much improved over the Mk1

this version is much improved over the Mk1.. far more intuitive layout and simplified workflow. Some compromises have been made (e.g. defaults to 4 hot-cue points instead of 8) but overall the changes make it a much better and simpler device for deck control

After using the keyboard for a little over two months, I absolutely love it. First off the keys feel solid, I mean really solid. The Cherry Brown keys that come with my keyboard are great feeling / sounding. This thing feels sturdy, the keyboard feels as if it would survive a hefty fall. I am comparing this keyboard to my old Corsair K70 RGB for reference. The K70 had Cherry Reds, which I found to be mushy and easy to press down. The RGB lighting and software works well enough, but I don't go crazy with any of the custom lighting configurations. The only flaw that I do find with this keyboard is that the keys are a little smaller than other keyboards I have used in the past. I am getting used to the smaller keys and have no qualms with using this keyboard as my daily driver, the keyboard is that good. The Roccat Ryos MK FX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard construction feels better than my Corsair K70, the Brown switches feel more tactile than my old Reds, and the RGB lighting is decent, even though I don't use it's full potential with the software.

Excellent! Far superior to the attachment that thee V1 comes with. This very quick to change cars and articulates to any position. The only negative I can think of is it can let the V1 move when I hit the mute.

The good news is that this controller is way better than a Wiimote in a plastic wheel.  It's honestly a great solution for driving games without the bulk, hassle, and cost of a full fledged wheel setup but better than the standard controller or the aforementioned Wiimote setup.  At first it was a tough transition from the standard controller at first, with oversteer being the biggest issue.  In time my times improved, mostly by avoiding the wild spells of oversteer turning into a complete loss of control.  As an added bonus, in Forza my corners used to score mostly 1s and 4s, where now I routinely get 2s and 3s (plus the 1s and 4s).  I'm guessing it's showing a greater deal of consistency, and I know passing and drifting is way easier.  Would a full wheel setup be better?  Definitely, but it would take way more room in my living room.  With this, I can throw it under the couch or whatnot.

The bad news?  Well that's baffling.  I understand the lack of analog sticks, as the wheel replicates most of that, but the wheel has no should buttons.  That's a huge loss for driving/racing games, as these buttons often are used for shifting.  Hell, even Microsoft's own Forza series uses it extensively for setup.  I couldn't even change the setup (to reduce the oversteer I mentioned above), as you need shoulder buttons to tab over.  Frankly I cannot fathom why Microsoft didn't find some place to put the buttons.  Even a crappy location is better than nothing.  The light up ends are gimmicky, and I'd rather have should buttons.  Other than that, ergonomics aren't great.  It's not a huge deal, but, it could be quite a bit better.  Do know that this wheel isn't compatible with rechargeable battery packs, the charge and play kit, or and voice chat capability.  Frankly it really doesn't seem like a 1st party effort.  It does work beautifully wirelessly however.

In the end, I really like the controller.  It didn't cost too much, and it's not another bulky peripheral.  If it had shoulder buttons, it would be a 5 star product.

I have been using this for over a month now. I have at 2010 JK on 33s,  skyjacker lift with control arms, steel bumpers and tire carrier with 5th wheel, and most importantly a Volant CAI. Before I installed this I got 10.4 MPG on 87. I now get 11.4 on 87. Prior to the install my Volant CAI would sound raspy at WOT. Now with the TBS it sounds like a new CAI. Noticed better response on the throttle and it got rid of the raspy noise at WOT. Volant should include this in the price I paid for the CAI but that can't be left for a different review.

Overall, I am pretty happy with gaining a gallon in this tank and fixing up the raspiness at WOT. Definitely worth the price. No real "power" gain, but you can feel an improvement on the highway with gearing.

Now to buy a chip and some new gears!

The struggle continues...

I used to own a mini and I was waiting for the next gen mini but instead they made Axe. Its still small and very to use and maintain very quiet if you don't crank it above 300fps and the ASA on and off flip is really helpful. Easy to maintain this marker since no tools needed to take out the bolt. Great grip design more comfy than mini, the trigger now is better than the old mini. In short this is an improvement of the mini invert.

