A USB key which has two ends, one USB and the other Micro USB.

Though the plastic cap is looser than I want, this has a solid construction. However, it is NOT 60MB/s read, 25MB/s write!

This is a fantastic item.

I got one black and one gold. The black looks great. The gold is okay-looking.

Very solid. Almost metal. Good grip.

The cap stays on tightly.

The MicroSD card goes in the “nose” of the reader, and is easy to insert/remove.

It’s easy to pull out of a computer, even though it is fairly small.

Tiko is a unibody 3d printer which I backed.

To get this working, I had to really push hard to get the filament to load. This was a frustrating first experience. I was then entirely unimpressed with the quality of its prints, even after a lot of fiddling.

Later, when I returned to use it, it seems that filament has snapped off inside it, and it thinks its loaded and will not load new filament. Heating does not remove it. I fiddled a lot, once more.. I’m giving up on it, it’s garbage.

I did end up fixing it.. after giving it away.

See Tiko first impressions. It fails, hard.

It requires a wireless internet connection.

aka NZXT CS-NT-H2-B or H2-001-BK

Conclusion: Seems great!

NZXT H2 Silent Mid-Sized Tower

I snapped off the front door, tried to glue it on and then snapped it off again. While it’s not fragile as fuck, I’m clumsy and it’s not very well made.
