The "Shit I just bought" thread

It goes against anything I've heard but if it works for you man

I just set mine so it does 360 over 12 inches or whatever

DPI impacts CPU performance as well. I lowered mine to net a good 10fps in BF1. I ended up having to put it back though because it felt so sluggish, not a big deal if you're not trying to limp a 4670k along as far as you can before upgrading.

This explains it pretty well:

DPI is different from the typical mouse sensitivity setting. DPI refers to a mouse’s hardware capabilities, while sensitivity is just a software setting. For example, let’s say you have a very cheap mouse with low DPI and you crank up the sensitivity. If you tried to aim at small targets, you’ll see the mouse cursor jump around as you move it. The mouse hardware isn’t as sensitive, so it doesn’t detect the smaller movements. Your operating system just compensates by moving your cursor farther when it does detect a movement, so the movement isn’t as smooth.


A high DPI mouse can also be paired with a low sensitivity setting, so the cursor won’t fly across the screen when you move it but the movement will stay smooth.
High DPI mice are more useful if you have a higher-resolution monitor. If you’re playing a game on a low-resolution 1366×768 laptop screen, you don’t necessarily need that high DPI. On the other hand, if you’re playing a game on a 3840×2160 4K monitor, a higher DPI lets you move your mouse cursor across the screen smoothly without having to drag your mouse across your entire desk.

I dunno. A lot of pros lower dpi and raise sensitivity until they get 360 per 12 inches or whatever. Whatever works for you though.

I just use a death adder. Have never felt the need for anything more

My 76 year old mother loves her tablet. But over the years she has had problems with the charging ports getting ruined/damaged. (Old eyes and knocking / yanking the cord out)

I just got some of these magnetic charger cables. Fucking amazing.

Magnetic Cable

The little plug stays in the tablet, the corb has magnets that align it to the plug. Best part, it goes both ways.

Fucking Mind Bottling.

That's one thing that Apple has had right for decades

Well yes and no. They were around for years and a genius addition. However, for some stupid reason they removed it from the latest MacBook Pro models. It now charges with a USB-C hard port. Stupid move.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro kills off most of the ports you probably need
