Pros:

Almost identical to the original.
This is not just an look alike aftermarket controller it really does ooze quality.

Cons:

If you don't take into account the price and you really push me to fault it then all I can say is the analog sticks are a little stiffer and a little less sanative.

Other Thoughts:

If you do take into account the price then just get one. You will be very happy with your purchase.

Bottomline:

I play lots of games from FPS, platform to driving and it is only the driving games that I demand my original.

Pros:

Quality is perfect!
I'v looked and looked again and there is no fail.
I'v put in a Q5 and now have my best flood tool.
Quick list of the stuff I like.
1. Paint is tough (good still after hip drop)
2. Deep OP (onion peel) reflector is FANTISTIC! with shallow bezel makes for a great flood with the Q5
3. Solid rear clicky.
4. The threads are amazing, smooth and solid
5. Drilled hole for lanyard
6. It feels good to hold.

Cons:

1.Huge fail! It's not a good tail stand.
2.The method for installing a pill is a bit strange and can risk damage to your pill.

Other Thoughts:

If you "tune" torches you will love this

Bottomline:

I'm a torch freek and this is up there with my Fenix TK10

Pros:

The tital of UltraFire Protected 18650 3.7V 2400mAh Lithium Batteries looks to be a very close match.
And they work with all my 18650 torches.

Cons:

I dont trust any mAh rating from DX because they are always inflated.

Other Thoughts:

I'm a big fan of Max mAh to size. And these are not very good. But they do come in at good value.
Might combine the todger and vacuum soon.

Bottomline:

Sellecting the correct cells to go with different applications is a case of suck it and see.
For me this cell works as a low power requirement and not too demanding on the storage size.
Bottom not so great with the vacuum but todger is fantastic.

Pros:

This is perfect in every way barr one small glitch in the build quality.
Price - is a unbeatable.
Ease-of-use. You can fit this thing in the dark with snow gloves on.
Build Quality Rating. The strength of the substrait is spot on.
Usefulness Rating. Takes all my torches and fits all my bikes.

Cons:

The bolt needs a washer and you will need to find one yourself.

Other Thoughts:

I would put this on any bike of any standard.
And if you are a torch freek like me, then get three.

Bottomline:

Clamped this on close to my bell end, but I moved it about a bit and got a realy tight fit. And then it was just a case of directing the flood.

Pros:

Will fit on almost all MTB & Racing bikes. And will hold flashlights that carry CR123A/18650 size cells.
Apart from slack link between the two clamps the build quality is quite good. With almost all the components feeling very solid.

Cons:

The link between the two clamps needs some work.
I found my angle on my seatpost then superglued it. because it looks like a small self tapper holding it together.

Other Thoughts:

Handlebars dont realy suffer the poor linkage too much but there is a better and simpler mount for bars on DX.

Bottomline:

-

Pros:

First of all the looks and finish are great.
Its got a very solid feel to it and the threads are nice and tight.
But its realy all about the feel and shape. The two rubber rings make this realy easy to handle and the smooth contores make it comfortable.

Cons:

My LED blew!
But I had a R5 on order to Drop-in :-) and DX looked after me for the value of the R4.
It do still have a couple of gripes though and the threads are a little too stiff. Even after lubing they great/grind. But I guess they will bed-in.
And for me the assault crown was a little too sharp with a kind of a swarf feel.

Other Thoughts:

I wonder who came up with the design

Bottomline:

After smoothing in the threads and the assault crown And putting in a real R5 this has turned into one of my top torches.

Pros:

First off, Its a p60 drop-in. Cool standardized stuff.
On first inspection the build quality is solid and the OP (orange peel) reflector is very reflective. A lot of OP's are very smokey!
As for function, at 90 lumens it is very bright. And can work very well as a covert torch. I have used this for a rear cycle light in strobe flashing on the ground and runs for well over 1 hour (not tested to the limit yet) with a 2400mAh 18650. Also used it on a night walk in the woods and find the red beam to be less shocking on the eyes.
Must also point out the 5 mode is awesome. Dim is very dim. Mid dim (never used it), SOS is SOS (be it a little slow),Full power and Strobe Maximum usage.

Cons:

chrome on the OP is going to go off soon and the soldering is a bit schoolboy

Other Thoughts:

I'm looking for a defuser for better use as a cycle light and also would like to point out that in dim mode you can hunt out you porn mags in the bedroom without waking up your female.

