OT: Video Game Thread Part VII

[JojoTheWhale]

Now I have a wireless Filco Majestouch Convertible 2 with browns. I like it a lot. It is built like a tank and crazy heavy for a keyboard.

Filcos will outlive you. My first modern mech was a Majestouch 2 when they launched in 2011. It's still going strong with zero issues and I hit the keys pretty damn hard.

Truth hurts Jojo. Truth hurts.

Bless your heart for thinking I have time to play anything anymore.

You should see my mouse. I had to move to a vertical one. It saved my wrist, but it looks ridiculous. You hit the buttons almost like a trigger.

This?

Truth hurts Jojo. Truth hurts.

This?

Very close to it.

Very close to it.

I bet when you click on spreadsheets using that thing you go "Pew! Pew Pew!"

that looks uncomfortable to use

that looks uncomfortable to use

Guy at work has one. Swears by it. Says it’s uncomfortable until you learn to use it then it’s more comfortable than a normal mouse. Supposedly that angle is a natural resting angle for your hand, ergonomics and all that jazz.

Overwatch 2 is shaping to be a total disaster which is hilarious.

This exactly. It was extremely awkward for about a day. Moving it around wasn't the hard part for me. It was clicking a button and having it stay in place. But my radial tunnel issues have completely cleared up. Night and day.

They make vertical trackballs too. I have a buddy who does his design work on one of those things while in a hammock.

Is this one of those things that you have spares of in your keyboard graveyard? I've always been intrigued by these things, but im not sure how they'd flow with MMO gameplay

Even I'm not nutty enough to have an extra $100 mouse.

Do you use many mouse buttons? It's only got 5 including the middle.

 

[Striiker]

Speaking of people using odd input devices, whenever I'm playing CS and someone says "sorry I'm using a trackpad right now" I get as mad as Jim Jackson when someone passes the puck to a wide open teammate instead of taking a bad angle shot, against a ready goalie, with three players in front of them.

I recently started using a 17 button Corsair, but im not 100% sold on it still. I want to be, but im fairly confident I could just as easily not use it and be perfectly fine still.

It's also entirely possible I just need to dedicate the time to REALLY programming it as opposed to just lazily mapping the buttons to initial keystrokes

Logitech G Pro wireless mouse for me after having the Razer Viper Ultimate for a couple years. Basically replaced it because the scroll wheel went to shit way to quick.

And this is the keyboard I'm going with for a while now (Wooting Two):

Fully optical and analog key switches.

So the otaku/anime nerd in me can't resist.

Those button numbers are killing me.
1 4 9 12
2 5 8 11
3 4 7 10

Why does it flip the order halfway through!!!

 

[trostol]

i can see how that vertical mouse might be nifty once one gets used to it

anyway..Steam Deck..anyone get one..interested?
