    *sigh* Finally getting my PC running. Well, working on it. Slowly downloading the Windows 10 install media.

    My almost-brand-new EVGA B-stock 650ti has let out the magic smoke. I guess that's what I get for using a crappy SATA power to 6 pin adapter from China off the stock 240w PSU that also has to power a Core 2 Quad.. Oh well. Submitted a ticket and I'll see what happens. (Has 1 year warranty.)

    The one time I get off my ass to actually set up my server after it sitting on my desk for months and this happens. *sigh* At least it seems to have only killed itself and nothing else.

    Did your phone get run over by a bus or something? Also, how the hell did the PCB survive that? It's clearly bent, it's amazing nothing snapped out of place.

    You're the kinda person that should own a tough plastic smartphone. Like my Photon Q. That thing stood up to a lot of damage without a scratch.

    How it died from a 3ft fall onto a carpet and not from being dropped onto hard tile, I will never know.

    So my mouse is having left click issues again.
    It randomly releases and clicks while holding, or double clicks when I click once. Have tried switching buttons in Windows, problem is still with the left click so obviously a hardware fault. Probably the switch is bad.

    I think I'll get a G502. Have been wanting one for a while, actually, it's an awesome mouse.

    I've got a G402. My only regret is not getting the G502. It's awesome.

    I've got a G602, I actually bought it before the G502 was a thing. I wanted the 502 as soon as I saw one.

    Actually. I've been wanting a G602 or similar good wireless mouse for my laptop for awhile now. (My beat up Logitech travel mouse has been thrown at a wall many times due to crappiness.)

    Maybe after you upgrade I could buy it off ya?

    I actually have a G502. There are no cons to the mouse besides the cosmetic blue glowing "G" on the mouse, its comfy, big, lots of DPI settings that makes my CS:GO fetish even better and the scroll wheel is also very nice :)

    Only problem that I have is that it collects a lot of crumbs and dirt, giving it more friction, but it already slides like its on ice, and I don't own a mouse pad.

    The weights are also cool, comes in a little case and they do affect the mouse a lot, having non makes it slide like its on ice while having them all in will give you a small workout :p

    I have the glowing G turned down so low that I can't even see that it's on unless I pick the mouse up and look directly at it. I love my G402 but I wish I had the extra bits the G502 has.

    It won't damage the mouse, but it's probably a year's worth of scrolling in 10 seconds.

    I think that Logitech knew that something like that would happen... I actually wouldn't be surprised if that's how they tested it.
