Happy Customer, July 11, 2006

This review is from: Logitech Attack 3 Joystick (Personal Computers)

Unit installed in seconds with no false starts or headaches of any kind. The base is wide and heavy and when placed on a mouse pad doesn't move around at all, even when I get a little too "into" my flight sim games. One can't beat the price either. For flying prop planes, I am very saisfied with the performance.

This joystick is solidly built & comforatable during long sessions. It's a pleasure to use. The 12 programmable buttons make it very adaptable ( good for MS Flight Simulator ). Plus, the reasonable price makes it easy to afford. Overall I would recommend it to anyone.

Holy Logitech Attack 3 Batman!, August 1, 2005

Gregory D. Hoover "Wit Personified" (Santa Clarita, California) -

This review is from: Logitech Attack 3 Joystick (Personal Computers)

I needed a joystick, nothing fancy just something simple. I bought one that was a little too simple for about $16. I needed ANOTHER one. I found this Logitech Attack 3 one, for also $16. The caliber of the LA3 in quality and use is amazing. This joystick is fantastic. The stick itself is spring loaded but feels like it's gliding. The buttons and trigger are all on hair touches making for easy presses. And the throttle is a gliding scroll button that's very smooth and never leaves where you put it. One hand works the stick while the other works the bottom buttons and throttle. If you need a joy stick for some simple flying and dog fighting, (i.e. Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed) then the Logitech Attack 3 is perfect for you. Low price that delivers way more than it should. If you're a "sim" kind of guy then no, don't get this because it's not a sim stick, it's a joy stick, and it will bring you joy.

Depends on what you mean. The fear of fear is what Wise-Asses like to call wise, I Think is useful if your scared of just one thing, so that you fear nothing else. Then you should learn how to just face it, so that, overall, you end up fearless.
If you mean the game, I hate the end, its not that scary, but a lot of fun. The first few levels are memorable

This review is from: Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro (Video Game)

Keyboard works ok, but it is REALLY, REALLY lame that Logitech didn't include the L1,L2,R1,R2,etc keys...which are critical for proper zooming of the Internet Browser. This means that you have to have the controller or remote control nearby as well for basic navigation. How much harder could it have been to include these keys? Oh well...

Great Bluetooth Keyboard !!, January 10, 2008

This review is from: Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro (Video Game)

Just received this keyboard last night. Was worried from the reviews that construction might be flimsy. Not the case. I had the Logitech DiNovo desktop (keyboard, number pad, and mouse) previously. The number pad went missing pretty quickly and the keyboard was not the toughest of keyboards. The left CTRL key stopped working after about a year. I was using it for my living room computer (music, net surfing, etc), so use was not tremendous. Another year later, the keyboard croaked and mouse went missing, so it was time for a new bluetooth combo. Not much out there at the time of this writing - Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard (expensive) and the Microsoft combo set, but it requires WinXP SP2, which I wasn't keen on. I considered the Bestbuy Razorfish, but that looked pretty cheap. I found this one for PS3, but was worried about compatability with a regular computer (I don't have PS3). I got the box, opened it up, used another keyboard and mouse to set up, and DONE! Up and running in under 3 minutes. The keyboard weight is perfect. Not too light and not terribly heavy. Doesn't feel cheap. Looks great with piano black and chrome finish when its sitting unused. If you've used a laptop touchpad, you can use this thing. A couple tweaks on the mouse movement settings and all set! There is no WIN key, but use Ctrl-Esc instead. The key stroke depth is great. Longer stroke than the Dinovo Desktop - also quieter. The touchpad also has scrolling - BIG PLUS. The keyboard even has two keys on the bottom left which emulate the left and right mouse buttons, making dragging a bit easier than using just the right hand. Finally, there's a power switch, which helps with battery life. Two AA's and this thing goes! For the money, this is the best bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo around. Keep in mind, this is used on an entertainment computer, not a gamer. Gamers obviously need a better mouse, but the keyboard is still great. Overall, for a living room / entertaining computer, this keyboard rates an A+.

This review is from: Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro (Video Game)

I tried a standard wireless Logitech KB with the PS3 and while it worked, the range was only about 10 feet. As my couch is about 20 feet from the PS3, I had to string the KB receiver into the middle of the room. No such problem with the Mediaboard. I walked into a back bedroom over 50 ft away and it was able to transmit that distance through a number of walls. It is glossy black with a chrome strip on the top to complement the PS3. The X and O buttons are mapped to the Enter and Esc keys respectively; which works well since the X is usually "OK" and O is typically "Back". The touchpad beats using the D-pad to move around the PlayStation Store. I have not used the media buttons on the top since I have the Sony remote. Once you pair up the Mediaboard to the PS3 (which is an easy process) you don't have to do it again. I was concerned that I would have to pair it up each time I turned on the Mediaboard or PS3.

I only have three small issues with the Mediaboard. One, the power switch is a slider built into the chrome strip. There is a little nub in the center that I assume was to provide some grip. It doesn't help since the surface of the button is slick. I just use my fingernail to move the switch back and forth. Second: no Start button. You need to press Start to begin downloads from the Playstation Store. Not a big issue as you can use the arrow keys to move to the Start image on the screen and hit the Enter (X) key. Third: no PS button. A strange omission. It might have to do with the fact that the Mediaboard does not show up as a controller on the PS3.

