hmm, that plugable mic thing is a smart idea.

On another note, you'll almost be as cool as this guy now:

rofl

pluggable mic is good idea indeed, though.

Buba · August 19th, 2008, 07:44 PM

Yeah, I wasn't keen on the Fatality idea, hence me NOT writing Fatal1ty.
In that price range its supposedly pretty unbeatable concerning quality and comfort.

I had a Philips before, also around 30 Euros, but it was crap and after one weeks of LAN gaming the height adjustment wouldn't hold anymore and it was unwearable.
The Sennheiser in this price range and a bit up did't feel that good to me while wearing and a good sounding Headset still is fooked when you wear it for 12 hours straight and your ears fall of.
And I like Sennheiser, I got some for my iPhone

This is obviously a rather subjective thing, the Fatality fits my ears perfectly, it sounds great for gaming with awesome directionality in CoD4, and the detachable Mic is a nifty idea, although the sound quality of the thing isn't perfect, not even good, but ok...

Is that the new mouse that clips onto your laptop? To be honest, seems totally useless to me. Who doesn't carry their laptop in at least a small sleeve that you can put the mouse into?

Nah, i think you mean this:

And yes, it does seem kinda dumb, but it is rechargeable that way so...

Nah, he means this.

I just want a laptop mouse that has 4 way scroll, back and forward buttons, and runs on AA batteries....so far I haven't found one that got all of the above yet.

johns13193 · August 20th, 2008, 06:31 PM

VX Nano, 'cept it runs on AAA's

and lawn mower driving FTW

Logitech VX Nano Granted, it uses AAA batteries, but I have an estimated 104 days left on these ones after about 3 months of use. Now, unless you have some odd aversion to the addition of a document flip button, I don't see why this couldn't suffice.

IceBone · August 20th, 2008, 06:36 PM

You can also use uber options to map any function you want to any button. Works great with the MX Revolution.

smib · August 20th, 2008, 07:00 PM

Unless you run Linux

IceBone · August 20th, 2008, 07:01 PM

That's your fault then, isn't it?

smib · August 20th, 2008, 07:19 PM

No, as with all things, it's everyone else's fault but mine.

I was fed up with having to delete a pile of stuff if I wanted to install a new program, so I bought a new drive.
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11.

Tried that, did nothing. Now I have no problem saying that I probably did something wrong, but I also heard that the fix doesn't work for everyone. If I could have all 8 buttons again I would be a very happy camper. I would also like it if I could get Wine to cooperate. I think I'll be getting an Nvidia card soon too.

Hidden_Hunter · August 21st, 2008, 03:21 PM

Just for good measure recompile your kernel

Try installing windows, it could take half an hour but after that everything will work fine.

At last!

I got myself a Logitech G25!!

Awesome! What are you using it with?
