Editorial Review

Microsoft has replaced the old-fashioned mouse ball with the Wheel Mouse Optical, featuring an IntelliEye optical sensor to provide smooth and precise motion. Without a mouse ball, there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.Read more

Great Mouse For the price
As far as computer accessories go I have found that the term "you get what you pay for" applies a lot. I don't think you can find a better optical mouse for the price anywhere, I love this mouse I'm on my second one but only because I accidentally severed the cord! GREAT BUY!!!

apparently she did not notice it HAS a cord; it is NOT wireless:
(see: my kitty and I love this mouse!!, November 4, 2003.) No hard feelings; i have made the same mistake before in a posting. I have one. Works well/ ok. I do prefer logitech, though. The administration should feel free to delete this along with her posting, or modify hers by deleting her last line, as her description is physically incorrect.

Size and weight makes a difference for an optical mouse!
Actually, I bought this after my first optical mouse -- that I've had for about five years or so -- finally burned out.The lights do eventually quit on these things.

Good game pad
This game pad is comfy and works well. Do load and use the software that came with it. For some games it is unnecessary but others it will correct some powerfully annoying problems.
great gamepad, wish more games allowed for it
The gamepad is wonderful.It feels good in my hands, the analog sticks feel solid and work well, and the rumble feedback is just enough without being too much.I only wish I was able to use it on more games, but that isn't the gamepad's fault so I didn't take any stars off for it.

great for about 2 months
I bought this controller to use with Doom on my laptop.The configuration is excellent and installation was very easy.However, about 2 months later the left joystick acted up and moves me forward without even touching it.I reinstalled the software, recalibrated several times, and I still creep forward even when I'm not touching the joystick.It's impossible to get my character to stand still.I can adjust to this when I'm playing the actual game, but it's impossible to scroll through menus and such when the joystick is constantly moving "up".Anyway, I'm shopping for another controller later today... ...

Hands down the best mouse you can get for your laptop
This is a very high quality mouse and it's extremely portable.I've had this mouse for over two years without any problems.It's extremely accurate b/c of it's optical light, but it's main strong point is the fact that you can wrap the cord around the mouse for storage.Definitely one of the best investments I made for my Sony VAIO.

Accurate, but a little small (it *is* a Notebook mouse)
The best feature in this mouse is the way the cord winds around the base- pure genius.It works as it should, but try getting a mouse pad- I know they call it an all terrain sensor- But it's not.When used with a pad or on a white smooth surface, it works like a dream.
Best Notebook Mouse
You have to consider that wire mouse is better in all category compare to wireless just name apart. Wireless is freedom but battery takes it back. This mouse is perfect if you have USB port on right side of your laptop (if you are righty or left side for lefty) so short wire isn't a problem. Just love it the way USB wire get wrap around and takes no space in laptop bag. Performance is not mean less compare to my home MX1000 laser mouse. You can't ask for more at low price ($13)..enjoy ... Read more

what planet are we on
#1 Very little power. Hooked up to my ipod through the headphone jack with the volume maxed on both you can't make out much from across the room.
Great Product
I have read all the other reviews for this product and find them to be good.The only thing I did not see is the fact that you can split the connection to the system with a simple head phone splitter from radio shack.Don't worry if both audio inputs are on at the same time the thing won't blow up.
Great sound for the price!
I bought these speakers specifically to go with my IPod and to be used in my office.They work great.I also have a Bose SoundDock at home and I honestly have to tell you I think that the Creature II's sound 95% as good as the Bose at a fraction of the cost.I like them so much that I bought a second pair for our vacation home.The only draw back is that some people might not like the design.The Bose unit is cleaner and easier to just set on a shelf.I don't think that you will be disappointed if you buy Creature II's. ...

Freezes Computers
I tried the DWL-G122 USB adapter in two laptop computers - an IBM Thinkpad and a Sony Vio.In each computer, the adapter worked for about 5 minutes whenever I activated it and then caused the computer to freeze for about 20 seconds, then unfreeze for 5 seconds in a repeating cycle for as long as the adapter remained activated.I tried a Belkin wireless USB adapter in the same two computers and it worked flawlessly.I also noticed that during the 5 minutes the D-link unit worked in each computer, it its link speed was substantially lower than that of the Belkin unit.

worked but did not last long
This item actually works OK. WPA-PSK worked OK for me (with DI-624 router). The problem lies in the construction of this adapter. Mine broken after a few month of use. If you use it often on your laptop, the wires within the adapter can snap fairly quickly. I had to have mine soldered back on, but it is now broken again. I recommend that you either get a different one, or make sure using the USB dangle every time...
Drops connection
This USB adapter is wasting of money and time. Originally I wanted to upgrade my 11.b adapter to 11.g adapter, so i bought this one.It turned out a bad bad decision, the speed fluctuated so wildly, and drops connection several time an hour.And the distance betwen the adpter to the router is only 6 feet downstairs. ...

