Sokonomi

Pros:

Does not require proprietary software to run, no drivers, Just pop in the disk, install a simulator of choice (Reflex is my favorite), and go.

Cons:

The LED inside are pretty bright and blinking, so it can become a bit of a disco in a dark room. Ive rolled mine in a bit of isolation tape. It does eat batterypower on your remote, but that was to be expected.

Other Thoughts:

This thing is fun to use, especially if your transmitter doesnt have a trainer port, or has a trainerport in an inconvenient spot. It also reduces cable clutter.

Bottomline:

If you have a spare receiver laying around, why bother with a cumbersome wire. Get this thing instead! You wont regret.

Pros:

It flies well and long on a single charge, its slow and fun for semi large rooms. Outdoor and gym halls are even more fun.

Cons:

Mine came with the tail surface fallen off, but it was an easy fix. The transmitter seems to think the battery is dead pretty quick though. The bird tweets are only when you power on the transmitter, would have been fun if it would tweet when you turned or at random intervals or something.

Other Thoughts:

It comes in a nice box though due to shipping most of that gets mangled. Also dont expect to get this thing any sooner then 6 weeks after ordering. It took me twice to get this bird, the first time I canceled it because it took so long.

Bottomline:

Good cheap fun for when you want something in the slow lane. ;)

Pros:

Heats up quickly, charges nicely, light indicator and smooth stone like shape gives it a high end feel.

Cons:

Mine arrived pre-owned. The box seal was broken, the bag containing the wires was torn apart, and there are slight signs of wear. Does not even feel close to 40'c.

Other Thoughts:

I'm a bit disappointed in the condition my heater arrived. It is a bit scuffed and god knows where its been. I did not pay for a used product.

Bottomline:

Would definately not buy again, simply because of the fact this item was not in a new condition. Its a nice product, but there is no way of telling how worn the non removable battery already is.

Pros:

Very nice price, very nice preformance, very nice build quality. I used this device to give my microPC a quick readyboost bump and it worked out great. Transfer speeds are plenty. This reader will eat SDHC quite willingly. The included cover cap fits quite snugly and the loop hole looks solid enough to trust.

Cons:

Gets a little hot. Not disturbingly hot, but on some machines it could cause an issue by overheating nearby components.

Other Thoughts:

I love this reader. Its space and weight efficient and does what its supposed to do.

Bottomline:

Do something usefull with the 2gb microSD cards you have floating around in your drawer! This is a perfect readyboost tool for slow computers.

Pros:

The price on this device is unreal. I cant believe it works so well for what it cost me. It fits snugly and barely sticks out.

Cons:

The included disk contains an old version of blue soleil. It works but it has issues. I had to aquire an updated version somewhere else before it would work properly. Its light is a bit bright too, but I sprayed the plastic black, so now its just a dull glow.

Other Thoughts:

If you need bluetooth somewhere, stick in one of these if youre prepared to hunt down the software needed first.

Bottomline:

Good deal dispite its flaws!

Pros:

It feels tonka tough, im confident you could leave it out on the road all day and it would still work. Unlike most, the actual chain is well built too. It feels heavy and very high quality, so it made a really nice gift. Its fast enough for most purposes, capacity is as advertised.

Cons:

2gb is considered small nowadays I suppose?

Other Thoughts:

Its solid metal, no nickel coating or something like that. It allowed me to engrave it quite beautifully.

Bottomline:

If you need a nice place to store documents and be absolutely sure you dont lose em by it getting caught or crushed somewhere, this tank of a drive is the right choice for you.

Pros:

It comes in a very atractive package, and everything is included. On my windows 7 installation, this device was driverless. It paired up and just worked, no nonsence.

Cons:

The included headsets are a bit cheap and low volume, but I was already expecting that.
The wallsocket charger it comes with is a US prong one, and no prong adapter is included. Some might find this a problem, but the USB cable works fine for most.

Other Thoughts:

It registers with 2 services, microphone headset and high def audio device. Make sure you select the right one, or youll end up with phone quality audio on your music because its using one channel for its microphone!

