  1. Just ordered the Logitech G602 mouse and Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum headset. Thank you all for your opinions and suggestions.
  2. I'm not dead set on any one brand. I just like the Sensei because it's wireless and of the style I like. I'm not a competitive gamer anymore so I don't need oodles of performance. Just want something that looks nice, feels nice, and works well. The price is a bit of a turnoff and so is the fact that it's rechargeable rather than battery powered and that it won't work without the base nearby (yikes!) according to the amazon reviews. Those problems combined are a pretty big pill for me to swallow, but otherwise it's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm still on the fence about it.
  3. I am (obviously) in no position to be recommending mice to anyone, but in my quest to find a mouse I like, I came across the Steelseries Sensei. It's ambidextrous. My girlfriend is also cursed with left-handedness and she'll be using my laptop as well, so I was considering the wireless version of the sensei, which looks gorgeous. The price, however, does not, though I did manage to find them for about a $100 on amazon. They have a wired version of the sensei which is much cheaper but it's out of stock on their site. You may be able to find it elsewhere though. Not at all recommending this to you since I don't know dick about mice, but I'll leave a link so you can look for yourself https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice Right now I'm sort of divided between the Logitech G602 and the Steelseries Sensei Wireless. I am still very open to other wireless mouse options and I appreciate the responses and expertise of all who have posted.
  4. I don't doubt that they're superior. It's just preference. Same reason I chose a laptop over a desktop. Just suits me better. I often drag my laptop from my bedroom to the couch to the kitchen table to wherever. The fewer cords I have to trip me up when I'm walking down the stairs in the middle of the night, the better. I know there's little logic in it, but it's like asking someone why they like their favorite color. They just do.
  5. I don't consider myself a competitive gamer, just an enthusiast, so I don't need the craziest most high performance mouse. I just want something of quality with a little performance that works for me. I like that a lot. That's very close to the look/feel I'm going for. It looks like it would be comfortable in my hand. I don't need that many buttons but the third clicker is pretty neat. Too bad it's not wireless. I feel bad that you typed that much but you still made me laugh and hopefully it helps someone else because you seem to know what you're talking about.
  6. I'm currently using a Logitech as well and I like it. But it's just some dinky old mouse for my dinky old laptop. Not even intended for gaming. I spent a good chunk of change on my new laptop so I feel like I should have a decent mouse as well. I do remember skimming over the one you showed me though I didn't look at it in detail, which is a shame because upon closer inspection I quite like it. Thank you for your input. I will likely go with that unless somebody else can come up with something better.
  7. So I just ordered a new Alienware 17 R3 gaming laptop with most of the optional bells and whistles included. Yes I know that you can get more for less with desktops and I looked at several other laptops. This was just the best choice for me and I like to play on my couch or bed and I prefer laptops for their mobility, keyboards, and for ergonomic reasons, but that's beside the point. Anyway, while waiting for it to arrive, I've started shopping for accessories. I've already ordered a good cooling pad. Now I need a decent mouse. I looked at Targus and Logitech and some of the Razor gaming mice, as well as shopped around on Google. I have been unable to find anything that I like so I'm hoping to get some suggestions. My biggest requirements are that it must be wireless and it must look like something an adult would use, not something that looks like the Power Rangers might summon a megazord with it. It also must be fairly small and ergonomic. I sort of want the look/feel of a typical mouse but with the performance of a gaming mouse. A tall order, I know. I'm willing to shuck out as much as $100 for the right mouse. So, requirements... - Wireless - Of small/medium size - Ergonomic - Under $100 - Must look like it wasn't designed by an 8 year old Pro gamers and computer gurus, help a guy out? Thanks.

    Where are all damn AK74 mags?

    I see them pretty often in the little brown jeep-type vehicles that are scattered around military bases and cities. I also see them outside of the small building that spawns all the loot on the steps. It seems to be some sort of military building with an office and a bathroom in it. I've been having a lot more luck looting military vehicles around the bases rather than the buildings, as the buildings don't seem to spawn much nowadays.

    I think NEAF has 2 APCs, a Humvee, and 4 of the small brown military trucks that all spawn AKMs. I've only been to NWAF once briefly since the recent patch and didn't spend much time looting there, but I've heard others say that there's not much loot there since the patch. I could be wrong about that though. Right now cars, military vehicles and police stations seem to be the best places to loot. I've seen a lot of good stuff in all civilian buildings as well but not many guns in them.

    I've seen several the past few days on the APCs and little brown open-top military trucks around military bases and a few other places. NEAF is a good place to check. You might be safer just looking for one there rather than risking what you have to some rando who might shoot you rather than trade with you. They really aren't that hard to find. I've seen quite a bit of ammo and 75 round drum mags as well.

    Missed Connection: The Gorka Killer

    I listed it under off-topic because it's not especially important and in my mind, unimportant things go in the off-topic section. If I'm wrong, Admins please feel free to relocate this thread. Not a big deal really. As for the gasoline I'd say there is a fair chance he drank it. Is there a way to check whether it's water or gasoline in a container? Unless he was clever enough to drag the container onto the chainsaw to see if it gave him the refueling option.
  12. To the guy who shot me in the back as I ran out of the Gorka police station last night, I hope you drank that gasoline in my PET bottle. If you didn't, enjoy my chainsaw because I carried that thing for HOURS searching for gas for it and only got to slice up one zombie with it before you took it from me. Seriously though, I'm not upset because I found an AK and drum mag within two minutes of respawning. I'm just really curious to know if you drank that gas in my PET bottle, thinking it was water.

    What Type of DayZ Character are You?

    I probably best fit the Neutral Friendly category. Once or twice I set out to murder people but that was more of just an experiment. I'm typically friendly towards everyone I meet unless they show hostility. I like to get very well geared and carry as much loot as I can then search for people so I can give the stuff away. I also take big risks. I don't usually bother being all tactical and paranoid. I put myself in harms way quite a bit for the sake of helping others and entertaining myself, which is usually what gets me killed.

    To those who enjoy seeing more zombies

    Completely understandable, though it doesn't justify elitist vets being douchebags to anyone who doesn't want exactly what they do. I don't want this game to be anything like CoD, but I also don't want to fight a horde of zombies with naught but my fists. I lean more towards the pve side myself, but for the sake of fairness, it would probably be best to have a more diverse game than just "lets run from zombies until our lungs burst if we don't starve first." If people wanna fight zombies, bring hoards of zombies. If they wanna pvp, give them tacticool stuff to search for. If they wanna play the cowboy way, give them firepits and repeaters. There's room for all, and devs seem to be doing the best they can to satisfy everyone. That's what makes this game great, the freedom to play however you like. If you want to move away from player interaction, then there is really no point to DayZ even being an online game. As OP said, they have offline zombie games already.
  15. Found tons of 30 round mags for MP5 in every police station I've been to. Also found the actual gun itself in the 3rd station I checked. Saw a RAK and it's corresponding mag in a police station a few nights ago. Found an AK-74 sitting on top of a ruined APC at NEAF a few days ago. Also found tons of ammo, AK-74 mag and an AKM mag in and around other vehicles at NEAF. I've checked tons of civilian buildings and haven't seen many guns at all, but plentiful ammo. Besides a few locations I'd say guns are pretty rare presently. On a separate note, I haven't seen too many axes besides a hatchet. I hope they make them more common as they are pretty important for many things.