When I first Played The 'Home' Version Of MK4, I Played The PSX Version. I Thought It Was Cool, And Would Outshine The N64 Version. Then When I Played The N64 Version, I Was Shocked! The Graphics Were ALOT Crisp And Better, The Sound Was Better, NO LOADING, Faster Game Speed, and More! The 3-D Fatalities Were More Improved Than PSX. Even The Control Was Easier! I Now Own The N64 Version Of Mortal Kombat 4, And I Play It Quite Often. I Recommened This For Any MK Fan Who Has N64!

I started with a Mark II version of this flash a while ago, and recently wanted to upgrade to using several flashes for off camera lighting effects. I bought two of these, and they work perfectly for my needs. I use them on my Sony A99 and my most common configuration is this: MK IV on the camera set to not fire itself, but just to control another, second MK IV on a stand with umbrella, and the MK II as an optical slave hair light. It's not TTL, which is a plus to me, and it has all the features I could ask for.

The only slightly annoying thing compared to the MK II is that the backlight on the display turns off shortly after you push the light button. On the MK II it stayed on indefinitely until you turned it off.

Much better grip on the thumbsticks from the new joysticks and the springs work like a champ.  I had to order this kid since when I was taking apart my controller I lost the old springs.  Good thing I lost the old springs, the L2 and R2 buttons feel a lot better compared to my other controller that wasn't opened internally.  Screwdriver fit, although I already have the tools for the job.  I would prefer no screwdrivers and more springs.

My car - a 2002 Miata LS. Easy installation - it will probably take about an hour unless you are anal (like me) about installation details. The new vs. the old location of the air temperature sensor resulted in excess wire for the sensor plus some clips that are no longer needed to attach the wire. I probably spent more time deciding what to do about that situation and then do it, than it took me to install everything else. K&N provides data supporting a 3.6 hp gain at around 6600 rpm. I can't say that it actually does much at normal driving rpm's but the added roar from the un-baffled intake when accelerating sure makes it feel like it does. And, the polished finish of the K&N intake really improves the look of things under the hood. I'm happy with the results.

She's pretty awesome! The fans don't stay on easily, but she's great otherwise. I wish they made MK2 or MK3 versions.

"Update:  after 23K km,  I feel the engine is now running more powerfully,  smoother and quieter than when the K&N filter was first installed.  I am not going to say online how fast my car is but suffice to say that the performance increase is similar to bumping up the engine another 100 or 200 cc.

Because  I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil, mechanically the engine is perfect, basically in the same condition 23K km ago and my engine is like new.  Fuel economy may be a tad better than with the stock paper air filter, but it is the engine improvement that makes this filter replacement well worth it." End of update

Installed this K&N air filter on my 2006 Mazda 3 GT 2.3 with 88K kilometers.

The reason I replaced the air filter was because I noticed my exhaust pipe was sooty and gas mileage seemed a bit lower than before.  Having used K&N air filters on my motorcycles, I decided to try them on my car.

First thing I noticed was an immediate but slight improvement in throttle response as hesitation was reduced.

After a tank of gas, the engine ran much smoother and throttle response surprisingly got much better, even better than when the car was new, if I remember correctly.  Engine was really smooth and quiet going through the gears and specially at highway speeds between 55 and 75 mph.

 Engine delivered instant power and acceleration when I stomp on the pedal, to overtake (at any speed).

I haven't noticed any improvement in fuel economy yet, perhaps because I am enjoying the newly found performance and now have to admit to a more enthusiastic driving style.

I am very happy I installed this K&N filter, It's $40 well spent.

From what I've experienced so far, this is definitely one of my favorite Mario Kart games. I daresay it bypasses even Mario Kart Wii--my previous favorite.

The art direction is gorgeous, the soundtrack is beautiful, the track designs are amazing., and the new items are a lot of fun.

Mario Kart 8 supports off-TV play, so you can play on only the Gamepad if you want to (as long as your Gamepad is within range of your Wii U; range varies depending on wall thickness, amount of obstructions, etc).

My one complaint is Battle Mode. Rather than giving you track "arenas" made specifically for Battle Mode (like the previous MK entries), MK8 has you battle on the same tracks that you race on, which isn't nearly as fun or exciting.

