Sometimes I forget I can't touch-type.

Do you touch type with caps instead of shift? I've seen a lot of people doing that. Touch typing is something that I've been meaning to learn for years but never got around to doing.

It is nice and comfortable. There are 12 buttons, I think the two you're missing are either side of the main left and right butons, they're not obvious, but damned useful in gaming. That said, you lose two of the side buttons, depending on your handedness. 'Cos it's ambidextrous they include thumbs buttons on both sides of the mouse.

I don't really have any sort of technique, I just punch my fingers blindly at the keyboard relying on 'muscle memory' (which works surprisingly well for passwords, and not much else), and the caps lock just gets in my way. WHO EVEN FUCKING USES CAPS LOCK? Oh.

Old(er) Apple desktop keyboards are actually top drawer, certainly way better than what came bundled with pcs. It's the new, 'chiclet' style keyboards that suck donkeys. Apple's mice have always, always sucked.

 :-$ Feck it all, I miscounted.

The extra two 'buttons' that are advertised are scroll forward and scroll backward on the wheel. To be fair, they can be assigned to be anything else.

I know, Peter. I know.  :-/


Once nice feature is a shift button of sorts, Roccat call it an 'easy shift'. Hold that button down and the rest of the buttons do other things; mine's configured for a volume raiser and lowerer and music track forward and backwarder. But again, they can be set to pretty much anything, keys, macros, timers etc.

Mine has shift along with three different modes - allowing six configurations total - but I already have enough controls for play/pause, back, forwards, vol up, vol down, page up, page down, end, alt, tab, next track, and dpi all in one mode so I've not bothered with it.

These mice are stupidly complicated, like a double-neck guitar.

I played Portal with this the other night. Forgot how short that game is. Still great fun though. It was super, and nice having no wires in the way.

Doom caused some problems though. Holding down the RMB for the weapon's secondary mode and pressing LMB to fire causes the buttons to rub. It's a known problem on the mouse and a lot of people have either sent it back or sanded the buttons a tiny bit so they don't rub.

Also, as Pete said: Scroll wheel counted as buttons :O :O :O What!?

Bought a gaming mouse pad today. Who knew it's an actual thing? Been using an old, black cardboard folder from school (like, from 1993) and it's really starting to come apart making aiming real difficult.

I've got an old Noid pad in the house. Just use my desk in work without a pad.

My pad at work is a sheet of plain A4 paper that gets occasionally replaced either when it gets too dirty, or after the imbecilic klutz of a "cleaner" smushes the keyboard and creases it yet again.

Works just as well as any gaming mat, and is way better than the shitty desk surface.

Yeah, definitely. It's bigger and thinner than any mouse pad I've seen before, so I draped it over the old file folder. Mouse works so much better on it.

Yeah, only one monitor!? That is absolutely unacceptable.

Ten minutes clearing up the clutter would make space for at least a 17" companion, and another ten re-organising would allow a matching pair.
