Who did you vote for?
Don’t remember. It was some election for the Virginia board. Governor and a few other things.
Ughuugh! Steamgifts has been down all day, I’m missing on so many chances of joining the giveaways to get Scribblenauts and Arkham Asylum for free >
I broke my razer abyssus mouse, and now I have to use some of the money I was going to use for a laptop to buy a new gaming mouse… fuck.
Just use a regular mouse, like most people I have a cheapy one that works just fine, although I do tend to wear the wheel way faster than I should.
I’ve had this cheapo GE mouse I’ve been using for about 4 years now. Still going strong.
oh ffs, i’m listening to beautiful music and all of a sudden youtube decides im not allowed to play the last third of the song
screw you google
Why don’t you just open the mouse and solder a new cable? I do it all the time to my peripherals and headphones so I never have to buy more than a cable for 0.99$.
Besides, I’m curious - what kind of mouse costs as much as a laptop, really? That may be kind of expensive…
No no, not as much as the laptop, I’m just a poorfuck who has to save money for a long time before I can buy anything. Buying the mouse set me back quite a bit, but not a lot, thank goodness.
Nothing wrong with the cable, it’s the LMB button that got fucked.
Never seen one that expensive. Most average Razors cost around $150 USD for the top quality ones.
The cable may not be the only thing wrong with it fyi… Some of those components inside of the mouse and other peripherals have microsolders smaller than you can possibly make by yourself. I tried to repair my last set of headphones, and monitor (when it fried) and gave up for that reason. That and the monitor needed specialized parts which would be just as expensive to get as it would be to buy a new monitor.
$150 for a fucking mouse? really? come on…
a cheapass MS mouse or whatever is perfectly fine for gaming, really
though I’ve been using my (second hand) €25 MX518 happily for about four years now
all i’ve had to do is open it up and clean it a little
The reason they’re so expensive is that they have precision lasers and software to use with the hardware. It’s not your average mouse.
Keep telling yourself that
[COLOR=‘DarkSlateGray’]lazoooors
it’s still a mouse though
besides that, it probably costs less than 10$ to produce
edit: more w8 rage
why would i want stupid background processes doing stuff like checking on programs that i’m opening, slowing down the system for things my brain can do perfectly fine on its own
Depends on the precision of the laser you want. You got any idea how much those LEDs cost?
Some people want that precision in gaming so they can pick you off from across the map using a sniper rifle for instance. I know this because I play with quite a few of them and I have a shitty 3 year old mouse and can barely keep up.
I used to, too. I didn’t have that much trouble keeping up with my mx518. In as far as I did, it was mostly because I wasn’t quite as good as them.
still think it’s ridiculous for anyone but actual professional gamers to spend so much money on such a basic device though
Agreed, though I want one for the sole fact that I can stick it to those mean bastards with less effort.
why is my internet being so slooooooooooooooooooooooooow half the time ffs
to make things worse, my ISP had the brilliant idea this year to make a custom router which is only accessible through their website, so no internet = no troubleshooting
dimwitted motherfucker$
and apparently it’s too much to ask to just send my login details to the email address where i get the billing when i forget
i have to remember or look for shit that should have it printed or something