Bottomline:

It charged in 2 hours and lasted me all day listening to music on my PC. What more do you need? ;)

Pros:

Its one solid shielded cable for most of its length, which makes it less suceptible to magnetic disturbance then the leading popular cable on DX. Plugs fit snug, everything feels nice and solidly built. It even comes in a nice cardboard package for those who wish to resell them.

Cons:

None at all. Im loving this cable.

Other Thoughts:

The other cable I tried from DX, which I thought was best because it had more reviews, broke within a month, it somehow managed to loosen the contacts because I had to jiggle it to make it work right. This cable feels much more solid, so dont just follow the herd, its not always the best choice. ;)

Bottomline:

Need one, buy one. Thats as simple as it gets.

Pros:

Its prety fast by my standards, it can read at 15.5mb per second, and write at 30mb per second. It also seems to be very compatible, because it worked on both my laptops and my desktop cardreaders. It conforms to the SD standard, and its lock toggle works like it should aswell.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Other Thoughts:

These little cards are great for jacking up the storage space on your devices. The speed also lends itself quite formidably for windows readyboost.

Bottomline:

Dont bother with other cards on deal extreme. This is the cheapest 16gb one, and its working well in every aspect.

Pros:

This card is quick to install, It already worked even before the OS started, so no drivers needed. Its fast and all ports can be used simultaniously. It recognised all my devices (keyboard, flashdrive, USB-HDD, mouse, printer) without delay. Transfer rate seems as fast as my onboard USB.

Cons:

The box was somewhat squished, but the card was undamaged. Thats all I can think of. ;)

Other Thoughts:

It works without a hitch, just plug it in and thats it.

Bottomline:

If you need some extra ports, this card is perfect for you.

Pros:

Its sturdy, plugs feel nice and thick, contacts are all goldplated, the nylon mantle protects it from even the most brutal of sharp edges, and it works perfectly with my 1.3 HDMI equipment. It even came in a pretty package with protective caps covering both plugs.

Cons:

none at all.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fantastic cable for hooking up an X360/ps3/DVDplayer/whathaveyou. A cable like this at any given local european shop would cost you 5 times asmuch easily. Id have paid 20 bucks for this and still be pleased.

Bottomline:

DX delivers again. Great product, low price.

Pros:

It works quite well, the locking mechanism works just like my other two retractable cables. Its an ordinary USB to mini USB 2.0 cable that worked on both my gamepad and my canon camera, so for this price im a very satisfied customer.

Cons:

The rollup mechanism is slightly bigger and its pull mechanism is slightly grittier then what im used to, but it does its job equally well regardless of that.
Mine did not come with the packaging shown on the picture, infact it didnt have any packaging at all, but for this price, really who cares.
Its plenty short, just about an arms length, so it might not be perfect for everything. Works fine on my notebook though.

Other Thoughts:

This is a simple USB>Mini USB 2.0 cable, not really a fancy data sync cable or whatever DX is calling it. ;) If you need to get rid of a messy cableclutter, this would be a good start.

Bottomline:

Need a USB cable that slips in your bag without knotting? This is the one for you.

Pros:

Easy to use, charger is automatic. Has a VERY good lux rating. My previous cameras had issues picking up the light from my IR flashlight. This one however make everything perfectly visible in IR light.
The neatly tucked away battery makes this camera easy to mount. The included mount is very durable and easy to install too.

Cons:

The sound part isnt coming through very clearly for me atleast. The parts that are supposed to be silent, are buzzy. It does let sound through whenever it picks it up though.

Other Thoughts:

Its a nice cam for survailance if you dont need sound.

Bottomline:

Cheap and neat. Great for temporary surveilance purposes.

Pros:

- Comfortable, grips nicely and has rubber buttons.
- Sets up relatively easy considering the one word LCD screen used to browse the menus.
- Picks up learning quite well, and offers several nice ways to get it programmed to your equipment.
- ENGLISH manual!

