my recent purchases, and why i now love amazon

[Takel 1st MRB]

As some of you know, it was my birthday the other week and as such i was paid in hardly earned cash. Because I am currently not a rich man, i cannot afford to buy a pc so i decided i would just buy a keyboard and mouse. I decided to buy a Logitech G110 gaming keyboard and a Razer Naga, so far I'm loving them. After paying over £100 for them (£100.07 to be exact) i was expecting quality but these are brilliant. the g110 has an extra 12 keys that can be programmed for macros etc and has a media key set with a really cool volume scroll bar. Oh, and it glows. I currently have Macro 1 set so that it glows an evil red, Macro 2 set so it glows a cool blue and macro 3 set on hot pink (cause, basically, why the fuck not). this lets me know at a glance which set i am on, which is helpful.

Now, onto the mouse. Overall, it's ridiculous. It has 17 buttons (mouse 1, mouse 2, scrollwheel click, forward/backward keys and a 12 button thumb grid) and the sensitivity goes up to a massive 5600 dpi, basically, on this setting, a few centimeters movement of the mouse will cause my cursor to travers the entire screen. and it goes all the way down to 100 dpi, which means that the cursor travels like a fucking snail. I can also adjust this "on the fly" so i can, in-game, change my sensitivity from 100 to 5600 in the blink of an eye. Which is nice.

Finally, my newfound respect formazon and the royal mail. As i chose the free delivery option i was told to not expect these items to be delivered until monday 28 yet somehow they arrived only a day after they dispatched. so i didn't have to wet myself in anticipation!

So, any good/bad experiences anyone had with their mouse/keyboard/retailer of the previous?

Well I currently am STILL waiting on Arkham City which was supposed to have been delivered by November 8th, but whether that's Amazon or the US Military Postal Systems fault, I'll never know. That's IF I ever see Arkham City....

It might be your FPO. I got my items from Amazon on the expected time range in the times I needed them. (Like buying textbooks for the upcoming semester)

If I get the money I'm buying the half-off Amazon Prime, since I had the one year free trial of Amazon Student, that option is still open for me.

Welllpp I found out what happened with Arkham City, apparently they gave me a refund and never fucking told me. Rat fuckers. So now I gotta order it again, if I even freaking bother. It just pisses me off they didn't tell me at all.
