Get more work done on your 10.5-inch iPad Pro or iPad Air (2019) when you connect this Brydge Bluetooth keyboard. The backlit keys let you type easily in any lighting, and the battery lasts up to one year between charges for reliable performance. This Brydge Bluetooth keyboard snaps easily in place and closes over the tablet screen on a 180-degree hinge.

Convertible 10.5 iPad Keyboard Looks Like OEM!
on October 8, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION:
The Brydge 10.5 raises the bar for the very best Wireless Keyboard for the 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pro that money can buy. This keyboard is built with high grade aluminum with choice of Space Gray, Silver, Gold or Rose Gold precision finish that perfectly matches the 10.5" iPad Pro.
The keys are super responsive to the touch & only travel 1.2 mm; the feel is crisp & precise. Stroke any key & the backlit keys instantly illuminate. You can even select 3 levels of illumination right from the keyboard!
REVIEW:
This keyboard contains 78 keys, so you have the Apple iOS specific keys, music player, volume up / down, Bluetooth, etc. on the top row.
With the iPad Pro 10.5 installed to this keyboard, total thickness with it "closed" is only 1/2". A competitive wireless keyboard measures 1.1" thick in the same "closed" position.
Set-up is very quick & simple: Insert the iPad into the rubber coated supports (they will not scratch or mar the iPad). Press the Power button for 3 seconds until the green light illuminates. Press the Bluetooth pair button for 3 seconds. The Power button flashes blue. Go to Settings / Bluetooth on the iPad. Select "Brydge 10.5". The power button stops flashing & becomes solid blue. All set!
Battery life is the longest I have seen in a Wireless Keyboard. I charged it fully, which took 3 hours. Brydge claims if used 2 hrs / day, the battery will hold it's charge for 1 year!
The only concern I have is the weight of adding a keyboard to a lightweight tablet. If you build a quality product using premium materials, such as high grade aluminum in this case, expect to add weight. The keyboard (not including the 1 ib. iPad Pro) measured 1 lb. 3 7/8 oz on a precision kitchen scale. The combined weight of 10.5" iPad Pro + Keyboard = 2 lb. 3 7/8 oz. By comparison, this is lighter & thinner than the 13.3" 2.96 lb, 0.7" thick MacBook Air. For times when you want to "go light", simply hold the keyboard securely on a solid surface & pull up on the iPad to remove it from the rubber coated clamps. It makes the iPad a "Convertible". Perfect!! Now you have the best of both worlds.
CONCLUSION:
This is a beautiful, fully equipped keyboard for the 10.5" iPad Pro. The best compliment I can give it is simply: the Brydge Wireless Keyboard does not look like an Aftermarket accessory to your iPad Pro. It honestly looks like OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)! Expect it to turn heads!

Ultimate Technology Gaming Router Delivers the Win
on October 1, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
PREFACE:
The cutting edge Linksys - WRT32X AC3200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gaming Router with Killer Prioritization Engine is designed for the Gamer who has a Killer-enabled PC. This router, working in conjunction with the Killer-enabled PC, provides gaming traffic the highest priority on your network. The Killer Engine cuts lag by 77%. This greatly enhances the Gaming experience through improved reaction time & consistency.
The WRT32X not only offers the unique Killer Prioritization Engine, it delivers fast, solid performance for all applications.
I experienced a hiccup during set-up; following the instructions to the letter would not produce internet access at the IP Address specified in the Quick Start Guide. I contacted Linksys Technical Support & they quickly identified the issue on the first call - I was blown away by the Linksys Support!! The Router was simply generating a different IP address on Mac Sierra OS. Once they located the issue, set-up was a breeze! See photo showing the Linksys Dashboard & Download speed of 329MB/Second!
LIKES:
1- Killer Prioritization Engine (requires Killer-enabled PC to use this benefit)
2- High Speed Router (see photo; I am running 329MB/Second, the limit of my ISP!
3- Elegant Interface (see photo)
4- Striking appearance
5- LED's on front panel can be switched On / Off through the Interface
6- Silent Operation
7- Easy Set-up using Mac, PC or Mobile Device
8- Superb Technical Support! See Preface for details.
9- 4) Gigabit Ethernet Ports
10- High Speed USB 3.0 & USB 2.0 Jacks for external data storage to share with your Network
11- Packaging is Top-of-the-Line with folding / magnetic closure / padded case
12- The 4) external antennas are adjustable to direct the signal to best suit your application
DISLIKES:
1- Router is not Bridge Mode capable. I use 4) Routers in Bridge Mode to build a powerful Mesh Network with 97 wireless clients throughout 5,000 square feet over 3 floors + IP cameras outdoors. Unfortunately, the WRT32X cannot join other Linksys routers in an existing Network in Bridge Mode. (Linksys EA9500 & EA9300 do a great job in Bridge Mode!). Surprisingly, this is the only router I have tested in the past 2 years without Bridge Mode capability.
2- This Router does not use the Linksys Router Management Mobile App that every Linksys Router I own uses. Set-up is managed through IP Address (see Preface for the hiccup this caused).
CONCLUSION:
The WRT32X is a huge success & achieves what no other Router can accomplish today. It is a highly capable High Speed Router. For those gamers with a Killer-enabled PC, this is a Must Have Router to complete the Ultimate Gaming System.
For non gaming use, this router shines with high speed, though the cost premium for the Killer Prioritization Engine may be a concern, since gaining that benefit requires a Killer-enabled PC.
If you need to cover a very large area, such as 5,000 square feet / 3 floors, using Bridge Mode on multiple Routers is a common technique to expand your network; however this is a feature not included on the WRT-32X.