Cons:

- Takes 3 batteries, where most batteries are packed per 2 or 4.
- Not ALL buttons are programmable.

Other Thoughts:

Offers a great deal of flexability, and for me personally it has eliminated 4 origional remotes.
It was quite a big deal bigger then I origionally expected, but it does not cause issues.
The remote can select the appliance code in 3 ways. a: manually feeding it a code from the back of the manual. b: pageflipping through the codenumbers untill the appliance you want is turned off. c: Letting it automaticly move through the code where you press select when the appliance turns off.
It has quite a few nice hidden features aswell, like a button that cycles a list of your favorite TV channels, and ability to link volume of different devices to one button.

Bottomline:

Its worth the money. If you have a buncha devices with a buncha remotes, this will clean up the clutter.

Pros:

It works like it should, quick and easy.
Solidly build and looks decent.
Mine came with fresh batteries.

Cons:

DX says it might be shipped in a purple frame, personally I think its leaning a bit much towards pink (blue and pink, boy and girl version, get it?) Im not too fond of the color so I wont be hanging it on my bag, but it ll do the job none the less. ;)

Other Thoughts:

Be warned, If they say it MIGHT be purple (pink), you can prettymuch expect it to be.
Its one step short of a PDA. It will detect ALL networks, encrypted and open alike. Strength indicator is pretty accurate.

Bottomline:

Cheap and handy little tool.
Get it if you dont mind to gamble on the color.

Pros:

Fits my samsung Q310 ever so snugly.
(38 x 322 x 241mm - 1.5 x 12.7 x 9.5")
Zippers lock and theres no white text printed on mine.

Cons:

The white tubing around the edges is broken in ceveral places, its a hard and brittle kind of plastic. Im considdering cutting it off with an exacto knife because it looks crappy. Theres some flimzy stitching in there too, but not too noticable.

Other Thoughts:

Well it works and its not too expencive. Quality overall is a bit crap though.

Bottomline:

I woulnd buy another one.
Save up for something else is what id say.

Pros:

The cable can be adjusted to any length, wich is great when you dont need much length and hate the usuall cableclutter. Dont let the pictures fool you though, the retractor allows up to 70cm (2.3ft) of cable, simply by pulling it to the length you wish and letting go. Retracting is easy too, give it a slight tug and it rolls up automaticly.
Another great feature is the nobbly sides, wich allow for a comfortable grip.
Its reasonably accurate and, for me atleast, suitable for a little gaming.

Cons:

Clamshell packaging came undone during shipping, but no damage at all, not really a product con actually.
Ive marked ease of use rating down a notch, but I already expected it to be. Its a smaller then should be mouse. You have to sacrifice one to get the other (space/weight reduction).

Other Thoughts:

The blue rear fender turns red when the mouse is plugged in! Scrollwheel also lights up red.
Try not to hook your fingers in order to fill the palm of your hand with the "hump" of the mouse, or youll get a claw hand (nasty cramp), just rest your fingers ontop of the grooved buttons and youll be mousing around semicomfortable. ;)

Bottomline:

Id definately reccomend this mouse if youre looking to complete your notebook/laptop essentials.
Its cheap and good, simple as that. ;)

Pros:

Its got waterproof lights and tons of cool settings to use, plus its very cheap and mine got shipped fairly fast too. I bought two and decorated my portch with them. Looks very christmassy. ^_^

Cons:

The box isnt waterproof, but thats easily solved with a balloon. As mentionned by others the powercord is a bit short, so when laying out the lights, start with the cord end or you might be in trouble by the time you reach it. :') Packaging is a bit cheesy, as the whole thing is cluttered into a ball and put in a plastic baggy. Good thing these arnt fragile glass bulbs. ;)

Other Thoughts:

Its a nice addition to your home during the holiday seasons. Its cheap and durable, so why not grab a few.

Bottomline:

Cheap, goodlooking, plenty of features.
Buy some!

