REVIEW – I work from home as I’m sure many of you are. I sit through numerous Teams meetings each week and take cell phone calls constantly. I used to use a wired set of headphones with an add-on mic because it was what I had available and couldn’t wear a set of earbuds for […]

REVIEW – It’s hard keeping up with teenagers. It seems like every week, they’re into something new. Three of my four teenagers were getting into skateboarding and were harping on me to join them. Man, I’m 50 years old. I couldn’t ride a skateboard when I was their age, but I was determined to try.

REVIEW – I watch a lot of gadget review and repair videos on YouTube and always take notice of the tools they use. Because of this, I discovered iFixit tool kits and promptly bought their Manta driver and bit kit. It’s great. Then I noticed a trend with a battery-operated screwdriver called the Wowstick. It

REVIEW – I recently began a journey to build a custom keyboard. I had a list of requirements, a couple of known parts I wanted, and the drive to go a-huntin’ for parts. Luckily, I wasn’t locked into a specific case or PCB and I was willing to make some compromises. I went to several
REVIEW – It’s me again with another keyboard review. I can’t help myself. These things are like Pokemon. I gotta catch them all, and like Pokemon, there seem to be millions of them. This time it’s the Lofree Flow, a low-profile mechanical keyboard. I reviewed the Nuphy Air75 a while back, sent to me by

The Mission, should I choose to accept it. ARTICLE – With a budget of $300 dollars, I get to build a custom keyboard by sourcing the parts from various vendors and manufacturers.

REVIEW – I love coffee. I love good coffee in pretty much all forms. Hot, cold, iced, and even using the grounds as a rub on steaks is right up my alley. I like to make it myself when possible or find a good local coffee shop to enjoy. I avoid most chain coffee shops

REVIEW – We love our knives here at the Gadgeteer. Most of the time, when a knife comes up for review, several of us reviewers are chomping at the bit to get our hands on it. This time around I’m not sure if everyone else was asleep at the wheel or just didn’t know what

REVIEW – I really don’t like using standard webcams. When you’re in online meetings, everyone is always looking to the side or down, never directly at “you”. If you want to use a USB webcam for anything other than its intended purpose, you have to jerry-rig some contraption to hold it in place. With a
REVIEW – Three of my four kids have or had a Nintendo Switch and I’ve always been interested in playing one of them. For the longest time, they only had the regular included Joycons which were way too small for my big hands. Then a couple of them decided to buy the Nintendo Pro controllers
REVIEW – I love music. I listen to something every day, whether at my desk, in the car, in the kitchen, or even in the shower. The problem I have is when I’m grilling or working outside, I either have to use earbuds or a tiny little Bluetooth speaker I’ve had for years that just

REVIEW – How many times have you been out and about, whether for work or play, and your phone was about to die? I think we’ve all had that problem. I definitely do when I’m out on a job site, constantly talking on the phone, and keeping up with Teams chats, emails, and meetings. Now,

REVIEW – I love e-ink devices. Text is so easy to read. They use very little power for the most part. The tablets with handwritten note-taking abilities are my favorite. My favorite one up to this point has been the reMarkable 2, but I’m always on the lookout for the next best thing. One manufacturer,
REVIEW – I started a new job last November and now work for an employee-owned company. As such, I now own some of the fiscal responsibility for making the company profitable. So, I’ve been trying to find ways here and there where I can save money while traveling for business. I usually carry a suitcase,

REVIEW – Nerd alert! Ever since the original Raspberry Pi came out, I’ve gotten interested in ultra-small form factor PCs. The Raspberry Pi was fun for a while. It was only $35 and you could do a lot with it, but it definitely had its limitations. Not only would you have to build or buy

REVIEW – I listen to music every day. I mean every day. Most of the time I’m in my office listening on some nice desktop audio monitors. Sometimes I use some Audio Technica over-the-ear headphones or a set of earbuds. I have an old pair of Shure buds that I’ve had for over a decade

Here’s what I’ve got for you today. It’s the Womier S-K71 68% Tri-mode, gasket-mounted mechanical keyboard for about $100 bucks.
REVIEW – I love coffee! I take it black. I like cappuccinos, espressos, macchiatos, cold brew, and pretty much every other way you can get it. But, like everything else these days, coffee can get expensive especially if you go to the local coffee bar often to get your fix. So when the Wirsh 20
