I have had some bad luck with Logitech wireless (mostly rechargeable headphones) the mini USBs always seem to break after a few months no matter how careful you are, that being said I do use a pair of Artemis 933s headphones and the new trackball mx ergo mouse which is awesome I haven't used any other type of mouse in the last 10 years ( I hate mouse pads and just the way that you need to always have a flat surface) so I don't see a problem with the mice also their keyboards are decent but ill stick with my corsair Cheers and a merry Christmas

I just bought a Thermaltake 850w rgb psu for 119bucks on Newegg so a 500w should be about half that -

I have been in the Sudan Somalia and Etienne --most of my military career was spent in that part of the world and yes -I- would definitely be a boor if -I believed that a computer would fix- the world.but without technology we stand less of a chance of getting water to those villages so their women dont have to walk 10 miles a day just for water and technology is going to show them how to irrigate their crops -

OK this got far from where I was really trying to take it so I must have stated my case fairly badly and for that, I am sorry I was just trying to create a collaborative effort in critical thinking on a topic that Unless you are involved in this industry most people just don't give two shakes about. they buy a computer every 2 years get a new phone every year and dont care what happens to the stuff they throw out. how many people out there in this conversation know for a fact what goes down in a landfill. I am not trying to make anyone feel guilty or bad I am just hoping to a awaken a certain thought or spark, I am truly sorry if I have given the wrong impression of a dullard or holier than thou tone of speech -

my point to starting this thread was and is to get people thinking that "eh its no big deal" can be considered complacent. do you know that there are families suffering right now in America and Canada due to the lack of a computer? those things we have and take for granted like oh I'll just post my resume or ill just walk into a home depot or lowes or.... and use their computer kiosk to fill out a job application. when there are over 2 hundred THOUSAND illiterate people in the united states alone! and probably twice that many computer illiterate everyday children suffer because of illiteracy I have been to countries around the world where the infant mortality rate is as high as it was a thousand years ago. anyway yall proved my point to some extent please donate your used electronics that you don't sell and maybe try to participate in a program like free geeks and educate those who are less fortunate and do your best to educate others on how to keep our landfills free of toxic E waste.oh and one more thing. back in the late 1800s early 1900s the automobile was just a "fad" that was NEVER going to replace horse mule and donkey food for thought -
