**Gaming Mouse Review**

I recently had the opportunity to review three gaming mice that are highly recommended by experts and enthusiasts alike. These mice offer top-notch performance, durability, and features that cater to the needs of gamers. The first mouse I want to talk about is from Razer, a well-known brand in the gaming industry.

This mouse has six programmable buttons, including two on the side, DPI button, and scroll wheel button, all of which can be programmed using their software. It also features customizable RGB lighting, with options for different colors or patterns. I noticed that it can change colors, and it looks like a great feature to have.

The mouse is designed to provide optimal gaming performance, with a high level of accuracy and responsiveness. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, making it suitable for extended gaming sessions. Overall, this mouse is an excellent choice for gamers who want a reliable and customizable gaming experience.

Another highly recommended gaming mouse is from SteelSeries, which offers a similar set of features to the Razer mouse. It also has six programmable buttons, including two on the side, DPI button, and scroll wheel button, all of which can be programmed using their software. The mouse also features customizable RGB lighting, with options for different colors or patterns.

SteelSeries is known for its high-quality gaming peripherals, and this mouse is no exception. It provides excellent performance, durability, and comfort, making it a great choice for gamers who want a reliable gaming experience. The mouse is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, with an ergonomic design that promotes optimal grip and control.

The third gaming mouse I want to review is from Logitech, which offers a unique set of features that cater to different types of gamers. This mouse has six programmable buttons, including two on the side, DPI button, and scroll wheel button, all of which can be programmed using their software. It also features customizable RGB lighting, with options for different colors or patterns.

Logitech is known for its high-quality gaming peripherals, and this mouse is no exception. It provides excellent performance, durability, and comfort, making it a great choice for gamers who want a reliable gaming experience. The mouse is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, with an ergonomic design that promotes optimal grip and control.

**Earbuds Review**

In addition to gaming mice, I also reviewed three earbud options that are highly recommended by experts and enthusiasts alike. These earbuds offer excellent sound quality, comfort, and features that cater to different types of listeners.

The first earbud option is from more, a relatively new brand in the wireless earbud market. I had the opportunity to use these earbuds for an 8-day trip, and they exceeded my expectations. The charging case kept them charged throughout the entire trip, including on the flight. The earbuds are designed to be compact and discreet, making them suitable for everyday wear.

The sound quality of these earbuds is excellent, with clear and balanced audio that's perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks. The hybrid ANC technology provides effective noise cancellation, while the transparency mode allows ambient sounds to come in without obstructing the sound of what you're listening to. I found this feature to be particularly useful on a cruise where I wanted to hear my family members approaching without missing important conversations.

The second earbud option is from SoundPS, a brand known for its high-quality wireless earbuds. The Airs and AirPros are two models that offer similar features, with the main difference being in their design. The in-ear earbuds are designed to fit snugly in your ear, while the regular AirPros have a more traditional design.

Both earbuds offer excellent sound quality, with clear and balanced audio that's perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks. The LoL technology provides exceptional bass response, making them suitable for music lovers. The app also offers features like voice technology, which enhances the overall listening experience.

The third earbud option is also from SoundPS, but it has a different design than the Airs and AirPros. This model is designed to be more compact and discreet, making it suitable for everyday wear. Despite its smaller size, it still offers excellent sound quality and features like LoL technology and voice technology.

Overall, these earbuds are an excellent choice for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds with great sound and comfort. The charging case keeps them charged throughout the day, and the transparency mode provides a convenient way to hear ambient sounds without obstructing your listening experience.

**Tips and Recommendations**

If you're looking for recommendations on what to get someone as a gift this holiday season, I have some tips and suggestions for you. First, consider getting a gaming mouse, which offers excellent performance, durability, and features that cater to the needs of gamers.

For earbuds, I recommend checking out options from more or SoundPS. These brands offer high-quality wireless earbuds with excellent sound quality, comfort, and features like ANC technology and transparency mode. The charging case keeps them charged throughout the day, making them a convenient choice for everyday wear.

