🤣 *fingers crossed* I may cry my eyes out if I had to send it in to Razer. Got the extended warranty and accidental damage cover. So provided it lasts 3 years. Though my battery has just dropped below 20% and keyboard backlight just turned off so I cant see sh*t! 😂 Thats going to annoy me. How do I turn that off?... hmmmm *fiddles with synapse* It seems my cat is now on fire and my keyboard language is now in russian.

And easy fix is to learn to touch type perfectly 😉😋

How do you like them?  I've heard mixed things about bone induction -- kinda like they sounded like you're hearing the music through a pillow.  Are they more comfortable than earbuds?

I tried some in a store and the sound was surprisingly good. 

Wasn't thrilled by the fit though, the way they sat by default seemed not to be optimal, if I moved them a tiny bit they'd be like twice as loud but they wouldn't really stay there, and it was kinda needed to not have volume just be ok when set all the way up. 

 

Didn't buy in the end, I'm more of the opposite and wanting noise cancellation. Might revisit next time I go for a particular job when I like having music but need to hear what's around.

Last piece of gear was delivered today, I'd ordered it just over a week back. It's a cheap vertical mouse that I'd found while browsing Lazada (similar to Alibaba), I was curious about the Logitech vertical mouse, but instead of getting it and then deciding I didn't like the feel, I figured buying a cheap vertical mouse would give me a chance to assess the feel. It feels weird, instead of click down to complete and see result of the action, I click sideways and it 'feels' weird, needless to say, it's gonna take an old dog like me a little time to adjust to it.

Since it's gonna be used for gaming, it has to be RGB, else I'd lose my RGB hoe creds...😉

I've not tried it for games yet, it came today, so I'm adjusting to its feel first before I'll try a game later......maybe Serious Sam BFE.

What kind of cookies did you buy ? Also Bon Appétit !

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.
