I have the Corsair Dark Core RGB SE mouse and this pad is the perfect companion. The mouse pad has a great texture makes the mouse slide gently which makes gaming very easy and enjoyable. This pad also gives the user the option to charge phones and other devices with the use of an included adaptors. The mouse pad is very easy and quick to setup. Place the pad down on the desk, connect it to your computer and you are all done read to play.
The cord length is enough to offer the option for different types of computer setups. The surface area is big enough which also allows you to move the mouse a lot without it going off the edge. The product is well made with a durable plastic surface. The cord is high quality made and has a protective braided outer layer. This is a great mouse pad that will add to your overall gaming experience.

Great responsive mouse

from Tampa, FL
My experience with this mouse has been excellent. I have used it for hours and no issues. The mouse comes with a 6ft long braided USB cable for easy changing and you can use the mouse while connected. I also have the Corsair charging mouse pad and accepts any compatible Qi wireless charging pads.
It is very nice that it has many buttons such as the two buttons on the top left of the mouse. These buttons change the speed of the mouse. Another button that is useful for gamers is the sniper mode button this button slows down the speed of the mouse to snipe better in-game. The buttons are programmable and customizable. The mouse has a very nice fit for many hands and has the capability to switch the right side grip. My son and I use it a lot and we are very satisfied with all the features provided by this mouse.

Powerful portable speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony Speaker is portable, loud, and simple to handle; three essential features that make it a great speaker. They have a very nice cylindrical design and comes with many fun features that enhance one’s listening experience. Firstly, its portability allows you to bring the music with you wherever you may go. The sound is effective and easy to adjust. It comes with the lights that you choose to leave on or off while playing your music. Keeping the lights off preserves energy, while leaving them on adds to the fun. One feature I truly enjoy is the Bluetooth pairing feature. With it, you can connect two Sony speakers to keep the sound loud in different places in the house. The quality of the material is quite sturdy. Certainly, my family and I will be using this speaker a lot.

Excellent Portable Speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The sound produced by this speaker is one of the best I have heard from all portable speakers. I like the extra bass that gives a boost to produce the best beats. I can definitely feel it across my big living room; which is quite wide. The speaker has a Live Sound button that when pressed it gives a real three-dimensional listening experience. The speaker’s box has an angled design which sends the music to a wider area. I initially used the speaker without the Sony app and it worked well, but I later downloaded the app and this gave me more control of the speaker setting. The app allows you control over the lighting mode, sound mode, turn on, and adjust the Power Booster, and play with the DJ effect setting. The first day I got this speaker I used it for many hours -first for exercising and later doing chores around the house. Good music played on this speaker will keep you very active for hours.
The Party Booster is advertised for party events but I find it excellent for dance exercise because you move more by holding the speaker and taping the sides to add your own beat sound to your favorite music. Five sides of the speaker produce different sound with the tap of your hand on each side. If you have another Sony portable speaker with WPC (wireless party chain) you can link them together spread your music even further. Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker.

Great portable projector
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This Epson Home Cinema 3LCD projector is great to watch in a home theater room or any place since it is portable. It fits excellently in a backpack and it has its own internal speaker. The size is just slightly thinner than most projectors and its weight is light. If you are going to use a projector stand, just note that it only has three holes for attachment. It has all the necessary type of connections that you may need for today’s devices.
The best feature about this projector is that it does a perfect job at horizontal and vertical image correction, this is “Keystone correction.” That is one less thing you need to struggle with during setup because the projector does it automatically. It corrects itself to project a rectangular image from any angle. This is perfect for portability because you will sometimes need to project on a wall that is not at the best angle.
The fan noise level at normal mode is average -not too loud. When set in economy mode, the noise level is greatly reduced to the point that it is unnoticeable. The cooling fan has a small filter to prevent dust entering the unit. I will mostly use this projector in economy mode for two reasons: to have the least noise and to prolong the life of the lamp.
To sum up, this projector is fantastic for any meeting room, for portability use, and as a bonus, to watch quality videos. This is an excellent cinema projector.

Good headphones
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony WH-CH500 Wireless headphones are comfortable, although the cushion is a little too small. The size and weight is excellent to store in a backpack or medium purse. The quality of the audio is good, although they won’t completely block out the ambient sound as much as one would expect unless the volume of the headphones is raised up to a high volume. It is quite simple to connect the headphones via Bluetooth to another device, and the battery life lasts a decent time-about an entire day. Of course, battery life does depend on the use of the product, but I believe for general use the battery life is fair. Overall, this are good headphones for small or medium size heads and we are satisfied with the product.