Ultimately, the best gift is one that shows you care about the person's interests and hobbies. Take some time to research and consider their preferences before making a purchase, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more information or recommendations.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everybody this is Carl from tech for goodies and today we are bringing to you the Christmas tech gift wish list okay so basically I've compiled a bunch of different things that are probably pretty good for Christmas gifts depending on who you have to give to all of these things are things that I have either mentioned in a video in the past or been provided to from the company in the past to do reviews on so if you want a deeper review of anything you see in here you can go check one of my videos to see a full unboxing and review so the first category that we're going to go over are Power Solutions so everyone's got tablets everyone's got phones everyone's got laptops and there's a whole range of things that you can get for people and I wanted to go over three different options here on my desk okay they range from sort of large battery blocks all the way down to desk or nightstand charging stations here so first off um on the high-end range we have the nurs V power bank discover 100 so this is a 28,800 milliamp hour charging Bank okay so this is capable of charging a whole wide range of things and I love this and I've used it multiple times to charge anything from my phone to my tablet to my laptop to another Windows tablet that I have it does support up to 100 watt charging depending on which Port you choose so if you look on the front here we have two USB C charging ports and then two usba a charging ports here and I think these are the Quick Charge 3.0 ports and also a small little screen up here so if I click the button you can see that I have 28% left in this battery for charging okay so if I wanted to hook something up I can monitor how much charge is left in this to be able to charge whatever I'm charging now what I find is extremely awesome about this is that I have tested multiple different devices to see what kind of speeds we got out of here and for example I have have a laptop that I charge and that was charging at the full 66 Watts that that laptop required so the good thing about this is that if I'm on the go and I'm using my laptop let's say in like an airplane or something like that I can go ahead and have this small little device here to charge my laptop on the go if I'm on a long flight so again higher on the Range but just an awesome gift that will really you know one of the things that I hate about buying gifts for people is that when I buy something they don't use it all the time so that's why in this I have gone through and done a wide AR wide array of things but hopefully you can get something that they'll use all the time and they will definitely use this so if you don't want to get something that big you can actually take a step down to a small mag safe charger just like this okay so this is the user magnetic battery pack so it has a 5,000 milliamp hour battery Bank as opposed to the 28,000 milliamp hour of the nurs V this is sort of your quick in your your backpack in your purse sort of charger that allows you to take your phone and if you have uh mag safe or G charging you can basically come on and just sort of pop it onto the back of your phone like that and it will start charging now the one thing about this is that it has an 18 watt rated output so that's good for your devices that are small like it'll still charge your iPads but it won't charge your laptop it'll charge your phone quite well I know in enal with my iPhone I will get about 14 watts in charging when I'm doing fast charging so this will support it and on top of all of that it looks super cool I mean you can see the internals of this I'm a big fan of anytime you kind of see the internals of a device uh I really think that's awesome and then on the bottom it does have uh an inout Port this one sort of shares the same one um and it's USBC so you know it's going to charge fast so I would definitely recommend something like like this if you want just a small stocking stuffer this is pretty inexpensive I'll leave all the links to everything you see today down below the very last thing in sort of the power charging sort of group that I have here is the ukom X 3in1 charger okay so this if you can see I'll show you in the top down view is basically a threein one charger that you can open up and it allows you to charge three different things okay on the left side here here through mag safe you'll be able to charge your phone uh in the middle here you can either lay your watch down here your Apple watch and this is for iPhone only it doesn't work for other devices or one of the things that I really like is that you can pop this up and it actually allows you to take your watch and because I usually have a watch that has the full band like this it allows me to go ahead and set the watch down like this and it'll connect and start charging rather than trying to lay it flat okay so the third one here is for your airpods so if you have a set of earbuds that allow you to charge through conductive charging you can basically set this up set your earbuds on here and they'll charge so that's great for like your nightstand or I just took it um on my trip just recently uh and I was able to use it pretty much solely the entire time uh I did use uh a faster charger for my iPad when I had it with me but for all the things on my nightstand at night this is absolutely perfect and then when you're done you just flip it down and fold it up and it's ready