Premium Quality, Highly Capable Portable Projector
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
PREFACE:
The Epson Pro EX9220 is designed to give your presentations the WINNING EDGE with the highest color & white brightness levels & tack sharp images. Surprisingly, with all of the input choices, mirror capability & a loaded remote, I simply plugged in an HDMI cable, turned on my source, slid the projector lens door open & pressed Power. In about 20 seconds, the Pro 9220 had automatically selected my input & there was a sunning image with sound! This is the easiest projector to set up I have ever used!
LIKES:
1- BRIGHT Color & White Images show high contrast, even in a brightly lit room!! 3,600 rated lumens color & white brightness.
2- Razor Sharp images with extraordinary detail: 1080p+ WUXGA resolution: (1920 x 1200) offers 4.5x more resolution than SVGA for full HD 1080p content.
3- Near silent operation (37dB in Normal Power Consumption mode; 28dB in ECO mode).
4- Built-in air filter with onboard indicator when it needs cleaning.
5- Lightweight, easy to carry: 6.17 #.
6- Deeply padded carry bag is included with a shoulder strap!
7- Very attractive design. This projector sets you apart from other presenters with it's professional appearance, even when it is turned off.
8- Built-in 2 Watt Monaural Speaker.
9- A myriad of inputs: USB / 2 HDMI jacks / VGA Video Port / Wireless / Mirror Input / Video / Audio R / L jacks.
10- Wireless Screen Mirroring: using Miracast (Android / windows 8.1+; iOS requires airplay).
11- Wireless - built to project from your tablet, laptop, or smartphone with no wires, enabling full mobility form the presenter!
12- Small Modern Profile: 11.9" W x 9.8" D x 3.4" H.
13- Remote operates with a 20 foot range.
DISLIKES
1- The built-in speaker is small & naturally has a very limited frequency response. An external speaker jack would enable connection to a sound system in an auditorium. If your input source has an external audio jack, that is the best way to port sound to an external amplified speaker system. Unfortunately, my input source (Amazon Fire TV) does NOT have an external audio output & I am stuck with the limited audio from the projector speaker.
2- Adding Bluetooth would also enable porting sound to external speakers.
CONCLUSION:
The Epson Pro EX9220 Projector can transform your mundane submission to a professional presentation with stunning visual appeal that will long be remembered. It earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

Premium Quality Digital Optical Cable Priced Right
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rocketfish offers Premium Digital Audio Cables that deliver the clearest audio & are built to last a lifetime!
I use premium cables to bring out DTS & Dolby Atmos while viewing the latest LG OLED 4K UHD TV. I chose a Rocketfish cable from Best Buy instead of the much more expensive and highly advertised premium cable brand. The 2 photos show this Rocketfish Digital Optical Cable.
The sound quality through the Rocketfish HDMI is stunning using DTS & Dolby Atmos source material. I could not hear any difference between the Rocketfish and the most highly advertised brands that cost several times more.
Examinations of the cable's physical attributes show very expensive materials, with no shortcuts. The cable is very thick (approximately 3/8" diameter) showing extra durability in the cable. The plugs are super heavy duty, an incredibly strong, lightweight material with the highest physical strength - the thickness & the plugs are exactly the same as the most expensive "premium brand" cables.
Beware of THIN optical cables. They do not flex many times without breaking the optical cable inside. Thin cables cost less, and are less expensive to manufacture. On the "high end" extreme, well engineered plugs add physical strength (they won't break if hit).
This cable made a believer out of me. Rocketfish offers the absolute BEST in quality digital optical audio signal transmission with the highest quality construction at the best value.
Rocketfish earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

