OK, but didn't serve my needs
on September 8, 2017
Posted by: Hobie
from Auburn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good, but didn't serve my needs. I ended up returning it. I wish it had HomeKit support. Just wanted it to turn on a light when I left or exited a room. If you have that turned on however, it ends up eventually turning the light off if you end up staying in the room. I found it mildly annoying.

Best Mario Kart Game I've played
on May 12, 2017
Posted by: Hobie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I haven't played Mario Kart since the first one on 3DS and Double-Dash on the Gamecube, but this version is a lot of fun, especially with friends and family. I also love how many ways you can play locally. I have a Pro Controller so if you count the Joy-Cons I can play with 3x people now. The Joy-Cons with the grips attached are actually pretty good controllers, much better than expected.

Easier AC Router I've ever used
on September 25, 2016
Posted by: Hobie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Easiest Wireless AC router I've ever used. Great if you have a bunch of Apple gear, but of course works with non-Apple products. Very easy to set-up with your iPhone or iPad. Options are a little limited by today's standards, but the performance is solid and reliable. Get this router if you are okay with spending a little bit more for an easy, but solid experience.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Best Stylus I have ever used
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: Hobie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes, I'm calling it a stylus because not only can it be used for drawing, but you can use it to get around the iPad Pro. Its also really good for taking notes in a meeting. It lets you write as you normally would at any angle and there is no lag that I can tell. Its still plastic on glass so its not the same friction you get with paper, but you get used to it fast. The lack of an eraser is a bummer, but being able to quick-charge the pencil off the Lightening port is really useful. It looks funny when you do it in public, but it beats having to carry around another adapter.

Great keyboard for on the go
on August 7, 2016
Posted by: Hobie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not think I would like this keyboard as much, but its lightweight, has a good clickiness to it (I like loud keyboards) and I love that you do not have to worry about keeping it powered since it just draws power from the iPad itself. I do wish it were backlit, but I do like how its spill resistant if you get some water on it you can just wipe it off gently. The way you fold it is awkward, but after a little while of use you get used to it. I'm happy happy with it for bashing out emails at night at home or writing papers at a coffee shop or cafeteria. It does not have as much travel as the normal Apple keyboard or a PC keyboard so I would not write a research paper on it, but for an on-the-go keyboard that you don't want to have to mess with wireless connections, the battery running out, or having another bulky item in your bag this is great
