    I have one and it works just fine. Works much better in win7 than it did in 8 though.

    Wired keyboards are fine, but wired mice are horrible. It's good the logitech G602 exists, I love this thing.

    I only have to change the batteries twice a year on my controller, my mouse lasts even longer. I actually prefer heavier controllers/mice/phones, one of the reasons I don't like the ps3 controller is because it's too light.

    The PS3 controller is literally the worst I've ever used in terms of build quality. After a year (and I never even dropped it) it broke and starts pressing random buttons. Also the triggers are rubber based and they feel horribly cheap, like the whole controller.
    The reason it's so terrible is because it is a modified PS2 controller rushed in the last weeks pre-release, because nobody wanted this:

    With the amount it got used, my wireless Xbox controller ran through batteries in under a month. Branded batteries that is, not store own brands. Rechargeable conversion kit thingy at time was £15, wired controller was £20. Went wired, weighs less (still more than ps3) and the battery box isn't in the way of my fingers. Its a 12ft cable, plenty long to sit anywhere in the room.
    I hate wireless peripherals. My keyboard is wired. My mouse is wired.

    Managing cables behind a desk is not hard, drive a nail into the back of your desk, coil up excess cable, tie it with a cable tie (funny that), hang on nail. Was what I used to do when I had a desk, worked a treat with everything except power cord and VGA cable (I had a CRT). Power cords got coiled and tucked under the desk, were easy to get at. VGA cable was almost perfect length as is.

    Oh. Americans, how big do you consider a ford Taurus and does it have a rear fog light?

    I don't mind wires if they don't touch me. Mice and keyboard wires go behind the desk and are out of sight out of mind. Wired controllers are so obnoxious. I hate having to deal with a cord resting on my lap or around my chair. I ruined 2 controllers just because my chair would wheel over the cord, get caught in the wheels, and just destroy the cables. I also don't like the wire on my headset, but unfortunately my parents don't like me using speakers so I'm stuck using the headphones.

    I use wired everything but my two wireless xbox controllers. Never had an issue with them, the batteries seem to last forever too which is nice.

    Boy, you guys must be using horrible batteries if they die within a month, our 360 controllers last about half a year usually

    Taurus's are a decent size. The new generation of them are a tad bit bigger than the older ones, but I'd say they're average size. I have no idea if they have rear fog lights though.

    I was bored, so I made some pretty simple wallpapers in Blender and some touch of nodes.

    Nice walls naddy, I actually may use them!

    Also, the fuck is up with this:
    (imported from here) We are paying for 20/something and it's been like this for the past few weeks. It was going strong with 2MB/s the first few weeks we had this plan.

    Also got the SpaceTraveler3 mouse from my friend's mom, and I guess I was expecting something else, but this one is cool, and cute because it's so tiny.

    Kay.

    It's 45MB of ZIP. The blue one is slightly different because I forgot to move one of the strip in its original position.

    GET4K


    EDIT - OLD ONE ^^^

    Took 2:15 seconds each to Re-Render at that resolution vs 30 seconds at 1080.

    I have solved your banding issue as well as reducing the file size a bit. If you want me to pull down the attachment then just say.