Miracle Worker on Pet Stains
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
My wife & I share our 5,000 square foot home with 3) adult rescued cats & 1) bird. One cat is senior & another has sensitive stomach. Between the 2, we are guaranteed to have a mess to clean up every night. We had 2) today.
Until now, we would bring out the large steam cleaner every time, and depending on which of the 3) floors is involved, this meant carrying the 20+ # steamer up or down the stairs. My wife & I are both Seniors, so this is a real burden. Spot cleaning has not worked in the past, and has set stains more often than make them disappear.
Neither of us had high expectations for the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser - simply because we have been cleaning up the difficult way for so long, we did not believe a simpler way existed. Thankfully, we were wrong!!
I removed the Pet Stain Eraser from the box, and within an hour, a cat obliged us with an opportunity to use it! It was a "Here goes nothing" moment. Filled it with the included bottle of BISSELL® Professional Spot & Stain + Oxy Formula - Portable Cleaners. Plugged in the power supply & waited for the 3 blue bars.
We turned it on, pressed the fluid spray on the target & rubbed it with the brush. The stain disappeared! Figured it might reappear in the morning. It didn't - in fact, it looked even better & was completely gone!
See the 2) Before & After photos that show the results!
Next we tried an old area rug that had more pet stains than we could count - and some have been on it for 10 years! The steamer had not removed the stains, but had sanitized the rug. We applied the same technique described earlier, and the rug came out looking new. Waited 3 days later before reporting this - it STILL looks new!! This sold us!! This little tool is a Miracle Worker on Pet Stains!!
Tonight I bought several 32 ounce BISSELL® Professional Spot & Stain + Oxy Formula - Portable Cleaners because we have already used up the 2) 6 ounce bottles that were included.
Here are detailed observations:
LIKES:
1- Lightweight
2- Removable fill tank, "dirty" tank & brush
3- Inexpensive (compared to a strong steamer, especially)
4- Small; easy to store
5- Attractive product
6- Lithium-iON Battery holds a charge for 15 minutes - more than enough to erase a number of stains
7- 4 Hour charging time
8- Easy to use
9- Fast! Clean-up takes 2 minutes, start to finish
10- IT REALLY WORKS!!
DISLIKES:
1- Would pay extra for a holster to hang it on the wall; this is a tool that has to sit around or be placed in a drawer. We use it daily; a wall holster would be so handy.
CONCLUSION:
The Bissell Pet Stain Eraser REALLY WORKS!! It earned my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

Craft is the Platinum Standard Wireless Keyboard
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
INTRODUCTION:
Logitech Craft Wireless Keyboard sets your desk apart, exuding quality & precision workmanship. My existing keyboard is an Apple Magic Keyboard. I did not think I could ever find a better keyboard, until Logitech engineered Craft. This is truly an amazing piece of engineering!
LIKES:
1- Appearance is expensive / premium quality / high end product. See 2) attached photos.
2- Build Quality is top notch. I was shocked at the extreme attention to detail & workmanship built into Craft! Example: The knob, described in Point #4, is made of machined aluminum, not plastic!
3- The keys are honed to a deep cup shape & are a delight to the touch.
4- The prominent, aluminum knob on the back left is programmable through software & is app dependent. By default on my Mac Pro, it adjusts system volume & can control parameters in Word, Excel & many creative applications.
5- Mac & PC friendly.
6- Numeric Pad built-in.
7- Silent, positive action keys.
8- Backlit keys illuminate as your hands approach the keyboard before you actually touch any keys. This helps locate the keys & the effect is beautiful. The backlight also reacts to the light in your space & increases or decreases illumination as ambient lighting changes.
9- 3) Mac, PC, or tablet Device control from this one keyboard by touching 1, 2, or 3 special keys, each with connection indicator lights.
10- The dark gray & aluminum color blends in with any office environment.
11- Extra keys such as monitor brightness, volume up / down, Dashboard, etc. function exactly as OEM keyboard. No lost functionality.
12- Perfect compliment to MX Master 2S Mouse in color, feel, functionality & 3 device control.
13- Logitech App allows many specific tweaks.
14- Long range wireless transmission (over 32 feet).
15- Easily recharge by the included USB type C cable.
16- Caps Lock light.
17- I am using Craft with PowerPlay Gaming Mouse Pad, G903 mouse & G703 mouse & MX Master 2S Mouse. They all work together beautifully & make a killer setup! See 2) attached photos.
18- Heavy, sturdy construction. Weighs 960 grams (2.12 #). Craft sits where placed & does not slide or move around.
DISLIKES:
1- Space between "alt opt" and "C" or "V" keys is twice the distance apart compared with an Apple keyboard; thumb & index finger can barely reach these frequently used keys for Copy / Paste. This results in hitting "Command alt" by mistake (then having to repeat the process).
2- Latest Mac Pro required the included Unifying Received USB to connect. Connecting via Bluetooth to Mac Pro failed immediately upon each attempt. Yet, iPad Pro connected via Bluetooth without a hitch.
CONCLUSION:
This is the heaviest, best built keyboard I have ever seen, much less owned! Craft is the Platinum Standard Wireless Keyboard & earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

