REVIEW – My obsession with mechanical keyboards has not ended yet and the latest one to land on my desk is the Redragon AZURE K652 wireless mechanical keyboard for Mac. I’m a MacBook user and I also like cool-looking mechanical keyboards, so it appears that this one should be perfect for me. But does it […]

REVIEW – Starting in March, I had to return to my office four days a week. I had gotten used to being at home, where it was nice and quiet. I knew I wanted to bring my earbuds into work to use them for Microsoft Teams meetings and provide entertainment during lunch. The problem with

REVIEW – Using a computer today often requires plugging in a large number of external devices – monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, storage, and so many other devices to plug in and use. With laptops and smaller form-factor computers having a limited number of connections it’s important to find a quality hub or docking station to

REVIEW – A few months ago I reviewed the original Vosteed Raccoon button lock which has become one of my favorite knives. There were, however, a few complaints on the interweb about being able to force the lock if you hit the spine hard enough. Vosteed listened and decided to make the Raccoon even tougher by
Vosteed Raccoon Cross-Bar Lock knife review – the perfect knife just got better Read More
REVIEW – Infrared cameras, or those that can “see” or image heat, are becoming more common and less expensive. The InfiRay Xinfrared T2S+ thermal camera is tiny and just pops into the USB-C port of your phone. When paired with the companion app, it lets you create thermal images of almost anything, as well as accurately
InfiRay Xinfrared T2S+ thermal camera review – ever wanted to see heat? Read More
REVIEW – I remember buying two dim red LEDs at Radio Shack as a young lad and I’ve loved them since. I have converted all of the lights and almost all of my flashlights to these luminescent wonders. I was thrilled to have a look at LuminTop’s GT3 Pro flashlight that’s capable of producing a
LuminTop GT3 Pro 27,000 Lumen Flashlight review – Turns night into day! Whoa! Read More
REVIEW – I have always been a hot sleeper. It isn’t uncommon for me to wake up soaked in sweat even in the winter. Unfortunately, I’m also one of those people who can’t sleep without a blanket. This brings on the classic conundrum of finding a blanket that I can use that won’t turn my

VIDEO REVIEW – Last year I purchased a replica of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade grail diary from a link on Facebook. The book was a dud in more ways than one, so I wrote a review and also posted a flip through video of it on YouTube. Mark of Ramseyprops saw my

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few 3D printers so far at The Gadgeteer, but many of the items I print take all day (or even multiple days for things like full-sized helmets). What can I say, I like big … things. But what if you could speed a 3D printer up to five times

REVIEW – As a child of the 70s, my sister and I would pour over the Sears and JCPenney Christmas catalogs each year. I can remember wanting a rock tumbler for several years and unfortunately, Santa never brought me one… So when I was offered the Stonecho 3LB Rock Tumbler for review, I said heck
Stonecho 3LB Rock Tumbler review – turn rocks into “gems” if you have patience Read More
REVIEW – A while back I reviewed a laser engraver and while the hardware was great, the software let it down. The Sculpfun S30 Pro is another story, even though it has no software at all. How can that be? Keep reading to find out What is it? The Sculpfun S30 Pro is a 10W

REVIEW – Once the stuff of George Orwell, video cameras are everywhere as crime deterrents, keeping an eye on kids or pets, and watching for package deliveries. Zosi’s C296 high-resolution camera packs a ton of features at an attractive price. Please join me for a closer look! What is it? Zosi’s C296 is a high-resolution,

REVIEW – If you’ve ever had to repeatedly plug in multiple monitors and desktop devices into a laptop that you’re frequently moving back and forth (to school, office, or even just other rooms in the house), you know what pain it can be to connect and disconnect everything every time. Docking stations alleviate that pain

REVIEW – I’ve got a kind of divisive review for this week, at least for frequent travelers: packing cubes. You see, you’re either a packing cube person or you’re not, I find. I have mixed feelings about them, but lately, I’ve seen packing cubes like the Cambond compression packing cubes all over the internet. They

REVIEW – There are quite a few uses for solar panels, especially portable ones. You could combine them with a power station to create a “solar generator” system that can power things while recharging during the day and then continue powering overnight. Or you can harness the power of the sun directly to power or
XTAR SP100 portable foldable solar panel review – when they say 100 watts they mean it Read More
REVIEW – Spring is finally springing here in Los Angeles and that means it’s finally dry enough to consider getting outside and doing some biking. I’m kind of picky about my bikes, but the Heybike Ranger step-thru foldable fat tire ebike really piqued my curiosity. It’s got the utility of a commuter bike because it
REVIEW – I had a cheap rowing machine a few years ago that I really enjoyed – not so much for the product but just because I liked the workout. A few months into using it though, the elastic-based strap snapped while I was rowing, throwing me backward. It was unpleasant, to say the least.

REVIEW – Do you love receiving fresh flowers? Who doesn’t? Well, I am going to be honest, I typically do not. It is not that I don’t love them and love the thoughtfulness of them, I just can’t justify the price tag attached to purchasing them. Not to mention the fact they will be wilting
JMBricklayer Botanical Collection Butterfly Orchid review – flowers that never wilt! Read More
VIDEO REVIEW – We love pens and other stationery items around here so I was happy to accept the offer from Bastion to do a video review of their bolt-action pens. What is it? Bastion bolt-action pens are aluminum (also available in stainless steel) pens that feature a cool bolt-action mechanism. What’s in the box?

REVIEW – I reviewed the Yeti X microphone quite a while ago, and one of the hardest things was finding a cheap yet solid boom arm due to its weight. I stuck with one that mostly worked for the longest time, but when I saw that the TONOR T90 RGB adjustable boom arm was reasonably