Pros:

This car is an absolute riot! Has beepy steering, its plenty fast for its scale, and the unsuspected "booster" shoulderbutton is a total hoot. The bodywork decals and paintjob are sublime, something thats very rare on cheap toys like this. Batterytime on the car is pretty good. Even the display box it comes in is a pleasure to store it in, as these small things can quicky get lost.
The lights are even one directional. Headlights go off when youre backing up, taillights come on. Really cute to drive around with in a dimmed light room.
Noice isnt as horrid as I was expecting it to be from these small cars eighter (think windup toy).
Also, it turned out to be a little bigger then expected, but to positive effect!

Cons:

I would have designed it with a different antenna, kids easily break this telescope tin kind. Should have gone with a spring coil antenna.

Other Thoughts:

I was truely amazed at the quality I got for the measily price I had to pay for it. Im thinking of collecting the whole set now. ;)

Bottomline:

If you have a bored kid, or maybe youre an RC nut like me, and you have some spare money on paypal, grab one!

Pros:

It feels tough, painted faces are reasonably well done, and it seems like fun for the kids. The queeker thats in every duck was a suprise though, pleasant for the kid, not for me.

Cons:

Mine came in all squished and out of shape. I tried inflating it by blowing into the squeekerhole, but its still a little flattened. Bad shipping is the cause of that. The ducks came in a little fishnet.

Other Thoughts:

Cheap fun for a little surprise. I woulnd buy it again however. The duckies where too maimed, luckily the child didnt mind tomuch.

Bottomline:

Fun, but its cheap so expect it to be cheap.

Pros:

They come safely wrapped, work well and the capacity feels about right. No flimzy paper can cells, they work great in toys. If you ever buy something at Deal Extreme that requires batteries, this is the way to fix it.

Cons:

Again, cheap packaging but thats really not a con for me. Clamshells are adding to the total cost so not bothering with that gives you the cheapest way.

Other Thoughts:

If you buy something from deal extreme to be delivered to someone else and it needs batteries, this is the way to handle it.

Bottomline:

Grab some if your order needs it.

Pros:

It works the way youd expect it to work, fullblown 1080p runs flawless. The plugs are goldplated on both sides and fit quite snugly. Running a FullHD Home theatre PC on my 42" panasonic TV and it does the job flawlessly. No need to buy socalled "Monster" cables at 4 times the price. Its got a ferrite core on each end too, so theres minimal disturbance.

Cons:

Cheesy packaging, just a ziplock bag, but thats what I pay for! I dont want to pay for fancy clamshell packaging and a printed manual I dont need.

Other Thoughts:

If you need to hook up your PC to a HDMI capable source, this would be your best bang for a buck.

Bottomline:

Need it? Get it!

Pros:

Looks like a properly manufactured card, capacity is as advertised, and when using a good readerstation the speed is there, too.

Cons:

None that I can think of.

Other Thoughts:

Nice way to bump your PDA up to a multimedia tablet. Will also work well to make a VERY quiet and compact linux webserver.

Bottomline:

If you need some space and you have a CF slot free, go for this one. ;) 16Gb one is still a bit too expencive. Just buy a couple of these and some readers and you can easily create a mini server.
minimum words. minimum words. minimum words. minimum words. minimum words. minimum words.

Pros:

This remote is about the easiest PC remote ive ever seen. From the brown envelope to installed and using it, took around 3 to 5 minutes. ;) Plug it in, add batteries and it works. (Im using vista ultimate x64)

Cons:

The mouse seems to be a tad wonky, it will only move in steps, it wont move fluently. Each time it stops, you have to release the mouse pad and press it again to move it another step. Not a huge problem but still annoying.

Other Thoughts:

Perty cool little gadget for really cheap. Quality is good minus one little flaw that doesnt really ruin it.

Bottomline:

Cheap! Get rid of the keyboard/mouse on your TVPC and use one of these. ;) Its good enough.

Pros:

Works perty well, and gets rid of the annoying wire like its supposed to do. Nunchuk fits snugly into its cradle without popping out, and its not too heavy to whip and wiggle around. ;)
The wiimote part fits tightly using the notches in the base, and doesnt get in the way of your wriststrap.

