Good luck with the G710. Pretty much turned me off of Logitech gear after keys started breaking less than 6 months after I got it.

Logitech wouldn't honor their warranty without a store receipt, and of course you can't buy replacement keys, that would be crazy!!!!!

/\/\/\/\ Edit, did not know the policy had changed.

Logitech have very good support, probably the best out of any peripheral manufacturer and they have honored a warranty for me in the past without a receipt, they wanted a picture of the serial number in the battery compartment of the mouse though. In addition the "keys" are Cherry MX (Browns if I remember correctly) and you can find them online in hundreds of locations for about 1 €, and are relatively easy to replace.

2nd edit - Wait what? the actual plastic keys are damaged? How the gently caress do you manage that? Anyway they're still cherry so you can buy replacement keycaps from countless places

My once-yearly shop of 10 of these:



They're so much nicer than the thin metal Swann handles - they're thicker which means less hand fatigue when cutting up complex models/graphics and they retract so there's no chance of stabbing yourself in the arse when you put it in your back pocket. The retracting action also makes it really easy to 'eject' the blades. I lose 1-2 per job and I give them to my assistants to replace the thin ones they have.

Also: 300 10A blades, which will last about a month. Foamboard :negative:

I am indeed. I've trimmed it, made a skeleton, stuffed it with polyester and glued it all together. I've got the paints here, I just need better weather to be able to airbrush it.

I love the colour scheme. Would've ganked your style if the customized version didn't cost something like 35% more than the plain one :-/

Thanks! I wanted to do all white with the red swoosh, but my woman stepped in and made me tone it down and add the black. I had to buy it custom to get the 4e wide, so I went to town.

Logitech still replaces broken thing under warranty for free. I sent them a picture of my broken mouse and they sent me the upgraded version less than three months ago.

If you need running shoes, Asics and New Balance both make 4E shoes that work well for me. I'd go to a running store and have them analyze your gait, though.

If you need good looking shoes for any other reason, you're hosed.

I've put it through multiple light showers and I've never gotten wet.

Also I've worn the coat for two seasons and haven't washed it. I don't think it needs to be washed.

I just picked this up as well, so excited to play but hoped it would be better written. I would have paid twice as much if it was written by an actual technical writer. I think I am going to use the online tool to teach myself the game

A second SLR: Nikon EM. They're sort of weird because they shoot in aperture priority mode only, but I wanted a lightweight camera to carry around all the time.




And a Pointer Chore coat because they were on sale.

It's synthetic insulation, the whole point of which is easy care, namely, washing.

The little socket piece that attaches the key to the switch is really, really weak plastic and ends up cracking from tiny amounts of horizontal force and then eventually breaking off. Buying random replacement keys (or switching a less used key into its place) doesn't work because the keys are all shaped. Really disappointed in Logitech for that one. I've never had a Logitech product break from normal use, much less a keyboard. Keep your receipt, dude who bought one.

Ah, that's nice then. Like I said, it's just to protect my phone if I'm going to a concert or something like that, so there shouldn't be an issue of dust getting inside and spending weeks or months scratching the back.
