My New Toy

[Rockwulf]

My brother was badgering me about what I wanted for christmas and I really had no idea. I have access to any movie I want online so I don't need any more DVDs cluttering up my place, ditto with music. I have way more clothes than I need and so on until the only thing I could think of to tell him was a gift certificate to my local specialty beer shop. I mean the kid's got a decent job but I just don't see him buying me a new motorcycle any time soon.

Then later in the day after I was off the phone with him, my trusty old mouse broke down. It was from back in 2001 and had been beaten to hell and back but it was great. Exactly the size I wanted with a fantastically convenient thumb button. So I sent my lil' bro a text saying that I could use a new mouse and told him the specs of my old one.

He went around shopping and trying to find a clone of my faithful old mouse but with no success since they don't make that model anymore, the fools! But on Christmas day he gave me a 25 dollar visa gift card to use to find one that was up to my standards. So today in Best Buy I stumbled across the Holy Grail of mouse-dom.

Marked at 99 bucks but on sale for 30 (holy shit!) was this bad boy: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mi...s/130&cl=US,EN

It's fucking sweet and has a ton of awesome features. My mouse has a clutch. Does your mouse have a clutch? I didn't fucking think so! tell me this doesn't look like something that would fly out of the sky and tentacle-**** your family!

that is one nice-looking device right there.
*suddenly envious*
mine's pink and glows, which is pretty cool... but it's a bit battered :/ the pink paint wore off where my thumb is >.<
(it was a keyboard and mouse on sale for like $15 lmao... yeah i'm super high-end like that.)

I just started dicking around with the control software. You can customize the buttons for individual programs. So after a quick range test to confirm it will work from across my apt in my bedroom, it is now a fully functional remote control for Windows Media Player. No more gettin' up to turn down/off whatever movie happens to be on when I'm ready to go to sleep.


And the porn...my god the porn!!!!

holy crap o.o
that's... a fancy piece of technology right there.

I've got a total geek-boner.

[mystoo]

That's awesome.
The mouse..not the geek-boner.
Ok, that's awesome too.
I shut up now.

nice, but i think id rather have one like Soma does, one that glows, not one that is pink. i may have seen the one that you got, rockwulf, but i didnt take a liking to the floor model. i'll give it a second look when i go to bury my mouse in the cold ground.

Meh, I got over the whole glowy phase when I realized that I could turn off the lights in my dorm room and still be kept awake by all the fucking hardware I had.

I think Amelia has one of those Darth Vader looking mouses.

i <3 glowing things.
i can't sleep without lights of some sort glowing or twinkling nearby...
as for my mouse... i didn't necessarily choose the pink, it's just what they had. compUSA's closeout sale thing...*not that pink isn't awesome on occasion*
*looks at own icon*
