When I'm looking to save or relocate files I reach for a Cruz stick and do not think anything else about it, its that reliable. It may not be the fastest memory stick around but it is reliable and long durability is a must for many of us.

Needed more then the 32gig or 64gig sticks I had on hand to address some file transfers and still have room for some tools to fix a bad system. This thumb drive fit the need and performed perfectly under heavy use and being dropped a few times with not much damage and no hit in performance.

Make sure you get the correct Language

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to install a new version of windows for a re-build PC and purchased the Windows 10 OS from Best Buy, unfortunately I was not aware that it was the "Spanish" version until I got home and tried to install it but could not as I do not read nor speak much Spanish. In the pass MS always provided different languages built into the OS install Medium but this is no longer the case. I had to return this and get the English version. This was just a mistake by the sales person and me not being aware that MS has changed how it provides the Windows OS via a thumb drive with a specific language ... Lesson learned and You be careful to read what language is showing on the box.

This card does a great job running games and everything else you could throw at it. However make sure your Desktop has enough room for it. The length of the card is a little long and may not fit into your computer case.

Perfect With a Display Port (DP) addaptor

Posted by: NelsonVe2

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Monitor has one of the best picture quality I have seen, however to get the best picture you would need to attach a Display Port adapter on the monitors DVI port and connect the DP plug to the Graphics card on your PC. While DVI to DVI works and provide a good picture quality it pales when compared to using the DP port of the PC.

The Hard Drive (HD) worked fine and passed every test I could put it through. While no regular, Mechanical, HD can match the speed of an SSD HD they do provide more capacity for storage then you will get with most SSD drives. However this drive is plenty fast for normal everyday use and has plenty of room.

Well the fan works as it should, it plugs directly onto the Motherboard, this is always the best way to go when you want to limit excess cable connections and it provides feedback information to the motherboard and the software to increase or decrease the fans speed automatically.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Well MS has upgraded the way they deliver the windows product by using thumb drives instead of CD/DVD medium. It installed perfectly on a rebuild desktop system. Everything came up perfectly ... Note you should have a network connection when you do the install so that MS can update the drivers and files during the install.

Ideal picture settings

Newly purchased. Good picture out of box. Could use some tweeking. I have been trying to find a site with recommendations. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
QAM stands for quadrature amplitude modulation, the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable television providers. QAM is used in a variety of communications systems such as Dial-up modems and WiFi. In cable systems, a QAM tuner is linked to the cable in a manner that is equivalent to an ATSC tuner which is required to receive over-the-air (OTA) digital channels broadcast by local television stations when attached to an antenna. Most new HDTV digital televisions support both of these standards. QAM uses the same 6 MHz bandwidth as ATSC, using a standard known as ITU-J.83b.
In short it will depend on your cable provider whether you can use your TV directly on the cable coaxial connector but nothing to lose if you try.

Bluetooth Versus USB Wireless

I have a Logitech USB wireless mouse and keyboard for my old laptop which does not have Bluetooth. I have a new Surface and a Bluetooth mouse for it. I would like to get a Bluetooth keyboard WITH the numeric keypad all in one unit for the surface but the only ones I find do not have the keypad ATTACHED (the keypads can be purchased separately or are separate units). I can use the USB keyboard with the Surface but I have to switch the USB receiver from the old laptop to the surface which I don't want to do as I may be using each interchangeably. I can get another USB keyboard for the Surface but then I will have two USB wireless devices going to two separate computers which may or may not cause problems (only the two keyboards would be USB wireless). I don't know why they don't make a full keyboard with Bluetooth but if anyone knows of one I would like to know. I guess my question is does anyone think having two USB wireless keyboards will be a problem? Thanks.
Good question!
It is OK to use two of the same type of wireless keyboards as each keyboard will use a different signal, in Logitech's case the newer peripherals equipment can use the same USB transmitter so that you can have mouse, keyboard and/or camera using the one signal but the default would be single use.
So in short the answer is YES you can have two of the same type of devices (keyboard in this case) next to each other with no problems.

Roku 3: Access more than 1,500 channels in up to 1080p and view videos from Netflix and YouTube directly on your TV. Fast, powerful and loaded with features, the motion-sensing remote lets you play games or plug in headphones to watch late-night flicks without waking up the household.
 

Is there a subscription fee to watch the "1,500 entertainment channels" advertised in the Product Features section?

.....and what are some of those "entertainment channels?" CBS, NBC, etc; or something else?
In most cases yes there is a monthly fee for most of these services however there are some that are free but to get all that they offer you would have to pay a fee or put-up with annoying advertisement.
Even with this it is still cheaper in the long run to use the Roku with the services you would use the most such as Netflix and Amazon.

Compataility of K400 Keyboard

can you confirm if the K400 Logitec keyboard will work with my Samsung UN32F5500AFXZ2 Smart TV?
Does the Samsung TV state the you need a "Compatible" keyboard or did they specified a keyboard? If they did not and you are plunging the keyboard adapter onto a USB port use what ever wireless keyboard you like. Personally I prefer a plugin keyboard but your choice is just as valid and should work fine.

How to test if the wireless keyboard will work? just plug in a wired keyboard and if it works you know that the USB port is providing the power you'll need for the the wireless adapter to connect your keyboard.

Hope this helps,

broken wrist

I am left handed and recently broke my left wrist. Im in a brace with limited mobility. Can anyone recommend a good mouse option for me.
Sorry to hear about your injury, What mobility do you have? can you move your thumb and one or two fingers? If you can then the best solution I can think of for you would be a Trackbal mouse. you use one hand and the mouse is stationary while you move the cursor with the trackball with one finger or your thumb. This requiters very little movement of the wrist.
Look up "Trackbal Mice" on the Best Buy page or do a general search on the net.

Hope this helps

Why does "Gaming Keyboards" only display mice?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pc-gaming-hardware/gaming-keyboards/pcmcat304600050014.c?id=pcmcat304600050014&gf=y&cp=3

Somewhere, things are mislabeled.
Well I haven't seen that in some time, The gaming keyboards have more keys and functions then normal keyboards and some do have a mouse pad on them or can be setup to use some of your keys to behave like a mouse. On the good side most of the gaming keyboards come with software to "Customize" the keyboard to your liking. Check to make sure that no option for a mouse emulator is set to on or enabled, if it is turn that function off. If there is no mention of this option and no visible mouse pad on the keyboard look to see if there is an update driver for the keyboard from the manufacturers site.
Hope this helps