to go in a small little package now one thing to note about this depending on what depending on what you're trying to charge is that the phone will do 10 watts the airpods are 5 watts and then the watch is also 5 Watts so it's basically taking in 20 watts and sort of Distributing it across each one of those um the one thing I also really like are these three little light up dots right here each one of them lights up when the specific area is charging so you know that you have it connected right or sitting correctly onto the charger itself okay so that across the board are the sort of three I guess charging recommendations for for 2023 each one of these I've used I've enjoyed throughout the year um and mo most definitely recommend now the next thing that I want to recommend is a store solution this is a pretty unique one and it's something that I actually really like it is a hard drive enclosure and I have two of them here okay one is from Yoda master and one is from Oro if you want something that looks a little bit looks a little bit retro you can choose this one or if you want something that's just a little bit more simple and doesn't stick out you can choose this one what a hard drive enclosure allows you to do is basically take any sort of SSD um or HDD put them in here here and basically turn them into external hard drives now the eureco here will take up to a 6 tbte drive and I believe the Yoda Master will take up to a 4 terab drive both of them are toolless both of them will give you up to a 5 GB pers second transfer speed and when I say tooless the way that this works is with the Yoda Master you just pop off the top here and you can take and I have basically a SSD and an hhd right here you can take a SSD like this just slide it in put the top part back on click it in and now you have an external hard drive with exactly whatever drive you put in there now sometimes I've been in situations where I'm working on an older laptop or upgrading an older laptop and they will have a standard you know disc hard drive HDD in here um that is not an SSD and once I've gotten it out and I've upgraded their machine I realize oh no I need to get something off here so that I'm able to basically just take something like the Oro or the Yoda Master here already has an SSD in here so I'll pull this out I'll take the older HDD slide it in pop the top back on okay and now I have an external drive ready to plug in straight into my computer with that hard drive in there so the reason that I always recommend one of these is that it just is so functional and so customizable um again like I said if I was setting up a hard uh if I was setting up maybe a laptop for someone with this um I could put this in get it all set up get it into the laptop but if I needed something from their old drive again pop it in here and I'm good to go so again this is just a really small inexpensive way to give that person on your list a gift that I think is multi-purpose multi-usable and um is able to be used to year after year so again the Oro hard drive enclosure the Yoda Master hard drive enclosure both things that are that I use all the time and I've been really happy with okay so the next thing on my list is audio edifier contacted me and wanted me to take a look at their mr4 studio monitor speakers and I do not have them in front of me here because I went ahead and hooked them up to my television downstairs now these are extremely versatile speakers so what I'll do is I'll go ahead and show you some b-roll of the speakers of the different features as I'm talking about them but these are highly configurable so there's three different connection modes there's RCA there's TRS which is kind of like for a headphone or for your smartphone so you can plug in the sound three different ways to get input into the speakers and then for output of the speakers you can obviously use them as speakers but they also have headphone monitoring so you can switch between headphone monitoring and speaker just general speaker output now I have them downstairs on my television like I said and they've one thing that I want you to make sure that you realize is that they are studio monitor speakers so they don't have like a remote control like a standard Soundbar or something like that so if you want to have that sound and turn it on you're going to have to manually go over and push the button now the reason that I have them downstairs is because I really wanted to test them out I don't have a great desk I I do here but I don't use this desk that much for anything with good audio on it um what I'm planning to do behind me in 2024 is to go ahead and set up another full desk here which I will go ahead and bring those speakers up and connect them and when I do that I'll give another sort of full review on those speakers so you can kind of hear uh kind of see how they hook up see how they sort of fit on the desk but I will tell you what they're absolutely beautiful and I've been absolutely Blown Away by the sound they have 1in silk Dome tweeters 4in low frequency drivers and a high performance 42 W class D power amplifiers now that doesn't mean that I know everything about audio and I'm not going to say that hey that's awesome or that's great but from the sound and the ears that I have watching stuff on my TV went from basically like a mono output to just an incredible sound so I'm really excited to bring them up here and put them on the desk and if you pick these up for someone on your list they are going to be extremely excited okay so next on my list is phone protection now I happen to have something here that we can actually unbox as we go here magb back went ahead and sent over a magsafe