Thread: Mouse and Keyboard |OT| Be mice to each other.
Official Thread
Ha, I never really understod the whole fingertip/palm/claw debate. I use a full sized mouse, and do something like fingertip grip I guess. But the heel of my palm is on the mouse pad, and my arm never moves, my wrist actually barely moves. It's mostly fingers. But I'm not the greatest at fast twitch games so don't mind me. I have a redragon M801 mouse. I've used more expensive ones in the past but this one compares favorably for a fraction of the price imo.
I have a Corsair K95 keyboard with silver mechanical switches that I managed to get "like new" for $60. I use it 95% for work and 5% for gaming lol. I wanted mechanical switches but wasn't really planning on silver. The silver switches took some times to adjust to and avoid tons of accidental keystrokes lol. But now it's all good and I like the responsiveness.
I wish I had more time to play games these days. But 2023 should be a good year. Jedi Survivor, Starfield, Cyberpunk expansion, etc.

Just got my first mechanical keyboard. Options here are limited because I din't want to import or pay too much for something I know nothing about in case I didn't like i.
I ended up buying a 60% Red Dragon one that didn't cost me much and has a usb-c cable and swappable switches and simple white LEDs. Feels pretty goo and I really like the colors and size. I was making tons of mistakes when typing but it seems I'm getting used to it pretty fast. I had to invert the Esc key because the way they set it up is a complete disaster, that's the only thing I didn't like.

Got me the Lamzu Atlantis finally. Let me know if the pics work below.
Comparison with my Zowie EC2-C, Superlight and Kone Pro Air.

Pics work, it looks very nice. How do you like it?
It absolutely lives up to the hype. Build quality is bomb proof, it's lighter than the Superlight, and the Huano 80M Blue shell & Pink dot switches are a delight.
It's no big deal, but the packaging is the best I've ever seen also. I think the shape might actually be better than the XM1.
Finally ordered a set of Gateron reds for my board, and a nifty keycap set. Which was pretty goddamn pricey at £42. The switches weren't too bad at £30.
What keycaps did you buy? Thinking about buying new ones for my Akko board.
Finally I'm all redded up.
Behold! THE RAINBOW PUKE
And how does it feel, are you happy with the improvement?
I do prefer the reds. The keycaps will take a bit of getting used to. They're taller than the set that comes with it.
My god that's a FUGLY keyboard. Seriously what the hell.Finally I'm all redded up.

Because of the lighting? You can adjust it to whatever you like. I always make it as obnoxious as possible before taking a photo because it always triggers at least one dork.
Your views are very important to me. I will change it immediately.
Thank you for complying. It means a lot to me. I was thinking of doing drugs due to trauma of your psychedelic keyboard. It means a lot to me that you're changing it. Besties!
You have no idea. In person it's mind bending.. Why pay for mushrooms when you can stare at this badboy.
Damn nice. EPOMAKER continues to make great keyboards. Would buy if I didn't already own the TH80.
My new mouse / mousepad.
Pulsar X2 Bruce Lee Edition (only 3000 made apparently).
Vancer ACE pad. It's like an ice rink. It has RAINBOW FILM.
1. Rainbow film material: a nano-polymer material formed by the co-reaction and polymerization of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), macromolecular polyol and chain extender. Add laser particles to the production process, under the light, it is dazzling and colorful! Hence the name: Rainbow Film

The mouse looks damn sexy, congrats!
I'm kinda want the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition. Magnesium and shit. 280 bucks, which is ridiculous. And the
Expected tbh. They gave out early copies, first real production batch will drop in some days. Early samples always have issues, no matter where. Some of the shit I put into certain German premium cars was embarrassing lol
To be fair, Razer said they took extra special care QC'ing the review copies. Which makes it more funny. Razer are notorious for their QC, though they've improved in recent years.

Does anyone make a mouse like the Deathadder V2, but with a larger hump, or just a bigger mouse in general?
The Deathadder V2 is already a pretty big mouse.
The Roccat Kone XP is at least wider than the Deathadder:
Other than that, Steelseries mice tend to be rather big, but not necessarily in height.
Calling @The Bloody Nine for support.

I have long fingers, so the v2 ends up just being a claw mouse for me. I'd like to be able to palm a mouse.
You might also check out the new very expensive Logitech G502 X Plus.
It's pretty big.

I used to use a 502. It was ok. I still clawed it. The back of the mouse wasn't big enough.
