My 3rd review

GIGABYTE GM-M8000X Rubber Black 7 Buttons USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE GM-M8000X Rubber Black 7 Buttons USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Ok. This is my third review. My mouse had stopped tracking on mousepads and it seems the issue was related to the "perfect tracking precision" tool in the software. For some reason it was disabled and not calibrating. I enabled it and the mouse is stellar again! Strange issue as I did not disable this feature.

Cons: Buggy software?

Overall Review: Buy one and if it stops tracking check the PTP setting in the mouse GUI.

My second review

GIGABYTE GM-M8000X Rubber Black 7 Buttons USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE GM-M8000X Rubber Black 7 Buttons USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: See my previous review.

Cons: After just over a month this HID stopped tracking on fabric mousepads. It now only tracks on my desk surface. I am very disappointed. I have been an avid Gigabyte supporter for years and now feel a bit skeptical about their products. After reading the similar issues from other owners I do not know what to do.

Overall Review: Firmware update? RMA? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!

Corsair Vengeance K60 Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Performance, FPS Mechanical Keyboard

Pros: Stylish, Cherry swtiches are awesome. Volume and media controls are nice.

Cons: Not all keys are mechanical. That does not bother me. After just a few hours of typing the most used keys started to fade. After 3 weeks I now have keys that are barely readable. I am so upset at this as my cheapo Dell KB I used for 5 years that cost $8 are still vivid and readable. The paint on these keys is a joke. I purchased this board after buying the vengence FPS mouse which I love. However I cannot recommend this to anyone until the quality issues are fixed.

Great product by Corsair

Corsair Vengeance M60  Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse
Corsair Vengeance M60 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse

Pros: Adjustable DPI via software. Then selectable by switch. The Software for this product works great. It saves the settings and is in no way affected by reboot. The sniper button works wonderfully. I also liked the workmanship and the tactile input of the clicks.

Cons: A little small for my hand. (most standard sized mice are).

Overall Review: Like this so much ordered the FPS keyboard as well. This is my first Corsair product outside of RAM. I can see why they have such a following.

Lian Li Lancool

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K57 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI Lancool PC-K57 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I purchased this case from Newegg for $49 on sale. I have to say for the money this is the best case I have ever purchased. The steel is thick and sturdy. Cable management is decent and it has a front USB 3.0 port albeit connected through a rear pass through cable. I experienced no cuts from working in this case. It has 8 expansion card slots that are vented. All in all another winner for Lian Li. Of whcih I own several. I was very surprised at the value of this case. I was not expecting such attention to detail for $49.

Cons: Front audio jacks on mine are so tight that my 3.5 mm plugs needed significant force to allow them to be secured. Connecting them makes me fear for the front panel board. -1 star.

Overall Review: Installed in this case: Gigabyte z68-ud3p 16 GB GSkill Sniper RAM DDR3 1600 2x ATI HD5770 in X-fire 500 GB SATA III WD Caviar Boot drive 1 TB Samsung Data Drive Antec 650 Earthwatts PS Antec True Quiet 140mm Fans for Intake All parts bought with free shipping.
