It rocks if you drop it it still worlks

This piece of hardware is perfect for a medium size LAN party. Works incredibly well, and I had no problems setting it up. Rather than trying to hook up numerious hubs to routers and having to troubleshoot the connections and finding that faulty port, just plug directly into this baby. While it does require longer cat-5 cables, just make your own 100ft-ers, its the easiest thing to do. With the 16 port switch, you can plug directly into it, and then also connect your router if needed, and the occassional sattilite hub. Works great and makes those LAN parties a cinch.

In my opinion, Linksys has done it again. I purchaced the EF4124 for my company, after suffering a massive outage due to the master switch freezing up. After recieving the Linksys, I was amazed by how much you get for the money. Everything on this switch is auto-detected. If used with the right NIC, you can get this baby up to 200 MB/sec in full duplex mode. I also love how it will detect cable type, so you can use a crossover cable with it, as well as any variety of networked devices. It will detect them all. The form factor is also nice. It is small enough so it won't be in the way, but it is large enough for people with big fingers, myself included. If you are in the market for a new switch for your office, or to network your home, this switch is the cream of the crop.

The is a hot little item. I do not even have a gigabyte network and its already dowloading at 1.5 mb and more. I can download more programs at one time. Its like an overclocked network card.

I use this compact Wireless G bridge to connect my ReplayTV and two laptops in my home office to a Linksys Wireless G router (WRT54GS) in the living room. Installation was easy and it works beautifully, even when streaming video between my two ReplayTV units.

The Bridge itself is quite small: about 5" wide, 4" deep, and 1" tall--about half the size of my wireless router. The case is metal, not plastic, and seems built to last.

If you just need to add wireless connectivity to a single component, a wireless G adapter would be cheaper. But to network several co-located components (and leave USB and PC-card slots free), this Ethernet bridge offers a great alternative.

Although I haven't used the keyboard extensively, I know the key response is nice and crisp. It's definitely better than those lousy, spongy "QuietKey" keyboards that gave my carpal tunnels pain!

But the mouse is the thing, wherein we'll capture the conscience of the southpaw! Being a lefty, and one who used a right-handed optical mouse when they first came out, switching to the Logitech hand-neutral design of this mouse was a dream come true! It fits in either hand perfectly, with very comfortable contours for your thumb. Personally, I appreciate the sparse design - I don't need all those buttons all over the side of the mouse that I end up accidentally pressing. This is a basic two button mouse with an excellent scroll wheel. The optical tracking is very good on a bland mono-color mousepad.

If you're a lefty looking for wireless freedom and a simple, elegant mouse, look no further.

Now if they would just offer this EXACT package in BLUETOOTH!!!!!!!

I bought this keyboard because I wanted a wireless keyboard that wouldn't empty my pocket. At first I wasn't sure if the three Internet ready buttons would be all that useful because my computer wasn't connected to the Internet, but I was able to program them to open other programs that I used frequently. I found the range to be great it could reach about fifteen feet with my setup, which was more then enough. I enjoyed the freedom of not having a cord and having to worry about where I placed the CPU. I recommend this product to any one who wants a good wireless keyboard that won't break the bank.

After trying 10 different kinds and brands of mice, the Logitech First Mouse (2-button) is the ONLY one I like to use. It is ergonomically designed, comfortable for both right and left hand use, and lasts for years.

If the controller S is too small for your liking, and the original (the Duke) is too large and ungainly, try this one out. It is perfectly sized for the hands of a medium to large sized American male. Some might not like the fact that the analog sticks are a little bit loose, but I love it. The triggers are large and well sculpted, and there are grooves for your middle fingers that provide a tight and comfortable grip. This is the only contoller I use anymore. I have two extra still in the packaging so I'll never run out. Asthetically, it is the coolest looking Xbox controller as well.

The picture quality was good enough for my budget and requirements. Though the images appear more smooth and a lesser framer rate in megapixel resolution.

In moderate lighting; with not too much of sunlight, the performance is really impressive.