I highly recommend the Mediaboard for anyone looking for a keyboard for their PS3.

I'm using this to get surround sound with my Logitech X-540 and my PS3. Although it's not true Dolby surround sound, it's super cheap as well as the X-540 is. Before I got this, I was using the matrix mode on the X-540, and it's nowhere near as good as having this adapter because the sound isn't forced into all 5 speakers. I highly recommend this to those who don't have the expensive 5.1 systems.

This review is from: Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Video Game)

I needed something to connect my 5.1 surround sound speaker system to video game systems and dvd players, because they only have computer plugs. I went to several retail stores like Best Buy, Radioshack, and circuit city, but none of them had one. The closest thing they had to it were plugs that cost 50$. When i saw this on Amazon for 5$ I wasn't quite sure whether it would be good quality, but it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It works just fine, and to top it off they delivered it to me in less than half the estimated delivery time. This is a great product to get.

Now what it seems, June 3, 2008

Andrew E. Stephenson -

This review is from: Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Video Game)

Be aware that if you are using a stereo source (two channels, red/white), you can butter it up all you want, but you are not getting surround sound. The closest you can physically get to true non-stereo sound with a stereo source is using Dolby Pro-Logic and Pro-Logic II. But to achieve that, you need a Dolby Pro-Logic/II receiver which would cost a pretty penny. This clearly does not do this.

What this adapter does, is the same thing you would achieve by splicing the rear left, front left, and center speaker wire together and connecting it to a single-channel plug (a white RCA plug). Then the same thing being repeated for the right channel with front right, rear right, and center.

Using this adapter, the sound will be all around you, but it won't be surround sound. You won't hear space ships and laser blasts flying around you, you won't hear dialog coming directly from the TV, music from the left and right, and special effects from behind you, nor will you hear any of the other advantages of a real surround sound system. It recreates two really big stereo speakers. That is all. You will hear one set of sounds on the left speakers, and another set of sounds on the right speakers. The same sound that is in your FRONT left speaker will be coming out of your REAR left speaker. Your center speaker just outputs the sound from both front left and front right speaker. The exact same thing can be accomplished by just running a speaker wire from your left speaker to another speaker behind you. What you will hear is two distinctive channels (left and right), but duplicated and sent to the back speakers. Actual 5.1 surround consists of 6 individual channels, one per speaker, plus the subwoofer.

This device does not allow 5.1 surround sound. If you buy an expensive 5.1 speaker set, you are selling yourself short.

Now if you don't care about this and you are just trying to utilize your 5.1 setup on a stereo source, by all means, the product works great. But if you are trying to avoid buying an AV receiver, you will be strongly disappointed.

This review is from: Cyborg R.A.T.7 Gaming Mouse for PC and MAC (Personal Computers)

After following this mouse on the web and seeing it's weirdness on Youtube and the Cyborg site. I have to say that I'm more than surprised. Ignore what most people are saying about the sensor, I've picked up the mouse a few times and with any mouse it's going to move a little, even with my G9 and crappy 5 dollar everyday usage mouse, re-aim you crappy players who like to complain and blame a mouse! I'm using a big mousepad, the metal one from Cyborg's site with dual side covering, and the dual DPI setting works great. Play tested it with Global Agenda for the past few hours and it feels great. The sniper button is adjustable to how fast or slow you want to make the DPI setting in comparable to your mouse DPI, other words, if your DPI setting for shooting without scope is set to 3000, but when you scope, you can adjust it at 50% (default) so it's down to 1500, then you can adjust more or less depending if you want the sniper mode to be faster or slower based on a percentage to your current DPI setting. So if you go up to 5000, and the sniper mode is set to 50% (default), sniper mode puts it at 2500.

This mouse is a little bit on the heavier side though, even with all the weights taken out, it tips the scale over my G9 even with the weights in the G9 and NOT in the R.A.T. 7. But that's easy to get used to, the funkiness of it's design and ability to form fit the palm rest and thumb buttons, as well as change the ring finger and pinky siding to different grips as well as a rest for casual usage is a great feature. Doubt it's as comfortable as some ergonomic mice with dual form fitted finger rests, but remember, this is a changeable design.

Very few cons with this mouse so far, minor annoyances.
- I wished Cyborg would have gone with covering for the metal frame bottom, yes, it's sturdy and easily usable as a flail, but the corners of the metal get on my nerves for fear I may scratch my mousepad, which is FROM Cyborg also, lol. Also the mouse's feet could have a little more surface to them.
- The mouse DPI setting button (located in below the mouse wheel) feels a little loose, which kind of scared me, I'm wondering if it should be stiffer or is that how it's suppose to be? Not too sure, will have to email Cyborg about it, but it works, it's more of a single button switch than a button. Like a toggle button, that you press and push forward to increase, or press and pull back to decrease DPI setting.
- Another minor annoyance is the thumb buttons swivle ability, if you get way too into a game, I could see the potential for pushing too hard on the thumb buttons and sniper button and possible pushing in the thumb buttons so you'd have to readjust the swivle again.
- Last minor annoyance is the tool placement for the mouse. I like how it's part of the mouse so it's not easily lost. BUT damned if you have small hands or like to support your mouse with only your fingers for really fast paced pick up and move shooting, for the nub of the tool does get annoying to the bottom palm of your hand, at least move the palm rest down one click to avoid this problem. I like 2 clicks down myself, gives a better palm feel for me.

