I purchased a black HHKB today for a good price (relatively speaking). Really interested in seeing what all the "hubbub" is about.

It was this, or a Poker 2 with reds. Hope I made the right decision.

That one is ok but the one I have from WASD tends to stay closed so you have to pry it open everytime to use it but the one from techkeys while similar stays open a little bit on its own....I much prefer the techkeys one.

Maybe its just a matter of bending it a pit or using it so it stays that way just my oberservations.

Actually, DT 770 M has significantly worse sound then Pro, it's made specifically for drummers. I should be getting a new cable for HD 25-13, so I guess I'll return/resell the beyers, and eventually replace headphones I keep at home with a new pair of DT 770/990 Pro, because the build quality, comfort and sound signature have impressed me.

I did check out that band Cpt. The music itself was amazing but the vocals were a bit to harsh for me. I prefer more along the lines of Rammstein, old school Metallica (pre-self titled album), love Halestorm, and a few bits and pieces from Texas Hippie Coalition.

Are you a Maiden fan at all? My favorite metal band hands down. And haha, is there any other Metallica?

Melvang · « **Reply #123 on:** Thu, 20 June 2013, 08:27:30 »

I like their music but not real familar with it. And no there is no other Metallica with the one possible exception would be the S&M album or anytime that Apocolyptica does a cover

Off to the dealership to haggle a bit on a car. Need to get the monthly payment down a little bit. The car is a 2006 Lucerne CXL with 90k miles. They are asking a shade under $12k for it.

Decided to get more efficient PSU since mine is several years old now and wasn't even 80plus. I went for a Seasonic SS-460FL2. It's a bit expensive for 460w at $110... but I was drawn in by the fact it's all passive, fully modular and one of the most efficient PSU on the market right now.
Also recently picked up cheap MSI P55GD5 and Xeon X3460 combo off ebay, and got some nice clearance sale stuff at performance-pcs Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2, some fans and a few more Akasa proslim sata cables.

I've heard they're pretty common in the US and show up for about $10 on eBay.com. OTOH, it's only the third one I've seen around here in last two years.

About the trackball... Don't expect much. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect its sensitivity sucks, based on my previous experience with fit-in-the-rack keyboards.

FWIW, buttons are crap (surprisingly, because touchpad buttons were excellent on other Cherry boards I've used) and sensitivity suffices only if you use XGA or worse screen resolution.

It's amazing how almost linear, but not really there, used browns feel. OTOH, I don't get the grey switch under spacebar. It's ridiculous.
