REVIEW: FLAGPOWER Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo $20

I work at night to edit videos for my Youtube channel. I needed a backlit keyboard and mouse to work in a dark room so I got a FLAGPOWER Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo ( https://amzn.to/3mSwZGo ) for about $20. Its a wired USB backlit full size keyboard with keys that “feel” like mechanical keys.

I like the full size keys and key travel. It also also me to sit further from my 17 inch MSI GE75 Gaming laptop (https://amzn.to/3elQQKD) that i use as a video editor. I connect it to my USB 3.0 Hub ( https://amzn.to/3uQb9q3 ) and typically use my Logitech Anywhere Wireless Mouse ( https://amzn.to/3dnljsh )The keyboard and mouse is good quality for the price point.

Its all plastic construction and lightweight, but for $20 its very comfortable to use. It has 3 color combinations, a breathing light mode, and dimmer for the lights.

The mouse has scroll wheel button, side page up and down buttons, and 6 colors switchable and continuously breathes. Again, its also comfortable and functional.

Overall this is worth while if you dont want to type on your laptop keyboard and need a responsive backlit keyboard and mouse for your home office or hobby gaming. Its a very good value.

REVIEW: COSTCO Seagate 5 TB Portable Backup Plus – One Touch – Hard Drive $89 (Normally $124)

I got a Seagate 5 TB Portable Backup Plus – One Touch – Hard Drive (https://amzn.to/2OMEC4S ) for $89 . Its normally $124. Costco also had other Seagate external hard drives on sale such as the Seagate 8TB Backup Plus Hub External Desktop Hard Drive ( https://amzn.to/2OGva2K ) for $139, and the Seagate 2 TB Ultra Touch ( https://amzn.to/3tcQtYJ ) for $74.

I needed to clear out hard drive space on my MSI GE75 Gaming laptop ( https://amzn.to/326XfDJ ) that i use for video editing. I normally carry a Crucial 1 TB SSD drive ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) to quickly transport and backup video and footage to and from my laptop.

The Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) transfers about 500 megabytes a second. However, for longer term backups of footage, using a traditional mechanical external hard drive is more cost effective. SSD drives transfers 5 times faster than traditional drives but costs at least 5 times as much has of this 2021. The cost is the reason why I also have a portable mechanical hard drive.

I have a few Seagate One Touch USB 3.0 ( https://amzn.to/2OMEC4S ) external portable hard drives to backup my laptop. In the video it transfers at about 100 megabytes a second which is fast for a mechanical hard drive. So my typical 300 megabyte video clips and footage takes about 3 seconds to backup. So it is worth it to carry both SSD and HDD when working remotely from home.

This drive is very portable and has a single USB 3,0 cable to transfer data and power the drive. The case is lightweight and made of plastic. Since it is a traditional mechanical drive, you need to be careful not to place it next to magnetic fields.

This is why i only bring my SSD drive with me when traveling away from home or office. Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) is not magnetic and has no moving parts. I usually keep my Seagate portable drives at the office or work site only.

REVIEW: Costco HOMEDICS Air Compression BACK STRETCHING MAT – $149

I picked up this Homedics Air Compression Back Stretching Mat (https://amzn.to/3tmsRka ) at Costco for $149.

I wanted to decompress the pressure on my back after a long work day. I normally do a brisk fitness workout after work to stretch. Usually sleeping would decompress some pressure, however it was not enough. I was thinking of getting an inversion table ( https://amzn.to/30OdswI ) to hang from but didn’t have the space to store it, nor did I like hanging upside down.

Here is my quick review after using this for over 7 days every night.

Pros:

  • Convienent and easy to use, just plug in, lie down and use.
  • Space saving folds in half to store. Light weight.
  • 3 levels of intensity
  • 4 programs, each last about 15 minutes
  • I feel more relaxed after using it.

Cons:

The instruction manual is pretty worthless on how to use other than telling you to plug it in and not use more than 15 minutes at a time.

If you are short (under 5 feet), you need to experiment on where you position your overall body.

The decompressor only has 4 programs, which is simple and pretty much all I need, however it is very repetitive. Of the 4 programs, only 2 was effective for me.

It would have been good if there were heat elements to pre-heat and relax my muscles prior to the decompression motions.

Tips on how to use:

  • I either do a brief 10 minute stretching and aerobic workout or a hot shower to relax the muscles prior to using the decompressor. There are no heat elements on the decompressor.
  • I started with the lowest in the beginning and worked up to the higher levels over several days. I do only 15 minutes a day. Over a week of use and getting my body used to it, I extended it to 2 program sessions to relax.
  • I had to experiment on which position works the best in low intensity mode.

Is it Worth it?

Overall it doesn’t replace a trip to the Chiropractor or skilled massage therapist, but its works for me to relieve a tired back, especially when I can use it every day if I wanted to. It brings good value and definitely worth it for me.
