**** Pictures of things we bought in August 2012 ****

Arrived this AM, a turbo trainer and a front block for the winter. I was pondering a set of rollers but wimped out.

Sorry for the carp photo. This was something like £41 for the whole kit and was well worth every penny.

I've been using the Mach 3 since God know when but after using the Edwin Jagger i'll never go back, the shave is just so much better.

Felt like a boy using the Gillette, feel like a man using the Edwin Jagger! :p

Id love one of those robot vacuum cleaners, just a shame I have a dog who would no doubt poo itself everytime it set off. Either that or she will consider it an enemy and destroy it :(

Strangely, the shop I bought it from had the 6400 DPI model, where as most of the ones for sale seem to be the 5600 DPI model, including the one that OCUK are selling.

I'm assuming this one is a refresh, so that's good.

How are you finding it, I have the 5600dpi and its twitchy no matter what dpi I'm using. Also if a bit of dust gets into the sensor on mine it just won't respond.

The DPI modes of mice like these are more gimmick than anything else. It's acceleration amped up. I have the G700 and have had the Razer Mamba before too and only use them at 800dpi as anything less is too slow and anything more feels like Windows with the "pointer acceleration" enabled by default which grinds my gears!

Enjoy it though :p

Be sure to turn off Windows pointer acceleration, such a useless feature for mice.

I have the rat 9 5600 dpi and all the dpi settings seem to do is give you more sensitivity.

Eg 2000 dpi at low sensitivity feels the same as 500 dpi at high sensitivity.

:(
 
Like I said, 10,00000 DPI modes = Gimmick :p

The mice themselves are great though, accurate, feature rich (buttons/settings) but DPI is just....
 
I thought high dpi meant it would be more accurate since the sensor is taking in more detail, but would also make it feel skittish.

But my rat 9 just feels the same at any dpi, I guess its a gimmick.

There's DPI and there's reports/sec. My G700 at 5700 DPI will move the cursor on my 24" monitor edge to edge if I move the mouse only a tiny bit...ridiculous!

However, bung the DPI to 800 (normal) and then slap the Reports/sec slider to 1000 and you get more accurate mousing for detail work/sniping.

Higher reports/sec uses more CPU power of course and the default for mine is 500 but in this day and age there's plenty of CPU cycles to go round.
 
Nice tractors ferguson, I spent a lot of my childhood on my grandad's (now uncle's) farm, and he had a old Ferguson like that, similar grey colour, have fond memories of it :)

Bought this last night:

That's what put me off, they don't look very comfortable to hold either.. But quite a few people are rating them highly so I may pop into pc world and give it a try :)
Saying that I have a Logitech G9X so no need to upgrade really... :p
