"Pretty cool and unique ps4 controller."
"Steam does not seem to like it as Steam crashes out of the controller setup randomly."
"Casing on controller not flush when holding controller you can feel the indentation where the controller is put together versus the flush build on my brand new controller."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Allow the screen protector to "set" for 24 hours prior to playing the game in the dock for hours. Use the "dust removing strips" only to remove any dust that may get stuck to the Tempered Glass Screen Protector, NOT dust stuck to the Switch. Wear rubber gloves when you apply the screen to allow you to handle it properly without leaving fingerprints in unwanted places."
"Pro tip - I turned on the shower hot to steam up the room and installed this in the bathroom to avoid dust and it looks great!"
"This particular screen protector comes with more goodies than the official Nintendo switch one (almost all switch screen protectors come with two (2) screen protectors) It also appears to have a higher quality than the official Nintendo as well."
"I'm glad TechMatte included things like dust removers and the like, because it shows preparedness, but the product was so easy to apply, and apply perfectly, that I didn't need them."
"Do not try to re-position the protector once it's been adhered to the screen, you will never be able to get the bubbles out."
"Ordered the glass protector because we've all seen/heard the stories of how the dock scratches the screen. Touch screen is just as responsive as if there wasn't a protector."
"It makes interacting with the touch screen so much better since it has a nice smooth feel. If you're unhappy that the Switch screen is plastic, though it is understandable why Nintendo did that, this will fit perfectly and give your screen a nice premium feel to it, all while protecting your precious Switch screen!!"
"Can't beat this screen protector when it comes to price."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've used this controller to play the last 30 hours of Zelda BOTW. - Joycon controllers no longer need to be removed or reinstalled each time to play a game in docked mode when you can just pick up the Pro controller and start playing! I find that the PS4's dualshock controller's semi-separation of the d-pad's directional keys is superior (see comparison pic below). If you want to use headphones in the living room while playing in docked TV mode, your options are (1) get a really long 3.5mm audio cable for your wired headphones or (2) get a 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter along with bluetooth headphones. Again, PS4's dualshock controller gets it right on this mark as you can plug 3.5mm headphones into its 3.5mm jack."

Ignore all the bad reviews and try them for yourself, they sound good, comfortable, and if they break the company has some good customer service and are willing to try and resolve your issue (I tested this personally) even if you're out of warranty."
"I've been gaming all my life, and yet here I am as some twenty something and I have yet to purchase gaming headsets for a surround sound advantage to help immerse myself in games."
"These headphones make a great first impression with their stunning appearance and nice blue lights. These headphones give the clear sound needed for getting the slightest edge while gaming. The well-defined sound coupled with amazing isolation lets you hear in-game footsteps or objectives better than you ever could have with cheap earphones or speakers. The headphone’s comfort, fit, flexibility, durability is suitable for long gaming sessions. The mic will pick up your voice very well at any angle so you can clearly give instructions and objectives to your teammates. The only thing I found negative about these headphones were the fact you need both the USB and sound 3.5mm plug. The powerful sound drivers are spacious and can give you a nice punch that will make you feel like you are within the game itself. Along with the volume dial on the headphone cable, you also have a microphone mute near the same place."
"Ear fit is a little uncomfortable & you have to adjust sounds on the console to a high setting to hear for a theatre experience."
"We received the second headset yesterday and it works beautifully."
"He broke the mike off the first set twice."
"I gave these gaming headsets to both my grandsons for Christmas."

"It's got a few straps inside to keep the 3DS secure...which I don't use, and a spot for 3 games which grip them tight which is good unless you want your games on the floor when you open it, or sliding around in the case."
"I have exactly 3 games (minus what's loaded into the system currently) at the moment & I love how the flap inside prevents it from scratching the 3DS XL."
"The two wider straps fit nicely around the system keeping it from falling out accidentally if the case is open."
"1 game fit comfortably in each slot but you can fit 2 in each with some effort."

