Actually, you are mistaken. This is Ninja

I use just a regular keyboard for now, suits my uses just fine. Although, when I do buy a new keyboard, I'll probably get a G15. Granted, I'll have no desk space left, but I think it'll be worth it for the macro goodness in WoW.
 
I knew you'd show up. 🙂 BTW ladies, I DID PM him. He failed to respond. He was looking for ideas a couple of weeks ago...

BTW, on speedtest I scored about 5K down 500up. =( My local cable provider blows.

I have the G15 also. Dell makes pretty good keyboards too. They've always been pretty well rounded, and have actually improved with time. They're durable, easy to read, have a good standard layout, and have just the right touch on the keys. Maybe I'm just use to it. My GF's 3 (4 now?) year old Dell keyboard is better than my 5 (6?) year old one. Both are "quiet key" boards. Pretty standard. I tried that stupid Ideazon ZBoard. Sold it right away. Keyboards are still something that they haven't been able to get quite perfect yet. Mice however, are nearing perfection IMO. Razer is great. The ridges on my copperhead are a bit rough, and I hate the side buttons, but the weight and click and tracking are excellent.
 
So when you buy a new gaming keyboard, remember to do a review on it.

If anyone knows where I can pick one of these up, I will gladly do an (amateur) review on it. If the g15 was wireless I would already have one, but I sit across the room from my box, and I just know if i strung a USB cable across my room it would be dog/3-year-old/drunkpete bait.
 
a review on computer chairs would be nice...seriously

I should be considered a chair expert.

I suffer from wide butt disease. Wide butt disease is common in middle age men (and women) that spend way too much time in a chair, and not enough time on the dance floor (or running laps or whatever).

I have a serious case of wide butt disease, which makes my opinion on chairs quite valuable. If a chair is durable for me, it will be durable for others as well.

And I suffer from pickiness disease. It can take me two hours to pick the right blue shirt to wear. Purchasing a new chair for me can require more time than a woman gestating a child.

I think I should be hired to evaluate chairs on a worldwide basis at the various chair manufacturing excellence centers. Many chairs are made in China, but they are actually designed in various Scandinavian countries, Italy, Austria, Germany, Brazil and of course Australia and scenic Hawaii.

I will be willing to spend an appropriate amount of time at each design center, evaluating current and future designs. If Tom's can advance me an allowance to cover my travel and living expenses, I am sure I can accomplish this task in, oh, let's say about 2 years? At which time I will file a full and meaningful expense report and my detailed evaluation of the best (and worst) chairs on the market.

One last question. Those tickets will be for first class travel and will include both my wife and my mistress?
 
I am also pretty picky about the chair I use. Its one of the few things I don't generally worry about cost for.

Sorry, I'm just bored and figured this thread was as good as any to post too.

Its either this, or my ongoing argument about the relative merits of making an internal USB floppy drive and whether floppies are dead. Its actually quite the funny thread, considering all the misconceptions of the OP (did you know that floppies connected using an IDE cable?)
 
Thats a nice keyboard you got! Almost got that myself.

I just picked up one of these Z MERC the only thing I do not like about it is where they located the delete key, otherwise the gaming pad is really nice.

I have large hands and the gamepad is laid out for a large hand, I really don't think it would be a good choice for a person with small hands, but thats just an assumption based on where the Jump key is located.

The software is really nice saved me a lot of configuring time, since my favorite games to play are preprogramed into the control panel of the keyboard, just select the game you're gonna play and the buttons are configured for you, nice.

It is taking some getting used to, but the more I use it the better I like it, anyway I give it a thumbs up.
 
I'm not sure if mine has a brand. I just know that I spent a long time sitting in various chairs to find one that is micro suede, has padded armrests, and is curved to provide lumbar support.

Now my old chair, which coincidentally I passed off to my wife, was a ripped up, semi-broken pleather piece of crap. Hey, I offered her a new one. :twisted:
 
Does it connect PS2 or USB?

This Zmerc is USB with special software and is a little finicky, mine came with a warning to make sure I kept it in the same USB port I originally installed the software on, or problems would occur if I changed it to another USB port.

This is really the first USB keyboard I've used on the PC, had one with my laptop, but don't remember it being USB port critical, but there is a lot more software to this K/B.
 
PS2 makes it basically plug and play unless theres additional software for the perks of the K/B, if you live close enough [preferably USA] I'll send you an adapter, if you want, I've got an extra one of them I'm not using?

If you are in the US so I could send it First Class Postal, PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you, I've done this kind of thing for a lot of people here at the forums, if you need references let me know.

If you live outside the US it will cost me more to send it than I'm willing to loose, I hope you understand that.
 
When gaming for a while, all that stuff about supporting you lumbar and proper posture really becomes bloody appearance and necessary.

I have been through so many chairs, the last time I was searching for a new chair the wife and I went to our local Office Depot and basically spent the afternoon there.

I think the employees thought we were never going to leave, but all the chairs have a certain comfort when you first sit in them but what about long term, some get really uncomfortable.

Finally found exactly what I was looking for and have not the first time regretted getting it.

Pros: Fully adjustable period

Cons: The Headrest did drop a little too easy, but a Nylon Wire tie stopped that altogether.

Comments: I would make the same purchase again.

So heres my chair reccommendation.

the 640 and so far it laugh,s at the video games i play :lol:

well except f.s.x. and oblivion. but it runs a low of around 30fps
in oblivion according to fraps.

that is with all sliders maxed except for self shadows.
and i cant use a.a. and hdr at the same time.
thought you could with the 8800cards?
still looks great though.
 
Personally, I could never use something like that at home. I need to have full length padded armrests. I have some problems with my elbows from HS Hockey, and they get irritated very quickly without padding.

This is close to what I have, though I paid around $160 for mine.

The chair I have at the office (the few days a month I am there) isn't bad for a cheap office chair. I actually have it tilted backwards so that my but is a little lower than my knees. Its more comfortable for me to lean forward and type or lean back and read that way.
