Panasonic RR-US320 IC Digital Voice Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This voice voice recorder is the best digital recorder I have ever bought. Previously, I have had a Sony ICD-B25 and A Olympus VN-180. The Panasonic RR-US320 has much better features, better sound quality, and has a USB hookup to your computer (which the other two do not have). This voice recorder is great also because it is small and thin, easy to use, and can store many messages in it. This product is great and I reccomend it to anyone who loves gvreat quality electronics at a low cost.

This compact, lightweight voice recorder offers up to 105 minutes of recording and includes everything needed to download files to a PC, including a USB terminal and cable and Voice Editor 2 software (with file saving and mail attachment). You can even listen without a headphone, through the unit's built-in speaker.
The unit uses high-quality ADPCM (Adaptive Differential PCM) recording and offers three recording modes: high quality, standard play, long play. Along with a jack for an external microphone (not included) there's a built-in high-sensitivity condenser microphone. The display shows both the recording condition and the remaining memory.
With four folders and 99 files per folder, you'll have all necessary organizational tools at your fingertips. A file lock keeps recordings private. Other handy features include timer recording and playback, file intro scan, and slow and fast playback. The unit measures 4.25 by 2 by 0.6 inches and weighs 1.6 ounces (without battery).

IOGEAR 2-Port USB DVI-D Cable KVM with Audio and Mic GCS932UB (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this KVM. Here are a few thoughts after using it for a few days:
REASON I BOUGHT THIS ONE: It had two USB 2.0 ports, and no PS2 ports. IOGear has had some great customer reviews for this, and other KVM products. I liked the fact that I plugged my own DVI cable into the switch to my monitor making cable length irrelevant. And finally, the one negative review I did see here was answered directly by an IOGEAR representative attempting to address the problem.
PACKAGING: Nice cardboard box, foam wrap around all internal components, manuals were in color and in plastic bags, the manual content is complete but concise in English.
QUALITY: Everything seems to be made of sturdy high quality components. The cables are thick, well insulated, and are generous length. You would only need to be concerned with cable length if your two machines are over 10 feet away from each other. There are plastic caps that cover the stereo cables if not in use and the cables themselves are color-coded. The cables plug into the switch ports firm and secure.
HOOK-UP: Couldn't be easier. There was no need to look at the manual, everything is intuitive enough. There is a mini stereo jack cable for your left/right speakers and then one for your microphone. I have a 4.1 surround setup and I don't have a need for a microphone. Well, good news for those like me... just use the microphone stereo port for your rear left/right and you will have full 4.1 surround through the KVM. This was a great surprise, and it works.
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: One problem I ran into was that my Logitech MX510 mouse has 5 additional buttons. When run through the KVM it only detects a standard three button scroll wheel mouse. I never really used these buttons anyway, but it required me to reconfigure the mouse driver to speed up the cursor movement again.
I hid the KVM switch behind my desk and only see the slim remote button. The bottom of the button has a no-slip rubber pad, so you can lay it on your desk flat and it won't really slide anywhere. The button itself is easy to find and press without having to look at it.
Everything else worked great right out of the box. Since this is a digital KVM switch, you don't have to worry about quality of the signal. Either the signal arrives or it doesn't. You get perfect clarity or nothing at all. In my case, it's perfect. There is absolutely no difference in display quality when compared to directly connected the computer to the display.
MY SPECS: Computer #1 is an older XP machine with a ATI 9800 graphics card. The other machine is an HP running 64-bit Windows 7 with a GeForce 260. The mouse is a Logitech MX510. The keyboard is an older Microsoft split ergonomic PS /2 keyboard. I used a USB adapter without any issues at all. I hooked up a PC Works FourPointSurround (with subwoofer) through the two mini-stereo ports. Like I mentioned earlier, you can use any equipment that uses two mini-stereo ports, it doesn't have to be a microphone.
FINAL THOUGHTS: I am completely satisfied and this product has met my expectations. My opinion of IOGear has increased a few notches. When looking for future hardware, I'll certainly give IOGear a favorable consideration.

Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse (931396-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little wireless USB mouse. Although it's featured as a mini, I have one each for my laptop AND desktop systems - one PC and one Mac - and it works great with both. Nice response, no delay, and the battery lasts for several months. I'm a huge fan of the scroll wheel; I really miss it when I have to use a non-scroll mouse. I highly recommend this one if you're looking for performance at a value price.

