Must have been on sale when I bought it

Seems fine at 3A

It does seem like most of the Anker batteries cost more than around what that monoprice costs but it does seem like the Anker batteries are nicer.  (Though I must admit the cheap price of the monoprice battery is tempting.)

 

Like this sexy beast:

I have one of these and I love it.  It can completely charge my iPad Air from dead to full almost 2 times and its per port amp limit and total amp output are high enough that I could charge my iPad Air, iPhone SE, and my Switch all at full speed at the same time.  

 

As if that wasn't cool enough it has dual charging inputs so it charges much faster than other battery packs its size and even faster than a 13,000mah Anker battery I also own.

2 slices of pepperoni pizza, meatballs from 7-eleven, plus I stole about 20 minutes worth of 15A power worth about $0.15

I love pepperoni pizza.  Maybe a little too much.  ?

 

Care to explain that last part?  lol

I just finally got a Logitech K830 (It says K830 TV on the box) wireless keyboard.  

 

I've only used it for a few minutes so far but it seem pretty nice though the keys feel weird vs a normal desktop keyboard.  Not bad but certainly different.  

 

@Drak3 We're keyboard twins now.  lol

It has a rechargeable battery.  That's cool.  It's nice not to need batteries for things.

Don't know if it counts, because I the purchase was cancelled by the shop... but here it is:

 

This thingie https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-ARMOR-6G-OC.html#hero-overview

Was as daily deal at KM Computer. I was at the in Laws about 500 miles from home, KM got a shop near and they had this as 0.00€ Deal. So I ordered one for pickup the next day. Even checked several browsers if it was an error on the Page.

 

Later in the following morning they sent an email that the price was an error on their side and they switched the order to an offer with another price 319,- € ... So I declined sadly. Would have been a great deal =) 

 

Some dealers stay true to the orders they received until they correct the price. KM doesn't. A pity. would have loved to put that into my machine.

yeah battery life is awesome but you have to go into software if you want to lock it so you can use f1-f12 permanently and i wish the backlight would stay on a little bit longer after typing

You mean without having to press the function key to use f1-f12?

 

I did notice the backlight turns off pretty fast.

yeah when standard you have to press fn to use f11 for example and if you want to switch it so the media functions require fn and f11 doesnt, you can, but not on the keyboard, only in software.

 

yeah ive made it a habbit to hit strg in the dark just too activate backlilght (im not one of those blind typing experts)

It's a nice thought but those are very overpriced for how little they add to total battery life.  

 

A a better option would be a small Anker battery pack (under $20 USD) and a nice Anker braided nylon lightning cable (about $12-15 USD and much cheaper than a less nice Apple brand cable btw)

 

You'd be able to completely recharge any iPhone at least one full time likely more and save a lot of money.  Simply for not having the battery in the phone case.

 

Check out Anker's website if you'd ever be interested.  I've got multiple Anker battery packs and love them.  

 

 

Though having an extra battery on the phone could be rather convenient. 

I got the case 15$ new lol

Very nice!  I want to start collecting old graphics cards.  That would be fun.  

 

 

It works I hope?

Goodwill, I went there and In a glass case the battery case. When I checked the box it was completely unsealed, Never opened. I tested the battery and it did charge my mother's iPhone 6 Plus to about 64% from dead so its still doing well. I actually recommend going there if you have a semi popular phone to find a case since the most expensive ones are barely 20$

Do you mean it was unopened?  As in the seal was intact.

 

That might not be a bad idea.  Even though my SE is a current model places like Hottopic don't have phone cases for it...

 

Not that I don't like my Sailor Moon phone case but I miss my Sword Art Online case that broke...

Not everyone is mean like that.  I've actually gotten a few compliments from the occasional person who recognizes what's on my case.  ?

Ive gotten a few "Wtf" out of people because of my keychain (its a Hatsune Miku one). I really dont need more of those. If you gave me a chance to get either a Hyperdimension Neptunia case or a AMD case 9 times out of 10 ill take the AMD one because I wont be judged as hard. Its harsh to like anime where I live

Do you mind if I ask approximately where you live?

 

AMD?  They don't make phone cases for that do they?  lol
