Find a mouse you like the shape of and look at comparable mice that have replaceable switches. Then do a quick check on aliexpress at the prices of those switches/wheels. Things have gotten better with mice.
- Comment on ASRock's $40 16-pin power cable has overheating protection designed to prevent meltdowns — company claims a 90-degree design ensures worry-free installation 4 weeks ago:
Maybe. I don’t know how to decide right/wrong for prices given how varied value judgments are. It’s not for me but if I spent $$$ for a 5090, I’d be all over this cable in a heartbeat.

Seems inline with prices for this type of cable. Also, it’s probably only useful for people buying $1000+ gpus.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 month ago:
We’ll probably never get the whole story. Itch’s update from yesterday points the finger at stripe, others could still be involved.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 month ago:
True. Collective shout targeted visa, mc, paypal and paysafe. I guess it’s possible the game storefronts acted due to concerns of one of them.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 month ago:
MC: It’s not us.
Steam & Itch: It’s the payment processors.
Gee, I wonder who people are going to believe.

The 50 series cards are pretty efficient and don’t have the transient spikes issue of the 30 series. You can get away with having a lower wattage PSU that is closer to your actual requirement instead of 40-50% headroom that used to be suggested.
- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 2 months ago:
I use Steam only for games purchased from Steam and Heroic for Epic, GOG, etc…
Heroic makes it much easier to manage games. Custom prefixes for each game with winetricks, mangohud checkbox, environment variables and so on. If the interface was better/modern with some sort of tabbed layout, I would use it for my Steam games as well.
- Comment on Banchero, Magic agree to $239M rookie max deal 2 months ago:
Unless I’m mistaken, it’s usually at least one of first team all NBA, DPOY, MVP.
- Comment on Ujiri out as Raptors vice chair, president 2 months ago:
Rogers also owns the Leafs and Jays is a Trump fan for what it’s worth.
Now for the relevant bit. During Masai’s last contract negotiation, Rogers made noises about paying him as one of the premium executives in the league. With Larry T, who is a Masai supporter, selling his stake, Masai’s days were numbered.
Masai’s tenure post-championship has been mixed but I’m in the camp that this move will lead to further instability because whoever they bring in will eventually clean house.
- Comment on The Grizzlies are trading Desmond Bane to the Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap, sources tell Shams Charania. 3 months ago:
Overpay but I kinda get what the Magic are doing. Outside shooting and playmaking were their biggest needs. This addresses more of the former than the latter. They also don’t sacrifice their defensive identity. They’re probably a top 5 team in the east and will need an upgrade at PG to jump into the top 3 tier.
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 months ago:
The monitors unboxed youtube channel does really good in-depth reviews and includes mixed usage. They also have good buying guides at various price points.
- Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 9 months ago:
Only if they’re good games that people are still interested in playing. Crappy games slash prices all the time. Exhibit A: Suicide Squad