compatible phone case as well as a magb wallet that goes onto the back of the phone case let's go ahead and open these up and check them out so it's very nice I went ahead and got the gray version and then like I said they also sent over this mag safe wallet so it's compatible with mag safe cases mag stash and mag safe um it is their patented technology and so let me go ahead and open this up and I went ahead and got the brown leather one um typically when I get a wallet or something I don't like to get a Black Version because I'll set it down somewhere and not be able to find it and this will sort of stick out and it also looks really nice here with the gray case so basically what you do is you go ahead and just toss it on it automatically connects and the magnet is very very very strong now I've used some in the past where I felt like the second I'm going to go ahead and use this that it's just going to fall off and I'm going to lose any cards that's in there in this particular case it this one comes with sort of like this finger hold so if you like to have something to keep your phone in your hand and connect it to your finger you can do that and it's strong enough to keep it connected to your phone so what I'll go ahead and do right now is take my phone take off my old case here which I actually just bought on a whim because I my phone was coming like the next day and I needed it right away and I haven't gotten a replacement since but if I go ahead and toss my phone in here so now if we go ahead and do this you can see now I oh it wants to call 911 um so yeah so now I've got myself set up here with the mag with the mag back wallet and again if you want to take it off you just take it off you can put your cards in here and pull them out that way um you can push them up from the bottom here as you can see and like I said it's just as simple as popping it onto the back of the case like that so I'm super happy with this I'm going to make sure to continue to use this so another thing I want to point out is that this comes with a very special accessory okay so this is considered their mag stick what this allows you to do is basically take this very small very Slimline magnet that is super duper strong but basically it has a 3M backing on here that you can pull off put this in your car and what you will be able to do is take your phone and pop it onto your dashboard and it'll stay there and this little magnet is so strong it's actually it's difficult for me to pull off with my hand from here but when you're pulling it off of something like a car you just kind of slide it off and it'll come off real easy so again across the board this is such a multi-functional case that I'm going to go ahead and hook this up in my car I'm going to use this on the back here because I actually like to have something to be able to hold the Pham like that but across the board if you're looking at sort of a good multi-functional case mine's an iPhone 15 Pro but they have the full range of iPhone cases that you can look at they have Samsung and Google pixel cases all this stuff comes in a full wide range so and again thank you to them for sending this over enough about that next on the list is gaming mouses okay gaming mice gaming me feel free to correct me down below I'll call it mouses for now um I've got three different options here I don't have the right in front of me cuz I'm using them on each one of my computers the first one I want to talk about and I'll throw up some images here um are is the razor death at our essential gaming mouse so when I started getting into gaming mouses I just wanted to get something that was inexpensive I didn't want to spend $1 $150 on on a gaming mouse I wanted one from a reputable company that was inexpensive I think I got it around 24 bucks and that would work really good so this one has been absolutely awesome I have it's it is a little bit bigger Mouse so I that's why I have multiple options here I'm going to show you it has 60 it has a 6400 DPI digital sensor and that uh their software will allow you to actually change the different DPI to based on what you want the buttons are mechanical switches they're not just regular membrane switches so you hear that click and you feel that click when you're using the mouse and each one of the buttons is programmable there's about five buttons on there so it is the super base line of a mouse if you're looking to get something for someone uh maybe for a stocking stuffer they will love this mouse it works great I've had no problems with it but if you're looking to step it up just a little bit you can go for the LTC GM 041 wired gaming mouse so this one was a great addition and in fact the reason it's not here on my desk it's my because my son is downstairs using it right now and I didn't want to have to yank it off his computer I'll put some more pictures up there of it while I go through some of the features of it but LTC um they make this keyboard that I have on my desk the Nimble back um and their products are great I love that company and everything that they have the things that I've had from them have never uh I've never had problems with they've always continued to work and they're good good quality construction the cool thing about this particular Mouse it also has the 6400 DP uh adjustable with five different levels um it also has a thumb scroll wheel so if you're using a mouse you know you can use your thumb to scroll with as well as your finger from the middle Mouse button um it has a thumb scroll on the side it has seven programmable buttons and also one of the things that I really like is that it has DET it has detachable finger rests so you can basically put them on