Bottomline:

I like it....I like it alot!

Pros:

First of all these are a good size to replace a standard T10 and prduce a very good amount of clean white light.
The light also comes out from all angles so give of a good glow of light.

Cons:

They will fail if subjected to shock. So not recommended for use in a tailgate.
One set lasted only a week in my tailgate.

Other Thoughts:

There is a good amount of light from these but if you have the space and you like more light look at SKU 27818 and SKU 16097

Bottomline:

The quality looks good to last a long time and has the best flood I have found for the size.

Pros:

These are a perfect way of getting your white cream right were you need it and holding the tool is very pleasant.
I have only used the cream under low demands but it is showing no problems.

Cons:

No real cons but I would not use this with a powerful processor or a high end GFX card.

Other Thoughts:

10 pack is plenty for anyone.
;-) and I would have been happy with just 5 at this price.

Bottomline:

With a less demanding system I would use this stuff all day long but for all out performance silver paste has the edge

Pros:

First of all the information on the box is very clear and the light is packed with good instructions along with some spares.
As for the light itself, well it feels very solid and nice and weighty. Infact the whole operation has a very solid a positive feel to it.
I really like the "cigar ring", not just because it is a really cool way to handle the light but because its a very effective anti-roll device.
I think a lot of people will love the simple operation also. With the one click on and one click off. And a small twist of the head to adjust the brightness.
I have similar sized R2 equipped torch and this Fenix is giving off better light. I think the reason for that is the reflector in the Fenix if a very high polish and the glass is very clear.

Cons:

There really are no faults I can find but to make this the perfect torch for me there are four things I would have liked.
1. The assault crown could have been a little more aggressive
2. I would have liked the tail to balance.
3. The tail could have been a better fit (I did a bit of grinding to improve that).
4. Access to the LED is very difficult infact I gave up.

Other Thoughts:

The TK11 comes with the R2 LED but I really don't think it is any better than the Q5.
If I could have got to the LED I would have tested an R2 in there.
Also the fit between the tail with the body and the loose cigar rind/spacer does hold back a little bit of the quality feel.
But I that bothers you then grind a bit off like me (But don't grind past the cells).

Bottomline:

This is very simple, very solid and very dependable.
If you only want a bright light then there are plenty of Q5 and R2 torches out there at a much lower price. But if you use a light for work or any area you demand a good light source then you will be very happy with this.

Pros:

This will add a little extra buzz to some of your games and it is very easy to fit.
Also it is a very snug fit in the system giving it a real quality fit.
Im sure both the ladies and the men will get an extra thill out of this you.

Cons:

Any colour you like as long as you like black.
My system is red and it looks a bit pants..
If you have a black system then no con's

Other Thoughts:

My neck hurts more now that I play with my system against my pants.

Bottomline:

mmm Secret toy.
And its also a good idea for men to stop using the NDS just before getting off a bus. I almost took someones eye out!

Pros:

These are just amazing. I have had my stylus pack for less than a day and Im in love already.
The colours are just beautiful and they feel delighful in my hands.
I just feel so amazingly blessed now

Cons:

They didnt come into my life sooner. And Im sure my mates are justing after them.

Other Thoughts:

Im now going to upgrade my household insurance to cover these specificaly and I might even get a guard dog to protect them.

Bottomline:

If you feel there is somthing missing in your life whyt not fill the space with these beautiful little gems.

Pros:

These are quite well made and are very easy to fit and dont need any modifing.
I fitted my stick in about 10 miutes and it works fine.
The top of the stick feels course and that is better than the original for me but your old button will fit without modding.

Cons:

Opperation is not quite as smooth and and doesent feel quite as quick.
Also the top doesent fit on quite as solid as original.

Other Thoughts:

If your button is dead just buy one.

Bottomline:

I realy like the feel of this. Even though its not quite as good as original it is a good replacement.

Pros:

I have got a HORI on all my screens.
These protectors are the best you can get.
They are very clear, very strong and easy to fit.

Cons:

My pack came without the squeegie.

Other Thoughts:

I have use couless other screen protectors and these beat them hands down.
Other protectors are often too sticky or impossible to remove the bubbles.

Bottomline:

If there is a chance you will scratch a screen then stick one of these on. And now I need to fill out to 500 words so I so I might as well point out these wont cause your bell-end catch fire.

