Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
not everyone would care, but that’s also the old model advantage and might not have all the onboard macroing that the 2 has. macroing lets me hit one key to tell people that it’s not my problem so i like it.

im not even trolling or joking, the stores fine. prices are good, not inflated. selection is good. they have parts now - i mean, ram and cpus and gpus and mobos.

im not like worlds #1 bestbuy stan here but i would suggest giving them a visit some day and just poke around and see there's a reason they're still in business

get a deft pro because thumbing balls is gross, it’s better to finger your balls

BORAT VOICE MY WRISTS are starting to hurt in a way that makes me suspect the tilt feature of the Ergo will be helpful in making less-bad.

just had to change a setting so it was 1:1 from computer so it applied no scaling

and it’s so big and good

I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

i got a smart tv from newegg many years ago. it's really bad but it can play my streaming subscription stories.

except hulu. hulu recently canceled all support for my particular type of LG shitbox. so now when i try to open hulu it tells me to gently caress off in its own computery way.

frys has been poo poo for a while. last time i was there was like 2 years ago to buy a copy of win10 because the one amazon shipped me was just an empty bag. they were out of stock on basically every SSD except for some no name ones and all their GPUs were like 3rd tier knockoffs. all of them were like 20% more than what newegg would charge too for a name brand piece

the last three things I bought from fry's were a motherboard that was DOA, a pair of RAM sticks that had obviously been opened and which were also DOA, and a USB-C cable that won't charge my phone.

ive been pretty happy with frys. their price on uhd blurays is usually better than online, and they pricematch stuff like components. i dont go there often, but they seem fine to me?

E: this is the keebthread. a friend of mine bought one of those membrane mechanical razer keyboards at frys. seems silly to me but he likes it

I got the Filco low profile red keyboard (https://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=4035) and i want to know, do they have low profile keys to replace the windows keys?

also is there a mouse thread? I am tired of using a bluetooth trackpad that needs to be charged and would like a good wired mouse. one of those hideous customizable mice is the best right?

i generally try to set it to a sensitivity where i am only using my thumb and pinky to move around any other mouse or physical input, but i'll go to best buy to try out the trackball to see if i like it, thank you

I think I looked at this one or the MX2 but the thumb scroll isn't clicky and doesn't seem to have the option to, either.

trackballs are good. elecom makes some decent ones, though the build quality might only be 80% of logictec, the ergonomics are better (for me)