and uh take them off based on how you use your mouse so that's another awesome option very affordable great for a gift um and then the third gaming mouse on this list is a super duper budget option it is the DI Mouse I have it right here on my desk and I did a full review on this one too I actually purchased this one myself uh because I also wanted another option right so this is a very very budget option and it works great this one actually has up to a 12,800 DPI with adjustable levels using their software it has six programmable buttons two here on the side these two also this DPI button the scroll wheel button all can be programmed using their software it has custom customizable RGB right now I just have it on this green color that I think sort of uh can rotate between different colors or I I'm not exactly sure which what setting I currently have it on and I really liked oh yeah you can see it's changing now to a different color and I really like this honeycomb pattern there was something I wanted to check out and the reason they do this um from my understanding is that it is for lightness so it's a very very light Mouse I've been using it on my computer here I'm sure you've seen it in multiple videos but it's another great option so there are three great gaming mouse options for your person that you're buying for to put under the tree it just basically depends on which one you want to pick up and use but each one of them would be very very solid very sturdy very reliable and have no issues so um I would most definitely recommend all three of them so the next on the list is earbuds now I've reviewed a bunch of earbuds and I've used a bunch of earbuds but the three that I have actually really enjoyed this year are these three here on the desk okay two of them will buy sound Pats and one of them will buy more so the more earbuds I just took on my trip for about 8 days and I used them every single day and this charging case kept them charged on the flight there every single day on the trip now I didn't use them 24 hours a day I used them maybe 2 three hours a day and then on the flight back so the good thing about this is that they are sort of the in ear earbuds if you like something like that so they have hybrid ANC for the noise uh adaptive noise cancelling and they also have a transparency mode which I'm a big fan of so again on the trip that I was on I was on a cruise and I would be sitting out around and I have family members we had 15 people on this Cruise right and I like the idea that if I had these in my ears the transparency mode lets sound come in uh but it doesn't obstruct the sound of what you're listening to so I'm watching a YouTube video or something like that I can hear someone come up and say hey Carl uh what's up and then I can hear them and then I'm not just sitting there it seems like I'm ignoring them so for a great budget pair of earbuds the more wireless earbuds are awesome um and then the other two are from sound PS I'm sure you've seen these reviews on my site we have the airs and the air Pros um the main difference that I have seen both have set both have the Snapdragon the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon sound technology both have Lo lossless sound and their appx voice technology which makes them both sound incredible I mean the main difference that I've seen a is the cases are a little bit different so that's not that big of a deal but the pros are the in ear earbuds that you can see here and the regular air fours are the sort of similar to airpods where they sort of sit in your ear so you can kind of see the difference here I haven't noticed any difference really in the quality of the sound except for this will totally close off your ear and this allows a little bit more ambient noise to come in but nothing that affects the quality but for the price and quick tip here always check something like Amazon um because they're always having sales on these especially near Christmas um right now there's a 30% off sale these are are a little on the higher end but getting 30% off or getting an awesome on sale deal for these is perfect and I would most definitely recommend them uh across the board great option for a Christmas gift so most definitely check these out but that's about it hope you hopefully you found something in this guide that'll help you for that person on your list uh if this helped you let me know in the comments what you're going to pick up give me a thumbs up give me a like but until next time this is Carl from techville goodies and I'm outwhat's up everybody this is Carl from tech for goodies and today we are bringing to you the Christmas tech gift wish list okay so basically I've compiled a bunch of different things that are probably pretty good for Christmas gifts depending on who you have to give to all of these things are things that I have either mentioned in a video in the past or been provided to from the company in the past to do reviews on so if you want a deeper review of anything you see in here you can go check one of my videos to see a full unboxing and review so the first category that we're going to go over are Power Solutions so everyone's got tablets everyone's got phones everyone's got laptops and there's a whole range of things that you can get for people and I wanted to go over three different options here on my desk okay they range from sort of large battery blocks all the way down to desk or nightstand charging stations here so first off um on the high-end range we have the nurs V power bank discover 100 so this is a 28,800 milliamp hour charging Bank okay so this is capable of charging a whole wide range of things and I love this and I've used

