    Not cheap, but works great with PSU included

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    it is built with good materials, it feels "solid". Its power supply is good (see my thoughts on using a Raspberry Pi below). It has ports both on the front (5) and the back (2) so you can bundle it in some sort of enclosure if you are doing a DIY ...
    Cons:
    It's not very cheap; if that is really a con. You can get cheaper ones, probably not at this quality. It could be usb 3.0... I...

    Pretty bright

    posted by hbadenes on 10/26/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    They are relatively bright. I replaced some malfunctioning leds from a headlight by these; it was a 5 minutes soldering task and the flashlight is MUCH better now, I ended up replacing all of them. Other than that, they are 'just' leds. Put some 4.5-5V, an...
    Cons:
    I do not think this is the cheapest price, but if you are a DX customer, it is really easy to get them and you will be tempted ...

    Good build quality, and just works.

    posted by hbadenes on 06/27/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Build quality is very good. Does not feel like it is going to fail. The Displayport end has a lock, so it has to press a small button to release it from your computer port. It is just an adapter if you already own a HDMI cable, so the cable is short (15cm?...
    Cons:
    The only one I can find is the price, which is not cheap. But cheaper cables/adapters did not seem to have this build quality o...

    Good and very cheap

    posted by hbadenes on 06/27/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Price is the most important pro! The foam pad is good. Not too soft nor too rigid. It is small, but your wrist will just sit comfortably there.
    Cons:
    The pad is not rigid. It is like 3mm of some foam, so it copies whatever defects from the surface below. It would be great if i...

    just good.

    posted by hbadenes on 11/05/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Build and assembly quality is good. It is also very cheap. Glasses and helmet fit on top of this without problems.
    Cons:
    I find it hard to keep it in place, it tends to fall. I think the lock on the back could be improved. Your friends will surely...

    Really fun and strong

    posted by hbadenes on 11/05/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Very strong. They don't break, as other flat RE magnets I bought. There are many curious shapes and things to discover by combining spheres -- something you cannot do with the classical, flat magnets. You may think 6mm is too small, but they are a really...
    Cons:
    The only one I can think of is that they are just 10.

    cheap, fun, great gift

    posted by hbadenes on 11/05/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Very nice packaging. Excellent for a gift. They just work. Very compact and light, so they use very little power. The car charges from the remote, in about a minute - it has a built in battery. The two AA batteries for the remote (not included) last very...
    Cons:
    Being so light, the least amount of dust start blocking wheels or direction. I had to open the cars a couple of times to clean ...

    Very qute and high quality

    posted by hbadenes on 07/23/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    They are truly cute. I ordered the white with black spots version, and it combines perfectly with almost anything. They look really nice holding the curtains. The quality is surprisingly high as well. And since this is not a toy, no moveable parts, etc., i...
    Cons:
    I found none!

    Will not use it

    posted by hbadenes on 07/23/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It is very cheap. That's pretty much all you can say in favor of this. It comes with a carrying pouch and cleaning pad that look better than the glasses themselves. I am using the box for my other pair of (more decent) glasses.
    Cons:
    Everything is plastic. The ear mounts are ugly plastic. This supposed-to-be resin feels like just a semi-transparent plastic....