"Being able to bind buttons as shift functions increasing the amount of controls to the HOTAS, also allows the set up of different profiles. The twist can be locked closed, the throttle detached, the buttons completely reprogramed with non volatile memory, stick has adjustable tension. Throttle only recognizes forward with indent being 50%(fault of star citizen I presume or I may have missed something, but that game is a mess)."
"I'm a casual jet and helicopter pilot in Battlefield 3, and for such a player and at the price, this product an excellent solution. If you're playing Battlefield 3, there's a workaround that involves editing a game .txt file, and I suppose other applications will have similar solutions. Of note (I feel): while some people complain of the halfway stop in the throttle stick, I find myself not even noticing it. Caveat: Battlefield 3 isn't designed with pilots in mind (we're six players out of sixty four, generally), so applications with more attention paid to air maneuvers might be less forgiving of this budget joystick."
"This is a good entry level flight stick for combat flight sims. At first, I used it on the tightest setting, feeling that I use a lot of pressure to move the stick, but soon realized that the normal, non-tense setting had enough resistance to balance my inputs. There is no need for third party software to configure the bindings, though you may occasionally want to use the properties menu to calibrate the stick."

"When dealing with batteries, especially for older gaming consoles, typically these things have been sitting on a shelf somewhere for months or even YEARS with the chemicals inside dying little by little every day. As always, if you're going to use rechargeable batteries get a reputable, cheap brand, that you can easily afford to buy more of when they eventually die."

When I checked the tracking info it looked like it was in Texas in different cities for the first 5 days just getting dropped off at a different city every day until it finally came to the East Coast and then it changed hands from UPS to USPS which is a nightmare to begin with because USPS has the worst track record in my book with deliveries."

It fits snugly, it really feels comfortable and natural to grip in your hands, and while you wouldn't think you would use a stand, it really does make sense if you want to just set it down for a bit."
"Positives: The grip allows me to play the 3DS XL for more than 10 minutes without getting awful hand cramps. Just hold the grip a little higher than you would a regular controller and the L & R buttons are within reach. The only other grip that's currently available that holds extra games has a history of breaking easily."

"Assuming the transceiver is listed in 'Devices and Printers' (in Control Panel) but the controller isn't registering with the transceiver then the following method worked for me and the controller/gamepad is working perfectly now. Microsoft 'documentation' for this controller is pitiful or non-existent..they don't even tell you where the sync button is on the controller to effect the method listed below.....it's a small button on the very front of the controller."
"A endurance test will start tomorrow when they will be here for school break for the whole week, three youngsters and one xbox.. so I am sure the controller is going to get a work out. If I discover any thing more about the use of the controller after it has logged in some serious hours.."
"Had these before and was not disappointed by how they work with the PC and games. However, the description states the receiver is not included with this item."
"I'm running Win7 Bootcamp on a 2012 MacBook Pro, and the provided installation disk worked like a dream."
"The Xbox 360 gamepad layout was, in my opinion, the best controller ever designed."
"The replacement joysticks that they sell for these controller are not OE and aren't anywhere near the quality or precision of the original Microsoft controller so beware of joystick replacement parts even if they claim to be OEM!"

