Partially satisfied.......2007-09-11

I like the fact that this notebook light is light in weight, very flexible and convenient. But I had expected much more illumination than I got. It does help to see the keyboard when typing in dark, but that is all...nothing more.

Too Floppy.......2007-09-04

I don't know if this is a chronic problem or if I'm just unlucky, but mine doesn't hold it's position--it just flops down sideways, rendering it more or less useless.

Good.......2007-08-10

Found that this light works pretty well for what I intended it's use for. I especially like the dimming feature. I do find the light is a bit harsh and that with black keys on my notebook, I need to place the light directly above the keyboard. The light then tends to block my screen. But, all and all, I'm pleased with it.

Would not work and customer service blew me off !!.......2007-05-30

I emailed Kensington customer service to see if they could troubleshoot...find out if my particular USB port on my laptop would be a reason why this light didn't work... They did not even address my question and suggested I return it...well, that is not an easy task for all of us..

I would rather have found out more....eventually, I will return the item but I will not reorder..from a company that refuses to discuss it...

Simply great !.......2007-05-27

A must for any portable owner who needs light in a darkest environment. The light beam covers just a part of the keyboard.

Works but is too focused.......2007-05-17

The USB White Dual Led Light works as advertised with sufficient light to read the keyboard in low light situations. Having seen a variety of USB light devices, I find that this one focuses most of the light in an area about 2 inches in diameter and lights it brightly. From that point outward, the light become more diffuse and dimmer the farther away frpm that position that you look.
It is longish and needs to be folded or bent to fit in a 15 inch laptop bag pocket. Weight is not an issue as far as adding to the total weight of your computer and peripherals.
I would recommend it as being good for the price.

Good inexpensive product.......2007-05-07

The dual led made a good illuminated area for a nb keyboard or text page. The flexible, adjustable body work as expected.

USB White dual led light.......2007-03-27

Great light. Convenient, out of the way, there when I need it. Well worth the $...

Great bright light.......2007-02-24

I have gone through two other brand lights and was about to give up finding a good one. This one is definitely a cut above. The two LEDs are bright. The on/off switch is a plus. Overall the light is compact and well constructed. I have used my light for a couple of months now and it seems to be holding up well. My other two lights started flickering and went out after a month or two.

Does the job - mostly..........2007-01-04

Works well, just has a rather limited light foot-print. Considerable adjustment is required to find the optimal position (not hiding the screen yet illuminating maximum keybord area). It appears to be well-made, excellent price, worth it!

Its great !!!.......2007-08-27

Its just as promised and more over, the fan is really awesome and doesn't really impact your battery when you are on battery alone.

It Works!!!.......2007-08-11

Don't have Air Conditioning but this little fan kept me comfortable during 90+ hot humid days - no sweat running down my face. The light is an extra to me & they just plug into USB ports so no extra electricity is being used.

No switch and expensive.......2007-07-15

Fan works well. It creates a nice quiet breeze that effectively cools your face while working on a laptop or a PC with a monitor that has a USB plug. The fan does not have a switch allowing you to turn it off. Also less expensive fans have not only an on/off switch but a light in the tip of the fan to keep you aware that the fan is on so you don't startle yourself if you put your hand in the blades. If you do put your hand in the blades, the most that can happen is being startled.

The light is effective at illuminating the keyboard of your laptop or allowing you to see behind your desktop PC. Again, there is no switch to turn it off, if you are planning to use it permanently plugged in.

The fan will not cool a hot PC and the light will not illuminate your desk.

Together, I think they are expensive. You can get really inexpensive versions with switches that will last as long and allow you more flexibility in use.

Affordable and reliable........2007-01-10

I purchased this USB light/fan combo mainly for the fan. I'm one of those guys who is a human heater -- always a little warmer than everyone else. I use this fan when I'm studying in the library, on the computer at a coffee shop or even at home using my laptop at the desk. It provides a nice little jet of air right at my face which makes me feel cooler all over. I can even direct it right in front of me and only the nose of the rotor head is visible because when the fan is running, of course, you can see right through the blades. The fan runs quietly too. I've had a couple of times when the fan is making a bit of a noise or isn't running a quickly as normal. I just pop off the rotor head, adjust the blades a bit (they are flexible vinyl and I give them a little twist and a crease to make them more rigid as they sometimes get bent in my carrying case), pop the rotor head back on and it's good as new again.

While I like this product a lot, I doubt with frequent use that it will last much more than a year but I still think it's well worth it. My only regret is that I didn't order two or three of these for future back-ups if needed.

The light works well too. It does not illuminate the entire keyboard but in a dark setting it does provide enough illumination for the typical user (a hunt and peck typist may be frustrated but I think it may be enough light for that kind of visibility as well) and definitely enough light to read from a book or hard copy document.

Lasted 1 month.......2006-07-14

This product looked light it was one of the best made USB lights/fans out there except the light and the fan burned out after 1 month of use because of overheating.

Notebook light.......2007-09-10

The light works, but they forgot to mention that it is BRILLIANT BLUE!
When contacted Amazon they referred me to the subcontractor, who did not respond to my email.
They however sent me a solicitation to recommend them to Amazon.
I don't think so!

This part number is for the Blue LED version.......2007-08-29

I was wondering why Amazon had this part listed twice, and now I know. The A2126 is the White LED version, while the A2127 is the Blue LED version. Did not know this when I ordered this part. I was expecting the White version and got the Blue. I am still keeping the part as the blue light works with my desktop setup. The light is solidly built and heavier than I expected. Most of the weight is due to the metal neck construction, and it allows for a greater variety of positioning than I have seen with other similar lights.

I love the way the light twists but it DOES NOT give off enough light to be effective. It does not even light up the entire keyboard. It was not what I was expecting.

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07

After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.

The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.

If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02

After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.

Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08

We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.

From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.

For us it didn't.

We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.

So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.

However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.

For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).

Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08

My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.

I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Flexible, Mobile & Fierceful .......2007-05-13

Love this laptop speakers!! My laptop speakers suck so much that this little guy just gives me the wonderful sound my laptop deserves!! I highly recommend it!!
