    Best Ergo Gaming Mouse?

    I've bought several (at least five) gaming mice over the past few years and I just can't get used to them. Last month, I found out why. My favorite mouse (the only one that is comfortable) is the Gigabyte M6800. Problem: It's buttons go ka-lick, kinda mushy. I need a gaming mouse that has a...

    Wifi gaming vs hardwired?

    My 5-yo son was playing TF2 on a really nice 5GHz USB3 wifi and when I joined his game to be his pocket medic something really weird happened: His ping (from right next to me, hardwired with Cat-5) was LOWER than mine! This has got me thinking about abandoning my trusty 25' cable along the...

    I got banned on [H]ardforums for trying to buy a computer.

    :nuts: So there was a pretty great deal for a Lenovo system a guy was selling, perfect upgrade box for my wife. I've lurked [H]'s forums for a few months. I made an account, but they don't allow PMing or posting in For Sale threads until a user has 100 posts. So, I made a thread in the help...

    Do Fan Dust Covers really work?

    A few of the amazon reviews suggest that filters only get the big stuff. My ten-year-old case has steel mesh and it only keeps the bunnies out; the guts still get dusty. So, Anyone found fan covers that actually keep dust out and air in?

    Prebuilts are cheaper than the sum of their parts (with coupons).

    Starting on black Friday, I noticed that Dell's prebuilt XPS and Alien computers with 9700's and 2080 supers were about $200-300 cheaper than the cost of their parts (due to coupons). Experiences with pre-builts?

    1136 Games, Who Knew? GOG GALAXY 2.0 in beta

    So I got the go ahead to install it. It does collect Steam, Epic, XBOXLive, PSN, Ubi, and Origin. All the PC games launch within their own launchers so SteamWorks works fine. Cross-Platform Friends doesn't work yet, except that your steam client is still open. Best part is just knowing what...
