    Wireless gaming mouse (mamba??)

    Yes, receiver connects to USB port on rig so it is used to charge and send the signal from the mouse.

    Wireless gaming mouse (mamba??)

    I use a tray for my mouse and keyboard.....the hardwire switch won't work for me because it needs to be threaded behind the tray and it's too much of a bother. Sometimes I'll have marathon tf2 sessions where the battery is all but dead.....then you're stuck. Want to leave your rig on just to...

    Wireless gaming mouse (mamba??)

    Number one thing you should know is that the mouse will not charge if your rig is off.....the charger doesn't have an independent power supply. That eventually made me ditch the mouse and get a xai. Which is outstanding btw. If your rig is on all the time then you would be fine. It is excellent...

    Razer Mamba issue (Anyone else experienced this?)

    Here's Razor's customer suppport.....feet began falling off, I fire off an email to them complaining. They send me a from letter stating I could buy new feet at their online store. I write back saying that I don't think I should be buying new feet after a couple of months. They send the same...

    Razer Mamba issue (Anyone else experienced this?)

    I might have looked into that self powered USB port thingy but I had already bought the SS Xai. BTW my mambas feet started to come off after two months and the battery lid began rubbing on the mouse pad (used a hair dryer to bend it back).

    Razer Mamba issue (Anyone else experienced this?)

    I ditched my mamba today. Sick of bad battery life, though I wasn't aware of that powered port accessory. Also always have problems turning it back on after it is off.

    Xai Steelseries - loud and noisy buttons ?

    Hmmmm....I just picked it up today. I didn't notice. It is pretty much as loud as my mamba. It does require a bit more force but that's ok by me since I often accidentally clicked my mamba. I don't think it's loud but it depends what you're used to. Btw, awesome mouse. And I was sick of baby...

    GTX 260 vs 285?

    The 260 is almost two years old now. ATI price/performance is so much better it ain't funny. Btw my last card was an 8800 gt which I loved so I don't care who makes the card. But if I had to choose I would go 285. Posted via [H] Mobile Device

    XFX 5870 fan speed at 55% constant

    My load temp approaches 80c and fan speed gets up around 2200 rpms. Do not know the percentage on that but I know its quite quiet. Haven't touched the defaults in CCC. Posted via [H] Mobile Device

    5870 & TF2: "Stutter"/"Hitching"?

    It was the very last thing i tried after trying everything else. It is no big deal to reinstall directx.....simply go the the MS page and get the latest version. Seems like every new game install checks and updates as necessary anyway and in my case I had not installed the latest and greatest...

    5870 & TF2: "Stutter"/"Hitching"?

    I play tf2 all the time, a couple hours tonite in fact, and never noticed a thing with my 5870. And I had a completely different system six weeks ago. However I had the problem u described with a 5770 in my core duo rig and fixed it by reinstalling directx.

    Bad Timing to Purchase a 5870?

    Just got a new system from Velocity Micro with a generic 5870. I was surprised at just how quiet it is.....easily the quietest system I've owned. After extended gaming I've never seen the card hit 80C or the fan go over 2300 rpm (which I'm guessing is 20 to 30 percent). It idles at about 1100...

    New Nintendo DSI XL!

    Saw it for the first time today. Yes much bigger screen but the bigger pixels make things look more jaggy. Not impressed. Posted via [H] Mobile Device

    My "from PC to Xbox 360 to PS3" experience

    Just got a new rig (gotta update sig), and it is when it is new, and I got a fast graphics card (ATI 5870) and the latest tech, that I enjoy PC gaming the most. Got all the details ramped up and having a blast playing World at War, Borderlands, etc. etc. This lasts about a year....then the...

    G9 or Mamba, decide my fate

    Poor customer service from Razer for me.....teflon feet coming off after just a few months (they reply with form letters directing me to their store to buy more), battery cover rubbing on mouse mat. Bad battery life.....no recharge if the the computer is off. I might have to bite the bullet...

    In need of a good wireless mouse!

    My Mamba is just a few months old and the feet are starting to peel off. I sent them a message and they replied with a form email back directing me to their online store to buy new feet. I replied that for a mouse so expensive and so new, that they should be provided free.....that's what good...

    Darksiders, Yay or Nay ?

    I haven't bothered with that much. Usually there are so many targets climbing all around you I end of doing jump moves and hacking and slashing away from above. There seems to be two types of enemies.....one is just fodder to build up your souls (they can't really kill you) and the other kind...

    Darksiders, Yay or Nay ?

    Great game....picked it up for the PS3. I had to decide between that and Bayonetta and so far I feel good about the choice. There are lots of combo moves you can learn but so far I'm doing fine with just a handful. Nice difficulty curve on average. Weapon and death animations are greatness.

