My list of favorites for the year includes the Patriot Viper V370 RGB 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset, EVGA Z270 FTW K Motherboard and the EVGA Geforce GTX1080 Ti FTW3.
 The Patriot Viper V370 RGB at first, I thought were just regular headsets, but the sound quality is amazing and I can hear people and vehicles coming well before anyone else with much more expensive headphones, what’s best is that they are affordable.
 The EVGA Z270 FTW K motherboard has a ton of great features, overclockability and best of all, stability. I only wish it had more USB Ports.
 Lastly, the EVGA Geforce GTX1080 Ti FTW3 is such a beast of a card, beautiful, feature rich and power to run anything at Ultimate settings even at 4K.

 Romoss 6P PowerBank – This is great for me because in our house we have 5 tablets and 3 phones and more this helps keep everything tidy while charging. Also saves up space not having everything laid out all over the place.
 NTONPOWER Charging Station – This is great for me because in our house we have 5 tablets and 3 phones and more this helps keep everything tidy while charging. Also saves up space not having everything laid out all over the place
 U-need Sleep Headphones – I use this every night. I listen to ASMR when sleeping and these are so light weight and comfortable. I have had no tangle issues and no sound issues. Love these.

For 2017 my favorite list of products includes the following.
 Drocon MJX Bugs 3 – I chose this as one of my top products due to price and ease of use. The drone is very versatile and easy to fly. You can see my video of the Bugs 3 if you want to see for yourself.
 AVerMedia Live Gamer portable 2 – I picked this because of the ease of use with recording from a console or live streaming. Make it easy to plug and play and record right to the SDCard also and a must if you want to record or stream Nintendo Switch games.
 WOWOTO H8 Projector – This makes viewing movies on a large screen easy. This can also be used to play games on. It is a great projector and also is a nice small size as well.

 Jackie said her favorite product she tested in 2017 was the Wynd Air Purifier, which cleans the air immediately around her while letting her keep track of the air and where it is the cleanest. |

My list of favorites of the year 2017 include Silverstone ES02-USB, Tt eSPORT Nemesis Switch, Apacer AS720 SSD. Honorable mention: Sennheisser PC373D Headphone.
Apacer AS720 SSD – The Apacer AS720 SSD is a dual interface SSD that features both Sata ports for internal connectivty and USB 3.1 Type-C port for external connection. Moving gigabytes of files at an incredible speed has never been so easy.
Silverstone ES02-USB – The Silverstone ES02-USB is a great tool that lets you power on and off your system from a distance wirelessly. Also very helpful when you have your system in a congested space. The installation is very easy as well.
Tt eSPORTS Nemesis Switch RGB Mouse – The Tt eSPORTS Swtich RGB is a great mouse that features an interesting rolling key switch design that holds up to 12 keys on left side. The mouse is also very comfortable for palm-grip users and has a very good price. |

For my top products in 2017 I went with the products that I use months even after the review is finished. Products that just I find value in that is well beyond the cost and is a return on investment for that type of technology.
Logitech G910 Orion Spark – This is the ultimate gaming keyboard to me as not only does it have 9 G keys which are fully programmable but each individual key can be backlit to any color. It also has presets for some favorite games and you can have profiles and key color combinations for games. You get a slider wheel to control volume which is a huge plus as well as multimedia buttons and an Arx Dock which is a slot to put your phone or tablet and control your keyboard with the mobile app. The Romer-G switch keys are unique to Logitech and the only thing to get used to is the way the keys recess in the center which means your fingers never accidentally slip off of them, but when touch typing you have to lift them a little higher which takes some getting used to.
PlayStation 4 Pro with Horizon Zero Dawn – I would just mention the console as being an incredible gaming console, but combined with Horizon: Zero Dawn it is outstanding. Horizon: Zero Dawn was my favorite game for 2017 and it was very close with Nier: Automata coming in 2nd. This console for me was the best bang for the buck and I am most looking forward to Monster Hunter World in 2018.
