HonWally Wired Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo

I must first start off by saying I love anything bright, shiny and vibrantly colored which was why this keyboard and mouse set caught my eye. This is a great basic set for any use – not just for gaming. I can see how kids would be attracted to it because of the back lighting on the keyboard and the mouse which I secretly love (ok, so maybe not a secret now ha!). You can shut the lighting on the keyboard off with a touch of a button which I really liked because the lights can be distracting. They are great when you are working in the dark.

I only used it on my PC so I can’t speak to how it works for a MAC. All I had to do to get started was to plug it in my USB port, wait for the installer and I was good to go. I had no issues typing or using the mouse immediately upon plugging in.

The keyboard is very lightweight – my keyboard at the office is heavier so if you have a laptop and want to plug the keyboard in, it won’t be heavy to lug around. I used the mouse like I would a regular mouse with no issues. Overall I would say performance was great, I’ve never used it to play games with but my husband did and said it was a great basic mouse.

I think this is a great set to have for general use or casual gaming. I know lots of people who are serious gamers and have very high tech mice to play games.


HonWally Wired Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo Bundle with Rainbow Color Backlight is available on Amazon.

Review: Snakable Micro-USB to USB Cable



It seems as though everything lately needs a USB cable so when I was provided the opportunity try Snakable I jumped at the chance to try it out. I am so tired of cheap USB cables falling apart at the connector. Until now. For those that don't know Snakable was a Kickstarter back in 2014 that was fully backed. 

Snakable works for both Apple and Android with rotating "armor" that protects the connectors from baking. You can twist and turn them -- it reminds me of a ball joint so it doesn't bend the cable sharply and break. This cord is super long too approximately 48" long so you don't have to worry about it being too short. There have been so many fantastic things written in publications like TechCrunch where you can read more about the history of Snakable due to their Kickstarter.  

I leave this in my work bag and use it all the time, especially when I travel in between offices and always need a USB cable for something.Snakable cords are available on Amazon and other retailers.


I no longer need to duct tape my cables with electrical tape. I've been using this cable for approximately 8 months with absolutely no issues.

This has worked with my Kindle, Nook, Phone and my portable USB music player. It works with everything!

I love this cable!
