Creaky L1 Button

Reviewed by Jozi Pete on Dec 09, 2018

I was super excited to get this controller and it seemed so solid when it arrived. Sadly, the L1 button is creaking like crazy and it seems like the R1 button will go the same way.

The above is after only 7 months of occasional use. Directly compared to Xbox and PS3/4 controllers, this is sub par and this is the first controller where this has happened.

On the positive side, the battery life is great and I’ve recharged only a handful of times in the 7 months of ownership.

RGB issue

Reviewed by Charl V on Dec 07, 2018

The RGB lights remains on, regardless of the bios/windows settings and even when the PC is switched off. Latest firmware as well. Must be a bug with the firmware as gigabyte support couldnt help me either.

Will be returning this motherboard after the festive season

One Smartwatch to rule them all!

Jokes lol!

I love this piece of tech and as my first wearable I am not disappointed. Great battery life as compared to the competition, with a gorgeous watch face design. Feels and looks like a wristwatch but just turn the bezel and you've unlocked a whole world of possibilities.

I'm also very happy with Raru's shipping of the product.

Not the best battery pack for Xbox One

Reviewed by Davin W on Dec 06, 2018

The quality of the packaging and cables seem good but unfortunately there's some problems. The pictures show that the batteries has 3 clips however the actual batteries only have 1 clip which is a little annoying. The charging indicator light always stays green so there is no way to tell if the battery is fully charged. Due to the pack being third party the battery level will in most cases also be incorrectly detected by the controller

Good, not pricey

Reviewed by Davyd M on Dec 05, 2018

This wrist rest works well and is comfy. It doesn't slip on the desktop either. Just be aware that this is the shorter one -- there is another which is the width of a standard keyboard (including numpad), where this is enough to provide support in front of the main layout and arrow keys, which may be enough -- just be aware of which one you're getting.

Don't buy this

Reviewed by Dylan C on Dec 04, 2018

This might seem like a good option for a cheap wired PC controller instead of paying R700 for an official Xbox one controller but believe me, rather save up and buy the real one. I had two of these controllers fail to connect to be recognised by Windows 10 and I had to go through the frustrating process of returning both items. Stay away from this, if you have to go cheap rather spend like R100 and you'll proper have a better experience than I did.

Reviewed by nicholassimon on Dec 01, 2018

So simple to setup and I couldn't believe how strong the grip is. If it is stuck on the dashboard your phone is not going anywhere. The mount is also incredibly versatile meaning the arms allows you to position it exactly as you would like. Also very good price and good build quality.

Amazing budget mouse with one fatal design flaw

Reviewed by Riaan N on Nov 26, 2018

This mouse is amazing for its price. It works well, is comfortable and accurate. It feels sturdy and it's buttons are all very comfortable. However, the mouse wheel weathers quickly with heavy use, since it is made completely from rubber, which stretches over time to a point where the wheel gets stuck and do not rotate anymore. It can not be fixed and buying a new mouse is easier than replacing the wheel. I would still absolutely recommend this mouse to anyone on a budget and it gave me many months of satisfaction.

Great product. Much more than I expected. The dock is a bit plastic but the setup was easy.
The new way to trade is a bit of a bummer. The Pokeball Joycon work's so well and in my opinion better to use then the Joycon.
Got a tempered glass for incase but no scratches or dents.

Great for cooling and has ARGB

Reviewed by Ryansr on Nov 25, 2018

This cooler was a bit difficult to install but comes with all the necessary mounts and connectors for all supported Intel and AMD cpu types but I only use it for an lga1151 cpu. It also come with thermal paste that you can apply during installation and the instructions are quite clear. Since it's got RGB that's addressable, you need to ensure that your MB has the correct header for plugging in the port to link up the LED cables to the included RGB and fan controller. Very quite during operation and sufficient cooling for 8th Gen intel cpu. Definitely can recommend this after my installation.
