Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Bey Brad - Oct. 27, 2009
Since we seem to be getting a bit off topic in some other threads ...
Are there any good Bluetooth mice in the world? I had a Kensington Slimblade Trackball Mouse, which was OK but I didn't like the profile or the scrolling sound. I got a Logitech V470 instead, and it's awesome except that it lags when waking up from sleep. Which is fine, except it goes to sleep if you don't move it for five seconds.
Trying to decide if I should just bite the bullet and get an RF wireless mouse. Logitech obviously has a really extensive line-up of RF mice with tiny receivers. However, I've been reading good things about the Razer Orochi, and I find it kind of sexy.

But do I really want to spend $80 USD on a mouse?
... well, I guess the Logitech isn't any cheaper.

Im not really a bluetooth fan
Windows 7 is great, but its only giving me 700mb free disk space, having installed Needed aps; Firefox, Photoshop etc.
Need a bigger hard drive D:
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Giga - Oct. 27, 2009
um, why don't you like blutooth? Also just buy a 100gb or so one, their dead cheap pretty much anywhere at the mo
Brad: What are you using at the moment?
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Bey Brad - Oct. 27, 2009
when bluetooth works well it's awesome
when it doesn't work well, shockingly, it sucks. the kensington had no lag but the other aspects of it got on my nerves
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Ash - Oct. 27, 2009
Cause ive never tried bluetooth.
And btw, upgrading a hard drive will make me have to do the worst thing in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1MBuizr_s4&feature=fvw (Ignore the title, it shows you how to actually open up the laptop)

Then why comment on it ...
And I've opened up my laptop to install stuff several times, it's not scary or hard.

I think he has a netbook, and those are a bit more difficult to upgrade from what I hear.
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Giga - Oct. 27, 2009
I meant an external one, lol
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Maz - Oct. 27, 2009
I got a new computer recently and i love it. I wanna upgrade it to windows 7 soon to make it as good as it can be. here are the specs.
1Tb Hard Drive
8Gb Ram
Core i7 3.06 GHz
It runs everything so smooth ^^
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Ash - Oct. 27, 2009

What a silly question. Wireless Mighty Mouse, of course!
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Khel - Oct. 28, 2009
I really don't like the mighty mouse. Just doesn't feel that precise.
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Blue - Oct. 28, 2009
yeah not a fan of the mighty either, the pads/buttons on the side I trigger by accident too often and the shape aint that pleasant. Microsoft has one called the Notebook mouse 5000, just read about it on endgadet, gets along with tha macs
OK this isn't bluetooth but its damn cool http://www.humanscale.com/products/switch_mouse.cfm
I used it and it feels great.
Also, I now loath the GPU fan in my desktop, laptop is silent. It is very distracting, think I'm going to get one of the new 5000 HD Radeons. Ati really stuck it to Nvidia this time
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Bey Brad - Oct. 28, 2009
i'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic (i hope so) because i had a mighty mouse and threw it out after a while. and the magic mouse is just painful
ordered the orochi last night, please don't suck. i've read good things so ... after shipping it came to $104 CAD T_T
also blue that looks neat but i'm not paying $120 for a wired mouse
RE: Computers, Gadgets, Etc. - Ash - Oct. 28, 2009
