with newer firmware and presumably hardware and the problems of random reboots have gone.

The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse was aggressively benchmarked against market-leading symmetrically shaped mice. We wanted a design and shape that instantly felt better from the very first touch. Our aim was to have a shape that made it feel like you had nothing in your hand both in terms of a neutral shape and low weight. We wanted to do this without putting holes in the surface to cut down on mass as many competitors have done. We call it extreme lightweight engineering, and with a weight of only 68g we think the name checks out. The pride and glory of the Burst Pro is the Titan Switch Optical. The first generation of ROCCAT mice to feature the technology, the Titan Switch Optical brings game-changing benefits. Tuned for speed and durability, gamers get a familiar click feel – no learning curve – that functions at the speed of light, and with no more double-click issues. The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Pro Gaming Mouse features a striking translucent honeycomb shell that gives a smoky, hazy showcase to the AIMO lighting engine while protecting against dirt and dust. Weighing only 68g, the shell also keeps weight to an absolute minimum. As well as the Titan Switch Optical, the Burst Pro features a PhantomFlexTM cable that virtually disappears, for a near-wireless experience, and a 16K dpi Owl-Eye optical sensor. In yet another industry first, the Burst Pro features heat-treated glides that are a step above PTFE mouse feet. They are pre-tuned for incredibly smooth glide right out of the box.
This mouse just got released on 30 October and it sold out?

why is the mx3 the same price as the mx4 if there is no major changes?
Prices are dropping elsewhere. Perhaps when the MX4s actually arrive by the 21st, prices in Best Buy would also lower.

hello i was considering purchasing last years model but i read numerous reviews mentioning that the touch controls would malfunction in cold weather has this issue been adressed?
No one really knows for sure as it is summer. But since Sony doesn't say anything about this, I guess it's safe to assume that the issue hasn't been really solved for now.
