Post your computer specs!~

Why did you choose that one?

Fit the Black Theme of my workstation, compact, sleek looking and long battery life.

Just a question. Been looking for mouse, but I hate the look of gaming mouses with the nasty rgb and transformer look to them. Anyway, I can ignore all this as long as performance is good. What is the most accurate and precise mouse that is highly durable?

Any experts in mouses can tell me what makes a precise and accurate mouse? Or are they all pretty much the same besides visual designs, ergonomics, and marketting?

Check out the Logitech G Pro wireless.

Its been out for a while, so tried and true, and still considered among the best mouse, wired or wireless.

Most all modern mouse sensors are accurate and very precise, and a good wireless mouse nowadays is just as accurate as any wired mouse.

G Pro's subdued look doesn't scream gaming but it's used often in competitive FPS games due to its accuracy. It also has relatively long battery life and is light weight.

I use it paired with G915 wireless keyboard, and I love it.

If you want functionality, try the MX Master range:

- Good, comfortable size
- Can use literally anywhere as a surface
- Bluetooth + wireless dongle, can use either
- Can pair to 3 devices at once, and switching is simply the use of a button.
- Least intrusive mouse software ever, doesn't even have a tray icon to be active.
- Scrollwheel is amazing to use, can switch between ratcheted and free-spin. Wish their MX Ergo had this feature.

Downsides
- Not suitable for gaming. Polling rate is very low (90-125 Hz depending on which one you get).

actually, I like that you can switch 3 devices at once. I need to look into this feature as I have work computer and just regular, and will be using side by side as I'm working remotely due to COVID situation.

I like more smaller sized mouses. I guess not big hands? SteelSeries Rival 3 feels just right on my hands. I want something of that format and be able to switch connecting to minimum 2 devices. I like the texture grip on Rival 3, and the lightness.

Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed felt too large in my hand and I don't like those big Logitech productivity ones, too big.

In general, the feel must be light and small. Scroll wheel is also very important. I like ones that do not have too much post movement, and has too much resistance when turning. I like ones that barely have any resistance, but super smooth scrolling. Two mouses I like scrolling on are SteelSeries Rival 3, and Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500. Comfort Mouse 4500 is completely smooth scrolling, and it's quite nice. Probably not good for gaming, but works well for productivity.

If you want something similar but in a smaller package, try the MX Anywhere 2S. Has the fast switching feature, and smooth scrolling.

I wish they were low latency like gaming mice.

Well, unfortunately those are at odds with each other. Gaming mice are intended to be 'fixed' to one computer, and productivity mice tailored to multiple computers have to be compatible with everything so the performance takes a hit.

So, with these, do you have to buy additional receivers for devices you want to switch to? I want to do this for keyboard as well, can that be done simultaneously?

 

[SilverEars]

Looks like G603 does mult-device connection, but fewer with 2 devices. It's wireless with no latency, so it hits my two requirements!

It's a standard Logitech receiver, or you can use BT instead.

So everything I read about the Razer 15 2020 model said it could not be undervolted; something about a bios lock to protect against the plundervolt vulnerability. On a whim, I decided to grab Intel XTU to give it a shot. Dropping the core voltage by .120 netted me nearly 400 extra points on Cinebench R20, and this was consistent across all performance profiles. It doesn't drop temps at all, though, presumably because of Razer's heat management.

As a sanity check, I set the core voltage lower, to see if it was actually taking, or I was just getting sporadic scores because of cooling cycles or something. Sure enough dropping the voltage too low caused the system to shut down.

So not really sure why I'm able to undervolt on this model and apparently others aren't able to, but I ain't complaining. At this point I'm kinda tempted to repaste the CPU and GPU and see how much more performance I can gain.

I recently got a media server set up with a combination of old parts I had lying around and some new stuff.

Intel i5 4690k@2.8Ghz - I underclocked it so I could run the CPU cooler without a fan. As is, it runs at like 56c under full load, which it rarely ever hits.
32GB of DDR3 - Oodles of ram for ZFS cache
240GB SSD for boot
12 TB of HDD space

I'm running FreeNAS and streaming through Plex. With this setup I can get at least 3 streams of full blu-ray quality at once without any playback issues. The only fans running are the PSU and rear exhaust, so it's pretty quiet; although the hard drives are kinda loud. I think I need to stuff some foam into the bottom to damp some of that.

Ripping blu rays has been somewhat tedious, as each one takes between 20 minutes and an hour. Ripping Game of Thrones took me like two weeks off and on because I didn't realize in order for my blu ray drive to read at higher speeds I had to get a separate program.

The only thing preventing me from upgrading from this guy is the fact that the 3.5mm headphone-out doubles as an optical digital output...