Overall, I'm really shocked. Glad Saitek/Cyborg kept up with producing this mouse the way it came out and don't let the MadCatz label fool you. Ever true gamer knows about MadCatz, but remember, this is a CYBORG, not really a MadCatz, though it has their label. Also they do include a nifty tin case to carry all the extra parts and even a small container for weights you aren't using, though the weight container is somewhat a pain since the weights can get stuck inside. I suggest you toss it out or place a buffer inside the bottom so weights won't get stuck. With as big as the tin case is, you'd think the mouse would fit inside also, which I wish it did! Be a great way to transport a mouse for LAN parties.

If you got the dough to dish out, it's a pretty interesting mouse with a great concept, adjust it to your hand for whatever reason or game you play. Again, this mouse is capable of being used as a flail, so remember not to beat anyone who sneaks behind you while you're trying to shoot someone.

This review is from: Family Game Night 4: The Game Show (Video Game)

There is no question that there has been a lack of great game shows on television right now. With the exceptions of the classics like The Price Is Right, Wheel Of Fortune, and Let's Make A Deal with Wayne Brady to name a few, game shows have really not been as smooth on television as they used to be. But with cable game shows, they have had a much rougher ride for the past several years, and have gone to the favors of reality shows. But Family Game Night with Todd Newton when it came out earlier this year, it absolutely did what few shows were really able to do, bring families together and also deliver in what a game show could be again for both kids and adults, fun. That has not happened since Nickelodeon's Double Dare back in the 80's and 90's shined with Marc Summers. But with that success, somehow there needed to be a game for Family Game Night, but honestly it isn't completely worth the money.

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show tries to bring The Hub's strong game show to the video game market. It seems like a good idea, as Mr. Potato Head takes on Todd's role, as you play 5 games from the game show on the Wii, and try to score the highest amount of money through the Monopoly Crazy Cash Machine. The graphics handle well, as you try and master games like Yahtzee Bowling, as you try and strike your way to five-of-a-kind, Connect 4 basketball as you try and make a connect 4 by shooting hoops. The control is very simple, and easy to get used to. But that doesn't make it where the game can have a better enjoying moment. What makes the game suffer is that there are very few games that were highlighted for the Wii, and more games should've been included in the game. There were a lot of games that could've been included on the game like Guesstures Free Fall, Cranium, Twister: Lights Out, and new games from the show like Green Scream could've been a part of the game. Since the show debuted its sophmore season only a few months ago, there honestly should've been much more to be a part of the game for the Wii, but fell nearly flat, as a way of trying to be as a part of what Family Game Night has been a video game for the past few years.

Overall, if you are a fan of Family Game Night, than Family Game Night 4: The Game Show might be a good bet. But overall, it really isn't a must buy because it falls short because there is just too few great games from the game show that were here for you to play. If there is going to be a Volume 5 of Family Game Night for the games from the game show, there should honestly be at leats 5 or 10 more to make it a much better bang for your buck. I also think it would've been a fun twist if Todd Newton was here to do the emcee bit, unlike Mr. Potato Head. Overall, a good concept, but more should've been with the game show.

Graphics: B

Sound: C+

Control: B-

Fun & Enjoyment: C for solo play; C 1/2+ for multiplayer

This review is from: Family Game Night 4: The Game Show (Video Game)

When the new Family Game Night Nintendo Wii game came out, I knew I'd want to try it. I have the other three games and love them, EA and Hasbro definitely make a good combination. That being said, "Family Game Night 4: The Game Show" is good, but its not my favorite in the bunch.

Family Game Night 4 contains the games: Scrabble Flash, Connect 4 Basketball, Bop It Boptagon, Sorry Sliders, and Yahtzee Bowling. Each game features its own game plus another version of it. Playing these games on the Wii definitely give the original board games a twist and make for great family fun. The controls are a little funky, they take a few turns getting used to but then its okay. Connect 4 is neat because you shoot chips like a basketball hoping to make a Connect 4! Yahtzee Bowling is just like it sounds but it a lot faster as you roll three times. Sorry Sliders has you sliding Sorry tokens to a center ring, with the second version including Sumo guys! Bop It has you pushing different buttons to make different noises.

Finally, Scrabble Flash is my favorite. I love word games so moving titles around to match up letters is right up my alley. You compete against another player to make words from a set of five letters.
The best part of the game is silly Mr. Potato Head. He wears funny clothes and is a great game show host. Oh and rather than playing each game individually you can also play a Game Show version where you compete for cards by playing the different games.
