Good for small repair
The microscope was a gift for a hobbyist who works with tiny electronic components. He is currently doing intensive laptop repairs and had to work on tiny circuit boards for this.
The magnification is perfect. Even small grains of dust can be seen.
The color fidelity and intensity is ok
. Here one would have to make deductions if it is important, but since we are on it

Fantastic budget headset but make sure you do one
I have purchase 4 other budget headsets (similar price and more expensive) and these were the best by far . With great price, design, comfort, and quality sound, these are definitely worth picking up.Things to note: Make sure you have your Xbox sound settings adjusted correctly. I bought a used Xbox for my son and the sound settings were all turned down low so when I plugged these in I barely heard anything. Then adjust the Xbox sound settings and it completely changed the sound. Not many headsets have enough power to where o have to turn it down from full volume and with these I have them around 90-95% volume.They also feel very premium for the price. Only visual gripe for me is the big right/left lettering on the outside. I think design wise they could have put a smaller L/R in a semi darker color.Only negative for me with these is the mic wire is a little flimsy doesn’t really stay when you adjust it. But overall I don’t think you can beat these for $20. Great buy!Update: these cracked a lot in party chat. People couldn’t hear me and game was going on and out. Will end up returning.

Unusual Desk/Side-table lamp
EDIT-UPDATE: We had trouble with the switch, and upon our returning the lamp, BenQ sent us a replacement. So we are impressed with the BenQ customer service as well.ORIGINAL REVIEW:The BenQ WiT LED Desk Lamp is not like your typical Target/Staples, etc. LED office lamp; it is quite a substantial piece. The base is very heavy to prevent the lamp from tipping; the stand is metal and is nicely finished. Touching a chrome ring turns the light on/off, and a dial adjusts the color of the lamp light gradually either towards the blue or towards the yellow. The yellow setting comes closest to an incandescent lamp I have seen in an LED. As others have mentioned, due to the placement of the dial in relation to the ring, I have also accidentally turned the lamp off when adjusting the color. I have found the lamp to be comfortable for computer work, reading, and my wife says it's fine for knitting. The beam is not as focused as most LED lamps; the light is more diffuse, so it is probably not generally ideal as a bedside lamp (besides being too large for most night tables). Whether or not the lamp is worth the higher price will depend on how much the design appeals, and whether it fits in with the decor.

Super fun wired rainbow keyboard and mouse combo!
Here are my priorities for a keyboard and mouse combo:* Mechanical. The little slim keys that you can't even feel moving are too new-age for me.* Sturdy. As in, I will beat this poor thing up within an inch of its life, it needs to be durable.* Wireless. Fail, not due to the product, but due to my reading comprehension. Bright side (ha!) that means no battery changes and endless rainbows of color. Worth it.* Able to be tilted, not just flat for easier typing.* Not cost a small - or large - fortune.* Lights can be on or off, because sometimes the world needs to be a little darker.This set hits all but one of the above. It's a festive bright rainbow of colors lurking beneath a black keyboard. I love that the light shines through the letters.The mouse has a rainbow of color moving along the back edge, with the mouse roller pulsing colors also. You can push the button to temporarily change the color, which changes the color of the mouse roller and eagle on the back to match.Both plugged into the back of my system with USB cords, and were recognized quickly. They're responsive to my typing or mousing, and work well for the tasks needed. (Primarily online nonsense, I'm not a gamer, but ooooh, rainbows!)

Quit thinking and BUY ONE!
I debated buying a gopro for several years. I always felt I wasn't extreme or epic enough to be spending money on a silly "sports cam". Boy was I wrong. Not only is it hysterical to watch footage of yourself and friends falling it's actually just a great toy no matter your experience level. I actually found myself learning some of my own mistakes by watching self footage and caught some good tumbles on "tape" too. I've taken it snowboarding since I've gotten it and I plan to take it mtn biking and to the track (cars) as it gets warmer. The mounts and ease of control for taking the video make it both easy to use as well as provide some confidence I'm not going to lose the "expensive" toy. It was a lot of fun taking silly videos at Christmas and it's a lot of fun to get video off your dog in 4k. If you've been thinking about getting a gopro -- stop thinking and just get one. The first few videos will be well worth it. In a day and age of technology, it seems we've taken less family videos than our parents and grandparents. This might not be a real substitution, but it is some good laughs!

