Just wondered if zowie has improved anything with click latency now they have moved back to huanos on their benq refresh. Any ideas?

Thanks :)

I'm just thinking to customize my filco majestouch to my needs a little. My current setup is the standard cable plus a usb to ps/2 convertor which adds weight and makes it a little awkward sometimes with the cable not being as tightly fitted as it could be. So I'm hoping just to put a new cable in that uses a PS/2 plug as standard.

Is there anything like this around for this keyboard? or something close enough that'd do it?

TIA :)

I think it's maybe too early for me to definitely say I should buy one of these before someone reviews it, but I have en ec1-a and I'm not sure I want to upgrade it so soon after I got this one. I also don't like the look of the red logo, but could switch the shells if need be I guess, it just seems a little wasteful.

So I'm thinking, if I just got an old model EC mouse second user and some omron switches, I could maybe come up with my own upgrade this way.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows about the mouse wheel from previous generations of EC mice and if it would be worth grabbing one to pop the wheel in my ec1-a. Also, is there maybe some stats showing how much omrons help with these mice?

If it can be a decent improvement, I'll put the time and effort into learning how to do it and have a go at it before buying a new one depending on what the reviews for the refresh will show.

TIA :)

I've been giving a little thought about different types of surfaces with mousepads, there are glass and aluminium pads available, plastic, and cloth.

But I'm thinking more of something like a sheet of glass, marble, etc and wondering how people feel about this. Are there any decent surfaces that make great mouse pads that aren't designed for the job?

I should just mention that I have never played RTCW online, but I have played W:ET for many years (12+) and I'd love to see either of these games come back, be updated with bugfixes and new cross-platform anti-cheat and so on.

So far there is etlegacy that seems to be aimed at keeping W:ET alive, and it looks like they're doing a decent job with the client/server fixes. They also have a mod that comes with it, but I feel their own 'legacy' mod is far from the mark in terms of wolfenstein games making a comeback. What I think people want from a mod is something competitive and really they'd do better by making their mod an etpro clone.

For the game staying alive or coming back, I think what's really needed is a sensible sequal with similar but not identical gameplay, much updated graphics and a leaner, smoother feeling to gameplay. I can imagine some community efforts fixing some of this, but an actual sequal seems far away right now.

Thoughts?

So I'm the market for a new mouse and I'm currently using an FK1, but I'm almost sure I'll get en ec1-a for a better grip now that Zowie have updated their lines. My only concern really comes down to the tracking of the mouse after comfort and well performing sensor is taken into account.

What I mean is, can I do better than the ec1-a with the 3310 in terms of tracking? The other thing that I'll need is a good sensor implementation for whatever mouse I get, low jitter and no acceleration or angle snapping, 400dpi, etc.

Also I want to get a new mousepad that suits me well. My idea of a good mousepad is something that does well for in-game tracking, a quick start, ability to place accurate and well placed shots and some speed for slingshot aiming. I have in mind the artisan hayate otsu MID, as a lot of people recommend artisan pads and they seem to live up to some of their marketing.

Basically I'm wondering what the best cross-platform shooters are for competitive gameplay. I use linux so cross-platform is a must, I'm not bothered if it needs a loki installer or a cd, or steam but I prefer cd's with official installers.

So, I'm thinking about getting the following:

CS:GO (steam)
Earlier versions of CS (cd + loki installer)
Quake 4 (cd)
Doom 3 (cd), have a feeling it's not competitive.
UT2004 and the new UT when it has an official release

Also happy to pick up any quake or CS style games if they're still being played competitively.

I'm currently playing urbanterror casually and I'm wondering if anyone can comment on if it's still popular at a competitive level.
