Posted July 17, 2017 What gear, product or service made you swear a vow to never purchase again? Try to avoid blacklisting an entire brand if you can help it, lol. Due to lackluster performance and noise, my never again product, or at least one of them, CORSAIR FANS. *Opening thread up to beyond computer hardware.

Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I actually keep a list Lexar, for USB drives D-Link, for anything Ubisoft, for their DRM and general attitude toward PC Edit: forgot a few I've been keeping subconsciously in my head but not written down Apple, for their general behaviour and how the hardware and (especially) software works Sony, for anything that I need to login to, give info to, etc. Edited July 17, 2017 by Ryan_Vickers Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Posted July 17, 2017 I had purchased a Corsair Vengeance 1100 headset in the past which was horrendous, build quality was bad and it broke with careful and light use.... Those days are thankfully over now... it's all about the quality headphones and modmic now. Like watching Anime?

Posted July 17, 2017 Author I can't hate Corsair as a whole, their sails are sweet and if it wasn't for Ryzen memory scare, I'd have probably went with Vengeance LED ram lol Hmmm other nopes for me are Team flash drives and MSI/Asus motherboards.

Posted July 17, 2017 Logitech, anything I ever bought from them has broken Turtle Beach, same problem Rosewill, same problem ASRock, same problem MadCatz, same problem Lenovo, just terrible support Sony used to be on the list until I bought a PS4, but it's back on the list because my USB ports don't work and my controller will not hold a charge. It also skips when playing blu-rays, requiring me to use my Xbone instead which is hilariously ironic As for not tech companies Anything Ford Ryobi Megablocks Pepsi products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Shit breaks its electric's What I look for more is value for money and in that regard Razer Headsets, Both sets the left side stopped working and the Krakens were so stupidly uncomfortable. Love my Razer KB+MS and haven't had any of the Quality issues everyone else seems to get and i'm on my 3rd Death Adder and like 6th Keyboard.

Posted July 17, 2017 Just now, Daniel Z. said: why dlink? and I found your yt from an ncix video We tried both a router and webcam from them and ended up taking both back for several reasons each. I figure if they can't get either of those right, there isn't much hope for anything else so just don't bother any more.

Rosewill I find is really hit or miss, I bought one of their mechanical keyboards and it's served me great. Had one keycap break but that was probably due to being too rough when trying to clean it. But yeah that's just my two cents on those two brands from prior experience. Like watching Anime?

Must be your internet connection, I stream 1080p just fine. Occasionally it loads low quality but increases resolution a few moments afterwards.