Cons:

Doesnt last all that long even on proper 900mAh AAA batteries, possibly because it sometimes fails to recognise the shutdown command, making it stay on untill it runs dry.

Other Thoughts:

You can chuck away your sleeve if you want to use this. :P

Bottomline:

Cool gadget. Dont expect to buy the better nyko one anywhere, they got sued by nintendo, revoking all nunchuk shipments immediately.

Pros:

Its cheap and good for gadgetfreaks like me. :P It uses standard batteries so its easy to maintain. Displays the time quite brightly and distances of up to 10ft pose no problem at night. Its effective range is around 1~10ft. Tooclose and it blurrs in red, tofar and it faints tomuch to read.

Cons:

Like mentionned before, the time setting buttons are too easy to press. If the manufacturer would change it to pinnhole buttons, the review would have been a 4.5
The other 0.5 is lost by a mucky plastic lense that is impossible to reach and clean. There seems to be some dust inside the projection tube that probably reduces its brightness alot. Doesnt ruin it though.

Other Thoughts:

Its has some designflaws and with low price comes low quality. Even so, its a nice little trinket for when you need a 2nd timezone clock in your room but dont want to spend it on a whole other clock or some watch laying around.
Heres a tip for when you have some far off online friends. Get 3 of these and score the bulkrate discount, then label them with a timezone or friends name so you can see what time it is where your friends live. ;)

Bottomline:

Buy it if you think youll enjoy playing with it. ;)

Pros:

Its cheap and it works, thats all there is to say about these batteries really. I cant vouche for capacity but then again with 50 of em who cares.

Cons:

To continue on the pros, when theres 19 dodgy ones (below 1.3v), and 2 dead ones (0.03v), you DO care.
Packaging is a complete disaster, the plastic tray doesnt even clamp the cells in, they just rattle freely in a loose fitting indentation covered with a flimzy bit of cardboard and alot of tape. It ruinned almost half the shipment of batteries this way, DX has to find a better way to handle this..

Other Thoughts:

Well if you feel lucky, order some, but chances are your order wont even meet 60% quality satisfaction.

Bottomline:

Its cheap I guess, even if only half survives the trip.

Pros:

Very nice little memorycard, functions very well in my Wii, all games ive played sofar recognised the memory. Feels perty solid and doesnt require force to go into its slot.

Cons:

Its transluscent pink, and aplified by a red LED light in it. for me its a con, as it clashes with the clean white/blue look of the Wii. Its also got a switch on it to flip back and forth between 2 "partitions" I suppose. No idea why that is. I wish it would be just 1 big chunk of space.

Other Thoughts:

If you wanna be set for life on gamecube savespace, this is the card you need. No question about it.

Bottomline:

Love gamecube/wii? Chuck one of these in just for the heck of it.

Pros:

I got it working right out the box in under 15 minutes with all desired settings done. I find it to be a bit wonky at times, but it does its job as an accesspoint fairly well. I havent had a connection drop on me around the house as of yet.

Cons:

Gets a little hot, but not as redicilously hot as some people let you believe. ;) Its bigger then I thought, it sticks out a fair bit behind my computer.

Other Thoughts:

It does its job, and for its price its a perty good device. Installing wasnt much of a problem, though I think the driver/setting application could have been alot better. Ontop of that the application kinda gives me the feeling it got translated to english in a hurry.

Bottomline:

Its cheap, and it works, what are you waiting for? ;)

Pros:

Its got a good capacity, speedy enough aswell. The little writelock has saved me from accidentally deleting some files already. Fits well and is properly made. The blue color will also prevent it from being lost in the sea of junk some people have on thier desk. Not mine ofcourse. >_>

Cons:

Probably isnt genuine for this price.. But whatever. :') Its good and its fast. Maybe for some people its an issue that a card this cheap has no warranty. :')

Other Thoughts:

Cheap n dirty, does the job without paying out the nose for it.

Bottomline:

Need some memory quick and cheap? Here ya go. ;)
