Compact, lightweight, portable: IASO is your personal massager on the go. Use the adhesive patches or arm band included and enjoy pain-relieving massage anywhere. (We recommend using the arm band only on the arms and may disconnect/break if used on larger area such as the legs/thighs) Simply focus on what you are doing while IASO takes care of your pain on the neck, shoulders, back, wrists, legs, knees, ankles, feet, or anywhere you feel pain.

The IASO personal massager uses two different types of lasers and vibration to relieve
pain in different areas of the body. It's primary use, because of it's size, is meant to treat
carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, and other small areas of localized pain. It comes with a rubber
elastic band that can be used to strap the device easily to smaller circumference areas like
wrists, arms, and ankles. The band is fairly comfortable and does the job for keeping the
device in place. For other areas you can use one of the 20 included sticky pads. The adhesive
pads are clear and the same shape and size as the massager. The pads are easy to apply,
and actually stick very well. I was able to apply a sticky pad, and reposition it a few times
before activating the device, without complication. The device stayed in place for the entire
30 minutes and was easy to remove. like most men, I have some hair about my body, and
did not have any issues with the sticky pad ripping at or pulling out the hairs. Additional sticky
pads can be purchased as needed. The product does not come with a charging adapter,
but does come with a USB micro charging cable. The device only takes about an hour to fully
charge, all you have to do is plug the cable into any 2amp USB charging adapter similar to
what most phones come with now a days.

I used this massager for several aches and pains, in my shoulders, back and ankles. Even
though the lasers are cold lasers, the device itself does heat up a small bit. The temperature
of the device is not supposed to exceed 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit, under normal operating
conditions. So, a little heat from it is normal. I felt no heat at all from just the laser lights.
It is a very small and comfortable device, and easy to forget you are wearing it. The massager
is subtle in sound and function. Depending on where it is, I sometimes can not even hear it
. It is also not like a traditional massager that you can feel vibrating whole limbs or jumping
across the floor. Sometimes I can barely feel it in the target area, but if I touch my skin around
the area I can feel the vibrations coming from the device. Some people may prefer a more
intense massage, but for this purpose I think this is sufficient. After all the purpose of this
device is to reduce pain in injured areas through increased circulation, promoting your
bodies own healing responses. I typically have a creek and mild pain in my right shoulder,
after using this for 30 minutes, I actually felt no discomfort nor did I feel the creek when I
raised my arm over my head. I also have a few bulging discs in my back, I stuck this to
my back and it appeared to help drop my pain level, but I'm not sure if the effected
area is too large for the single device.

The device might not react as quick as popping a prescription pain medication or muscle
relaxer but I don't really think this is designed for severe levels of pain and complications.
I used this for about a week, and I can say that I think it has helped. It does appear to
have lessened the pain through either the massage or the lasers, but I think that to get the
full potential of the laser therapy you should use it as much as possible on a daily basis, for an extended timeframe.
The manufacturer recommends using this 1 to 3 times a day, but also says there are no side
effects and this can be used as many times a day as needed. You get 2 uses out of every
charge, and with it only taking an hour to fully charge, it would be easy to get 4 to 6 uses per day.

There have been many scientific studies completed that result in certain laser wavelengths
promoting healing and pain relief in tissues. The 650nm wavelength seems to be one of
the most efficient wavelengths at increasing blood circulation to a specific area. Which in
turn helps to increase the rates of healing. When photons of certain laser lights interact with
biological tissues they release their energy into the cells allowing to transform this light
into other energy forms, which is photobiostimulation. Photobiomodulation is triggered and
provides three fundamental effects : tissue regeneration, inflammatory action modulation and an analgesic effect.

Recent developments show that each wavelength has advantages but 650nm to 900nm
is the best wavelength because it has the best combination of depth of penetration
(low absorption), cellular interaction and energy transfer efficiency.

The 830nm laser offers deep penetration into living biological tissue, including bone.
Making it ideal to treat different issues that the 650nm laser can not reach. The
830nm wavelength is better suited to handle inflammation as well as healing in
deeper tissues and joints.

This is a tough product to gauge the effectiveness after only a week of use.
The issues I have are chronic and will probably never be cured, but it does
seem that after a week of using the cold lasers my pain is less than what it
was a week ago. Theoretically based off the data collected in cold laser
studies this type of product should be of real benefit to anyone with small
areas of localized muscle or joint pain. I am very curious to see the long
term effects of what this can do to the effected areas of discomfort and pain.

The future of gaming has arrived with the WD_BLACK~ SN850 NVMe~ SSD. Long load times are obsolete with PCIe~ Gen4 technology, reaching up to 7,000MB/s read speed and up to 4,100MB/s write speed. Spend more time playing and less time deleting, storing your latest and favorite games with 500GB capacity (not intended for NAS or server environments). This WD_Black internal SSD has a compact form factor and a PCIe Gen4 interface for compatibility with select PCs or laptops.
Posted by: Aaronxx7

The SN850 is a "Gen4 x4" SSD, so make sure you check your laptop's motherboard for compatibility! If you can not find the specs for your specific motherboard, you can check your pc's manual, it might not list the motherboard directly, but it still should have all the listed stats and compatibilities for the individual ports and components. If you go to the manufacturer support website for your computer, you should be able to download the manual from there.
The SN850 is backwards compatible with older technologies, but keep in mind that you will NOT get the advertised max speeds on the box, your new SSD will only be able to reach the industry standards specified for older generation devices. I have a laptop that uses M.2 NVMe storage, and is around 6months old. I was expecting to have Gen4 SSD ports, but they are only Gen3 so while I wouldn't be able to reach the advertised 7GB read speeds, I wanted to future proof my purchase a little bit. My laptop was faster with the new SSD, but not as fast as a Gen4 device. My Laptop's read speeds jumped from 1700MBs to 3300MBs and my write speeds went from 420MBs to 3100MBs.It was definitely an upgrade, and it will still be useful if I get another computer in the next year.

