Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have been really enjoying my desk mat / cloth mat . Seems to hold up the longest and does not ware feet on the mouse nearly as fast as your regular mat . That glass mat should work fine because it has a black back. Any mouse would work fine .
I really like my blues . I have had red , blue , brown . Blue feels good , but as others said are nosier. My favorite keyboard to date was my corsair k 90 with blue keys .
