Nice Small Keyboard/Trackpad for Entertainment Use
on November 12, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this keyboard/trackpad unit for use with a Raspberry Pi 2 running OSMC (home entertainment centre software.)
The Pi supports the keyboard decently, with most of the keys working properly. The function key doesn't seem to work; but that hasn't been a concern for my use.
I like the compact, lightweight design which allows me to stuff it in an out-of-the-way corner when not in use. The power switch is a bit awkward- I would like it to be a bit more tactile. I also see absolutely no reason for the yellow left-click button in the upper left hand corner of the unit- I keep hitting it when I'm going for the escape key.
The unit meets my needs, and I can't really complain of the performance and while backlighting would have been nice; I didn't think it justified the significant price jump to that model.
So if you have a Raspberry Pi and are using as an entertainment centre running OSMC (aka Kodi) then this is a decent wireless keyboard.

Good, Basic USB Extended Keyboard
on November 12, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased for a rarely used Mac Mini that suffered a keyboard failure. Since the computer is only used for about six hours a month; I couldn't really justify buying another over priced Apple Extended Keyboard.
This is a solid plastic keyboard with low action keys. The layout is standard windows and while attached to a Mac, the windows key acts as the Apple/Command key. Some of the custom keys work (volume) while others don't. Not a big deal since the primary keyboard functions work fine.
Since it is a very cheap keyboard, it should be noted that there is no USB hub present in the unit, so there is only an attached cable- no plugging your mouse into the keyboard. This is NOT clearly stated in BestBuy's description which says "Number Of USB Port(s): 1" and "USB Port(s): Yes." Now I translated that to mean it had a USB port on the keyboard, it doesn't. I would have liked a port.
So, yes; it is an acceptable, very basic keyboard for limited use. I doubt it would stand up to 8 hour/day use.
I would recommend based on those qualifications.

Decent UPS, Replacing Battery May be Problem.
on September 29, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this unit (actually the second of this same model I have) to replace an APC unit that had a battery failure. I would have purchased a new battery for the APC Back UP ES 550 if they didn't cost almost more than this entire unit by CyberPower.
The unit if very small and light, making me think the battery is going to be very small as well. It weighs significantly less than the other CyberPower 450 I have, reinforcing my belief.
I wish the power button was on the side, next to the power cable and RJ-11 jacks instead of on the face with the plugs, as I now have the power button slightly covered by a plug due to the odd shape connectors found on most electronics these days. I do not use the software as I do not leave equipment turned on when unattended, but I have had power outages with these units in place and have had plenty of time to power things down- or leave running depending on what is still connected. My other units are 4 years old now, and have not needed battery replacement, hopefully this unit will be comparable.

Wireless Mouse for Small Hands, Poor Apple Support
on September 29, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mouse to replace a wired mouse for my mother, who has very small hands. The unit is smaller than what we used to call "travel mice" and is shorter in length than my fingers- and I have small hands. It is very responsive and light touches are all that is needed if the unit is kept clean.
I am very disappointed in the Apple MacOS support by this unit. While my wireless trackball by Logitech includes an extension that lets me program buttons to my liking, this mouse has absolutely NO support other than as a basic wireless mouse. If you do purchase this for use on a mac, download USB Overdrive shareware to program the track wheel buttons. I recommend with reservations, come on Logitech- software support please?

Great Sale Price on Higher Quality microSD
on June 1, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this card to replace an old Kingston Class 4 card in my Raspberry Pi 2B. These microcomputers use a microSD as both the BIOS and the home for their OS so the cards see constant activity instead of the more common bursts these cards see in cameras or phones.
That said, the Samsung PRO card seems to handle the load better, and is quite a bit faster. The EVO line is known to fail in the Pi's, but the PRO series seems to be a bit more robust. When on sale, the price difference was only $4, but the reliability factor cannot be overlooked. The PRO series reads at 90 MB/s while the EVO only does 48 MB/s, which allows the Pi to perform that much better.

Shield your Apple iPad Air against bumps, shocks and drops with this OtterBox Defender Series 17-12977 case that features a high-impact polycarbonate shell, durable silicone liner and built-in screen protector for reliable defense.
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
Otterbox cases do a good job of offering full protection to delicate electronics. They are, however, something of a chore to put on and you must be dilligent in cleaning everything before installing because you won't want to remove it later.
The rubber parts of the case collect dust easily, but that is a function of allowing grip. While no one will claim these cases are pretty, they are very functional.

Good Performing Trackball, Should be Bluetooth.
on February 20, 2015
Posted by: js114
Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit was purchased to replace a 10 year old Logitech Trackman Wheel, which is the usb-wired trackball that the M570 is based on. Considering the sheer number of hours the old unit was used, I can only hope this new wireless unit lasts at least half as long.
Starting off, the M570 is slightly smaller in all dimensions than the old unit, and has more rounded edges. This makes it fall to hand slightly better, but Is taking some time to adapt. The marble is not as smooth/glossy as the old one, so it doesn't spin as freely, which makes it feel like junk has built up on the glides, so that is a negative. The extra two buttons have limited use on a mac and fall in a location where my finger used to click the older left button, so that's taking some getting used to.
This is not a bluetooth device, which is a negative. It uses it's own radio transmitter that takes up a usb port. Luckily, it seems to work plugged into an apple wired keyboard so I'm not giving up any of the 4 ports on my Mac.
The unit performs as a thumb-based trackball should, and being so similar to the trackman wheel is the main reason I chose it. There are very few good trackballs out there, and even fewer include a scroll wheel, which I considered a requirement.
The unit was on sale at BestBuy.com for $20 off, and the local store matched that price without me having to mention it. I also got another $5 off thanks to their competitive price matching policy when I showed the same unit on sale from amazon. It was easy to find in my local BestBuy store, as it was with the desktop computer accessories on a logitech-branded display.

Will it fit iPad A1474 ?
Yes. I have tested an original iPad Air Wi-Fi (Apple Model A1474) in this case. The 2017 iPad 9.7" A1822 (wi-fi) and A1823 (wi-fi + cellular) also fit as we have this case on the A1823 model. The packaging states it will also fit an iPad Air 2 and the iPad Pro 9.7".