Clear Audio from Heavy Duty Digital Optical Cable

WINDOWS ONLY High Speed Document Scanner
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Epson WorkForce DS-860 Scanner is a compact, high speed scanner with tremendous capability. Unfortunately, it will ONLY work on WINDOWS OS.
LIKES:
1- Compact size: 11.8" W x 8.7" D x 8.1" H. See the 2 photos I posted showing the small footprint. As a point of comparison, I placed it between myMac Pro computer (the black round "coffee can") & the back of a 4K monitor.
2- High Speed (Scans 65 copies / minute in black; very fast color scans, as well).
3- Duplex Scan in 1 pass.
4- No paper jambs. Very well engineered document feeder & paper path. See photo of the paper path.
5- Large capacity automatic document feeder holds 80 sheets.
6- Maximum scan size is 8.5" x 120". Scans letter & legal documents with ease.
7- Scans business cards, plastic cards, paper & card stock.
8- No warm up time required, due to the LED light, rather than traditional fluorescent halogen or incandescent light sources.
9- Energy Star Certified, with the seal on the front panel.
10- Very quiet operation.
DISLIKES:
1- WILL NOT work on any OS except WINDOWS! I called Epson technical support after diligently searching the internet for a driver that might work on Mac OS Sierra Version 10.12.6. No Twain or ISIS driver would work! Yet my Mac Pro is wirelessly connected to 2) far less expensive All-in-One Scanner / Fax / Printers located on different floors & they both work on MacOS 100% of the time.
2- No Wireless Connectivity. This is a USB connected scanner, only.
3- No Air Printing Capability. Due to the USB connection requirement, printing from a smart phone or tablet is not possible.
4- Maximum scan width is limited to 8.5".
5- No flatbed scanning capability; auto document feed operation, only.
CONCLUSION:
The Epson WorkForce DS-860 Scanner is a solid performer. It is an essential ingredient to the modern office & easily facilitates scanning documents to the Cloud. I tested this workhorse for 3 days. Unfortunately, I was unable to test it on my own computer, a 12-Core Mac Pro running the latest Version of MacOS Sierra.

Full 12dB Signal Boost With Pictures to Prove it!
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The weBoost DRIVE SLEEK 4G cellular booster is a low profile, inconspicuous device, where nothing shows except for a tiny modern outside antenna on the roof of the vehicle & the cradle for inside the passenger compartment. Everything needed for the plug and play installation is included with very simple instructions. There is even a toll free help line, if you have any questions. The cradle is spring loaded, designed to fit the smallest to the largest cellphones in their cases. My cellphone is an Apple iPhone 6S Plus with Tech21 Case. It fit with plenty of room to spare.
Wilson sells an optional Home & Office Accessory Kit to enable this Booster to work in that venue. This Booster is made for one user: one cell phone.
I placed my iPhone 6S Plus in Field Test Mode to check out the signal in actual dB numbers, not just in the number of bars, which can vary widely & is not a dependable indicator.
Here is how to place an iPhone in Field Test Mode: Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call. On the upper left hand part of the screen you'll see the dB reading. See my 2) photos that show Boost ON with white LED & Boost OFF with no LED.
With boost OFF, my iPhone read -118dB (see photo of phone in cradle without the white LED, meaning the Booster is OFF).
With boost ON, my iPhone read -106dB (see photo showing the white LED on the booster, meaning the Booster is ON).
So how much is 12dB of signal increase (118dB - 106dB)?
**** 12 dB is 16 times the power! ****
dB gain is measured exponentially. For every +3 dB gain translates to doubling the signal strength. For every +10 dB is 10 times the signal strength. 12 dB is 16 times the power!
Summary: The weBoost DRIVE SLEEK 4G cellular booster performs as advertised. A 16X signal increase will reduce dropped calls, extend cell phone battery life, as the phone does not need to work as hard to communicate with the nearest cell tower. In weak cell signal areas, you will experience clearer communication by avoiding digital signal breakup where portions of the conversation would have been chopped off. This is a very easy to install solution to overcome those weak "cell signal blues". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

How do you charge the cameras?

