Aztaro Reviews: Logitech G400s Gaming Mouse

Yes, more Logitech. But they are good and often the most cost efficient devices I can get. Basically they make good stuff yo.

Aztaro Reviews: Logitech G400s Gaming Mouse [ Mouse, I'm gonna start linking things cause it's nice ]

This is a mouse. This mouse does a job. It does it's job well. It even does better than just it's job. Good employee mouse. Okay, silliness aside, this is a good mouse, I love it, good sized, works how it should, even a few extras for people who want them. With 2 thumb buttons and 3 buttons controlling DPI [how sensitive it is] and your standard 2 clickers and the wheel, it's a standard mouse + some. Not jumbled with too much to make it a hardcore mouse or anything but enough for say a person who can't reach a button or two and want's to not move their hands so much. Also cord, I know this is the 21st century but darn it I hate batteries, cords are nice and never betray you... unless you have a nibbily pet. Well don't have much else on it without going to final thoughts so here they are.

Final Thoughts [Skip 'em if you don't wanna hear 'em]: I like this mouse, little bigger than average so it fits nice in the hand, the software is online and light so it doesn't take too much computer power. For games I tend to put Ctrl and Alt on the thumb buttons cause I tend to let go of the WASD in games to click them which if in a battle or something else, very bad to let go of them. They also help because Ctrl is open in a new tab in internet applications and alt leads to the upper bar which I frequently have hidden, I don't remember correctly but with it's price tag it was a decent deal. Had it for a year and have no problems thus far and it works great, recommend it for really anyone.

Final Though: Buy it, use it, enjoy it. Logitech is great at getting reliable out that won't break bank and this mouse is a nice addition to any computer, gamer or not.

Aztaro Reviews: Logitech K310 Washable Keyboard

Wow this page was neglected *blows dust off*
Well hopefully I'm back, lets begin!

Aztaro Reviews: Logitech K310 Washable Keyboard [Home site doesn't have it anymore, have Amazon, hint hint wink wink]

As the name suggests, yes, this is completely washable, no need to pop out keys, soak, scrub, no no no, none of that. With easy cleaning [so easy the instructions are printed on the back] it's obviously boasting for the clumbsy people out there, with laser printed keys that don't run away easily and a little brush to get between keys when a full cleaning isn't needed. You bet I got this, not only cause I tend to eat chips over my keyboard or anything... okay maybe that was the reason but where I place my keyboard is practically my table for everything. Another great feature is the keys, not only laser etched and spaced for the brush [that attaches to the back of it as well], but they just fell amazing, easy to glide over, not overly loud but not completely quiet. I often see myself rubbing my hand across it just to feel the keys! Sorry... I really like the keys. But really, just soap up your sink, toss it in [keeping the USB out of the water, also printed in the instructions on the back], keep it there for 5 minutes, rinse and let dry. And if it is just one little thing, use the brush [if it's a solid mass, liquids should be washed], it couldn't be a better keyboard!

Personal Thoughts [Skip at your leisure]: It works, it feels nice, doesn't wear almost at all and it's easily cleaned. What's there not to like? And it isn't an arm and a leg to buy, cheap good keyboards? MADNESS! [NO THIS IS LOGITECH! Sorry, couldn't help it, these are my thoughts gimme a break] Seiously, I'm a gamer and they keys still look like brand new, not like my $10 bargain keyboard I pick up at any store where it started wearing off after 1.5-2 years of use? It isn't even showing a sign of age! Also sorry for the mess of organization, I normally have my ideas straightened out but, I'm a bit rusty okay?

Final Thought: If you want a keyboard that can last or something easier to maintain due to messy family or other users, it's worth buying, seriously I'm using this till it burns out then buying another and again when that burns out [if they are still being sold]. Go get it, the link is up there by the review name.

