These were 20% off at DSW for some reason, but $90 is still about $20 more than I'd like to pay

Excellent build quality and the sound is pretty good too. Has a few random cool features too. $80 at Costco compared to the original $200 retail.

Nice. How much was the B15?

I've got a B17 with nearly 19k miles on it. It is super comfy - I can ride centuries without stupid padded shorts without problems.
I also have a Team Pro on my MTB with only ~1.5k miles. I don't really like that one.

Around $180. I don't think I will have that many miles with mine that quickly but I hope it will last me a long time.

I too would like a comparison, or at least a review. The logitech one is fantastic, it just needs a "gamer" edition with craploads of buttons and stuff.

Ooh those are super neat, if originally marked up due to the brand. I paid retail and they sure as poo poo don't sound as good as other $200 cans but the branding is cool as gently caress and the removable, interchangeable cord is loving rad. I'd pay $80 for em, happily.

Its just a trackball that has a mouse-like appearance.

No click on the ball but there is a third button to the right of the typical right-click button.

e: since there's more interest than I was expecting here it is on Amazon.

Huh, I didn't think people still actually used these. It's like the pointer button on ThinkPads, I just figured they had a warehouse full of them somewhere and that's why I keep seeing them around

Agreed. I kinda like how you can plug the cord into either side of the headphones, and it also works as a splitter.

Finally splurge and upgrades my two year old gaming pc.

New graphics card



New processor (because the one I had didn't support PCIe 3.0 - and this one will tide me over until I upgrade to Intel in a few months)



And finally a new PSU because the one I had didn't have an 8 pin PCIe cable (which the gfx card needs because of its built in overclock)



Overall really happy. Gone from Mid/high settings in newer games like Doom to pretty much ultra everything with full anti-aliasing. Card is an absolute beast and runs almost silent.

Why buy a processor now if you're just going to upgrade in a few months? You already have a functional gaming rig, just save the money and get the good processor instead of wasting some along the way on something just because.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Somewhere, there must be some kind of online congregation of nerds... And there you might have an online market place, where people would often exchange used computer parts for money. Among other things!

Fixie or singlespeed, it's important to differentiate if you're going for full hipster or faux hipster.

*edit: they weigh 2x the amount a regular spoked wheel does? For that money? Yeesh.

Faux hipster in that case

Also I only bought it for the looks, I hope you guessed that already.

To be fair nobody buys a fixie/singlespeed because they're a better bike for doing whatever, but mainly because they look cool.
