Proper pain, might work if I link a Twitter image for it?

Surely that's not going to be blocked...

That splitter cable for the KB/ mouse dongle is really smart - haven't seen one before...

How are you finding the superstrike?
 
Tidy!

Just noticed the spacebar....how do you get on with that?
Took me a little while to get used to it at the start but now it's quite tough to go back. The middle modifier button is almost more useful than having two spacebars, I use it as Fn layer 1 on my typing profile so I can more easily access more keys - then for gaming I have it bound as 'F14' which I just map to whatever I want to use conveniently. I've been playing quite a bit of Marathon and Arc recently so I've got it bound to 'walk' which has been really convenient.

Yeah, I saw it on a YouTube video the other week from 'Jakeu' when he was talking about the Superstrike and decided I'd order it to try it out. Quite nice having 1 less cable on the desk and it does look quite smart!

Superstrike is good, not sure it's worth the money and I still think the shape is pretty mid but the tech behind the clicks is fantastic. Being able to have both left and right click have independent settings for actuation, rapid trigger and haptic feedback is also really great. I like it, I preferred the shape and weight of my previous Vaxee XE-S (and the side buttons) but it's now quite tricky going back once you've got used to the superstrike's clicks. It's also lovely and quiet to use because it's not really ever clicking!
 
really liking the style, very tempted by the Superstrike....

Deffo going to look for one of those cables, great idea that.
 
Well I looked....YIKES mate lol.

I have now fallen down the cable rabbit hole.

Assuming this is about the superstrike! Yep, not sure it's worth the cost at all.

The OP1 8K v2 in 'speed mode' for the clicks is a hundred quid cheaper and once you get past the wire (or swap it to a thin paracord in a bungee) it's almost the same thing - but with a better shape (for me) and side buttons.

If this is about the split cable...! That was only 45 quid!

Nah I could accept the Mouse price but £45 for a cable.....the wife would hang me by my unmentionables with it.

I'm using an XM2w 4k which I just got in the sale, it's quite nice but feels a little delicate in my mitts.

Yeah I told my wife it was 18 quid and even then she raised an eyebrow...
 
Got a new num pad for work. Unfortunately this keycap set I have spare don't have any good "generic" caps for the top row with this height. Ordered some resin caps from AE, also mixed and match Switches too! Only have 10 Nuphy Lemon Yellow so ordered another 10 for £5. They sound so good.

Weikav Stars 21? Still loving my Stars75 with Akko Creamy Yellows. I bought some Leobog Greywood v4 to try, but haven't felt the need (or found the time) to swap them over...

Yeah, it's my 2nd one. It just does what I need so well and it sounds perfect out of the box with the Nuphy Yellow switches.
 
Nice coloureway!

I have the new Rapoo model coming in to check out:

Should be a nice comparison aginst my current fav the Pulsar CrazyLight.
 
Little change from the Artisan Raiden Mid to the Pulsar eS Hyperion Pro. Really like the colour a lot! It feels a bit like an Artisan Zero Soft but with a little less 'squish' to it so it has a bit more freedom over mouse movement. I'm enjoying it a lot - but the main reason for swapping from the Raiden was that the NP01s v3 feels incredible on the Hyperion vs. the Raiden.

It didn't feel bad on the Raiden but something about the skates/weight/grip on the NP01s v3 just feels so nice to use on the Hyperion.

Glad that my Vaxee NP01S V3 arrived too. Always loved the original shape and between that and the XE-S from Vaxee those were the only mice I used for a decently long time before trying the Superstrike (then using the X2H Mini CL as a stop gap).

The 'dongle' is comedy on this mouse, it's basically a little shot glass. I do like having DPI & HZ buttons all on the dongle rather than the mouse and the 'cust' button is great too. I can run the mouse in 1k hz w/o motion sync or comp mode for regular use - then just tap custom once and it'll change to my 4k profile with motion sync + competitive mode in place.

Those features sound bloody useful. I just run 2k polling all the time. I think Vaxee mice were having problems at esport events due to wireless interference, which is why they went with a beast of a dongle. Pad looks great too.