iHome iConnect Media Keyboard for Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this for Christmas and was initially so excited! I have a MacBook Pro, but really miss my PC number pad on the right side for spreadsheets AND I wanted a better place to dock my iPhone than a USB cord flopping around and my phone taking up desk space/getting buried under papers.
Nevertheless, I returned this. Here's why:
I loved just about everything about this keyboard EXCEPT the number key pad! The regular keys had a great feel - much like the MacBook Pro's keys. But the number keys are constructed *completely differently.* It is hard to tell from the picture, but they are thinner, and don't sit up as high as the other keys. There is no space between the keys like the letter keys, and (as a result??), they are EXTREMELY hard to press! For someone who types formally, but does a one-finger peck on a calculator/number pad, this was impossible! I would get four out of five digits, etc., pressing at a normal firmness relative to a standard keyboard key. What an ABSURD design flaw!!
That said, it looks so cool, the docking station is really ideal, and the function keys, etc., were going to be a real treat. So I gave it two stars for all the positives, but the number pad was a deal breaker.
Positives:
--Appearance
--Position/appearance/angle of iPhone/iPod docking station
--Main keyboard was a pleasure to use.
--Cool function/volume/etc. keys along the top.
Negatives:
--The number pad is unusable. Why on earth would they use a completely different key type/structure for the number pad than they did on the main keyboard? I like that is is separated, and the silver color is nice, but it DOESN'T WORK.
--The cover on the docking station is a little flimsy. It is easy to open, but unintuitive to close. As I wrangled with it, I feared I would break it. I would have had it open most of the time, so I didn't care much about this, but it is an issue.
--When you choose an insert for your particular iPod/iPhone, MAKE SURE you pick the right one, because I didn't, and it is very difficult with the angle of the sliding dock cover to remove the insert. Also, fwiiw, re. iPhone: I use the Digital Lifestyles Outfitters Jam Jacket with 3 Surface Shields for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black) on my 3GS, and with it on, the phone only docked with NO insert. So check this with your particular cover before you install an insert, needless to say.
--The USB cord (for this price, I'd expect wireless).

Adesso Mini Black PS/2 Keyboard with Glidepoint Touchpad (ACK-540) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With standard 19" rackmounted slide out shelves there just isn't enough space for a full size keyboard and mouse side by side. I have installed several of these Adesso mini keyboard/touchpad units without problem. No drivers are required for the touchpad and users like them. I would recommend these to anyone with similar space issues.

Adesso 2.4 GHZ WIRELESS SLIMTOUCH TOUCHPAD MINI KEYBOARD SILVER W/BLACK KEYS ( WKB-4000US ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit will deliver silky smooth operation consistently if you follow these tips.
1. Don't forget to hit a key twice (recommend SHIFT) to wake it up.
2. If you are dropping keys or have choppy mouse movements:
A. Try swapping with known good batteries.
B. Reposition the USB adapter. I got much better range by using an USB extension cable to relocate the adapter. Just moving the adapter six inches away from the computer case made all the difference. It eliminated keyboard dead zones.
C. Avoid wireless conflicts between the keyboard and wireless router by locking your router to a different wireless channel. Try channel 11. I found lower channels would conflict with the unit. Conflict issue is indicated by choppy mouse movements coinciding with wireless activity. Possibly wireless phones or microwaves could interfere too.
D. Switch wireless router's operating modes away from 802.11b. Try 802.11g-only or 802.11n-only if possible. I was able to more channels wireless router channels when I changed modes.
E. If shortcut keys ( Alt- ) aren't working, it's because num-lock is on. I prefer to set the BIOS to turn off num-lock when booting.
F. 802.11 wireless activity will interfere with operation. Look for ways to reduce 802.11 activity.
G. Best to have a clear line of sight between keyboard and USB adapter. A couch's back or a body can greatly weaken the signal.
3. If the unit is dead, you may have accidentally pushed the USB adapter's tiny "sw" button. It's used to pair with your keyboard. Re-pair by pushing sw again and pressing keyboard's FN key within 15 seconds.
Thanks to the myriad of reviews, product works exactly as expected. Yes, it works well with Vista without drivers. Yes, it makes a great HTPC wireless keyboard. Yes, it has a flimsy feel. Yes, its a bit too expensive and needs competition.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N Router. Excellent device. Recommended.

2.4GHz RF Wireless Keyboard with Smart Touchpad Mouse for MCE Media Center Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a purchase made two weeks ago now that I can't decide if I regret or not. The keyboard does work and works well a good range (10 feet room is not big enough to try farther) from the computer. The media keys work very well, the install was simple and efficient, and the touch pad calculator is bar none awesome.
However, not all the keys work consistently, I have a Logitech S 510 wireless desktop that I have had for two years and it never drops keys as far as I can tell. I do write quite a lot, thousands of pages a year not joking, so I am picky about my key board. I would never hold this item up to the same standard however dropping approximately one key in ten is not acceptable for typing more than a search into Google. There are days that the keyboard works better than others as well, which I just can't figure out.
I have no idea how fast it eats batteries, it still seems to work with the ones it came with two weeks later. Finding "home" on the key board is also rather difficult, for touch type'ers out there, as the razed points on the keys are rather weak all the keys feel the same. However in defense of this key board it is nice and compact feels sturdy and pushes keys together to make the whole contraption more ergonomic.
It also goes to sleep, wakes up with Esc key, which takes getting used to but might be saving batteries which I like.
Final verdict touch pad great, media buttons awesome, calculator key pad absolutely ingenious, and keyboard for "typing" sucks!