like that I can go ahead and have this small little device here to charge my laptop on the go if I'm on a long flight so again higher on the Range but just an awesome gift that will really you know one of the things that I hate about buying gifts for people is that when I buy something they don't use it all the time so that's why in this I have gone through and done a wide AR wide array of things but hopefully you can get something that they'll use all the time and they will definitely use this so if you don't want to get something that big you can actually take a step down to a small mag safe charger just like this okay so this is the user magnetic battery pack so it has a 5,000 milliamp hour battery Bank as opposed to the 28,000 milliamp hour of the nurs V this is sort of your quick in your your backpack in your purse sort of charger that allows you to take your phone and if you have uh mag safe or G charging you can basically come on and just sort of pop it onto the back of your phone like that and it will start charging now the one thing about this is that it has an 18 watt rated output so that's good for your devices that are small like it'll still charge your iPads but it won't charge your laptop it'll charge your phone quite well I know in enal with my iPhone I will get about 14 watts in charging when I'm doing fast charging so this will support it and on top of all of that it looks super cool I mean you can see the internals of this I'm a big fan of anytime you kind of see the internals of a device uh I really think that's awesome and then on the bottom it does have uh an inout Port this one sort of shares the same one um and it's USBC so you know it's going to charge fast so I would definitely recommend something like like this if you want just a small stocking stuffer this is pretty inexpensive I'll leave all the links to everything you see today down below the very last thing in sort of the power charging sort of group that I have here is