Crops pictures severely!
This unit is easy to use and makes great looking prints however as my wife found out after her first weekend trip with it, it crops off the top and bottom of the picture file.I bought her the package which included the Canon 520 camera and this printer.She printed out pictures of people and found the tops of heads cutoff.The reason is the proportions of the sensor on the camera are more square than4x6 so the printer just cuts off the top and bottom of the digital picture file.No warning in the manual, no way to print the full picture file on a 4x6 paper by leaving space at the ends.Nice work Canon!

Cheap, easy, small, nice photos!
This is a great printer for people who want something inexpensive and easy to use.You can be printing within 15 minutes after opening the box!The printer is small and lightweight and could be easily carried in a camera bag.Photos produced are very nice!

Great little printer
For the price I paid, $25, this is a great little printer.We've had tons of printers...my husband is a professional photographer and these prints satisfy even him (for our family pics).We got this printer mainly because I'm tired of our digital camera and the pics being buried in a photo program.I'd even yearned for a good old 35mm film camera until we got this little printer.It's

Great Keyboard!
I am very satisfied with this keyboard it's nice and it's got gentle keys.
Saitek
Only have had this keyboard for a shot time, It works very well at night, you can easily see the keys and they have a good feel to them. Unless you want to spend alot more money this gets my approval!

Worth it
Wasn't sure if the illumination would truly be visible at night. It is. Very helpful for those late night online rampages. The keyboard is very solid. For those of you that had a generic keyboard that slid all over, this one won't. Took just a little bit of time to get used to the slightly smaller keys than what I had. Think overall it is well worth the $.

Bugs in firmware
The minor problem is that the user manual claims the user ID is "admin". Well, it is not. Frustration and wasted time will occur until you somehow find out that the user ID should be left blank to log in.

I'm not returning this.
At first when I received this webcam I was a little disappointed. It seemed a bit blurry and I wasn't sure why. After adjusting the lens a little bit I could finally see everything clearly.
This is quite nice
The quality is good and conveniently fits laptops of various thichness screen sizes

It all depends on your computer and the parameters chosen
For those who blamed it for blurred or jumpy motion - make sure you have a high-end computer and a USB 2 port for this webcam. I used it on my T60 and it worked great: true 30fps, as clear as what you see in movies. The color quality has room for improvement, but for this price, I will not ask more. For lighting issues, fine tune all the parameters and usually after a few minutes of trying you can get good results under both incandescent or fluorescent lights. ... Read more

I was pleased with the item i purcahsed and the manner i recieved it. Item is working well

Not good for the Price
this is not good for the price.if you Have to have PC2700 (333MHz), i guess you can get this one because it is reliable.but if your motherboard supports DDR2 (533, 667, +) then don't get this.Higher speed ram is almost as cheap, and if want performance and quality, you'll be glad you have fast ram.if you are Building a PC, don't build with this.Make sure you get a motherboard and processor that work with better ram; your computer only runs as fast as it's slowest component.

Perfect
If you need a cheap PC controller to play systems on emulators like NES or SNES, then this is perfect. The buttons respond perfectly. The D-pad isn't perfect, but it's excellent. There's nothing wrong with this at all.
STUMBLE FINGERS
Tried RumblePad 2 this is for a gammer, which I'm not and it controlled less with my innocent games then the Precision Plug and Go. This is very easy to use ,it won't controll somethings (spacebar usage) or the arrow usage on somegames, but others it will.For the price..it works well..Where is there a game controller to work arrows AND spacebar in the innocent 'fun' games...all arrow and spacebar games???Oh well...some of something is better then nothing....

Cheap, solid, works well
Like many others here, I use this gamepad for emulators. I am pleasantly surprised by the compatibility - it works with every emulator I've tried it with (MAME, SNES9x, Nester, Gens, VColeco, Stella). There are no drivers to install if you own Windows XP - detection is flawless.

