SanDisk for Wii 2GB SECURE DIGITAL (GAMING)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Computer Peripherals
from: Microsoft

December 22, 2006
What a waste of money. it does no more than the wii system memory itself. It's a scam, and a pointless piece of plastic. I bought it because I thought I could run games off it, but I was mistaken. It can only store the game data, not run them. I suppose it could be good if you have lots of high-quality photo pictures (but who does that anyway?), and storing the games as a back up copy could prove useful if your Wii breaks down, but I bought the Wii on release day, and it hasn't failed me since. The data size of the games are miniscule, so it won't save you any money or time putting them on the SD card. I had the problem of having too litlle memory left and my main memory "guzzler" were my Virtual Console games. Being an avid gamer, I have a ... Read More:

This is a great little camera! The picture quality is brilliant for 1.3mp's too. I mostly use mine to communicate with my gf who is currently studying away from home. Her student accommodation is a little dark and murky but the cam automatically compensates for this and provides a good clear picture...we both use the same cam btw! Also, The built-in microphone allows for communication to be transferred flawlessly with hardly any time-delay between speech and video movement. There's also a manual focus dial which can be altered by turning the disc around the lens, very simple to use indeed!

Also provided is lots of extra software features for you to explore and liven up the relatively dull chit chat normally experienced on live messenger! ... Read More:

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000 - Dark Grey

I've had this a couple of weeks now, and at first it felt a bit strange as the buttons are slightly further apart from normal MS optical mice that I use, but actually when I use it, I don't notice. It works very well and I would happily recommend it.

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 (OEM)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Computer Peripherals
from: Microsoft

September 20, 2007
I already owned a Microsoft optical notebook mouse 3000 wired. The size of notebook mice was a welcome change from a desktop mouse as there is less strain on the back my hand. Also, the acceleration curves are setup so that the mouse moves more quickly over the screen. On high resolution displays, this makes a big difference.

One issue with the 3000 was that the scroll wheel was too fluid. This is fine for scrolling down pages but it's not good for applications like FPS games where you often use the scroll wheel to change weapon. A smooth scroller means you often overshoot your selection. You do hear the clicks when you scroll with the 5000 but it's faint.

The 3000 also had a very stiff middle click - so much that I actually had to program ... Read More:

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 Standard Keyboard + Optical Mouse

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Computer Peripherals
from: Microsoft

June 02, 2005
I ordered this yesterday, and it's just been delivered - so, first of all, top marks to Amazon for efficiency and speedy delivery. I am impressed!
Second, it's clearly too soon to give a full review, but I just wanted to say how delighted I was with how easy it was to set up -- once the software was installed, it was literally a matter of "plug and play". Could not have been simpler.
The mouse has a wonderful feel, and is more sensitive than my wired mouse, which will take a bit of getting used to -- but not much, I suspect. The keyboard is responsive and extremely comfortable, with a place to rest your hands, which I like.
The one disappointment - I could not find any explanatory information on the array of buttons at the top of the keyboard, so I will ... Read More:

One of my friend in France had it and decided to buy me one for my bday so I received this webcam as a gift (August 07) - still perfectly working of course. Then my boyfriend tried it and decided to buy the same for him and one for his mum in Australia (Feb 08). Last week, I bought one for my parents (Nov 08). So yes, definitely we are fan! Really good value for money. The image is good quality, a microphone is incorporated. Easy to use.

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Computer Peripherals

September 05, 2005
I am a web designer and computer consultant and use a computer 7 days a week and often 10 hours a day. Not surprisingly, I suffer from RSI ;)

I have tried many weird and wonderful keyboards in an attempt to relieve the pain of typing. Manufacturers seem to have taken four different approaches:

1. The gentle: eg Logitech Wave Keyboard
2. The different: eg Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, black, USB
3. The extreme: eg Goldtouch - Keyboard - PS/2, USB - ergonomic - black - UK QWERTY
4. The bizarre and expensive: eg the Maltron keyboard @ £375 +++

I have tried each of the first three types, but could not afford to experiment with the last one (even though Maltron do offer a weekly hire service).

I found ... Read More:
