Pros: * Small. * Fast. * Looks really nice :D * Works plug&play. * Good build quality for such a thin reader.
Cons: * I'm always afraid it breaks... even though it is pretty sturdy. * When using for the first time, you will be like "how the h*ll do I insert this into my USB port?!". But after a while, you will get used to it. * It is so small that it's easy to lose it :-P
Other Thoughts: Put it in your USB port upside down. Also, I have bought a few of these over the course of time. I have both received the horizontally printed version with a LED, and the vertically printed HiSpeedy version without led. Both work like a charm, and are definitely USB2.0. I didn't check with MicroSDHC cards, because I don't have those :-)

Pros: * Very sturdy, with only a little wiggly buttons. But of very good build quality. It seems to be aluminium, definitely NOT plastic. * Batteries are included, none of the batteries were DOA. * All pointers arrived in perfect state * VERY strong flashlight LED and laser pointer. I was really amazed by this, because it's a really small device. * The laser stays a perfect dot, no matter how long the range is. I actually pointed it at a house on the other side of the street (at night, that is) and it clearly showed up. * You can actually draw lines with this laser... If you move it over the wall really fast you can see a line forming. * At night, the flashlight could actually lit up my entire room.
Cons: * Packaging tends to open (it's some sort of blister pack, but one that you *should* be able to close again). Especially after opening to test, and closing it again. Not too big of a problem. * The buttons are a little wiggly, but they are good enough. * The batteries don't seem to last very long, but this didn't really surprise me after seeing the power of this laser and LED :-) * In daylight, when pointing the laser outdoors, it will only show up if you keep it still. If you move it too much, you will not be able to see the dot.
Other Thoughts: The sticker on it says <5mW, but I'm really not believing that. It's just a REALLY strong laser. Not enough to pop balloons/burn paper/burn matches though.
Bottomline: BUY IT! This is the best price/value you will ever get for a laser pointer. And the flashlight is a really good feature as well.

Pros: * They look very good, especially in combination with a silver DS Phat * They fit flush, and are really easy to pull out again * You get two of them, for a VERY low price! Here in the Netherlands you will pay about 8 euro (~11 dollars) for two of them.
Cons: * Plastic looks somewhat cheap, and has a little indentation on top, which was probably done for easy production * Not an original Nintendo stylus * Edges may be a little sharp, but not that big of a problem
Other Thoughts: It would have been nicer if the plastic was a bit better, and the tip would be a softer plastic. I don't expect it to really scratch my screen however, I used everything from ballpoints to wooden sticks to point on my screen, since I lost both of my original styluses.
Bottomline: Really good value for the price, a must-have for NDS Phat owners if they tend to lose things!
