Enhance the range and quality of your Wii gameplay. This officially licensed wireless replacement sensor bar is designed to extend the play range of your Wii system, providing maximum tracking performance to ensure that your every motion comes alive in your favorite games. Adjustable distance settings make the sensor bar ideal for use in large or small rooms, and a convenient one- or two-hour automatic shutoff feature helps conserve battery life for extended play. A low-battery indicator light provides you with a visual cue when the power is running low so you can minimize the chance of unexpected game interruptions.

Does that it says

I got this because I needed the sensor bar wireless, not because it allows for a larger throw distance than the stock bar that comes with the Wii U.
I like that it requires no special installation on the Wii. Just turn it on and the Wii finds it like magic. You can leave it on all the time, which will kill the batteries if you use it wireless (wired you'll be fine, leave it on all day). I use the auto-off which saves the batteries, but does add the inconvenience of having to turn it on every time you use it.
If you are not playing games that need the Wii mote, like using the pro controllers or the one with the screen built in, then you don't need to bother turning it on anyway.
It works great, I don't love that it requires a frequent manual turn on or battery is dead, but that's the game with a wireless device like that. Otherwise, there's nothing to dislike.

Excellent sound, but not cheap and odd display
on November 25, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I LOVE the sound from this. It is clear, clean, bassy, and loud. The sub-woofer is great. It can be connected via wire to the bar, or be wireless. I use it wireless and don't experience any delay or other issues that might arise from wireless.
Another thing I both like and don't like is the display. Rather than have an LCD display with letters and whatnot, there is a small horizontal row of a half dozen LEDs that do all the work. They are hidden among the grill and are completely invisible when not in use, giving it a nice clean look. Sometimes the display does not clearly let you know what is going on. For example, the display shows what input you are in, but a dot in a line does not clearly let you know if you are using HDMI, optical or RCA. I do like that the LEDs show your volume level (that is easy to understand) and then disappears.
It wasn't the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive and worth the extra cost.

So handy, I wonder how I lived without it

Verified Purchase:Yes
This wasn't the cheapest, but I got it because it had 3 USB ports and each is 2.1A, which is powerful enough to charge 3 high drain tablets/cell phones at once.
I've charged two android tablets and an iPad at once without any issues. Its so handy to have the USB ports and multiple outlets without USB adapters taking up the plugs. It's been reliable.

Well worth it, sturdy and handy

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had a few cases by this brand before. They hold up to a beating well, the included holster is pretty durable, but it will break if you are rough enough with it. The built in kickstand on the phone is super useful. I can't imagine having a case without that feature any more.

Cost a bit more than others, but worth it
on November 25, 2016
Posted by: tobias
from Mesa, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a ton of discs, and I need something like this. I originally bought a much cheaper generic one from BB but had to return it due to a lack of quality. This holds a bit less, but was worth it. I've had a few of these before and they hold up pretty well to repeated use. The discs are stored safe and last long in this case.

Cheap but capacious

Verified Purchase:Yes
I knew it was cheap going in, but everything about this feels cheap in and out. I got two of theses originally, but one of them had half of the pockets upside down. It does what it says, it holds as many discs as claims and that is it. I don't expect it to hold up to much usage, but I need it for archive anyway. If I was to Cary it around much I would get a different one.

Simple and worth the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I liked the quality looking metal, so I chose this over other plastic ones with comparable features. I like that you can have the scale zero out with a cup or bowl on the scale so there's no guess work when adding stuff to a mix. This scale also can be used for heavier objects than some other scales. I also use this to weigh postal packages (although this isn't meant for that purpose). Lastly, I like that it has a low profile so stores easy in my kitchen shelving.

Simple install/use, good price, reliable enough
on January 22, 2016
Posted by: tobias
from Mesa, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I read a ton about this and other products before buying. What I liked about this solution is that unlike most others, it was a complete kit, no extra hubs or adapters needed. Also, this can integrate with Wink smart home hub if you wish. Installation is really simple, you don't need to be a handyman. The ability to have the system email you with rule-based options is great. Using IFTTT, I get a phone call in addition to the alert email.
I did have a slight issue where the unit was not working when my car was in the garage, only when it was empty. But following a suggestion from the support site, I simply slid it off the mount, rotated it 180deg and put it back, flawless ever since.
Simple to install, simple to use, and so far pretty reliable. If I had an Insteon hub or SmartThings hub, I'd get something different. But with Wink or with no hub, this is the winner. When on sale, it's easy to get this for under $100, so that makes it that much a better deal.

Great movie, lots of extras

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everyone knows that the movie is great, and having it in 3D and 2D is wonderful. On the 2D disc, there is a bevy of extra features. And unlike the usual "behind-the-scenes" stuff (which there is enough of that, too), there is unique and original content, some of which appears to have been filmed just for the disc release. Top notch stuff.

I read a lot of reviews before I got this one. The thing that set this apart from the competition for me was the number of zones it has for the price. The app is good, the ability to mount indoors our out and the power line network connection round out a good product for a good price.

How does the Harmony Elite work with Sony PS4
Yes. The hub connects to the PS4 via Bluetooth as like an AV remote. If you bought the additional wireless AV remote from Sony, you can't use it and the hub. You have to choose one or the other, and I chose the hub. You won't have to sacrifice any game controllers, though.

Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.
Is port forwarding supported? Can a static IP address be assigned/reserved?
Yes, you can make IP reservations for specific devices. It's all done through the app on your iOS or Android device. The device has to be connected to your router first. Then it won't get reassigned to the new IP address until after it requests a new IP address from the router (I usually reboot the device to move the process along faster).

When I play on my Xbox and my sister watches Netflix my Xbox lags.Will these fix that issue or no?
Maybe yes and maybe no. I noticed that multiple devices could connect better with this hub, but if a device is really sapping all the bandwidth, that won't help you too much. Google Wifi allows you to set a device as priority for a period of time. So you could go into the app that controls your google wifi and set your Xbox as the priority device when that happens. It won't be a permanent setting change, but it will help out in a pinch.

K360 Keyboard
Will this keyboard work with my M510 Logitech mouse on my Windows 8.1 From 1 USB port?
Yes, if the M510 uses the Unifying USB adapter, then you can use the same adapter for both, if not, you can use one for each, but they won't conflict and both will benefit from the SetPoint software if you have it installed. I'm using this keyboard with a M570 mouse and the one Unifying adapter that came with the mouse.

Does this keyboard have a CAPS LOCK indicator, either lighted or otherwise? It's a necessary feature for high production.
Yes, the CAPS indicator is on the left side of the power switch (top right of the keyboard), but you can't tell it's there unless its activated. Also, if you have the free SetPoint software installed, you will have a notice on the screen for a second when Caps is activated and deactivated.
