There is some kid selling a colourful mouse and keyboard for $30 or  $15 separately each but when I asked him about it he started hitting on me and wanted to be my sugar daddy. WTF is wrong with the kids today??? He is 20 and I am not interested in kids. Damn I mean I am too young to be anyone cougar lol!


So I wanted to know, has anywhere you were dealing with ended up with the option of paying in a means other than money? I don't think anyone would believe me.

I only wanted the mouse because I dropped the one Dave and Beth bought me for my birthday a few years back one too many times during my sleep spells and am using just a regular black one now and miss the blue that matches my whole set up.

Well, that Rii RK100 keyboard is $15 US bucks brand new.  Obviously that one in the image is well used.  And that mouse... I don't know what that is but I can't imagine it costing more than $20 new either.  Were do people get off trying to sell well used equipment for what they cost new is beyond me.

Now as far as using other forms of payment goes, I have been offered trades before but never been even remotely suggested an offer like that before.  Asking to be your sugar daddy with a $30 mouse and keyboard combo, what a joke.

 let me see what I can find in the way of a mouse.

I never did buy that keyboard and mouse because that kid selling it was a perv who wanted to become my sugar daddy. Wtf... the net these days... Also remember the cost of things is more in Canada than the USA.

Yeah.  I wouldn't have gone for that deal either.  Stupid jerk!

Also remember the cost of things is more in Canada than the USA.

Yeah, yeah.  I know.  But no matter how much I try to keep that in mind, I am almost always shocked to see how much more Canadians have to pay for stuff like that.

 KT, I don't know if you liked the mouse that I'm using, but if you do and can order from Amazon.ca here's a link.

It's listed OS support is seriously dated.  But the price is certainly right.  And it kinda looks cool too.

 I don't think I've bought a better mouse in this one's price range.

Sounds like a decent budget mouse.  Though I don't understand why they would group the lighting change button in with the page up and down buttons.  They should have put it on top with the dpi button.

Although mine is not budget minded, it is one of the best mice I have ever used.  It's the Logitech G502 Proteus.

I finally got a i9 9900K for pretty close to suggested MSRP.  At the time of this post, I paid $499.  MSRP is $475.

I knew the 9900K was a bit faster than my old 8700K.  But after taking it for a test drive, the 9900K is very much so noticeably faster then the 8700K.  I ran a few cinebench R15 runs with both processors.  And here was the results.

i7 8700K @ 5.1ghz scored 1511 multi threaded.
i9 9900K @ 4.8ghz scored 1984 multi threaded.

Frankly the button placement would annoy me as I have had issues with placement of those in the past and accidentally hitting them.  The perfect one I had was the one Beth and Dave got me but I kept dropping it in my sleep (because I fall asleep during games so much now now matter what time I go to bed) and ruined it. I still have that on here but it is no longer reliable so I am currently using a cheap BlackWeb mouse.

What mouse did you have and love?

Will look it up later. Right now I want a nap as a storm is brewing