Aztaro Reviews: Razer Deathadder

Mice are good, mice are amazing, mice get the job done, then there's this mouse. The Deathadder has extra customizable buttons, selectable DPI and it can light up if you so desire. It's a great mouse... that is if you aren't me or some other customer who used it. My experience with this product was that for one, I loved the USB cord, I will give it that. Now why I don't like it, the mouse would "studder" in games. The program/drivers lagged my visuals and the click seemed to be "off" in some way, I'm not sure how to describe it but it felt I needed to really "want" it to click for it to work. As well another person I heard talk about it [keeping them anonymous] "It's a good mouse don't get me wrong, but the scroll wheel is bugged [...] after some time it starts to scroll extra units". A problem I didn't have [cause I returned it right once I started having problems], but I'm sure would annoy me once I get them. If you're a gamer, don't get it unless you can get it for free, if it's just a replacement for someone who just wants any old mouse for scrolling through the internet, by all means... though this would be an expansive mouse for just that... anyway buyers beware

Aztaro Reviews: Newegg.com

COMPUTER GEEKS AND NERDS UNITE!
Well if you're anything into computers more than just having one you'd probably know about this site, it's been out there for a while

Aztaro Reviews: Newegg.com

This computer I'm using was built by me [not bragging], it's pretty dang good for the price I got on it [bragging] and I'm glad I got out of the whole, buying already assembled computers. If I were to buy this computer already assembled at the time I got it, it would have been ~$900-~$1000 dollars, I got it for ~$415 dollars. Yeah building your own can save you quite a bit of money and with most of their sales going on you are sure to get something for a good to great price.

Their Website is a bit overwhelming if you're looking for one thing but learning how to use it is laughably easy to pick up. It shows all the information you need on a part or the item of your choice, has customer reviews [some more accurate than others] and the payment system is very secure. I've used the site many times and like I said, once you get one idea on how the navigation works, it works for just about everything else. With loads of parts over many brands you are use to find a part you want for a price you'll love. they also have a comparing system to help you see, side by side, which part you want to get easier than opening all the parts in new tabs and looking each over.

The shipping, just wow, I always choose the 7 day cause I'm cheap but also depending on size, it comes in about 2-3 days, 6-7 day wait and getting it in less than half of that most of the time, I'm not complaining. Standard warranties for both through the website AND the company? It's like twice the protection for your buy and if you are a butter finger or have some unknown problems they do offer website extended warranties. This site also has the users review the product, not the companies, so you can get people who experienced the item first hand and it can be useful to know... or you can get some person who blames shipping and gives it a bad review. Seriously, don't be that person, it's not any ones fault but the process it went through to get shipped, please rate a good product, not a damaged one.

Personal Thoughts: I basicly said it into the review, ha HA! Got you to read them anyway.

Final Thought: Even if you are a person who just buys computers already assembled, this is still a site for you, they have them as well for probably a better price than a store and would you rather get tech support from people who deal with computers? Or someone who also deals with Clothing, Books, Food and diapers? Clearly Newegg.com is something to look at.

Aztaro Reviews: Windows 8

Hey-a people of the interwebs, the system of pipes, internets and what not. I'm here with another review and it's some what relevant!

Aztaro Reviews: Windows 8 [64 bit]

I was helping a family member get a holiday gift when what do you know a person I knew was working behind the counter. I got the family member the item and then talked to the clerk who was in a class with me in college. He was saying how Windows 8 PC's were flying off the shelves, he then showed me the discs. "Yeah those are cool but I don't think I need an upgrade yet". Who was I kidding I wanted it but being a good salesman and knowing I was a techie he worked his magic and next thing I knew I lost ~$80 and was wondering how they did it.

Story time over, I installed it, very easy and installs in what felt like less than 10 minutes, no joke, updates, drivers and all! I didn't have a touch screen monitor but it didn't matter, it was good with a mouse and still the same touch concepts really. I was quickly customizing and downloading programs being happy and enjoying it's amazing performance [only big word I'll use is RAM memory association, it's amazing how it can use so little for the OS]. I was fairly impressed even with the number of free apps and programs.