Pros:

Its cheap as chips and works fine.
It also runs silent and should be easy to keep clean.
And the pins are the right space for your Northbridge chip on the motherboard.

Cons:

The area that comes in contact with the chip will need smoothing. Also the plug is the wrong size.

Other Thoughts:

If you need to cool a graphics card then this is far too weak. But it is perfect for a motherboard chip.

Bottomline:

My fan blew on my motherboard and I took the fan out of this and replaced the dead one with the one out of this. But the design of this heatsink is work the bother of smoothing the contact area.

Pros:

It does a good job even after I modified it and it was very easy it fit thanks to all the required bit being included.
It is also very quiet.

Cons:

The area that contacts the chip is very rough and needed a little work to get smooth but if you look at the design and price you can understand the reason.
The fan runs a little too slow so the card does get warmer than with other fans.

Other Thoughts:

I have trimmed down some of the fins for it to fit in my system and it still manages to keep the card cool.

Bottomline:

The performance is not there for hardcore gaming so if you dont push your card hard all the time this is for you. I played COD4 and watch Debbie does Dallas and thinks started getting a little hot.

Pros:

Well this worked on both my TV sets (Samsung/LG) and that for me makes it fantastic bargain. Even if it only worked on one of the sets I would have been happy
It is also very easy to use with the one button setup

Cons:

The only thing to hold this back was I found that I had to remove the battery to reset the control before using on another TV set.

Other Thoughts:

This is not a replacment for your tv remote control because of how few fonctions it has but it is a very good backup.
And because it is so small, if you get a lob on you can blame it on the remote control in your pocket.

Bottomline:

Great value for money and simple to use. Im realy pleased I have one.

Pros:

This as a good strong beam with a nice flood. The colour is very white.
The finish on the case is fantastic and is very durable and feel realy great.
The way the head of the tourchflairs out make for a very comfortable hold when using it assault style.

Cons:

Could have done with a hole for a lanyard

Other Thoughts:

This as a good strong beam with a nice flood. The colour is very white.
The finish on the case is fantastic and is very durable and feel realy great.
The way the head of the tourchflairs out make for a very comfortable hold when using it assault style.

Bottomline:

The best value strong beam you will find.
CR123's work well in tourches and this one realy prooves it.

Pros:

Work a treat and is well put together. The build qulity is very high and is a perfect fit when replacing the original.

Cons:

Only two very slight downsides and the first is it is not quite as clear as the original, there just seems to be a little less light getting through but that could be down to the second point and that is the top layer of the screen is slightly thicker and makes the screen less sensitive.

Other Thoughts:

This screen has been in use for over two months and it looks like it is more durable than the original

Bottomline:

Good replacment if your screen is scratched and this new one will last longer.

Pros:

The price to just right and the power is there. I have used these in a torch and a camera. The camera just keeps going and going and the torch burns realy well with these. I do like the way the power just drops off when they are dead.

Cons:

Packed in fives, why?
If you only have equipment that uses 2 batterys then you will have one kicking around untill you buy another five

Bottomline:

I will be buying more.
I you buy some of these you buy in multiples of two you wont regret it unless you only need one.

Pros:

It works well and is quite quick. I have been using these in a NDS supercard with good results and not lost any data yet.
And you do get the full 4gig

Cons:

The speed is not as good as they say. Claims of 4x and even 6x "(in fact, manufacturer claims class 6)" as is stated.
I have benchmarked 2 of these and I have a class2 Kingston that works faster!

Other Thoughts:

I think I will stick to quality brands for important data.

Bottomline:

Even though the speed is slower than claimed my purchase is now a waste of money bucause it does work "quite" quick.

Pros:

This is a very good priced card for its size. I have done a speed test on the last cards I have had from here and they are very fast. Even at this low price ($5.14 now) you get an adapter.

Cons:

If I have to give cons thet are there is no packaging but I dont care and the adapter feel a bit cheap but it does the job.

Other Thoughts:

There have been cheaper cards out there and I have had them but unless you buy in bulk the price diffence is not big.

Bottomline:

I am going to be buying a lot more of these, that realy says it all!

Pros:

It cheap and works well. I have not found a ROM yet that wont work on it.
Also I'v had quite a few of these over the months and not had a bad one yet.
And a very good point is updates on the firmwear available.
one thing I like about this is the user interface is very well designed and looks cool.
P.S. It waso works with both NDS and NDSlite.