um on my trip just recently uh and I was able to use it pretty much solely the entire time uh I did use uh a faster charger for my iPad when I had it with me but for all the things on my nightstand at

depending on what you're trying to charge is that the phone will do 10 watts the airpods are 5 watts and then the watch is also 5 Watts so it's basically taking in 20 watts and sort of Distributing it across each one of those um the one thing I also really like are these three little light up dots right here each one of them lights up when the specific area is charging so you know that you have it connected right or sitting correctly onto the charger itself okay so that across the board are the sort of three I guess charging recommendations for for 2023 each one of these I've used I've enjoyed throughout the year um and mo most definitely recommend now the next thing that I want to recommend is a store solution this is a pretty unique one and it's something that I actually really like it is a hard drive enclosure and I have two of them here okay one is from Yoda master and one is from Oro if you want something that looks a little bit looks a little bit retro you can choose this one or if you want something that's just a little bit more simple and doesn't stick out you can choose this one what a hard drive enclosure allows you to do is basically take any sort of SSD um or HDD put them in here here and basically turn them into external hard drives now the eureco here will take up to a 6 tbte drive and I believe the Yoda Master will take up to a 4 terab drive both of them are toolless both of them will give you up to a 5 GB pers second transfer speed and when I say tooless the way that this works is with the Yoda Master you just pop off the top here and you can take and I have basically a SSD and an hhd right here you can take a SSD like this just slide it in put the top part back on click it in and now you have an external hard drive with exactly whatever drive you put in there now sometimes I've been in situations where I'm working on an older laptop or upgrading an older laptop and they will have a standard you know disc hard drive HDD in here um that is not an SSD and once I've gotten it out and I've upgraded their machine I realize oh no I need to get something off here so that I'm able to basically just take something like the Oro or the Yoda Master here already has an SSD in here so I'll pull this out I'll take the older HDD slide it in pop the top back on okay and now I have an external drive ready to plug in straight into my computer with that hard drive in there so the reason that I always recommend one of these is that it just is so functional and so customizable um again like I said if I was setting up a hard uh if I was setting up maybe a laptop for someone with this um I could put this in get it all set up get it into the laptop but if I needed something from their old drive again pop it in here and I'm good to go so again this is just a really small inexpensive way to give that person on your list a gift that I think is multi-purpose multi-usable and um is able to be used to year after year so again the Oro hard drive enclosure the Yoda Master hard drive enclosure both things that are that I use all the time and I've been really happy with okay so the next thing on my list is audio edifier contacted me and wanted me to take a look at their mr4 studio monitor speakers and I do not have them in front of me here because I went ahead and hooked them up to my television downstairs now these are extremely versatile speakers so what I'll do is I'll go ahead and show you some b-roll of the speakers of the different features as I'm talking about them but these are highly configurable so there's three different connection modes there's RCA there's TRS which is kind of like for a headphone or for your smartphone so you can plug in the sound three different ways to get input into the speakers and then for output of the speakers you can obviously use them as speakers but they also have headphone monitoring so you can switch between headphone monitoring and speaker just general speaker output now I have them downstairs on my television like I said and they've one thing that I want you to make sure that you realize is that they are studio monitor speakers so they don't have like a remote control like a standard Soundbar or something like that so if you want to have that sound and turn it on you're going to have to manually go over and push the button now the reason that I have them downstairs is because I really wanted to test them out I don't have a great desk I I do here but I don't use this desk that much for anything with good audio on it um what I'm planning to do behind me in 2024 is to go ahead and set up another full desk here which I will go ahead and bring those speakers up and connect them and when I do that I'll give another sort of full review on those speakers so you can kind of hear uh kind of see how they hook up see how they sort of fit on the desk but I will tell you what they're absolutely beautiful and I've been absolutely Blown Away by the sound they have 1in silk Dome tweeters 4in low frequency drivers and a high performance 42 W class D power amplifiers now that doesn't mean that I know everything about audio and I'm not going to say that hey that's awesome or that's great but from the sound and the ears that I have watching stuff on my TV went from basically like a mono output to just an incredible sound so I'm really excited to bring them up here and put them on the desk and if you pick these up for someone on your list they are going to be extremely excited okay so next on my list is phone protection now I happen to have something here that we can actually unbox as we go here magb back went ahead and sent over a magsafe compatible phone case as well as a magb wallet that goes onto the back of the phone case let's go ahead and open these up and check them out so it's very nice I went ahead and got the gray version and then like I said they also sent over this mag safe wallet so it's compatible with mag safe cases mag stash and mag safe um it is their patented technology and so let me go ahead and open this up and I went ahead and got the brown leather one um typically when I get a wallet or something I don't like to get a Black Version because I'll set it down somewhere and not be able to find it and this will sort of stick out and it also looks really nice here with the gray case so basically what you do is you go ahead and just toss it on it automatically connects and the magnet is very very very strong now I've used some in the past where I felt like the second I'm going to go ahead and use this that it's just going to fall off and I'm going to lose any cards that's in there in this particular case it this one comes with sort of like this finger hold so if you like to have something to keep your phone in your hand and connect it to your finger you can do that and it's strong enough to keep it connected to your phone so what I'll go ahead and do right now is take my phone take off my old case here which I actually just bought on a whim because I my phone was coming like the next day and I needed it right away and I haven't gotten a replacement since but if I go ahead and toss my phone in here so now if we go ahead and do this you can see now I oh it wants to call 911 um so yeah so now I've got myself set up here with the mag with the mag back wallet and again if you want to take it off you just take it off you can put your cards in here and pull them out that way um you can push them up from the bottom here as you can see and like I said it's just as simple as popping it onto the back of the case like that so I'm super happy with this I'm going to make sure to continue to use this so another thing I want to point out is that this comes with a very special accessory okay so this is considered their mag stick what this allows you to do is basically take this very small very Slimline magnet that is super duper strong