Anker 2 4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse Review


This is my honest 4g review of the Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse.

I bought the Anker mouse for ergonomic reasons.  I was experiencing tennis elbow quite severely and wasn't able to use my computer or operate normally with a gimp arm.   The vertical design of the Anker mouse helps alleviate that issue.  Holding it feels natural, like giving someone a handshake.   I obviously chose to go with the optical wireless version.  Nobody be using a wired mouse in 2020!

The 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse has a number of buttons on it.  The regular mouse buttons and scroll  bar are on right side of the mouse, while the page forward and backwards buttons are on the left.  At the top of the mouse is the DPI changer, where you can choose how sensitive you want the mouse to be, or how "responsive" you want the mouse to be to your movement. You can choose between 800 1200, & 1600 DPI. I tend to like the mouse to be set on the 1200 DPI setting. 

After trying several different mice, I found that this was the best one for the budget.  This mouse is comfortable and I am completely in love with it.   The vertical ergonomic design took no time to adapt to. 

After reading a few reviews on Amazon, I figured I had better add a note to my review of the Anker 2.4G wireless vertical ergonomic optical mouse.   I have large hands, and regular mice are never big enough.  They put lots of strain on my wrist and forearm and make it feel like stiff jelly.   The Anker's ergonomic design works really well for me and my gigantic hands.  Anker mouse + giant hands = happy combo.   However, if you are a person with small hands I don't believe that the Anker vertical ergonomic mouse is your best choice.  Anker has many other mice you might like to check out.  

I picked the Anker 2.4G wireless vertical erganomic optical mouse up on Amazon.  It was definitely worth the money and on the top of my best recent purchases list.  This mouse is fantastic for people with large hands that suffer from tennis elbow. I apologies that I did not film the unboxing of the Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse, there was not much to see by the way. 

Get the wireless mouse with the usb port.  Nobody wants a wired mouse anymore.

Marcy 3 Tier Dumbbell Rack Review Best 3 Tier Dumbbell Storage Rack


#gym #weightrack #reviews
Marcy's 3-tier dumbbell storage rack is a great product. This dumbbell rack is a no frills, sturdy, sleek looking piece of equipment. What more could you really want from a weight rack for a home gym? Assembling the dumbbell rack was easy. The Marcy 3-tier weight rack is a bit heavy, so you may require help with unboxing it. But I figure, you're buying a weight rack to store dumbbells on.... you can probably handle a little elbow grease with assembly. The instructions for the dumbbell rack were clear and easy to understand. It took me about 25 minutes to set it up by myself. I have it racked up with some pretty heavy weights and the rack seems to be holding together very well. I've tried it with the heavy weights on the top rack, and vice versa, and it holds together well regardless. I believe with two racks you could easily accommodate a full set of dumbbells. I do not have a full set of weights, only what I need at the moment. As time progresses, I may need to get two racks and complete my dumbbell collection for my home gym. One rack should hold up to 45lb in dumbbell pairs. The Marcy 3-tier dumbbell rack is available on amazon. I paid about $200 Canadian for it. A great price for a professional rack, and a great addition to a home gym! This rack has really cleaned up my apartment pace. Before, I had the weights sitting loosely on the ground. Not very ideal, or roommate friendly. It's also made doing a workout much more enjoyable. Funny how you feel more "gym vibe"y"" when things look more professional. Having a weight stand to rack your weights on saves time and energy during a workout. At the same time that I had bought this rack, I had another home weight rack offered to me by a friend. It was a two tier rack with dumbbell holding slides down the side as well. All in all, it was a great rack for storage too, however it just didn't look as professional, and did not seem as sturdy as Marcy's 3 Tier rack. Marcy's has a nice ash grey matted cover that just made it look cleaner. to me, Marcy's dumbbell rack is the clear winner for weight storage. If you're building a home gym, I highly recommend it as your dumbbell weight rack. As mentioned earlier, the Marcy 3-tier dumbbell weight storage rack is available on amazon. It shipped right to my door, which is the best! I have Amazon prime, so shipping was FREE! Which is great, because this rack would have cost a fortune to pay shipping on. It isn't the lightest piece of equipment, which I attribute to it's sturdiness. I believe the Marcy 3-tier dumbbell weight rack to be one of, if not the best choice for home gyms. The price, the convenience of having the rack shipped right to your door, the ease of assembling the weigh rack, and and the professional look of the unit make it a winner! I love this 3-tier multilevel organizer! For my review I'll add the the bottom corners of the weight racks legs are covered in plastic caps. This helps it from sliding around and also prevents it from marking up the floors. The Marcy 3-tier dumbbell rack it held together with thick nuts and bolts. It's is recommended in the assembly instructions to use two adjustable wrenches. The weight rack it made with solid steel metal, not cheap plastic parts! I believe that the Marcy 3-tier dumbbell weight rack is probably the best bang for you buck if you have lot's of dumbbells to rack. More than just a metal stand, it's the best home gym rack available on Amazon.

Keurig K Mini Coffee Maker Review - Keurig K Mini Demo

This is my honest review & demo of the Keurig K mini coffee maker. I love this little coffee maker.  It saves so much space for me in my tiny already cluttered kitchen.  Not having to deal with coffee filters and grinds after making a  fresh cup of Java is also a great bonus!  I do highly recommend buying compostable or decomposable Keurig pods however.  Any others I have tried have actually been kind of a pain in the ass because the foil covering the top is difficult to remove and comes off in shreds.  The grinds tend to go all all over the the place is the process.  The you have to rinse it out, and then put it in the recycling.....  A lot of steps that cab be avoided if you just get compostable Keurig coffee pods instead. 

I apologies that I did not do an unboxing.  It truly wasn't very memorable.  When you first get the Keurig you'll have to do a cycle of just water to "clean" it before actual use. Beyond that there wasn't really anything you needed to assemble.  

This little machine has saved me so much money in wasted coffee. I used to make a pot every morning, and maybe have a cup or two before heading the the gym.  By the time I would return home, the pot would be empty (thanks roommates!) and all the grinds and mess would be left for me to deal with. It was VERY frustrating.  With the Keurig Coffee maker however, I get just what I need and don't have to worry about anyone else's inability to fend for themselves.  You brew yourself a single serve cup of Java in a couple of minutes with this coffee making machine of love.   Then you throw the pod into your compost container, mix your cream and sugar and you're set for coffee bliss!

The only downside I can see from having and using the Keurig K mini Coffee Maker is that  of the environmental impacts it has.  It takes, I'm assuming, a lot more resources, and creates a much larger carbon footprint, making the coffee pods then it does to just have coffee bought loose.   Plus, you are creating more waste if you're not disposing of the pods properly.   Is that better?  You'll have to decide for yourself.  

For me, the reason I decided to buy a Keurig Coffee Maker was for saving space, and to spare myself the aggravation of playing barista to my roommates.   I like the difference in the Keurig to making a pot of coffee in that it saves me time and money.  Plus, this little brewer has the ability to make the entire apt smell like a coffee shop with just one cup of coffee!  I love it.