If you are planning on making this your new C: drive, then make sure you have your Bitlocker recovery key ready, you can find this by logging into your Microsoft account. Even after cloning your drive over to the new SSD, the laptop will still ask you for the Bitlocker code for security purposes.
However, before you get to that point you will have to format the new SSD as NTFS for a primary drive or FAT for other storage purposes. If after installing the physical drive, you do not see it with Windows Explorer, this is pretty normal. You will need to use Window's Disk Management or another storage management utility (there are lots of free utilities out there), to format it. Using Disk Management you will be able to see the new drive, and format it. Once it is formatted you can access the drive from Windows Explorer.
If you go to the support page for the WD_Black SN850, you will be able to download "Acronis True Image for Western Digital", which is a great disk management utility. You can use Acronis to add a new drive or clone your old HD to the new one. You should also download the "Dashboard" program, as this will help monitor your new SSD. Dashboard can update the SSD software, and can turn on the "Game Mode" for enhanced performance. Dashboard is also great to keep track of the health and temperature of your new SSD.
From the WD SN850 support page, you can get lots of installation tips and view troubleshooting issues.
As I mentioned earlier your motherboard's design can affect read and write speeds, but so can other components, like the installed memory, internal temperatures and CPU, so keep all that in mind when looking at what kind of performance you will be expecting.
Installation is usually very easy on most laptops as all you need to do is remove one screw, and a small panel. However some laptops require you to remove the entire bottom cover. Another word of caution, make sure you are grounded once the computer is opened, and before you touch the new SSD. There are devices you can buy to aid in static electricity prevention, but they are not always needed. There are plenty of websites out there to instruct on proper grounding while working on a laptop. Static electricity can actually damage delicate electronics such as these, so be careful.
Installation took me a couple of minutes to physically install the drive and another couple to format it. It took about 15 minutes to clone my old drive to the new one, and I was done with everything in less than 30 minutes.
My laptop starts up and shuts down much quicker, and even runs all of my games much smoother. It's amazing how much quicker everything in general is.
Overall this is an amazing piece of technology that can perform at irrational speeds, when placed into the right system, and can still provide outstanding performance in older devices, with it's backwards compatibility. With Western Digital's 3D NAND and it's stacking technology the SN850 can perform 1,000,000 IOPS which is close to twice the amount of the last generation's SSDs. To date, this is the fastest gaming SSD on the market.

Great Video with Reliable Instant Notifications
on July 23, 2021

I have used this video doorbell for a week, and it has worked flawlessly since the day I set it up. I used to have a different brand installed, which worked most of the time. Sometimes the chime would work, and sometimes it wouldn't. The doorbell itself would lose connection, I was constantly rebooting the device, when it worked it would have extremely long load times and when I had shared access to it with my wife, it was very rare that either one of us had access to any of the features. After saying all that, the eufy Video Doorbell is exactly the opposite from the old video doorbell. The eufy doorbell works perfectly every time I log into it. The video quality is great, the chime works every time, and we both have access to the app and features. I have been extremely impressed by the quality of both the physical product and the digital features.
You also have access to features that other brands only unlock once you pay their subscription fees, like setting up detection zones, automation commands, Geofencing and advanced AI features to limit false detections.
The detection zones let you outline an area in the live video feed in which you would like for the device to constantly monitor ,ignoring the other area outside of the outline to reduce triggers from neutral areas like a busy street.
Automation commands are nice to use if you have other eufy security cameras and devices. You could set up a trigger like a door or window sensor, if they go off, then you could turn on recording for all cameras and set off the audible alarms. You could set up different automation scenarios based on the devices you have.
Geo fencing works by acknowledging when a GPS enabled device, like your smartphone enters a particular GPS designated area. Like when you arrive home, you and your device are recognized as entering the "home" area, or when you leave the area. With this feature you can set up a kind of automation, if you have other cameras or security devices to turn on or off automatically when you enter or exit the area. If you just have the doorbell this feature probably will not be relevant as you would want the doorbell to work all the time.
The advanced AI works hard to try to eliminate false triggers by looking for human features or figures in the detection zones. So far mine has been pretty spot on, I have not seen any notifications for leaves or other objects blowing past the camera. (which the rain used to even trigger my last doorbell).
The eufy digital features can be accessed on both iOS and Android devices. A live video feed can be accessed as well by any device with web access like a pc or mac," events" can only be viewed by these devices if you have cloud storage, as this does not appear to have access to your local storage. Alexa and Google Home have similar access to the video doorbell like your smartphone.
You can also set up customized voice greetings, instructions or basically anything you want to say to visitors or delivery people, in the smartphone app. You can have 3 custom greetings, and set these to respond automatically, or just when you activate them. This feature is not only lots of fun for friends, but also very useful for delivery instructions, and probably holiday greetings.
I do love the fact that there is no need for any other charges or subscription services, unless you want that cloud storage for web viewing. Otherwise you can review the included local storage from anywhere using your smartphone apps. However if you do have more of eufy's security devices you can subscribe to their services for the security monitoring and protection, which could be very useful.
The 2K video is actually pretty good quality. I am able to zoom into anything in my front yard, and see it pretty clearly. The wide angle 4x3 view encompasses a lot of area not only in width but also in height. I have my camera mounted slightly above the waistline, and I am able to see people's faces great as they stand in front of the door. The video does seem a little stretched in width with the wide angle lens, but there is no fishbowl effect at all. The fishbowl effect is typically what happens to the outer corners of a picture or video when a very wide lens is used. Most security camera brands use software to correct this distortion, to a minimal distortion. The eufy camera has no noticeable fishbowl distortion. With that said there is still a stretched look to larger items like vehicles, but not really noticed on people at all.
Native 2K video is a little better than full HD, but still less than half as good as 4k. Full HD is 1920 x 1080p, native 2K is 2560 x 1440 , and native 4K is 3840 x 2160. Because of the aspect ratio that eufy is providing here, their 2K resolution is 2560 x 1920, which is more than half that of 4K. So you really do get a lot of detail in these videos. When they made 1080p images they were referring to the image height being 1080 pixels. Once they came out with higher resolutions, they started naming them after the image width, hence 2K images are around 2000 pixels wide, and 4K images are around 4000 pixels wide. So as you change the aspect ratios it effectively changes the total pixels captured, you basically multiply the height times the width, the greater the number of pixels the greater the detail.
The camera also works great at night, by default the camera uses it's automatic night vision setting, to see objects in the dark. This works great using the infrared sensors in the doorbell, but can have some reflection issues against license plates or other highly reflective surfaces. These objects can cause a glare effect in the videos. If this is a problem, try angling your vehicle differently, or place something in the way of the plate before night time. The alternative would be to turn off the automatic night vision, and use a porch light, or security light to brighten up the area. The low light setting on the camera is ok, but not good enough to really see anything clearly without an external light source.
The video doorbell is ip65 rated which will keep it protected from your typical dust, rain, and regular weather patterns.
This version of the video doorbell comes with a 16gb micro sd card. However it can take up to 128gb micro sd card, but it is recommended to format it to Fat 32 in a pc or similar capable device, before inserting it into the chime base.
The included wireless chime does offer 8 different audio chimes to pick from.
The included wireless chime does offer 8 different audio chimes to pick from.
Although there are some dongles and wireless chimes sold separately by eufy to add additional chimes, this model does not currently work with any of those other devices. (I am hoping for a software update to enable such options, but at this time no other wireless chimes will work with this model)
So for now the only way to multiply the WIRELESS doorbell chimes in your house is to use your phones with the eufy security app, or have Alexa Echo, Spot, or compatible Google Home device connected to the video doorbell.
Because this version can be hardwired it can actually be set to work with your existing hard wired chimes, if you have any. I have been told that you can use both the wired chimes and the wireless chime together, or just one or the other. You must select your preference via the app. If you select your wired chimes, you will still need to plug in the included wireless chime for the wifi connection and local storage, and supposedly the wireless chime will still ring when the doorbell is pressed. Your smartphone and other devices will ring regardless of which option you select. If you select the wireless chime, then your doorbell will just pull power from the wires and only ring at the included wireless chime and alternate devices loaded with the app.
This is a pretty easy setup, but just don't be caught skipping ahead of the instructions,. ie installing the doorbell first then trying to sync the chime. This will not work, because the chime and doorbell physically need to be close to each other for them to sync up. They sync with an audio cue, so if the doorbell can not hear the cue from the chime or vice versa, they will never sync up together. It took me between 5 to 10 minutes to remove the old chime and put this one in its place.
The battery is stated to last 180 days, I am hardwiring my device, so I will not be able to verify if it truly lasts 6months. However, I will say that I have had other name brand cameras state long battery lives like 3 months or more, but realistically this is based on medium to low amounts of triggers, the higher your device has to work to identify triggers and record clips the lower the chances of it reaching the stated battery life, so keep that in mind when thinking about battery longevity.
You have a few options for receiving notifications via the app. By default the notifications come through with a small image of the approaching person, and a quick preview video clip. you can minimize these notifications to exclude the image and video for a quicker more instant notification of detected triggers(ie, people).The app has worked great so far, I hear my phone notification every time I come home alerting me to someone at the door, and it has been spot on with notifying me when a person drops off a package or mail. My phone has also chimed every time the doorbell has been pressed as well, and I even tried out the quick responses. Everything works great. I can read license plates in my driveway, and get detailed images of everyone's faces, even at night.
I am so pleased with the quality and performance of this product, and the friendliness and informative customer service that I am inclined to get more eufy security devices.

