Great new Gadgets with a summer theme

Both mouse and keyboard performed well in all basic functions. I mentioned the mouse already. The keyboard is also quite comfortable as well as portable due to its lightweight. Batteries however seem to go much faster than they should. Obviously it depends on how much you are using it but at what I consider average usage they only lasted a couple of weeks which is below average.
But all the features in the world would be worthless if the Roar didn't have its incredible sound capability. I have reviewed speakers that cost $100 to $200 more that didn't have the quality of sound that the roar has. Connectivity is also fantastic. I've used it with my laptop and smart phone easily 40 feet away without the connection being dropped. Simply a must have item for any audiophile!
The unit isn't the most user friendly when it comes to wanting to make song changes while swimming. It has an unwieldy button to unlock the unit to you can switch songs and frankly it's a pain in the butt. While the waterproof capability was solid the sound is average to slightly below average at best. Frankly I would have expected better at a $42 price point. The waterproof ability isn't enough to override the sound quality. The radio, on certain stations, became staticy under water as well. It's an ok unit for kids though.