For complete cyber-security
on March 4, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I feel more secure that all of my smart connected home devices are protected. This device would prevent a hacker from entering your home network through any of your internet connected device. Nowadays there are tons of connected devices besides computers, smartphones, and tablets that use the internet, such as TVs, game consoles, printers, security system and cameras, refrigerators, garage door opener, lighting fixtures/bulbs, and etc… The Bitdefender BOX has a nice clean and futuristic look.
With the Quick Start Guide, the setup is easy and straightforward. You will need to download an app and create an account, the app will guide you through the rest of the setup process. The app will instruct you to plug the power cord into the device and the wall outlet, then wait for the LED. Next, connect the box to your Wi-Fi network, this step has three options (1) use the Wi-Fi router from your internet service provider (ISP), (2) use your own personal Wi-Fi router or (3) use the Bitdefender box as a standalone Wi-Fi router. My setup was very easy without an issue; for my setup, I used my Wi-Fi router. One excellent feature of this device is that if you encounter any issue during a setup you may call the 24/7 free setup assistance number.
Once everything is set up, the Bitdefender scans all connected devices and continuously search for any weakness. The app will let you know of ongoing events and this will help prevent security threats. It really blocks suspicious links and blocks them; they can be phishing attempts. If you are certain that a link is safe, you can simply allow it with the Bitdefender Central app.
Nowadays it is very important to protect our data, such as family photos, digital documents, and credit card bank information. If your network is not protected you have a possible cyber vulnerability. The device includes the Bitdefender Total Security software to remotely protect your computers. The subscription is for one-year and is for unlimited devices. The device also includes various parental safety controls, such as setting content filtering, manage daily internet usage, blackout potential harmful persons, and monitor texts. To close, I highly recommend Bitdefender to protect your home network with a complete cybersecurity.

Great TV with excellent picture quality and sound
on February 21, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My family and I were very, very excited to get this TV! This Smart TV connects to the internet, as well as many other devices at home. Everything to do with setting it up was fairly simple, and it only required one wire to turn on the TV. Moreover, the resolution on the screen is great, and the image is very well sharpened; The screen is wide, making the living room seem bigger. Also, the sound is loud and clear. If you can’t locate the remote control, don’t panic because on the TV there are all the buttons needed to control the TV, including a scroll-wheel. The TV comes with a variety of features and 27 pre-installed apps, including our family favorite’s: Vudu, Netflix, and Youtube (These apps along with Amazon are on the remote for immediate access). It also has Game Center, Dailymotion, and Pandora. Although we have not tried it yet, you can also download other apps you wish to have. Therefore, one can not only watch movies and shows on this television, but can also play and download different games and apps, and stream and access music online!
The settings I used: Sports mode, brightness 47, contrast 53, Color 53, dynamic backlight off, aspect auto, eco sensor off, noise off, adaptive off, sharpness 10, ultra smooth standard, and back light 100. For our type of room lighting condition and the type of movies we watch, this is the best setting for my family. You have to adjust the setting to get the images that are best for you. The key is playing with the setting.
Considerably, this is a good investment for as you can do many things with it; it has a ton of bells and whistles at a great price. Overall, we are very satisfied with the product.

This mic says that you can use it with the xbox, but it is not clear on whether or not it will work to capture my audio when I stream from my xbox one x onto mixer. Will this work to carry audio to mixer for me stream or is it used for party chat only?
The Turtle Beach Stream mic does work great with XBox onto Mixer. I had no issue using this mic on the Xbox One.

If I plug this into my Xbox will the sound still come from my TV or will I need to purchase a headset?
You can attach connect a headphone to the Stream mic. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. This setup is a lot better than having the headphones connected to the Xbox controller.

What's a broom stick and pop filter? I saw in one of the answer you said a broom stick and pop filter will make this mic better?
The boom stick/arm/stand allows for the mic to be floating on top of your desk and not directly on the desk/table. This will reduce the noise produced from your keyboard or other device being capture by the microphone. The pop filter is to improve the voice quality. The stream mic is great, try it without the other accessories first before buying the other stuff.

Just had this tv delivered yesterday and its $30 cheaper today can I get a credit
Yes. It is in their PriceMatch policy: "If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Also, since Best Buy store prices aren't always the same as the BestBuy.com (online) prices, it is good to know that they also do price match between those two: " We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases." In respect to Price Match, I like Best Buy because they don't give you an issue compared to other stores.
Conclusion, if you within the return period you can get back the difference between what you paid and the cheaper price.
Do it fast and good luck.