clearer more comfortable audio
on July 2, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
Logitech has been making quality products since the early 80s. In the 90's logitech began making video game accessories,and in 2009 they started making gaming headsets. Logitech is an award winning company, because they are always looking to improve.
With over ten years in the business of making headphones, they have made some impressive models, like the current G735 and the G335.The G335 is actually the smaller and lighter version of the award winning G733 Lightspeed wireless headset.
With over ten years in the business of making headphones, they have made some impressive models, like the current G735 and the G335.The G335 is actually the smaller and lighter version of the award winning G733 Lightspeed wireless headset.
The latest model headsets are more durable, lighter and pack the clearest audio yet.They are constantly trying to stay competitive with comfort and performance.
The new G335 is designed for longer lasting comfort. The plastic is more flexible, durable and lighter than before. weighing a little more than half a pound at 240 grams.
The ear cuffs are made of quality memory foam and mesh materials, making the earcuffs more comfortable.The memory foam keeps the supportive shape fitting snugly around your ears, but soft enough to accomodate glasses and most earwear.The mesh material compliments the memory foam for comfort and endurance. The mesh helps to keep some airflow to your ears. Some headphones use a vinyl or leather material that blocks airflow and external noise creating more of a vacuum around your ear, which is good for noise cancelling effects, but can lead to an uncomfortable experience in the long run as the audio and air movement is focused solely into the ear. While a lot of people like the sound from noise cancelling ear cushions, the air tight seals can cause ear fatigue, pain and sweat build up( which can actually create ear infections for some people). The mesh lets you listen longer, stay drier and still hear someone in the room trying to talk to you.
Another great feature that Logitech has included with these headphones is the suspension headband, not only is this awesome for comfort, but it can be removed and washed.They even offer different color choices for additional or replacement headbands. The Headphones are available in 3 color options and the headbands have 8 stylish choices. There are even 5 unique and colorful mic covers, you can choose from; red lips, green mustache, yellow star, blue heart and a purple thumbs up. The different combinations can lead to some pretty individualized styles.
The controls for the headphone are actually very simple, there is a volume dial on the left ear cuff and the mic can be raised to mute, or lowered for active. There is actually a small click that you can feel and hear when the mic moves into position for muted or unmuted. I really like to be able to feel the point at which the mic is turned on or off, that way I'm not constantly wondering if I moved the mic up high enough to mute it. I used to constantly pull up my mic sensitivity test on my console to make sure my mic was off, before putting the headset down for a little bit.
The speakers are 40mm drivers, which is a good size for comfort and sound quality. These provide a good quality frequency rate and impedance. The frequency rate covers everything that the human ear should be able to hear, and the impedance is 36 Ohms which is at the higher end of what is considered "good" quality. Exceptional quality devices would be in the range of 64 Ohms or higher, but that would typically only be used by musicians or audio enthusiasts, most other people probably wouldn't even notice the differences.
I know most people like the freedom of wireless headsets, but the wired version actually has some benefits.The best thing about these headphones is that they are pretty much compatible with any gaming setup; Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC, Mac, smartphones and other mobile devices with 3.5mm audio jacks(which is the standard jack size today). Wireless headsets are sometimes restricted to specific platforms due to the way they connect. The other benefit is that these are simply plug and play, no additional software is needed to use these on any system, plus there are no internal batteries to wear out or keep charged. The G335 does come with a PC adapter cable for PCs that need to separate the mic input from the speaker audio.
I tried these out on my PS5, and my cell phone. The audio was extremely clear on both platforms. The chat audio was even great. I hate when I get a good sounding pair of headphones but the chat audio sucks because for one reason or another either I can barely hear my friends or they complain about my audio cutting out. I used the G335 for a couple of days and the chat audio has been exceptional, no skips in the chat audio plus everyone can be heard clearly on both ends of the conversation. Which brings me to my next point.
These headphones have been Discord certified. For those that don't know, Discord is a VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform designed for creating communities. Users communicate with voice and video calls in private chats or open servers.Discord has gone through and thoroughly tested several different headphones for use with their services. Since their whole purpose is chat communications, of course they would want the best headsets to help deliver the best user experience possible. When using a Discord certified headphone with your PC, a popup window will appear indicating the Discord certified device, and the best settings to use while operating( when applicable). So it's nice to have that peace of mind that an unaffiliated company of that nature endorses this headset for chat purposes.
Overall these headphones sound very good, with crystal clear chat audio and great in game audio. There is a decent amount of bass, and treble to not only hear the action but feel it too, (based on the volume). The directional sound is very good as well. It was pretty easy to hear approaching enemies and subtle nuances such as a fly in the room near your character. The comfort was exceptional, I was able to play and chat for hours without even paying attention to the fact I was wearing headphones.

