What Have You Bought?

Recommended Posts

That mouse is trash EE, sorry. I bought one and I just couldn't stand how fussy and inaccurate it is. I never cared about mouse resolution until I got that and struggled to move the mouse in small increments.

Good news is if you complain and review it low, they'll offer you a refund and alternative product free. (But I didn't bother because I assume they're all trash)

Why is it so hard to find a full size wireless mouse now that isn't a gross LED/snake covered gamer mouse with a keyboard on the side?

I would rate the Apple Magic Mouse below that Tecknet £7 mouse just because it can't be used while charging. It also puts minimalistic style >>>>>> ergonomics.

Collected over the past 2 months, I never actually caught much of season 2 on TV, so whilst I get to relive what I did see I also get to experience the rest for the first time

Finally own a Switch, purchased earlier this month.  Not pictured, the MicroSD card and Hollow Knight.

Fake Apple fanboy aside (I generally hate most of Apple's stupid decisions*), I do love the Apple mouse. I've had it since January and have charged it 2 or 3 times, which only took about 30 mins. Plus the swipe scroll being both horizontal and vertical is huge benefit to me. Ergonomics did take a while to get used to, but I'm fine with it now.

*Like the Macbook pro having no standard USB ports (so brave, so courageous), yet still supplying the Apple Mouse (which was released after the Macbook Pro) with a USB charger and no USBC adaptor. Fucking dense.

See I really want/need to update my old MacBook Pro at some point, but the lack of USB ports stops me from doing so. Where would I plug in my Wacom tablet? D:

It is supposed to work wirelessly as well, but I never seem to get it to work properly (plus it needs to charge by being plugged in). Stupid decisions indeed.

I actually have to use a Macbook Pro  from time to time at work and I have a pretty decent third-party adapter that solves that problem, and there are plenty of options available.

Does the Apple mouse have a third button yet? Pretty sure an old version didn't and so you couldn't use it (or at least use it in isolation) with certain software.

Not that I have noticed, unless there's a trick/gesture/setting I've missed.

I use these, which have been good and certainly haven't hampered charging performance etc: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Ailun-MacBook-ChromeBook-Devices/dp/B074P2VPB6/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1530135911&sr=1-3&keywords=ailun+usb+c

The fact that I even have to use them at all is stupid though. Like, I get the push for USBC, but even Apple themselves seem non-committed to it, so it's pointless not to have a single USB socket on there.

The Macbook Pro is a beautiful bit of kit though. Flawed and way overpriced, but beautiful.

The blu-rays are Criterions. I specifically bought El laberinto del fauno to try to get it signed, but that didn't pan out.

I also received something else today, after 5 years.. I'll post that here.

Yeah, @Shorty, it was alright but the tracking was kinda bad at times.

I decided to buy an upgrade in the Prime Day sale, this was £16 and already so much better.

If you haven't already played it on PC or Xbox, grab Hollow Knight, what an amazing game. Then grab the recent physical release of Sonic Mania Plus. Then I guess if you have time, Breath of the Wild.

I seem to be buying clothes at the moment

Some light grey formal trousers that I can't find a picture of. No idea why I got them though as it's been ages since I wore formal trousers but I seem to be buying a late summer evening outfit.

@Shorty it was actually the first game I picked up as I'd been waiting to play it after watching a streamer. :) Thanks for the recommendation though!

Let's jump on this thead then..

I've got the lovely Sennheiser PC 373D headset for my PC rig. Reeeally nice sound to it, and really crisp and well balanced, as expected of Sennheiser.

And I've bought a cheap cask strength whisky (55.9%) from one of my favorite distilleries, Bowmore. Going to a LAN this weekend where I'll pop it open. If it's as good as the reviews say, I might have to buy another bottle for later...

Decided to move my main PC into my front room and make more of a show of it, then move my Oculus down there too :D gonna be much more room for VR and easier to shuffle everything out of the way.