I'll save you some time...
I mainly bought this scanner because of reviews that mentioned being able to save things in PDF format. Well, it's easy once you figure it out--but that took me over 90 minutes!
Good purchase
The scanner does the job I need it to do.The pictures turn out nice.The only drawback is the software program to make pictures better is not that great.Otherwise, for the price, good purchase.

Pleased with product
Product was as advertised. Pretty quick on scanning and easy editing software to master. No problem on installation, either hardware or software. I had it up and running in about 10 minutes.

Simple, fine printer.
It is exactly what I expected in that, I wanted a printer with the simplest function and inexpensive.
You get what you pay for...
I bought this printer because I wanted high quality photo printing and I didn't need any of the bells and whistles that come with more expensive printers. It's a Canon, so I figured I could count on the photo quality. I was terribly disappointed though. I generally buy Staples brand photo paper for general photo printing, and it always worked fine with my Epson printer. But my first prints on this printer looked dull and muddy -- like I was looking at the images though a mild but annoying grey/brown haze. So I went out and bought Canon paper instead. The quality was somewhat improved, but still not what I had expected. So yes, I got a printer for under $30, but now to get even passably OK prints, I need to spend a fortune on Canon brand inks and paper. Not much of a bargain.

Great printer, but mine jammed and broke in 2 mos.
Awesome printer, awesome price.I'd give it 5 stars if it didn't jam and become unusable.If no one else had this problem, then maybe it's random and normal.The thing is, this printer was so cheap, it doesn't bother me too much.Oh, and it works great with Mac. ... Read more

the last great printer still available without "chips" on the ink
If you are one that wants to save lots of money and have a quality printer at the same time, this is the only model left at a reasonable price that allows one to easily swap ink with aftermarket ink. Take that to the bank as you buy this printer as a year from now these will be selling for $150-$200 on ebay.
Quality is good
I am pleased with the Canon Pixma, the only problem I have experienced (I am using it to do edible imaging on cakes) is that the pictures tend to come out a little on the red side, so I have to 'turn down' the redness in the printer box. I don't know if that would be true if I were using traditional photo paper or not. It's a good printer though. I am glad I bought it. All of the people I have done cakes for with it have been satisfied!!

Notebook Case
I just received this case today. I am very pleased that I will be able to carry even my largest books to school as well as my laptop. This case is huge! I did purchase a sleeve for my computer because it was not as padded as I would have liked, but I love the fact that I do not have to carry two bags to class anymore!

holds large laptop, but too complicated
I bought this for a 17" company-issued laptop; the over the shoulder bag was too much for one side.I like it - inexpensive and much nicer than the standard Dell bag.
Holds it all
Lots of space! Fits my 17 inch HP beautifully even after I put an extra 11 x 17 x 1 hunk of foam in it. I wanted just a little more protection. Took it on a business triprecently and it easily held the computer, cables, camera, 2 large books, extra hard drive, munchies and cell phone. Had room for more.

Great Little Printer
I have been very impressed by this printer for the price.It zips through pages and looksa lot better than the Brother and Samsung purchased by our office.I am using it on Mac OS 10.4.7 & 10.3.9, but installations at the office in 2 Dell XP Pro PCs went without a hitch.The noise level strikes me as pretty quiet, especially compared to the old HP LJs that I used to support.
Works great, even XP x64 support
I have had great experience with this printer.I even bought a jet direct card for it, and and it works great.I recently installed XP 64-bit only to find there were no drivers for this printer supported.However, I used the HP4L driver and it works good enough for my purposes.

Works for me...
...and I do mean it works. I'm planning to buy this printer for my home PC because I've been using this model daily at work for about 10 weeks. I print a high volume at work - approximately 1/2 a ream of paper every day over a 9-10 hour period. I use an entire toner cartridge about every 10 working days. The HP Laserjet 1022 has been a champ, printing mainly on standard printer stock, but also various Avery 8.5x11 label sheets - with multiple runs thru the printer, the occasional envelope, and some two-sided pages as well. The prints are uniformly crisp and clean until the toner begins to run out; by removing and shaking the cartridge, then re-inserting it, i've been able to get an extra day's printing out of each cartridge, roughly another 100-200 sheets. And it prints so fast!

Great Sound For A Great Price
For the price these speakers are unbeatable.They have great bass and great sound, Perfect for movies, games, and music.As long as you have the sound card able to support this system you will be satisfied.I have a laptop and with the adapter that comes in the box and a simple 6$ purchase from radio shack to connect my laptop to the adapter i could't be happier.