Great prints, compact design

This printer needs a smartphone or pc to use all the features, as there is no LCD display, just a few buttons. The basic operations that can be performed without a pc or smartphone just include making either a color or black and white copy. A scan can be activated by pressing both the copy buttons, but only if the scan feature has already been set up with a pc or smartphone.
The lack of an ADF( Automatic Document Feeder) and lcd screen make this machine a little more compact. The printer has a very basic design and look to it and is actually kind of light. The paper tray and inkjet bay are easily accessible from the front of the machine. The scanner lid does have one of those extending hinges, so that books and thicker objects can still fit under the scanner lid.
No LCD makes it seem a little more difficult to set up, but if you follow the directions it will all work out pretty quick. I think it took 3 minutes to set up the printer.
Make sure you check for software updates sometime after you connect to the web, so that you will get the latest features for your product.

The MFC-J1205W creates great photo quality prints, with a max print resolution of 6000 x 1200 dpi.
Scans are good, but seem to lack some contrast and saturation, but that can easily be fixed in the Brother phone app after the scan.The pc app has a few extra scan options that the smartphone app does not have, and these options can be set before the scan takes place. You can still edit the photo after the scan, but with microsoft paint, or one of the other picture edit apps on your pc.
For Scanning, the native dpi is 300, however the machine can produce interpolated resolutions of up to 19200 x 19200 dpi.Interpolation as we are referring to it here, is basically like taking an 8" x 10" photo, and trying to stretch it to fit a 10" x13" frame.Although, it's not as difficult as it sounds. The machine scans an object at its highest native dpi, then it takes that scan and starts to seperate parts of the picture at the pixel level.The machine then takes all the separated parts and social distances them all, so that they are a set number of pixels apart. At the new distance we can fill a 10 x 13" frame, but now there are gaps everywhere. Well here comes the tough part, the machine has to fill all those empty spots with something, so it does it's best job (based on it's software), to guess, or interpolate the colors and lines between the actual image pixels, and then creates filler pixels. These filler pixels are usually pretty close, in fact they are so close that most people will not even know that parts of their picture are made up. Not everyone uses a 19200 x 19200 resolution anyway, so in most cases 300dpi will do just fine, it will have plenty of clarity and details. The much higher resolutions are typically used by professionals. They need these larger file sizes to print large posters, and other large scale projects.
One of the big selling points of this printer is the advertised 1 year of ink included, based on a typical use of 100 pages per month( at 60% black and 40% color).
The new Brother app works great, and gives the user ink levels based on estimated page usage or the ISO-based standards. This way, one could prepare a little better on knowing when to stock up on more ink when their next print job is 50 pages long. ISO is the international standard for organizations, which is based on a 5% overall page coverage area, wherein 5% of the page is imprinted with ink. For example, a short email is roughly 5% page coverage, so if your toner cartridge offers a yield of 1,000 pages, your cartridge can print approximately 1,000 short emails.One full Brother cartridge offers 750+ pages using the ISO method. Obviously Brother does not recommend using 3rd party inks for quality purposes and machine longevity, plus 3rd party inks typically do not include the same yields.
Real cartridge yields can differ based on the purpose, type of the printer and how much ink is in the actual cartridges. A lot of low yield cartridges will produce around 200 prints.The heavy duty office machines and professional photo machines, will typically use cartridges with high yields. The high yield cartridges could produce any amount over 500 pages, some brands promise anywhere from 1000 to 7000 prints. Again this all depends on the mfgr and the amount of ink included in their cartridges. Of course these numbers are only guidelines, there is no way to get an exact number of prints. Actual ink yields can vary depending on the media being printed and the media being printed on. Some papers soak up more ink than others, and some pictures or graphic texts will require more ink for colors, boldness, or designs.
Make sure that when you are printing a picture from your phone or computer that your screen is not set to "vivid" or any other type of enhanced display, otherwise your prints might not be the color you were hoping for. I keep my phone screen on "natural" for the display, which gives me the closest color matches between my phone and the printed results.
This printers advertised print speeds are slightly faster than some of the other competing standard models, but not as fast as the more expensive office or workhorse printers.
The MFC-J1205W advertises 16ppm black, and 9 ppm for color.
I printed 10 pages with a combination of text and small pictures, it took the machine 1 minute and 42 seconds to print 10 pages at standard/normal quality.
I printed the same document at "fine" quality, and it took 16 minutes and 30 seconds. There was a noticeable difference between the "fine" and "normal" prints, but not enough to make me want to waste the extra time and ink.

I printed up 14 pages of just black text, it took 1 minute and 15 seconds.
So we are getting results a little slower than advertised, but the print quality is very good.
Full page color photos on glossy photo paper took about ten minutes to print, and looked like real photos.
I am including a sample of some of my prints in the attached pictures. The paper with "1" in the top right corner is the normal quality print, and the paper with the "2" in the top right corner is the "fine" print. Papers "3" and "4" are from a Brother Laser printer. The "3" print is a laser print with ink saver and eco on. The "4" is normal quality.
I have also including a picture of the magnified print of all 4 print jobs.
I am posting some additional pictures:The Suicide Squad book cover - I scanned this using the default settings, and printed it as is. The scanned and raw print is the page on the left. The book is in the middle, and the enhanced scan is on the right. The scan was edited using the Brother Mobile Connect app, then reprinted on the same paper as the 1st print. Both printed on glossy photo paper.
A picture of a bridge and ducks off of my phone - the picture on the left was direct print, no editing. The picture on the right was edited to enhance the contrast and saturation. Both pictures were printed on glossy photo paper.
A picture of a bowl of ramen - the picture on the left was printed on regular inkjet paper. The picture on the right was printed on glossy photo paper. The picture on the basic paper looks just as good as the one on the photo paper, and it printed all the way to the edge on both types of paper.I am very impressed with the print quality on any type of media with this printer. Most other printers would not do borderless printing on regular paper, plus usually the colors or contrast typically gets washed out when you print a photo onto basic paper, but not here.
Overall I am pretty pleased with what this printer can do. I would have liked an LCD screen somewhere, but it's not like I am going to be using this printer without either my phone or pc, so I should be fine. I like to take and print lots of photos, so I am not naive enough to think that I will be free of buying ink cartridges for the next 12 months, but at least these inks should last longer than my last printer. The print quality is great, and the scanner is just as good at capturing details. As with a lot of scanner and printer models, sometimes you have to edit photos and documents for the best prints. You might find that all your phone photos need the white balance adjusted and the tone slightly fixed. You might see that web images print way too saturated, or that pictures saved on your computer from 10 years ago print perfect. In any case, if your pc and phone screen are set to the most natural colors and lighting available you will get a better look at what needs to be done to your photos before printing.
For the price level and compact purposes, this printer does a great job with image quality, but could use a little more pep in its processing times.

