I've decided that I wouldn't be half as good at TF2 without my gaming mouse with on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment buttons.Troy wrote:About 100 in mail in rebates, which I printed off...one of which will be a 50 dollar gift card at Newegg, which I will probably either spend on a gaming keyboard or some new speakers.
Also I love my gaming keyboard with LCD (I have a clock/performance monitors/WinAmp controls even in full-screen games...) and back lit buttons. I regret not those decisions to purchase.

Thought about that too, but that 50 dollar gift card was the damn carrot that got me. If I got that particular windows(the best you can get) I got a 50 dollar gift card, and since it was from Newegg, I know I wasn't going to get screwed over, there turnaround rate for it was only like 4-6 weeks.GORDON wrote:Why I went with Home Premium. $80 cheaper and I couldn't think of a thing I'd need that Home Premium didn't have.Cakedaddy wrote:Holy shit Windows is expensive.
I'm gonna do a before and after picture and performance testing and everything, for sure.
Tell me more. I'm not all that great at TF2, but I just use a crappy old Logitech cordless. Could changing my mouse make that much of a difference?GORDON wrote:I've decided that I wouldn't be half as good at TF2 without my gaming mouse with on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment buttons.

Playing as a sniper, I reduce sensitivity in my mouse so small movements while zoomed don't go all over the place. Sort of hard to describe. I don't hit a thing playing sniper with my Heavy setting set.
And the mouse in general is lightyears smoother than my old generic microsoft laser mouse. It was $70 well-spent.

Well, I use a corded mouse too, not only because the batteries but because of the latency. I've read complaints about hat with cordless devices.
But I love changing resolution on the fly, and I do it a lot.
edit - I still don't know WTF to do with the balancing weights, though. I just took them all out so it required as little muscle power as possibly to move the mouse around. Muscles = shakiness.

K, finally got vista installed, and seems it was a different problem.
Apparently my board doesn't like IDE DVD/CD Drives.
It detected it enough to be very slow when installing vista, but either it died right after, or it + vista makes it so it doesn't work.
I need to go tomorrow buy a new one.
Extremely aggravating, to say the least!
