    Gonna be a while on that DRACONEM, car inspection + mortgage = no new mousepad.... (I would be open to writing a review about it with my Level 10 mouse though  :D   :D  ....)

    With the gold and exp weekend with Diablo 3, I've been giving this thing a most serious workout, and I'm very impresed, been at it for hours and my hand isn't cramping at all, still haven't found that sweet spot with the axis, but I'm sure I will.  And I still don't know why some are complaining about that DPI switch, I haven't accidentily hit that thing once, and I've been using the middle "back" button quite a lot, so it's not like I've been keeping my thumb away from the sides.

    Ears don't hurt either with those Level 10 headphones (more impressed with those than I thought I'd be, to be honest, those things are really good).

    Ugh, I have to eat.  Food, Diablo 3, sleep.   Well....nah, I don't need to sleep. :D

  5. What is your ultimate fantasy setup(s)?

    in Enthusiasts

    Posted

    Custom built 8 foot desk, total glass top, all components in the desk.  Thin white translucent Dupont Corian sides with LED for illumination.  Z99 MB, 32 GB RAM, custom cooled with acrylic tubing and 3 Frozen Q T-Virus cylinders.  Tri-SLI with tri-monitor setup (whatever I could get that would run tri-monitors in 4K).  A sound system that would rattle the poodle next door, studio headphones that'll probably cost 4 figures.  256 GB SSD boot drive. 2, 2 TB SSD RAID drives with 2, 2 TB SSD RAID NAS backup.  I'dl figure out the smaller stuff like the KB / Mouse later.

  11. What do you consider to be the most important feature on a gaming mouse?

    I see no one has voted for brand, but I think that is also important. Brand represents quality :)

     

    Eh......yes, but it can also corrupt the brand.  There are plenty of brands out there that make a good product, and overcharge you out the wah-zoo for them *cough cough CORSAIR*.  Case in point - How many people buy the Dominator Platinum RAM, because of the brand, when G.SKILL Trident X is an outstanding RAM, speed and timings identical, and costs 1/3 less?

     

    I'm not trying to bash any brand, but, quality comes first, brand comes later.  I know I favor Tt products, and there are multiple reasons for that, and most of my build is done by Tt, but, honestly, not all.  Tt will be one of the first companies I look at when researching a product for purchase, but I won't buy something just because it says Tt on it.

  12. Switch type?

    The Blacks on mine are great, noise doesn't bother me, and illumination is a MUST, but last on the list.

    1 - Quality
    2 - Features
    3 - Switch type
    4 - Illumination

    I'll probably never go back to membrane.  Now if we can just get all that, with a PS/2 connection instead of a USB.

    I thought this had black switches.  Least the one I bought says it has black switches....

    Anyway, this thing is built like a tank.  The illumination is great, and adjustable, I can now play game, type, whatever without a light on in my office to see my keyboard.  Having on board audio controls is a major plus, I'm surprised more planks don't offer that, it's so much better than having to open your music player and control it via mouse.

    Need to retrain my fingers from what I use at work, I keep hitting the Caps Lock, so every now and then I staRT TYPING LIKE THIS.  And the right shift key is half the size when compared to other planks.  Minor complaints about an awesome plank.

    I love this thing, got it in red.  Heard SO many complaints about the DPI switch, and yes, this mouse will take some getting used to, but after you train yourself a little on it, it's amazing.  My thumb never hits the DPI switch accidentally, but I do find myself changing the DPI to suit whatever I'm doing.  My mother in law was looking at my build the other day, looked at my mouse and said "wow, that's an awesome model car".  She knows I'm a big NASCAR fan, looked at the mouse and thought it was a model NASCAR......no mom, that's a mouse.

    Do NOT use this mouse with a fabric mouse pad, it sucks!! Don't know if it's the mouse design or the pad, but it "sticks" and doesn't glide easily over the pad, at least the one I'm using.  Ordering the DRACONEM pad tomorrow, thinking that will fix the issue.  Also, use a large pad, the small "pad" on the underside of the mouse, by the wire, gets stuck if it goes over the edge of the mousepad.

    After reading a lot of reviews about a lot of different headsets, I decided to get these in black.  I heard a lot of complaints about the base level, I don't know, maybe people wanted artificial base, or wanted to blow their eardrums out listening to EDM at some nuclear level, (nothing wrong with EDM) but I'm really enjoying these.  If paired with a good sound card or good quality on board audio (I'm using mine with the ASUS Formula VII MB, which has AMAZING on-board audio), they sound pretty #### good.  They are very flat, which I really appreciate, because I can control the sound easier than headphones that crank the bass and kill the treble.

    One piece of advice, could use a clip on the wire close to the volume control.  The volume control keeps getting caught right under the lip of my desk, if I could clip that volume control to my shirt, would just make things a little easier.   Something I'll add myself.

  21. What is the most useless part to put in your build?

    in System Builds

    Posted

    Honestly, a CD drive, I only have one in mine now because I had some CD media to install, after that, it's useless.  I'm going to rip it out and keep an external drive for the few times I'll need one.  Might put this in instead when I do a total liquid cooling loop, since I'll have a dual bay available.

    Everything is digital, games, music, movies, occaisionally I'll buy a hard to find a music CD, and hook up an external CD drive to rip it, or burn a copy of some downloaded music but that's about it.

     

  24. Water 3.0 Extreme / Formula VII / ROG Front Base issue.

    in Liquid Cooler

    Posted

    Figured this one out.  I think there is a conflict with the  Water 3.0 software and the software on the ASUS Formula VII MB.  The Water 3.0 software over rides the fan controller on the MB.  Everything is now working perfectly, I just control the CPU fans via the Thermnaltake software, and the others via the MB.

    Ran Prime95 for a little over an hour the other day, CPU maxed out at 75, and even then didn't stay there long.  :D

     

    Thanks!