Great Features, Good Resolution
on June 10, 2021

The Swann Enforcer has a lot of features built into its program. It can be integrated into your smart home with either Alexa or Google assistant for voice control, and monitored from your smart phones. It works on both iOS and Android. Not to mention that the base can be connected to any tv or monitor with a HDMI cable, and display all cameras constantly in a grid, or all the cameras individually like a slideshow on a constant rotation.
The base includes 1TB of local storage. I logged about 500 hours using both main and sub stream recording, and only used about 300gb of storage. I have my recordings set to constant 24/7 recording for 2 of my cameras and the other 2 are set to record 30 sec clips only when triggered. (The hard drive can be upgraded to a max of 4TB.) Each channel can be set up however you want it. The system comes with 4 cameras, but is equipped to handle up to 8, which gives you plenty of room to expand with this system. If you go to the swann website and visit the product page, you can view the compatible cameras for this system, if you want to get more.
One of the best features of this system is the PIR. All the included cameras have a built in Passive Infrared Sensor that helps to make the "True Detect" so great. The True Detect tries to eliminate false detections and recordings by attempting to pick up heat signatures during motion sensing. My last camera used to get a trigger when it snowed out, or the wind blew leaves across the yard, so I will be curious to see how this works in the other seasons. Right now it has been pretty decent at eliminating false triggers.
The cameras have a 90 degree field of view which is a wide angle but not as wide as some of the wireless brands which can encompass 180 degrees. While those cameras might be able to fit a wider area into the screen, the edges are typically somewhat distorted, and the wider angle cameras usually have a shorter field of view when it comes to overall distance. So a 90 degree camera can typically see up to 100 feet, and be distortion free. While most of the 180 degree cameras are typically only good up to 50 feet.
The base does have some features in the software that are not supported with this setup, like "sound", and "PTZ" . There are no speakers or mics included on these cameras. There is also no "Pan Tilt and Zoom" ability on these cameras either. The features remain in the program incase cameras with those capabilities are ever added later.
Even though there is no PTZ function available, you do have to enter the PTZ menu to change some of the camera settings. Here you can change the Exposure, White Balance, Day and Night lighting, Image Enhancements, Video Settings, and Language. The night time lighting can either be done in color (with the assistance of a small white spot light, that lights up for recording), or in Black and White with the infrared sensors (which glow red in the dark). Unless of course you have an alternate constant light source, like a porch light, street light or seperate spot light.
The cameras can also be set to deterrent mode, in which they light up a set of strobing red and blue LEDs to simulate police lights. These lights can be triggered to go off when motion is detected, and you can set the duration of the strobe effect as well.
The system has a 12 month warranty and an IP66 rating on the cameras. IP66 is "dust tight" and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water. So they should be able to handle virtually any kind of weather.
The Base does have 3 total USB ports. One port on the back can be used to connect the mouse. Sadly, the unit does not support any keyboard, so all typing has to be done with an on screen keyboard and the mouse. The other USB ports can be used for external drives or flash drives to back up or store important recordings.
The phone app lets you view all the active cameras in "live view", and lets you playback events. When you view individual channels you have the option to do a manual record, snapshots, turn on the alarm, or the spot light. You also get real time notifications of current events, can view the user manual and have the ability to connect to your DropBox storage.If you don't have a DropBox account, you can sign up for a free basic account which includes 2GB of storage, or enlist in one of their premium plans for increased data storage.
When setting up the base, you have the option to use an alternate DNS or the one provided by Swann. Swann tech support says that they do not hold any video data on their servers. Their servers are solely used to help relay your video data to your remote devices, if selected.
Overall the security system is really nice. It is spot on with the event notifications, they all come through in real time. Live viewing and connecting to the cameras from the app is pretty quick and so far pretty reliable. I have had other camera systems that sometimes take forever or just sometimes will not connect.My favorite feature is the S.M.A.R.T feature, which bypasses the long gaps between triggers and puts just the events together for playback. It saves a ton of time trying to review past recordings. There are actually a lot of different ways to sort and search through recordings.The user interface could be a little better, while it might be a little difficult to navigate to the option you want, there are still a ton of options.
The video quality at 1080p is pretty good, and most things have sufficient detail. Facial features are detailed enough for a good description at under 10 to 15 feet at night and under 40 to 50 feet in daylight, which is average for most security cameras. Also, just as a side note, try not to mount the cameras too close to an overhang, corner wall or side obstruction. One of the cameras I mounted was too close to the gutters. It created a haze at night, due to the reflection of the infrared beams bouncing back onto the lenses. Otherwise that was the only problem I had with the install. All the included cables were long enough for my house. If you need longer runs you should be able to buy a BNC extension cable or (regular BNC cable and a BNC coupler). From what I've seen, you should be able to run at lengths up to 1600 feet for 1080p.

A Bright Idea to benefit your Health
on May 28, 2021

from central new york
This little light puts out 10,000 Lumens. To put it into contrast, a 100 watt incandescent bulb produces 1600 Lumens, that's over 6 times as bright. Some police security flashlights are rated as high as 3300 lumens, and we are not even halfway there.So If you like bright lights, this is perfect for you. Although, this light is a therapy light, not a regular room or shop light. It is designed to bring the happiness of the sun indoors. The light expelled from the device is set to mimic the full spectrum pure white light from the sun, minus the harmful UV lights. UV lights can not only damage your skin, but also your eyes. I tested the light with a Blue Light detection device, and no harmful rays were detected.There are three kinds of "Blue Lights"; violet, blue-violet and turquoise. Both violet spectrums are harmful to the eyes, but the turquoise spectrum is considered safe and is the spectrum that helps maintain a healthy sleep cycle.
When the eyes detect this spectrum of light, it stimulates the brain’s hypothalamus region, and biological clock. This influences the circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours.Without the proper stimulus a person's circadian rhythm can be thrown off cycle, making for irregular sleeping habits or a lot of sleepless nights.This light tries to help you regulate your circadian rhythm by giving you control of when you are exposed to the proper lighting.The light does have a dimmer, so if the full 10,000 lumens is too much for you, there are 2 lower settings that appear to be 50% and 25% of power.
After prolonged use of this light, it can not only help with correcting sleep patterns, but can also help with regulating hormones, alertness, reaction times, mood and general behavior. Everything can fall into line with the right patterns in life. Some people even believe these overall health benefits can help stave off illnesses and some diseases.
With most of the world hiding indoors the past year, the lack of sunlight has most definitely affected the mental health and sleep of a lot of individuals. Depression is one of the most common disorders from lack of sleep and proper stimulus. If you are still limiting your outdoor exposure then this could really help a person bounce back.
I can't really attest to the long term effects of this light, as I have only used it for a week. However in the past week, I think I have noticed some more regular effects of the light. Just as a test the first morning I woke up after receiving the light, I turned on the brightest lights I had in the house ( my kitchen has 4- 100 watt bulbs). It woke me up a bit, then I turned on the Circadian Light and instantly I could feel the impact, it is so much like walking outside around noon, except without the heat. I had to turn the light away from my face, as the direct light is just too much for me right now.After a week of daily exposure for about 6 hours a day, I seem to fall asleep at night a little better, and feel more alert in general. so I am eager to see what might happen after a month or more.
The light itself weighs almost nothing. It comes in two pieces, the stand and the light. No tools are required, as the parts just click together. The power cable plugs into the back of the device, and the power button in the front is touch sensitive. Even though it feels light, everything looks well constructed. The bulbs have a 50,000 hour life expectancy, and the unit comes with a 2 year warranty.
Also, just to reiterate, this light does not put out UV rays, so even though it mimics the sunlight to your eyes, it is nothing like sunlight to your skin. Meaning, this is in no way like a tanning light.