Personal Thoughts [skip if you don't care]: Now I was amazed by the speed and simplicity but the interface is extremely new and different, obviously meant for touch enabled PC's. Also another thing I noticed is it hated my graphics card as in I had to run it without drivers due to when they were [automatically installed, like almost every other driver], the HD tv I was using as monitor would not fit the screen. What I mean is the computer was "zooming in" and cutting off the edges of my screen, but uninstall of drivers fixed it. Another problem I ran into was not all programs are compatible, that's a given so not much to complain. After wasting some time reinstalling everything [programs, not drivers, those were automatic] I started up Steam and was about to enjoy some games when it instantly crashed. I tried another and same result, I was like "Seriously? come on". I was only able to get about 30% of my games to work and they weren't even the newer ones, they were older than 2010. This was a big no no on my half, in my frustration I just reinstalled 7 and waited for an update that will fix it [I head there will be one soon so that will fix my main issue].

Final Thought: Windows 8 is [when I last used it] a glitchy mess, but some can be over looked or dealt with. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it needs some time and updates before a try, I enjoyed navigating the apps and pages, it was a neat experience when I got use to it. All I'm saying is if it gets fixed the "Windows Theory" [every other OS is bad is the bottom line of it] maybe put to rest here, it just needs it's glitches and some software problems dealt with.

I know this is old and it's been out but I been busy or to tired/sick to post, YAY PROCRASTINATION!

Aztaro Updates

Hello peoples!

As you can tell I have been inactive... a LONG time [mostly due to things I want to review not working properly] because of laziness. So I hatched a plan, I think I will start another blog for game stuff cause... well that's what I do most and that's what I like to do. So I'm making another blog [don't worry this one will still be here and most likely still visited from time to time] and it'll be about video games and either reasons to play, reviews or just suggestions.

Silly picture cause I ALWAYS HAVE TO ADD A PICTURE! Sorry don't mean to yell, I like pictures, that's why I add them.

Back on topic I should be doing a [first sightings] review on Windows 8, I added a note, it's in there... in between this "[" and "]" that. I'll try to get this "handwriting to font" review going [scanner LOVES me >.>] and a website that... oh wait it's gaming? Shesh nevermind that'll be for the other blog.

Sorry for inactivity, hopefully more will come!

Bye love you

... Okay that's kind of rude...

"Good day to you madam's and sir's"

Yeah, that's a bit more tasteful

Aztaro Reviews: Absence and "How Secure is My Password"

Hello, sorry I haven't updated, posted a "sorry busy" or anything. Just had some moments in life happening, college starting and overall general distractions that come around. I'll leave it as that and begin trying to keep somewhat of a regular schedule.

While in my absence I had found something so simple it was rather amusing. Simple password tester that tells you how long it'd take a computer to hack that password.

Aztaro Reviews: How Secure is My Password


This site is a truly knowledge based one, this isn't a scam to get passwords because it asks for no emails, account names, etc... Pretty much the site is a "how long could a computer take to hack you" sort of thing and help you learn about password importance. A little fun fact about passwords is the most used or common ones that were [and sometimes still are], 1234 or continued count to reach minimal character length, password and qwerty. It's interesting to learn that a password you had sense you were a child and thought no one could guess is easily hacked within minutes or even seconds. Giving a personal example I used a password I had sense I was a child and still occasionally check that account, never been hacked and not just a single word but a code, can be cracked in 52 seconds. This kind of shocked me, something that I had in code, could be hacked in less than a minute. This site is really fun and a good check for when you need to make a new password, to consult. Heck my friend added his and it said it would take 3 days, added 3 numbers at the end and it jumped to almost 2 months, it shows how much a little change in a password could mean a wonderful computer experience or a nightmare.

Site is right here: How Secure is My Password.net

Even if you don't plan on using it, try to find a password that will take it more than a million years to crack that isn't you smashing your hands all over the keyboard and numberpad