An included magnetic cord with USB is used to charge the battery. Simply place it on the bottom of the Ultra Camera & it sticks & electrically connects to the camera. You have the option of keeping power on the battery during use, if a wall outlet is handy.

Thank you!

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

I have an Eero wireless router with 3 satellite ports. It works well in my 2 story home. Do the cameras need to be 50 to 100 ft from the base or from the Eero satellite port?

The cameras must directly interact with the Base. The "Smart" features are actually in the Base. I am finding much greater distance than the quoted distance of the Ultra camera rom the Base. The base plugs into the router via Ethernet, so the Wireless Router distance to the camera does not matter.

Thank you!

How long do batteries last on the cameras

The answer totally depends on the amount of motion the camera sees. In a quiet environment, I saw nearly 2 months of battery life. In a high motion environment, I had to charge it about once / week. By motion, I mean a dog or a person alerting the camera to motion.

Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
 

Can you pair Arlo pro 2 cameras with this system as well? We have 2 arlo pro 2 cameras we would like to utilize on the new system if possible.

YES! I have 5) Arlo Pro 2 Cameras & they work beautifully with the new Smart Base that is included with the new Arlo Ultra. Yours will work beautifully!
However, you cannot pair the new Ultra Camera with the old base you used with your Arlo Pro 2 Cameras. You will no longer need or would want to use that old base. This new one is far superior.

Thank you!

Create custom climate control settings in each room of your home with this pack of three Google Nest temperature sensors. Each sensor communicates directly with your Nest thermostat (not included) to keep your bedroom, living room or nursery at the perfect setting. These sensors work on the wall or on a shelf for convenient setup. With their low-profile design, these Google Nest temperature sensors blend seamlessly with your room's decor.
 

What is the difference in using these vs. buying a few thermostats for my home? Do I only need one thermostat for my home and then allow these to control the temperature in each zone?

These allow one thermostat to be temperature controlled from any room in the house with this sensor. Plus, the Nest App will show the actual room temp at every room where you placed a sensor.

By contrast, if you bought a few thermostats for your house, and tried to pull the wires from your HVAC to each thermostat, you would still need manual switches to go from 1 to 2 to 3, for example, because only 1 thermostat can connect to 1 HVAC at a time. That would be a nightmare.

The product page shows that a $25 rebate is available to purchasers in Cape Cod. The MA-saves website shows no option to get such a rebate. Which is correct ??

The rebate would be through your utility company. I would recommend calling your local utility company in Cape Cod & ask them to send you the rebate form.

Take your workout to the next level with Powerbeats³ Wireless earphones, featuring up to 12 hours of battery life to last through multiple workouts and secure-fit earhooks to maximize comfort and stability. With Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge gives you 1 hour of playback. Sweat and water resistance provides trusted durability and dual-driver acoustics deliver dynamic sound to power your workout.
 

Why it is not able to connect to my laptop? It works well with the iphone.

The headphones may be automatically connecting to your iPhone, retaining that connection, and if so, cannot connect to your laptop if it is nearby, as Bluetooth can connect to only one source at a time.

Power your iPhone off as a test, or, if you prefer, simply swipe up the screen from the bottom & select Bluetooth OFF.

Then go to settings on your laptop - Bluetooth - make visible. Press & hold the headphone power button on. Look for the headphones on your laptop Bluetooth list. It should be there now. Click on the WH-CH700N.

Power your iPhone back on, or restore Bluetooth, which you previously turned off.

Can you activate Google Assistant with the mic like you can Siri? I didn't see it listed as a feature.

Great Question!!

You can activate an assistant with the WH-CH700N the same as you can with the iOS Home button.

If you can activate Google Assistant by pressing the Home Button & speaking into the phone, then you can activate Google Assistant with the WH-CH700N.

However, if you press the Home Button & it only brings up Siri, that is the same result to expect from WH-CH700N.

Go to Settings - Accessibility - Home Button - Voice Control. If you can get Google Assistant to open, then the answer to your question is YES.

I tried, but was unable to get the phone to open Google Assistant by voice.