Excellent for Work and Games!

The Samsung S6 34 (A650) monitor is one of Samsung's newest lineup of monitors. Designed for everyday work at home, or office use with the user in mind. The new lineup offers special features to reduce eye strain, and make the viewing experience as comfortable and beneficial as possible.The monitor is nice and streamlined, with a tiny bezel, nice curve, and lightweight feel. The curve of the monitor is actually based off of the same curvature of a person's eye. Typically flat wide screens can fatigue the user's eye by forcing them to constantly move around to see the full screen, but the S6's curve is designed to meet your eye in those fatigue spots, and lessen the movements needed for a similar flat screen. The stand is easy to connect, with only 1 screw at the bottom, the base is slim but heavy enough to stay in place. The monitor can be turned in virtually every direction and height to best fit your requirements, it can even be tilted up or down at decent angles. The viewing angle of the monitor is 178 degrees, but I have noticed that some of the color depth is lost moving out of 100 degrees from center. Everything is still very detailed, and easy to see, just not as in depth as 0 degrees.
The monitor is TUV certified, with intelligent eye care. The brightness and color temperature is automatically adjusted based on your environment . The S6 also protects eyes against excessive blue light with the eye saver mode and a flicker free setting. All of these features can be found in the monitor's settings, and can be switched on or off, based on your preferences. Personally, I have used these settings and found them to be very beneficial. There has been a lot of new information about blue light and eye health, so do your eyes a favor and try it out. I have definitely noticed less eye fatigue, dry-eye, and headaches. So, thank you Samsung.
Samsung really put a lot of thought into this monitor. It comes with a USB 3.0 hub, a headset/speaker 3.5mm port, USB-C port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a 1.2 version Display port. It even has an ethernet port, the ethernet port serves no direct feature to the monitor, it has no built in web browser, and you can not update the software from here either. So you are probably wondering what it is for, and that is for sharing the ethernet connection to supported devices via the USB-C cable. It is a plug and play feature for any available device, there is nothing more that needs to be done aside from plugging everything in. The available USB ports can also provide connections to additional devices to be used with the connected USB-C device.
I was able to directly connect my Samsung Note 20+ to the monitor via the USB-C cable. It automatically activated the Samsung DEX feature on my phone, and displayed my desktop on the monitor. There is no need to use a DEX hub with this monitor. A pop-up on your phone should allow you to use your phone as a touchpad to navigate the DEX desktop.If the pop-up does not appear, you can activate it by pressing an icon on the bottom left of your phone screen. The cool thing is that you can connect a keyboard and mouse directly to the USB ports on the back of the monitor and use those instead. I tried it, and everything worked great.
The USB-C cable also works as a charging cable to limit some of your desktop cables, it provides up to 90watts of power and can charge almost any device that has a USB-C connection.
The monitor can be set to auto detect and switch to available inputs.
It will also tell you what the max resolution possible is for the connected device, if it is not already chosen. Even though the monitor has no internal speakers, the audio will carry from whatever input you are using to the 3.5mm headphone jack on the back of the monitor. You can even adjust the volume to the speakers directly on the monitor, with the navigation buttons on the underside of the monitor. The speaker volume actually works great for consoles that don't have any volume controls of their own, ie; some video game systems.

The speaker volume actually works great for consoles that don't have any volume controls of their own, ie; some video game systems.
The S6 34 boasts 100hz refresh rate and a 5ms response time, which should give you a pretty clean screen during most scenes with a lot of action.
The higher the refresh rate the smoother the action is. Low refresh rates can cause stutter, blurr or pixilation, making a very messy looking screen, plus it makes it harder to follow the action or very fast moving objects, if everything is blurred together.To further add to the smoothness of this monitor it offers FreeSync. AMD FreeSync promises a tear free, low latency experience. FreeSync works with Radeon, and some Nvidia graphics cards, so check for any available downloads if it's not already installed on your machine.

The monitor provides an excellent work experience. The ultra wide display makes it possible to easily have 3 or 4 windows open at a time. Everything just looks so neat and clean with the size of the monitor, and easy physical screen positioning. The USB hub even reduces desk clutter, keeping all your wires behind the screen and unseen . I love that I can just run 1 cable to the monitor, and connect everything else directly to the back of it. No more crawling under my desk to reach the desktop. I used to have 2 wide monitors and all their power and connection cables all over my desk, now I can do just as much if not more with this one monitor. Plus it has built in blue-light and anti-eye fatiguing features, that my other monitors did not have. I used to wear blue light blocker glasses all the time, but not anymore.
I realize that the resolution is not quite the same as 4K, but it's definitely very sufficient at 3440x1440. If I was watching nature movies all day, then maybe I'd go for a 4k screen, but this ultra wide display is where it's at for work and play. I hooked up my gaming laptop to this, and set the resolution to 3440x1440, then bumped up the refresh rate to 100hz, and everything is super smooth, and the field of view is incredible, it reminds me of almost wearing a VR headset. The games looked great with no lag, and amazing response times. The colors were just as good as any 4k display with HDR10. The monitor can display over a billion colors in HDR10 mode. Everything was very impressive, and my laptop seemed to handle the video load a lot better than a 4K monitor, in fact a lot of games started dropping frame rates using the 4k settings. I have not seen that yet on this monitor.
You can even hook up your consoles to the monitor for similar experiences. The Xbox consoles are closer matched to the PC experience, and even offer supporting resolutions of 1440 on the Xbox one and series X/S machines. The Xbox consoles even offer FreeSync and HDR.
The Sony PS4 and PS5 do not offer 1440 resolutions or FreeSync.You can still connect your Sony console to the monitor, but it will have a stretched look to everything.The effective resolution on the PS4 and PS5 will be 1080P at 60Hz with HDR*( on PS5s and some PS4s).
Any capable laptop or desktop will be able to reach the full potential of the monitor at 3440x1440 and 100Hzs.A lot of devices will connect at 3440x1440 and 60Hzs, so you might have to go into your advanced display properties on Windows,or straight through your graphics cards software to change the refresh rate.
Overall, I am very pleased with this monitor as it meets all my work and gaming needs.

