i've just realised why my new mouse feels gross to use even tho it's "better" and it's coz the laser works too well, my other mouses laser stops working the second the mouse is lifted at all but this one still works for a bit so when you lift the mouse and move it, hoping the cursor won't move.: it does a bit. like a ball mouse used to when you lifted it and te ball fell a bit and jiggled on the wheels.. whereas my cheap as microsoft one the moment it's not touching the table or whatever cursor stops moving

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
why don't fps gamers use modal vi keyboard commands since advocates say they're so much more efficient

Bloody
Mar 3, 2013

they basically do if you think about it. you usually gotta switch modes to get into whatever the in game typing chat is and otherwise they're in the character control mode

also the chat mode keys are usually undocumented and unintuitive, like j was team chat in tf2 or something

my fingers are long and cant deal with the congestion around wasd and the awkwardness of how they're skewed. arrow keys and the surrounding keys are much better

CODE v2 104 w/ clear looks cool

idk you'll have to look back in the thread

it was ridiculously loud and felt the same as my non-mech kb


every idiot gamer with an open mic has a mech kb so I'm convinced it's purely marketing
