    G500 vs Deathadder.

    I have a strong preference for the deathadder. looking at it from the perspective of a low sensitivity FPS player. G500 imo, -Way too heavy (even without the optional weights, who would want to do that? ) -Horrible scroll wheel that is impossible to click and loose and wobbly. -Sensor is not...

    The best hard gaming mouse pad?

    Not sure if there is such a thing as the best. Different people have different preferences regarding the balance of glide and control they like. Personally I like cloth pads. I have used hard pads, and the ones I really like are more on the grippy side of things. The Razer Scarab/ Destructor...

    Gaming keyboards without number pads

    It is called Tenkeyless There are many options, including Filco, Ducky, Leopold and Cooler master. When it comes to value and bang for buck, it is very hard to beat the Cooler master Storm Quickfire Rapid. There will be a new keyboard released by Cooler Master this month called the...

    G500 vs Deathadder.

    This one is easy for me: Deathadder I am looking at this as a low sensitivity arena FPS player. The G500 is too heavy with an odd weight distribution. The sensor is not centered but moved towards the front compared to most other mice. The sensor had known acceleration issues, and does not...

    The best hard gaming mouse pad?

    There are a whole bunch of viable options. I am not sure if there is one that is really objectively the best of the bunch. Generally, people differ in the combination of glide and grip/control that they want. It also depends on the sensor of your mouse. Some sensors do not work as well on...

    Music and gaming

    I dont game with music on. When playing a single player game I usually want to be immersed and not be distracted by any music other than the music that is in the game. In competitive multiplayer audio feedback is usually too important. For example, foot steps in Counter Strike or...

    Can a videogame be ruined due to excessive difficulty?

    It can be ruined if the gameplay does not hold up. Some games are great even if you play it on the higher difficulty settings. It is rewarding and puts your skills to the test. But then there are some games where the difficulty just emphasizes flaws in gameplay and gamedesign. These games are...

    Demos hurt sales

    The assumption here is that there is no consistent factor in the decision to release a demo or not. Instead demos are released randomly for all quality of games, developers and publishers. Therefore we can take these numbers "as is" and come to the conclusion that a demo hurts sales. I think...

    Games with the best level design

    I think a lot of games with excellent level design are games that have been played competitively for many years. Either developers supported their product to improve and perfect the levels. Or the community made their own contributions. Counter strike is one of those examples. Other games that...

    From MX Browns to Blacks?

    It is personal preference. I did it the other way around. Started with blacks, but was constantly aware of the force needed to use them and it annoyed me and put strain on my hands. Then went to reds, which I loved for gaming but not as much for typing (accidental presses remained a problem...

    Looking for small & slim rubberized keyboard and mouse

    I think the Zowie AM is a great mouse and completely rubberized. Another option would be some of the Corsair mice, though I am not a big fan due to shape, weight and sensor used. But you might feel differently. When it comes to keyboards, the K90/K60 or K95/K65 have a grippy, almost rubber...

    Looking for recommendations for a mechanical keyboard

    CM Storm QuickFire Pro is a great choice for the price. Where I live it does not come in browns though. Since you live in the UK, I think it is easy to recommend "the keyboard company" and their Filco keyboards. No software or drivers to worry about, and they come in pretty much any...

    The Best Mice Thread (ongoing)

    Personally I think the best mice are those without acceleration or prediction, track on most surfaces, have a high tracking speed and no major hardware flaws. In that category of mice are for example the MX518 , G400, Zowie AM etc. I myself have the Zowie AM. I like it a lot but the shape...

    quiet mechanical keyboard

    I think it suffices to take any switch except the blues and use dampeners, or make sure you do not bottom out on your keystrokes. Easier said than done when using reds though.
