Computer Accessories (Speakers, Monitors Mice etc)

[photon]

I have a G9X as well, have tried other mice but I always go back to Logitech.

Still use a Microsoft keyboard though, still like the split style ergonomic ones and I don't like Logitech's versions of those.

I took my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate mechanical keyboard to work. I think I might have to find another cheaper, non-backlit mech keyboard for work so I can take it back home.

I'm not a fan of Razer but this is actually a decent keyboard (made by one of the bigger Taiwanese mechanical keyboard manufacturers IIRC and branded by Razer). There's nothing like typing on Cherry Blue MX switches...well other than maybe the classic IBM Model M Buckling Spring keys.

Serious question - how do your co-workers feel about you using a clicky keyboard at work? I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry Blue switches and it's damn (satisfyingly) loud, but I'm not sure it would fly at work.

If I was in an open or cubicle area, perhaps there would be complaints.

I just get teased by people walking by my office door when I am typing (they mime typing gestures, call me nerdy names, etc.) because you can hear me typing in the hall when the door is open.

They can be had for $150-175

I have never really liked Logitech speakers, good for game's but have always been just about the Bass, not detail.

I also like the Edifier S330D 2.1 $160-175
You can order from London Drugs, Future Shop (free shipping) or NCIX.ca for $150 with $9 ground shipping.


Also keep in mind it starts with a good sound card.

I just bought these, but the only place I could find them was Amazon. Hopefully they don't disappoint!

I bought the MMO 7 mouse, while being an amazing gaming mouse, it has some fatal flaws: It loves to stop working correctly.

The mouse frequently screwed up in the beginning, allowing you to only scroll along the horizontal axis. It would happen at least once per gaming session. I already did one exchange.

It has now deteriorated to the point where in addition to that, it turns off at least once per hour and axis screws up at least every 15 minutes.

11 months old.

I have Logitech z5500 (the ones with actual peaker wire connectorsa) I just bought bookshelf klipsch 2.1 speakers and will be trying that out when I get home. I'm hoping to have some fancy results

Bought at the pawn shop for 100 bucks

I just received a $57 Monoprice mechanical keyboard with MX blues in it for work. Absolutely no frills, basically it's a $15 keyboard with mechanical keys. Has some weight to it, but alas a glossy finish.

Unfortunately Monoprice's shipping rates to Canada are horrible. NewEgg has a more expensive Rosewill MX Blue keyboard that would probably end up costing less after shipping

My only complaint about the Klipsch speakers is the controls got very static-y quite fast.. turning them creates static and one channel will cut out a bit when changing the volume, have to twiddle with it.

Acually the switch I use to switch between headphones and speakers does this too, anyone suggest a good switch? Something like this I guess (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...mm-Switch-diy/), the one I'm using is crap from The Source.

I guess I should just make one.

Try taking the knob off and spraying some contact cleaner on it. Just make sure it's unplugged first. I had this issue with my old Harmon Kardon amp and it worked like a charm.