If that "W" in "W-King" stands for anything it wou
I am VERY HAPPY with this speaker! This pleases my audiophile pickiness. It sounds great out of the box. I am using it with my work computer via Bluetooth and a usb power adaptor plug in wall outlet.I have an eq software installed "speaker amp" (it's free for mac). It's not needed but my work area is small and the bass maginfylies no matter what the speaker size is, needless to say I love the bass but with this speaker my brain feels like its vibratting. Imagine a wiggling jello cup, not so good for concentrating on work. Anyhow the app is used to lessen the bass and to tweak some of the midtones. There are 2 as settings on the box itself too, one of which reduces the bass.So if anyone chooses, an eq app on the phone can help to brighten up the tones.Using an eq software is my preference but as I said before it does not need it for the bass.The sound quality is so crisp! I even get to hear sounds normally heard in headphones.I haven't crank to full blast but can only imagine what adding a second speaker sounds like.If that "W" in "W-King" stands for anything it would be "Worth-every-single-penny!-The-WATT"-King

There is a beautiful deep throaty grumble this kit
You'll buy this for the sound alone! BUT READ THIS FIRST BEFORE BUYING!!Unfortunately there is not much of a noticeable power increase but there are about 1-2 MPG to be gained if you aren't driving aggressive. The 4th generation Ram 5.7 Hemi has an impressively un-restrictive air- box intake system, due to this you won't notice any difference in engine sound until you reach 2000 RPM or you step on it right off the line. There is a beautiful deep throaty grumble this kit creates that every Hemi deserves, this alone is worth the $$.Please understand that the ram is already a very fast truck for it's size, the onboard computer will only allow so much air to flow through the intake and the 8-speed trans is constantly trying to keep the truck at lower RPM's. If I was a betting man I would say a race between two Ram's (one with and one without this kit) would yield a tie, BUT one would sound much better.Install was very quick & easy, this kit utilizes fairly quality components and the filter cone is HUGE!Oh and for the people claiming that the K&N drop in filter will change the sound of the vehicle are just plain wrong, there is absolutely no change in sound or performance, this kit is what you need for the sound change.

Fantastic Keyboard
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is pretty particular ( geeks.. who knew?)Our budget this year was pretty minimal and I wanted to get him something nice. I know he wanted a new nice keyboard so I did some researching. I know that he wanted one of the really expensive nice ( insert name brand here) keyboards but I just could not afford it. So, I started looking at this one and reading the many reviews on it and a few others. I was pleased with what I read so I took a gamble and got this one.He was really happy with it when he got it and as he has used it over the past few months it has really grown on him. He is a gamer as well as using it for logical things and he has not had one single complaint. It is easy to use, does exactly what it brags.. and is worth every penny.Oh I forgot to mention.. It stands up to my 1 year old grandson who is a future geek and he loves the lights on that keyboard and he loves the buttons so if THAT does not tell you something? I do not know what will.If you are looking for a good keyboard.. Look no more. You have found it here!

meh - but yeah good
I'm giving it four stars because I like action movies; and even though I didn't have time to finish it during the first sitting, I still wanted to see ending the following day. Yes, Guy Ritchie is amazing, and this movie is no different. This update of an older film has so many threads of intertwined good guys and bad guys that it's worth it to hit 'pause' and think it through.I say meh, because Jason Statham can't seem to get out of the Jason Statham rut - which is awesome - but leaves you wanting more. And even though he's working with Guy again, there is none of humor he imbued his character with in Snatch. Oh well, he's still awesome to watch and you know he going to kick butt.Fun seeing Josh Hartnett and Andy Garcia pop in. Wish Josh hadn't taken such a log break from acting, he seems unable to capture his previous magic to be eligible for leading roles - but his undeniable talent makes for excellent quirky side characters.Overall, a pretty dark and brooding vibe, but lots of good twists and turns and quite a few excellent action sequences.