Cons:

Only a few little faults but no big deal.
First of there is no firmwear in the package. You have to go to www.ndstt.com to get it (but atleast you get the latest).
No instructions. You have to go on the wesite for them and they are not very clear.

Other Thoughts:

I have had lots of different cards but I highly reccomend this if you just want to play lots of games. It has lots of features that you will probably never bother with. If you want a card with lots of special features the SuperCard DS-One SKU 5097 is the daddy.

Bottomline:

This is a very good first card because its so simple, looks good and is very cheap.

Pros:

Easy as falling off a log.
Just stick your card in and pop this tool into your PC and job done.
Worked for me first time and is ging strong one month later.
And I quite like the build quality.
Also have to give credit to the overall design of the shape.

Cons:

You cant get the memory card out when fitted to a key hoop.

Other Thoughts:

You cant get the memory card out when fitted to a key hoop. This could be looked at as a good quality. And I do.

Bottomline:

If you can use this you cant go wrong.

Pros:

Fantastic amount of light for you money.
Run cool.
Low power consumption.
Very white with just a little blue hue
perfect 5W5 replacment

Cons:

If you dont know what a diode is or a Light Emiting Diode is then the +/- polarity might catch you out.
.
Also a little too bright for a rear numberplate.
Also these smaller leds dont like shocke i.e. tailgate aplications .

Other Thoughts:

SKU 13043 is the daddy for 5W5 fitment in my opinion

Bottomline:

This produces a huge amount of light and has a good spread.

Pros:

If you like a blue hue its a pro.
also low power low heat.
these have a light spread.

Cons:

Very big and I mean huge!
I have 9 LED's in the space if this 5 and they are far brighter SKU 5864
Also you will only be able to mount this buld using a docking method rather than mount then install.

Other Thoughts:

These are just too big for what they do.
These are just too big for what they do.
These are just too big for what they do.
These are just too big for what they do.
These are just too big for what they do.

Bottomline:

SKU 5864 is so much brighter and whiter in the same size unit, although the beam is narrower you still get a better spread.

Pros:

Brighter, whiter, lower power consuption and dont get hot like a standard bulb.

Cons:

Advetised without a standard bulb size code and my cars had three bulbs this shape but one of the cars took the "bulbs" with a bit of metal bending.

Other Thoughts:

I'm quite happy with these. They are in my car cabin and the light works well.

Bottomline:

Brighter, whiter, lower power consuption and dont get hot like a standard bulb.

I'm quite happy with these. They are in my car cabin and the light works well.

Pros:

If you have a e-cig that works well, and that would have to be the 11211, this should be a good buy. For the very short time my unit worked it was realy quite fun to use.

Cons:

Fact is you will be getting a 11211 and they are poor. All the reports are full of breakdowns and faulty units.

Other Thoughts:

Get a 11211 and test it. Make sure it is working and you can keep it working.
My 11211 had one totaly usless unit and the sercond died after one pack of ten cartridges (and they were a struggle).

Bottomline:

To be totaly honest I wish I had not bothered. My local chemist sells a brand name inhaler for $7.50 for 5 and they will last me (cutting down from 10 cigs) 10 days.

Pros:

This is big storage with a good price.
I have used this card for 2 weeks solid.
I have had 11 full size game back-ups in use and they have all worked.
and one 1.5 hr movie (avi scaled to screen size)and it played perfect

Cons:

Very slow. Some of my high paced games lagged and stage loading was only just on par with the umd speed.

Other Thoughts:

This card is NOT for fast gamers but is fantastic for movies, music and slower games.
There are smaller cards out there with faster speeds from good brands (other than sony)that are also quite cheap.

Bottomline:

If you need 8gb of storage on one card then get it because the cost of the card makes up for the speed.

Pros:

The best screen protector out of the last 10 used.
I couldnt beleave I got it on first time without a single bubble and it is very clear and strong.

Cons:

No instructions to help alignment.
Without clear instructions you will need two. One to practice with.

Other Thoughts:

There are many "protectors" out there.
You will want one like this that has a peel-off for adhearshon and a second peel-off for the visable screen.
Any one can fit this even with banna fingers

Bottomline:

You wont find a better product.
Infact Get 2-3 and show your mates.
I am realy pleased