    Droid

    It's one of the first things I did when I set up the phone. I have it off most of the time now as I'm doing alot of switching and configuring among GDE, DX Top, and home default.....trying to find the best set up for me. And that sucks up alot of juice. Right now my default is GDE but DX Top...

    Droid

    I have a Droid and a Touch. The Droid feels like a phone and fits better in the hand than the Touch. The screen resolution/sharpness quality.....there is no comparison. I wanted a separate unit to store my music (and not run my Droid's battery to h*ll) and my 8 gig nano was getting...

    Best wireless gaming mouse?

    No....I updated the firmware a week ago (BTW, I discovered that you need to follow their instructions exactly or it won't update at all). This looks like a good idea about the USB wall charger. I have a hub that is plugged in but it is a couple of years old and I think it is powered only when...

    Best wireless gaming mouse?

    The only issue I've had with it is that it doesn't charge fully unless left on the stand for a very long time....even more than 3 hours. Then again, I rarely get to 3 bars (of 4) or below (when I'm not using the mouse, it's on the stand). Perhaps this is because I am using a powered usb hub...

    Best wireless gaming mouse?

    I got mine last week and have spent hours of gaming with it and have noticed nothing of the sort. Then again, I wasn't aware that the problem existed.

    reccomendations for ergonomic gaming keyboard?

    Yeah, I use this too.....really not a 'gaming' keyboard but I am not aware of any keyboards with the gaming keys to the side that are also arranged in an ergonomic fashion. I think this is a great board. You hand naturally fits to the slope of the key rows and keeps your hand(s) comfortable...

    Mouse PADS - Size "S"

    Yeah, most pads are too large and are designed for desk surfaces.....which is not where you should be putting them from an ergonomic standpoint. I'm using an old func 1030 which is almost the same size....has a rubber base and a thin plastic surface which you can flip to get two different...

    Best wireless gaming mouse?

    Note that the mamba polls at a 1000 mhz (1 ms). There is no wireless lag. In fact the argument could me made that dragging a cord at the end of a corded mouse is worth at least 1 ms.

    Netflix coming to PS3

    Charter......I had a 10 mb/s contract with them and they recently doubled it for free. Guess they're feeling the competition. BTW, I don't see much of a real world difference as the bottleneck usually occurs upstream to whatever source you're accessing.

    Best wireless gaming mouse?

    I've been using the Mamba for about a week now. I had a G5 but the cord was getting in the way in the keyboard/mouse tray. It's a wonderful gaming mouse and significantly better than the G5 IMO. It is the best sniping mouse I've used in TF2 and it is excellent for jumping and shooting as a...

    Netflix coming to PS3

    I don't think there is blu ray streaming section. Quality varies but I don't see a listing that sorts by resolution. Some material is very good quality....Lost, Heroes, others....on my LG 390 player it sez it's HD but I don't think it's quite there.

    Netflix coming to PS3

    You can already stream Netflix to the PS3 via PlayOn. I've done it quite a bit. Disadvantage is that rewind and fast forward is dodgy.

    Demon's Souls, Borderlands, Operation Flashpoint, Uncharted 2? Anyone have these?

    DS not co-op in the sense you can choose your co-op partner. I have that game and Uncharted and I'm not sure at this point which I like best....both very good. The poll doesn't allow you to choose more than one.

    Is It Safe To Game On A Plasma TV?

    If you break in the TV properly and don't put the brightness at near 100% you should be able to run any static image without problems. I don't think burn in is the biggest issue with plasmas.....I have both plasma and lcd HDTVs and the problem with plasmas is glare because the screen is glass...

    Is It Safe To Game On A Plasma TV?

    I think the newer technology is better....alot of people complained bitterly about burn-in on the AVS forums but that was some years ago. I think the best thing to do is just watch your brightness levels and don't tune it to retina burning levels, especially when the TV is new.

    Is It Safe To Game On A Plasma TV?

    Main thing to avoid is to play with high brightness/contrast settings for about the first month. Use about a 100 hour break in period where you are watching widescreen (all pixels lit) exclusively at moderate to low brightness/contrast....and then you'll be good to go. No problems for me after...

    Wife is getting me a PS3 for x-mas, game suggestions?

    Older game that is cheap (probably....haven't checked the price)....Hot Shots Golf-Out of Bounds. No demo for Demon's Souls.

    Recommend me a RPG

    Sacred 2 is quite a bit different than Oblivion, The Witcher, Fallout 3, etc., (what the OP originally cited as 'for instances'). I wouldn't include that game as an RPG just as I wouldn't include Diablo 1/2 as RPGs. I like S2 but it's a hack/n/shash with a bare bones story sprinkled in to...

    .196 avg on a ten year old CRT monitor (NEC multisync at work) and a whatever bare bones vid card they choose to put in these rigs. No clickclickyclicky. :-) .185 avg. on my LG TN