Impressive Quality and Speed
on April 19, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This machine definitely has the performance part down pretty good. All the main features work great. I am including some pictures I printed from my phone, slightly edited with the HP Smart app. Some pictures that I scanned and printed with all the default settings, the originals on the left, and the reprints on the right. A comparison picture of a photo printed on photo paper vs plain paper. As well as a print out of some of the Alexa skills that can be used with the printer.
The convenience is missing during the initial setup, but restored afterwards.The printer is pretty easy to use, once everything is set up. Which makes it difficult to understand why setting this printer up is such a hassle.
The entire setup process is kinda tedious and forced. If this printer came with free ink for 5 years, then I could understand the extra hoops for setup and use. With that said, I am a little offended by the lack of freedom surrounding some aspects of this machine. Which is a complete shame, because the printer really is quite nice. It prints extremely fast text documents, and full color glossy photos. You can fax to and from the machine, with a landline, and send faxes directly from your smartphone. It is even pretty easy to add to Alexa or Google assistant. It took less time to set it up with Alexa than it did with HP+ . Linking your printer with Alexa adds the ability to print lists, and some documents on your phone or stored with Alexa. You can even activate some tasks like scan and copy with voice control. With the addition of some more skills, you can print coloring pages, comics, games, puzzles, and recipes, through Alexa's voice control features.

With the addition of some more skills, you can print coloring pages, comics, games, puzzles, and recipes, through Alexa's voice control features.
As soon as you turn on the printer, it asks you a few simple questions, then it prompts you to download the HP Smart app on either your pc or smartphone, to finish the setup. It appears that registering your account with the printer is the only way to move forward from here. If you already have an HP account or don't mind signing up for the HP+ service then it shouldn't be a big deal to finish the setup. Afterall you get an extra year's worth of the manufacturer warranty, and 6 months of free ink( to support 100 pages per month of printing). If you prefer not to register right now, you can bypass this screen by pressing the "?" on the bottom of the touchscreen, then pressing "cancel" on the next 2 screens, and then follow the next few prompts to get to the main menu. Here you can set up your wifi and change any setting you want. The register prompt will pop up again soon restricting some functions, so you will probably want to just register to make things easier for yourself.
One of the good things about the HP Smart app is that it is close to the same layout and function on the computer as it is on the smartphones. Everything is split up by tiles, and has access to account and individual printer settings. Here you can check your page usage for the month, change plans, and review subscription information. All the printer functions like scanning, printing, and faxing can be activated by the tiles. You can even create and activate shortcuts directly from the app tile. Creating shortcuts is actually very easy and can be done in seconds. I'm usually emailing whatever I have to scan, so I made 2 shortcuts for scanning items as searchable PDFs, and emailing pictures.
Another drawback to this printer is the price of ink - if you choose not to join HP+ , you could be spending around $100 for all 4 cartridges.Just as an FYI 3rd party ink will void the HP+ benefits, and most likely disable your machine( if the software can detect the non-HP ink cartridges).So if you enjoy or think you will like HP's instant ink program, then this is definitely the printer for you. The HP+ program claims to be able to save up to 50% off on ink.
I have been printing for a few days, and I am almost out of yellow ink, and the other color cartridges are half empty.To be fair, I have printed 12 ( 8.5x11 photos ) , 10 ( 4x6 photos), and about 50 text document pages, so I am already near my max pages printed for the month.
If you print more than 100 pages per month, you might want to buy the next plan up, otherwise you spend $1.00 for every 10 pages over the 100 for the month.
The Best feature of this printer is the speed. It can print just about any full size photo(8.5"x11") at high quality in 1minute and 30seconds, give or take a few more seconds based on the photo. For normal quality settings, it only takes 23 seconds to print an 8.5"x11" photo. It will also print 4"x6" photos in 30 seconds, at high quality.
Even scanning is fast for this machine, it can scan at 300dpi, a 8.5"x11" photo in 10 seconds.It even offers double sided printing and scanning. With scan resolutions of 75, 150, and 300dpi.
Part of the reason this printer is so quick is because of the 1.2Ghz Processor ,and the 512MBs of memory.
This machine can print black only, or color pages in draft quality at 32PPM. On normal to high quality, it will print black at 22PPM, and color at 18PPM. In contrast most other printers print black at 13 to 15PPM, and color at 11 to 13PPM.
The HP 9015e prints HD quality prints, with 1200x1200 rendered dpi -black and 4800x1200 optimized dpi -color(using HP Advanced Photo Paper).The printer can use any media sizes from 3" x 5" up to 13" x 18", at 16lbs to 110lbs. This leaves it open to a lot of different potential projects.
Print from anywhere works pretty good, as long as your printer is registered and linked to your account and app. There is a printer setting in the app for "print anywhere" that you will have to enable to use the service first, and it's that easy. Just use the HP Smart app like you would normally and select what and how to print it.
Scanning from the PC gets you three automated features, Auto-enhancements , Auto-heal, and Auto-orientation.Advanced Scan is coming to the mobile version soon, which will let you scan multiple objects in one picture shot. Each item will be saved as it's own page, and can be saved as searchable text files. The Advanced Scan also lets you scan books, and will automatically correct curved pages to separate and straighten them out. Auto Heal will remove distracting marks and any other imperfections in your photos.max scan size is 8.5" x 14" with ADF
and 8.5" x 11.7" flatbed
and 8.5" x 11.7" flatbed
Faxing is pretty simple, just like with most machines, you enter the phone number and hit send. If you don't have a physical fax cover page, you can create one from the touch screen. You can fax from the flatbed scanner, your phone, or the ADF.The ADF will hold up to 35 pages for faxing or scanning, just keep in mind that if any of your papers are warped or crinkled in any way it might cause pages to stick together when running through the ADF. I always double check my page count, to the printed fax summary reports, to make sure everything went through ok. The 9015e has an impressive 100 speed dial slots, and can store up to 100 pages to fax, just keep in mind it takes about 4 seconds per page to fax something. The fax resolution can be adjusted up to 300 x 300.You can send unlimited faxes from your phone for the trial period, after the trial period the faxes will be limited for free subscriptions.
You are also eligible for free incoming faxes for 12 months. To save paper on incoming faxes you can enable the 2-sided fax printing.

Overall the print quality and speed of this printer is really exceptional for an office printer, and very good even compared to a photo printer. The HP Smart software is pretty easy to use, to resize, crop or edit files or pictures. ( just make sure you are using the right print settings before printing for either a document or photo ). The addition of faxing from your phone, creating searchable pdfs, and tailored shortcuts really add back to the convenience of this printer. I am still pretty impressed with how accurate the color matching is on prints compared to original scanned images.