I got this keyboard to replace my old rubberdome G510. The difference is night and day. The new Romer-G switches really feel amazing. Just typing this review makes me happy.

Pros:
My typing speed has improved with this keyboard. It just works for me, but I can't really pinpoint how exactly. I suppose it's the sensitivity and the layout of the keys themselves. I tend to press keys very lightly, especially when I'm just mindlessly typing away. On my old G510, I've had many instances where I would type a letter but it wouldn't register because I pressed too lightly. I had the same problem with my wife's G710. As much as I liked how those Brown switches felt, it just doesn't work for me as well as these Romer-G switches. The volume and multimedia switches are a plus too.

The LEDs are very nicely lit, much more so than the crappy LEDs on my G510. Many options to play around in the software too. I've gotta give props to Logitech for such an easy to use software. I've used Corsair and Razor software before, but they just blow in terms of usability. Also, I'm sure this has been mentioned by others, but the LEDs light up much more "cleaner" than other mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches. None of that bleeding light in between the keys. So the G810 looks VERY clean and minimalistic.

As for the noise of the keys, they're pretty much the same as the G710's Brown switches. But obviously much more quieter than Reds or Blues.

Cons:
Missing wrist rest. Doesn't really matter to me personally since I don't use the wrist rest at all, but some people may find this an issue.

It's not as solid as Corsair's mechanical keyboards. With such a hefty price tag, you would think Logitech would put in some aluminum or something to make it a legit weapon when someone barges in during your gaming session... I'm just kidding... (no I'm not...) But don't get me wrong though. The G810 still feels very solid and heavy on it's own, just not to the degree of the K70. The matt finish is nice though so you won't have a million finger prints obviously showing when you murder someone with it...

Extra thoughts:
For some reason, my keyboard came with a Division code. I thought the bundle ended on April, but I'm not complaining. Free game. :)

I've been using this keyboard for a few months now and love it. I am still forced to use a normal keyboard a few hours per day, but I've been able to learn the Kinesis layout without losing the ability to type on normal keyboards. I definitely prefer the Kinesis now though because of the reduced motion required. Its also a great gaming keyboard because of the number of keys accessible to the left hand without moving.

The learning curve was maybe a week to get up to speed on normal typing, and a few weeks to get to acceptable speed when programming because of the substantial re-arrangement of symbols, cursor keys, and navigation keys. I feel that most of my programming speed will come back in the long term, and I really like having cursor keys accessible from the home row since many apps make use of them.

One thing that surprised me is that this keyboard is actually narrower than my old traditional keyboard, mostly due to the removal of the dedicated 10 key pad.

Every Mario Kart is a must buy, period. Of cours, after playing every single one, you can tell what parts are more polished than others in comparison. MK7 has great graphics, a nice comback of the coins system, and (from what I've heard) an amazing online gameplay. I do miss the mission mode from MKDS, but the game is quite solid, and being able to receive ghosts from the web is a nice touch.
Bottom line: if you enjoy racing games at least a little, buy it!

Firstly let me start by stating the controller is a bit pricey, but IMHO its worth it.

Functionality -  The controller works very well for navigating the K1, but also with playing games on with gamestream or moonlight.  I notice no lag and with every game I have tested thus far it maps seamlessly.  I have also used this with my remote PS4, and it worked again with no issues what so ever, I was fairly impressed.  The controller has several options that work in conjunction with your K1.  For instance there are volume controls on the controller, as well as a flat silver plate at the bottom of the controller that acts as a mouse.  If you decided to play a game from the play store you can map buttons from your controller to said game.  As an example I downloaded slither.io and mapped my left joy stick and a button for speed.  You do this by pressing and holding the start button which brings up the mapping options.

Feel - The controller feels great in my hands, though I have large hands, it is a little large as for my son but he quikly got used to it, and the overall weight is enough to let you know your holding a controller but not so bad that after several hours of play it bothers you.

Look - The controller has a sleek look, that speaks Nvidia.

Life - Nvidia advertises 40 hours of continuous play.  I cant speak to 40 hours but I can say that i have played it for 3 consecutive days without charge and the controller still said it was at full charge (4-8 hours each day).
