The Actual Desk Thread

[Scooba da Bass]

The speed of electrons in a wire has nothing to do with the rate at which the mouse reports its position back to the PC... The data rate of the interfaces, available bandwidth and medium concerned are the factors which will ultimately influence lag and whatnot...

Irrelavent.

His original post was;

wireless = latency
latency = bad

Not X brand of mouse has latency.

By popular request, my desk - albeit an old one :| Someone lend me a decent camera.

 

[RandomBastard]

[Kryten]

You know, taken out of context that sounds just plain wrong...

This is my home desk

although I actually seem to spend more time in here than anywhere else atm.

 

[Shovel]

I'm at home - this computer is in my room It's shared with the whole family (6 of us), though I have to concede that most of that is mine...

 

[babs]

Most of it spent playing CM4 by the looks of it too.

 

[Shovel]

No, that's my Dad's - I just can't find where he's put the box...
Dad is a CM obsessive, he's played every major version of the thing - which I think takes us back by about a decade (CM1 was 1993 I think - he bought it for me with our first PC and 1994 updates). It has to be said, that is a scary long time to be playing one game - excluding a his occasional bash at Madden - I wouldn't like to try and guess where the disk for that is.. it'll be under something...

And here's my desk back at Uni - perhaps a tad less cluttered than at home:

 

[babs]

Heh wilier, my sad days selling for tiny weren't wasted, I recognise that case on your desk

(at least I hope I do)

 

[Panda On Smack]

taken on the old mobile hence the crap quality. Not quite as crap as the carpet in my semi-converted loft though

It is indeed, someones in for repair (slot 1 PIII 400.......L337)

Ohh fancy port thingy

 

[gremlin]

Ohh fancy port thingy

Aye its built into the monitor base along with some small speakers - got one of those Iiyamas at work, they're rather nice

 

[fatbusinessman]

USB hub = win

Speakers, however, = lose. They're really quite abysmal in terms of sound quality.

 

[Conchabar]

Fear my desk.

[lovedaddy]

And yes, thats a logitech mx770, and yes, its total dross (thank god I get logitech gear for free).

Are you insane? The mx700 is awesome.. (I assume mx770 was a typo)

One of the things I'm eternally curious about is how it is that some people (let's indescriminantly call them "normals") and other people (let's just say "other people") manage to find that mouse so different. I have one and in constant use it's wonderful. Is it aliens?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

The design either suits you or it doesn't. Personally, I've always found all logitech mice to be horrible.

You must be used to having something very small in your right hand

 

[babs]

Is that a bottle of glenfiddich? mmmmm

 

[Mellow]

FatBusinessMan wins for having the neatest desk in the history of mankind

Don't have anything against the design but the drivers are absolute crap imho.

 

[Shovel]

In fairness the drivers have improved a lot in recent months. When I first got my MX700 I wasn't impressed, but then, I'd been using Microsoft drivers before and they are very good.
Personally, I can do everything I want with the Logitech drivers and the deign of them is abolsutely fine. The "Key Recording" feature (for buttons assigned to something like F5, say) in the latest set is a nice improvement over the copious listing of keyboard keys before.