Best Gaming Keyboard to date
on April 12, 2021

Corsair has really gone out of their way with what this keyboard and iCue can do. iCue lets you create up to 50 "profiles" , in the program. The 8Mb of onboard storage does create a limitation on the amount of hardware saved profiles, but should be sufficient for most people. With each profile you can create different software based lighting effects and one hardware based lighting effect. Each Lighting effect can have several different layers (20max on the hardware), the different layers let you select different or the same keys to create an unlimited amount of lighting effects. Here you can overlay colors and manipulate each layer's opacity and lighting effect. There are several different animated effects to choose from too. Each profile can also be linked to a specific game or program, so that when that profile is selected it will launch the associated game/program.
The keyboard has an onboard memory of 8MB where you can store several different profiles including lighting effect, applications, key assignments, and macros.The number of profiles is only limited to complexity of each profile and the remaining storage.
The macro capabilities of this keyboard are pretty impressive too. Just for the fun of it, and test how much data I could put into 1 macro, I typed out a whole paragraph.iCue recorded all my typing, and even recorded all the pauses in my typing as well, so that when it was played back, the paragraph typed out exactly as I had done it originally, right done to the timing. This can be very helpful for automating different types of tasks in games or websites. However, if you don't want the pauses or "delays" included, you can select to have all of them removed. Delays can later be inserted at random or set inverals, baseds on your needs. The app and feature is very accommodating.
The Axon hyper-processing maxes out at 8000Hz Hyper-polling where possible, not all systems are recommended to use the full 8000Hz because it can be very taxing on the system's resources.Luckily iCue will notify you if your system does not recommend that feature, but you can most likely pick 4000Hz which is nothing to sneeze at. Most people will not even notice the difference in the polling rates, typically most gaming keyboards run at 1000Hz and that is sufficient for most all games. Because not all systems are capable of running at 8000Hz, the default polling rate is set to 1000Hz, and must be changed in the "device settings" to get the higher speeds.
****Because this keyboard version is new in Corsairs line up, there is not much for documentation on the complete directions for all it's features. I am hoping to give enough information here to help with that. Most of the features you can get the jist of by experimenting with iCue, and looking at the "Key" descriptions in the manual, but the biggest questions are how to save hardware effects and use them. They just recently updated iCue to work with this keyboard, so the layout is slightly different. Once you have created your own profile with all the options you want, it will be saved in the app on your pc/device, but to save it to the keyboards onboard memory you must select the "device settings" tab and look at the bottom portion of that window. Here you will see the "onboard memory", from here you can overwrite a profile or create a new one with all your current settings and preferences. Once your new profile is saved to the memory you can activate it directly on the keyboard while it is connected to any device, even if iCue is not installed on it. The other portion of this neat feature, is the question on how to activate it. The profiles themselves can easily be switched to using the "profile" button that looks like a person's torso above the F10 key. There is no indicator or display to let you know which profile you are on. They are activated in the order they were saved, and will re-scroll the list as many times as you want. The missing direction here is how to activate your saved "hardware lighting" effects, just hold down the "FN" button and press "`" (the tilde key). If you are in the correct profile you will get the effect you want. You can always select any of the 10 preset lighting effects by holding the "FN" button and pressing any of the regular number keys (not the top row numbered function keys).
macros could be used to help out with tedious tasks, for example in Minecraft. If you wanted to recreate a small structure several times on your map, you could record a macro of you creating the structure, and then activate that macro in the next spot you want it created. There you will have a perfect replica anywhere you want, providing you stocked up on the required materials.
The optional gaming keycaps included in the box are actually very nice, and give just enough difference in feel to provide a slight advantage when finding and using those keys. All the keys on the keyboard are PBT which is one of the most durable materials for keys out there, and in my opinion offer a superior grip feeling anyway. The included gaming keycaps have slightly raised edges and a more pronounced grip pattern to further this advantage.
Most people looking at this keyboard should already know this, but "TKL" = Tenkeyless , which simply means there is no number keypad The "Champion Series" title comes from a set of features based on the input of several esports professionals over the years. The biggest features include the Cherry Silver switches, compact layout, Windows lock key, PBT keycaps, contoured FPS and MOBA keycaps , 8000Hz hyper-polling rate, and a tournament switch.
The tournament switch shuts off any and all customizations for macros, key assignments, and lighting. It provides a solid background light( by default is red, but can be changed), to cut down on distractions. It also locks the Window's key to prevent accidental key presses, which could remove you from your game.
The media controls are dedicated keys located along the top of the keyboard, and offer the basic controls for music or videos. The mute button and volume scroll are located to the top right. The volume scroll has a little resistance to it, to prevent from over scrolling and accidentally maxing your volume out.
The keyboard itself is actually pretty heavy, which I prefer, it gives the keyboard a sense of durability and helps prevent the keyboard from shifting around on the table during intense games. The aluminum body and the 1.5mm thick PBT keycaps only add to the durability of the unit. The included cable is a 6ft USB-C cable. With the cable being a USB-C, it makes this keyboard more portable, in that you can simply unplug the cable from the top of the keyboard, and leave it connected to your pc. Then you can use any length USB-C cable to connect it to any other device. Because of its compact design, I will place it on my lap for a more comfortable typing experience when I'm not gaming.
When I am gaming, this keyboard is incredible, it is ultra fast and accurate with every game I have tried. I don't have to waste time bottoming out every key either. The increased polling rates make rapid firing a breeze, even turning around is seamless. Everything about this keyboard is super responsive, and dead on.
There are two reasons this keyboard is so quick. One is the Axon Hyper-Processing technology which can increase your polling rate up to 8 times faster than other gaming keyboards. The second reason is the MX Cherry Silver switch that all the keys have. The Silver switch is MX Cherry's fastest switch they have ever made, primarily because of the shorter actuator distance. Cherry's typical gaming switches ( ie, the Red ) have a 2mm actuator distance, the Silver's is only 1.2mm. Making the switch extremely fast and responsive. Sometimes it feels like I haven't even touched the key, but it still registers. Finally a keyboard that works as fast as my fingers, and should never miss a beat with the NKRO(full N-Key rollover) and 100% anti-ghosting (meaning all keys will register no matter how fast they are pressed). Of course all this speed can be muted by other factors, like the games software or internet speeds.
The keyboard does not come with a wrist pad, but I would definitely recommend getting one. Corsair offers one specific for this model, but if you already have one handy it might just line up fine.
There is also no water resistance rating on this keyboard, so even though Corsair offers a 2 year warranty, it will be voided from water damage, so keep your drinks at a distance.
Overall this keyboard is just fantastic, the performance is off the charts. It offers everything a casual gamer and professional gamer would want. Plus it has an unlimited amount of customizations available to keep everyone happy.
