Got my Cherry MX switch tester from Massdrop on Monday.  Now I have to decide on what kind of switches to go for on my eventual gaming keyboard...

I have another Unicomp from Massdrop coming in today as well.  The left Ctrl on my last one stopped working which makes the whole thing pretty much useless.  I've been typing on a cheap rubber dome for the last couple months so it will be great to finally have a real keyboard again.

Got this thing today. If it wasn't for FPS's, I wouldn't need anything else

Seriously, why the hell can't they just up the resolution on those? I used to be an avid dedicated trackball user till the resolution for fps just became a no go.

I use one of those a a remote for the HTPC side of my computer.

I just saw this CST LaserTrac Glow trackball on Massdrop today.  No ideas if it's any good or not, but goes up to 1600dpi.

Hah, nice to see other trackball users. They're pretty much all I've been using for the past fifteen years.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Thinking of getting a Ducky Shine Magenta, I miss the purple glow! Probably go with browns since they seem to be good all around ones.

It seems to me that the red trackball in this mouse gives me much finer control over things. Or maybe this blue one just needs time to break in?

Nice, but I don't want my fingers tied up on the ball if I need to click. I like the thumb ball better. The original Logitech trackball with the red marble and black dots worked great. It just needed more finer dots.
