RK N80 Review 14

REVIEW – We get offered a lot of mechanical keyboards to review, and some are more interesting than others – the Royal Kludge N80 is one of those that got my attention.  Despite the brand name, this is anything but a kludge, and this board has a lot to offer.  The OLED display on this low-profile mechanical

Torras Ultimate Slim MiniMag wireless power bank review

Torras MS19 10

REVIEW – The MagSafe system from Apple is a technology that makes wireless charging easier by either holding the phone to the charger or holding the charger to the phone. The Torras Ultimate Slim MiniMag Wireless Power Bank leads the latter category with an overall thickness of only 0.3 inches. I have one to review;

Native Union Pocket Cable review – Is this your next EDC charging cable?

native union pocket cable 4

REVIEW – EDC items aren’t just flashlights, wallets, and knives. For techies on the go, EDC can be their phone, laptop, and all the necessary cables required to power and charge them. We all know how USB cables can become tangled in knots while traveling. Native Union Pocket Cable has designed a USB-C cable that

Casio fxCG500 17

REVIEW – While smartphones and tablets have many calculator app options, they cannot be used on exams administered by the College Board. The Casio fx-CG500 is the preeminent graphing calculator made by Casio that is College Board approved (without using the stylus). I have one to review; read on to see what I think! What

ENHULK Chainsaw 01 scaled e1719689188820

REVIEW – I just reviewed the AiDot ENHULK 58V 16” Carbon Fiber String Trimmer and was very impressed, so when the AiDot online store asked if I’d like to try the ENHULK 58V 16” Chainsaw, how could I say no? Let’s see if the AiDot ENHULK 58V 16” Chainsaw performs just as well. What is

MioFive DashCam 5

REVIEW – As we get ready to send co-reviewer Mason off to college three hours away, we thought it would be smart to send him with a dash cam for his commutes and his time on campus, just in case. While we’ve used dash cams before, this is the first time we’ve had one with

Lemokey X3 QMK/VIA Wired Mechanical Keyboard review

Lemokey X3 Keyboard 11

REVIEW – I have not reviewed many keyboards, but the few I have tested have made me a fan of Keychron keyboards. I recently reviewed the Keychron Q0 Max QMK Custom Number Pad and the Keychron Q10 Max (Alice Layout) mechanical keyboard. Since keyboards are not necessarily my favorite gear to review, I thought I was

Sony CRE C-10 Self-fitting OTC hearing aids review – Is this the answer I’ve been looking for?

sony cre c10 1

REVIEW – I have some hearing loss like a lot of people. I have to have the TV up pretty loud to actually hear what’s being said. In crowded situations, I have to concentrate on the person speaking in hopes of grabbing enough of what they’re saying to be able to hold a conversation. Most

aloha bars 1

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for snacks that satisfy both my sweet tooth and my nutritional needs. Enter ALOHA, a brand that’s been making waves (see what I did there?) in the plant-based protein market with their bars and powders. In a world where convenience often trumps nutrition, ALOHA offers an alternative to

logi combo touch6

REVIEW – It’s been around 10 years since I upgraded my iPad, so this year, I decided to bite the bullet and go for the M4 11″ iPad Pro. In the past, keyboard cases had connection issues and were terribly bulky, but the Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro advertises connecting automatically, just like my

Aura Walden 15″ WiFi-Connected Digital Photo Frame review – Free your digital photos

aura walden 12

REVIEW – Mobile phones have changed the communication landscape. For many, phones aren’t for talking anymore, they are just for texting and email. But there is one other thing that almost everyone does with a mobile phone – take photos. These photos sit in cell phone jail, resting, unseen, in the phone’s memory, and most

Bristol Cover copy

REVIEW – Wearing your prescription eyeglasses out on a sunny day may improve your vision, but it doesn’t provide adequate protection from the sun’s intense light. But the Bristol eyeglasses by GlassesShop help solve this problem by offering both functionality and style. What is it? The Bristol eyeglasses are lightweight round frames that come with

RelxTime Inflatable Hot Tub review – A great tub, with a low price, but a strange spelling!

RelxTime Hot Tub 5

REVIEW – My wife loves hot tubs.  Whenever we travel, a hot tub is the first filter on the Airbnb listing that she checks – it’s a “must-have.”  I’ve always been opposed to getting one at home due to the initial cost both for the tub, and also to have a new 220V line run

Mavik Raiker OTF pocket knife review – When you want to be John Wick but you’re on a budget

mavik raiker 1

REVIEW – When you think of action movies what do the heroes, anti-heroes, and villains all choose as their primary weapon of choice? Right, a gun, but what is their backup weapon? Yeah, you’re right. It’s probably another gun, but the weapon of last resort is usually a knife. And what kind of knife? Well,
