Is there something that you absolutely love? Like a product or service that you cannot recommend enough? I want to hear about it. I just posted a review of my new favorite desk lamp (yes really).

But the Nerdery has a wealth of info on cool and useful tools, gadgets, toys, and products. I'd love to see some more reviews of stuff on here. Its where I come to for info on products whenever I can.

So throw your recs down below and tell us why you love it. Also kindly add a link so when know where to find it.

Ultra Sabers, great custom light sabers built in the Houston area.

My wife got me one that you can change blade colors and sounds with just a gesture. Amazing quality and features.

Peeps Eyeglass/sunglass cleaners.

I have bought these for every person I know as a stocking stuffer. They are amazing. Cleans both sides at the same time and is very portable. I've not found an eyeglass cleaner that works as well as these. Seriously the best.

I've been eyeballing (pardon the pun) these for a few years, but I just never pulled the trigger. I just ordered one based on your recommendation. Keeping my lenses clean is almost to the point of OCD with me.

I cleaned my father in laws glasses and he thought it had removed all the scratches from them. They were just incredibly dirty but he thought they were magic.

GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 Secure Travel WiFi Router

Keep it in my travel backpack. Worked fantastic on my family cruise last week for sharing 1 purchased internet connection with all 5 of us in our cabins.

I have a different version from same company and it's great. Bridge to Hotel WiFi then connect your VPN to the router. All your devices connect to router wifi and get VPN.

How does it connect to the hotel Internet? Does it have to be hardwired?

Nope, it is both wireless and wired. For wireless you log into its control panel and tell it which wifi signal you want it to connect to. If it requires a login after, it will open a browser window and let you log in. Then the router is the only device on the hotel network and you connect all your devices to the router. Its also really nice in that you can vpn from the router itself so you connection can be secured without having to vpn on every device. You can also set up a private vpn to your home for example to watch streaming as if you were at home.

I got my son a basic $100 one for making all A's in second grade.

He's going into 4th now and came up earlier today and said "Dad, can we build up another one of these? I think we need another one"

"Oh, we need another one, huh? So we can battle?"

"No, dad, because I think it would be awesome to dual wield them."

".......OK"

Elgato Stream Deck is so much better than I thought it would be. I originally thought it was just for people who wanted to stream, but I ended up buying one to try it out and I love this thing. I hate having icons on my desktop, so this moves them to a different device. There are a lot of things you can do with it, to the point I saw a video of someone wearing it on their wrist and having it programmed to do the direction buttons in Helldivers 2, similar to the character in the game. Awesome device.

Have been eyeing one of these as well for work productivity reasons. I started experimenting with AutoHotKey (mostly for fast text entry) but am wanting to start using macros for repetitive tasks (even if just for things like navigating to certain file paths, opening certain apps/files, etc.).

I use my laptop as my primary keyboard working from home and this little stand makes a surprising difference in wrist comfort. It's since been updated but the original version that I have and love is marked down at Amazon.