but basically it has a 3M backing on here that you can pull off put this in your car and what you will be able to do is take your phone and pop it onto your dashboard and it'll stay there and this little magnet is so strong it's actually it's difficult for me to pull off with my hand from here but when you're pulling it off of something like a car you just kind of slide it off and it'll come off real easy so again across the board this is such a multi-functional case that I'm going to go ahead and hook this up in my car I'm going to use this on the back here because I actually like to have something to be able to hold the Pham like that but across the board if you're looking at sort of a good multi-functional case mine's an iPhone 15 Pro but they have the full range of iPhone cases that you can look at they have Samsung and Google pixel cases all this stuff comes in a full wide range so and again thank you to them for sending this over enough about that next on the list is gaming mouses okay gaming mice gaming me feel free to correct me down below I'll call it mouses for now um I've got three different options here I don't have the right in front of me cuz I'm using them on each one of my computers the first one I want to talk about and I'll throw up some images here um are is the razor death at our essential gaming mouse so when I started getting into gaming mouses I just wanted to get something that was inexpensive I didn't want to spend $1 $150 on on a gaming mouse I wanted one from a reputable company that was inexpensive I think I got it around 24 bucks and that would work really good so this one has been absolutely awesome I have it's it is a little bit bigger Mouse so I that's why I have multiple options here I'm going to show you it has 60 it has a 6400 DPI digital sensor and that uh their software will allow you to actually change the different DPI to based on what you want the buttons are mechanical switches they're not just regular membrane switches so you hear that click and you feel that click when you're using the mouse and each one of the buttons is programmable there's about five buttons on there so it is the super base line of a mouse if you're looking to get something for someone uh maybe for a stocking stuffer they will love this mouse it works great I've had no problems with it but if you're looking to step it up just a little bit you can go for the LTC GM 041 wired gaming mouse so this one was a great addition and in fact the reason it's not here on my desk it's my because my son is downstairs using it right now and I didn't want to have to yank it off his computer I'll put some more pictures up there of it while I go through some of the features of it but LTC um they make this keyboard that I have on my desk the Nimble back um and their products are great I love that company and everything that they have the things that I've had from them have never uh I've never had problems with they've always continued to work and they're good good quality construction the cool thing about this particular Mouse it also has the 6400 DP uh adjustable with five different levels um it also has a thumb scroll wheel so if you're using a mouse you know you can use your thumb to scroll with as well as your finger from the middle Mouse button um it has a thumb scroll on the side it has seven programmable buttons and also one of the things that I really like is that it has DET it has detachable finger rests so you can basically put them on and uh take them off based on how you use your mouse so that's another awesome option very affordable great for a gift um and then the third gaming mouse on this list is a super duper budget option it is the DI Mouse I have it right here on my desk and I did a full review on this one too I actually purchased this one myself uh because I also wanted another option right so this is a very very budget option and it works great this one actually has up to a 12,800 DPI with adjustable levels using their software it has six programmable buttons two here on the side these two also this DPI button the scroll wheel button all can be programmed using their software it has custom customizable RGB right now I just have it on this green color that I think sort of uh can rotate between different colors or I I'm not exactly sure which what setting I currently have it on and I really liked oh yeah you can see it's changing now to a different color and I really like this honeycomb pattern there was something I wanted to check out and the reason they do this um from my understanding is that it is for lightness so it's a very very light Mouse I've been using it on my computer here I'm sure you've seen it in multiple videos but it's another great option so there are three great gaming mouse options for your person that you're buying for to put under the tree it just basically depends on which one you want to pick up and use but each one of them would be very very solid very sturdy very reliable and have no issues so um I would most definitely recommend all three of them so the next on the list is earbuds now I've reviewed a bunch of earbuds and I've used a bunch of earbuds but the three that I have actually really enjoyed this year are these three here on the desk okay two of them will buy sound Pats and one of them will buy more so the more earbuds I just took on my trip for about 8 days and I used them every single day and this charging case kept them charged on the flight there every single day on the trip now I didn't use them 24 hours a day I used them maybe 2 three hours a day and then on the flight back so the good thing about this is that they are sort of the in ear earbuds if you like something like that so they have hybrid ANC for the noise uh adaptive noise cancelling and they also have a transparency mode which I'm a big fan of so again on the trip that I was on I was on a cruise and I would be sitting out around and I have family members we had 15 people on this Cruise right and I like the idea that if I had these in my ears the transparency mode lets sound come in uh but it doesn't obstruct the sound of what you're listening to so I'm watching a YouTube video or something like that I can hear someone come up and say hey Carl uh what's up and then I can hear them and then I'm not just sitting there it seems like I'm ignoring them so for a great budget pair of earbuds the more wireless earbuds are awesome um and then the other two are from sound PS I'm sure you've seen these reviews on my site we have the airs and the air Pros um the main difference that I have seen both have set both have the Snapdragon the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon sound technology both have Lo lossless sound and their appx voice technology which makes them both sound incredible I mean the main difference that I've seen a is the cases are a little bit different so that's not that big of a deal but the pros are the in ear earbuds that you can see here and the regular air fours are the sort of similar to airpods where they sort of sit in your ear so you can kind of see the difference here I haven't noticed any difference really in the quality of the sound except for this will totally close off your ear and this allows a little bit more ambient noise to come in but nothing that affects the quality but for the price and quick tip here always check something like Amazon um because they're always having sales on these especially near Christmas um right now there's a 30% off sale these are are a little on the higher end but getting 30% off or getting an awesome on sale deal for these is perfect and I would most definitely recommend them uh across the board great option for a Christmas gift so most definitely check these out but that's about it hope you hopefully you found something in this guide that'll help you for that person on your list uh if this helped you let me know in the comments what you're going to pick up give me a thumbs up give me a like but until next time this is Carl from techville goodies and I'm out