"The time it took to charge a completely dead 3DS to a full charge was roughly 4 hours, so it'll be convenient to just plug in overnight and have a full charge by morning!"
"This works great, shipped fast, and was affordable."
"I have gotten other brands which quit working after a couple of weeks, but this is the Nintendo brand and although it might cost more than the others it is more reliable and lasts longer ."
"Appears to be legit Nintendo brand but what do I know- I wouldn't care if it wasn't because it works."
"I've bought a few 3rd party chargers and while they did the job when I needed a quick fix, I always dealt with wires falling apart; haven't had that issues with Nintendo yet."
"Great charger."
"Its definitely been used before because of the smudges as well as lack of box.. Also if you look closely it doesn't match up with a real Nintendo charger even though it says Nintendo on it...It also isn't the standard 6 ft length."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This is the third PlayStation VR stand that I have tried after the POWER A Charge & Display Station for PlayStation VR - PlayStation 4 and IVSO PS VR Controller Charge Stand, Rapid AC PS4 VR Charge Display Stand with Charging Ports +LED indication for PlayStation VR and PS Move Motion Controller - Extra space for VR Headset & Helmet, and by far the best. Also unlike the IVSO stand but more like the Power A stand, this stand takes very little effort to assemble out of the box. Whereas the Power A stand can't hold it up properly at all, and the IVSO stand just has it balancing precariously on top, this stand actually cradles the headset properly, with no strain being placed on the elastic straps like what inevitably happens with the Power A stand. It also holds, while simultaneously charging, two DualShock 4 controllers and two PlayStation Move controllers, the same as many as the IVSO stand and one more DS4 than the Power A can hold. It also actually leaves special openings for the wrist straps to pass through, whereas the Power A stand doesn't yet you can get them in there anyway with some effort due to the compartments being fairly loose, and the IVSO stand can't hold the Move controllers while the wrist straps are attached at all. It holds the DualShock controllers about as well as the Power A holds its single DualShock controller, due primarily to depending on the USB port instead of using the standard dock charger on the bottom of the controller bringing it down a bit, which is balanced out by the controllers staying on the charging connector better while they sometimes tend to come off on the Power A (the controller kinda needs to sit perfectly straight); but better than the IVSO, especially since this one doesn't need those stupid dongles that the IVSO stand requires. Pros: + Holds a VR headset, 2 DS4 controllers, 2 Move controllers, and headphones."
"While I prefer the way the official Dualshock 4 charger works (where the controllers click in and the light bar shows the charging status) I don't mind this one since there's a light on the side to show charging status."
"If you are needing a vr show case that will charge 2 dualshock 4 controllers, 2 move controllers, holds the psvr helmet and holds your headset as well as charging them, you cannot go wrong and only for $34.99."
"This is a great stand for your vr headset and move controllers."
"The plastic isn't flimsy and when all of the gaming gear "plugged in", it won't tip over. The lights onto bottom of the unit are blue when the gear is fully charged, and red while the gear is charging."
"It simultaneously charges two move controllers and DS4 controllers in addition to my headset, and I have been very pleased with the product so far."

"no problems with quality however the design makes it a bit difficult to get them in and out."
"Perfect for holding my UMD's, cool layout and efficient for storage in small spaces!"
"Unlike other cases, this allows you to see each UMD label without removing any UMDs from the case. What I do whenever I get a new case is to push the snap clips at the bottom or sides out slightly so that the UMD snaps in and out easily without putting any stress on the UMD itself."

"Ive had to throw a lot of imitation cables away for micro usb (in less then a year of having them), but I dont mind as those are usually 50 cents."
"Shipped via snail mail, so it took a month between ordering and shipping before it finally arrived."
"it took about an hour to bring it back to life ( with a charge of just 5% ) every time and at the end it just gave up, it would not charge the vita with either with the brick charger, the ps3 or a regular phone usb wall charger. it works more that fine with my iPhone and droid wall charger and it brought my vita back to life in less than 5 minutes! Sony is starting to take more ownership on their product's accessories, like the vita charger and memory card."
"If you need a replacement USB cable for either computer or charger hookup for your original OLED Vita, this is what you need."
"I'm giving 5 stars but I would like to point out to other people that this cable will not charge the PS Vita via a wall USB block, or car charger."
"Still working, but somewhere along the lines, the wiring at the end that inserts into the vita latter worn out for me. In other words plugging the cord like normal doesn't charge unless you wiggle it around and/or position it so wiring and what not connects."
"The vita usb cables does as what it was purchased for, recharging the vita and having the simple ability to use on a computer, the Only problem is that when using this cable is that the Metal plating on the tip of the cable that enters from the Vita console comes Out of its Own Socket if Ripped apart from the vita while it is connected, I had thought that I had broken it or that it was the reason why it was cheap, and probably it is, but by Pushing in the metal Plating onto a desk or any flat surface, it Goes back to its original position and is able to be used to be connected to the vita again."
