What is the most useful piece of tech you have purchased lately (or ever)?

[iLLucionist]

Gaming mousepad probably. In come configs/budget ranges it makes more difference than the mouse itself.

Good one. No longer scraping mouses over my wooden desk.

Are you saying you don't like that grating sound of plastic on wood?  )

I didn't have a mousepad at work for a while. When I finally got one the difference was night and day. Not sure how I went so long without.

I know exactly what you mean. I have a roccat hiro 3d now... it is sooo smooth.

Gotta get giant cloth pads..  they're best for low sen.. and comfort..

Good tip.. advise on what to buy exactly?

The washable kind )

Good tip! Probably gonna spill some cognac om em f**ker. I like those big sick ass clothing pads. Gonna contrast nice with my white desk.

All mousepads that are stitched looks like that..

They also make non-stitched pads but the edges will fray up eventually, but you could just cut the stitching off if you don't like it..

Purchasing a car with a Bluetooth audio package. When I was first looking at my current DD Bluetooth audio wasn't a make or break it for me. I saw it as nothing more than a nice little bonus, not really something that was really part of my calculus on whether or not I should choose one vehicle over another. It has been amazing and I can't imagine driving a car without it. Hands-free audio for phone calls and no AUX cables for my podcasts or music. Truly, a wonderful piece of tech. Super convenient and also makes me a safer driver!

Of course, phones, computer, a good keyboard, and all of that are really useful pieces of tech. I ignored all of those because those are, in my mind, necessary. Picking one of those almost seems like cheating.

Mehh.. what about a VT-100 in the place where the nav screen should sit. THAT would be awesome. And what about cherry blue switches on the wheel instead of tip keys. And a mech keyboard built in.

I always find bluetooth audio unreliable in cars, but maybe a lot has changed. I'm mainly speaking of experience with Volkswagen cars.

It wouldn't make me a safe driver... I would listen to minimal techno / house and drive 200kmh through the city center coz the beat man!

It wasn't a significant consideration at the time, as I said. However, in retrospect any DD I purchase in the future must have a proficient Bluetooth audio system.

Unless if this was installed into a fully autonomous vehicle I would more than likely crash. I want to improve my safety (while still having access to phone/music/podcasts), not run over innocent bystanders.

Mine has been incredibly reliable. My car is not a Volkswagen, it's a Hyundai. Fords system is decent, though not as streamlined as my Hyundai though the Ford has more features.

I finally brought home the C-Tech Anthea XL mousepad. It's very good for the price (I paid €7 locally), and I love that it's only 27cm deep, which might be insufficient, if you use very low sensitivity, but I don't, and my tray is only 30cm deep anyway. The red C logo on the right can be annoying, but I've covered it by a trackball, so no issue there.

That you can buy a mat for so little money!

I paid that much for a QcK mini 5 years ago, and that was the cheapest okay mousepad for the price back then (at least here), but yeah, you can apparently buy a thicker, stitched desk pad for the price now.

Logitech G602

Of all the mice i have owned/reviewed/borrowed/sold etc etc...

It checks off every single box for me minus one..the weight

130G with one AA 152G with two AA's installed.

Asides from that it's quite literally my perfect mouse and i have tried or owned (or still own) most of the ""gamer favorites" which i generally personally find lackluster.

Why do you and others consider that so heavy? Is it really too heavy for.. what.. FPS or something? Or just a preference?

Honest question: I usually like heavier mouse and have the feeling it makes me more precise.

Honest question: I usually like heavier mouse and have the feeling it makes me more precise.

Over long sessions it gets fatiguing to move in quick movements compared to other mice i have owned/used etc.  The Razer Deathadder Chroma is HUGE and even it only weighs 105G by comparison so with two AA's in use the G602 weighs 30%+ more.  It's not unbearable or i would not be using it as my daily driver, but i'd definitely rather it be closer to around 90-100G.

So too heavy for twitch FPS movements?  Yes enough so i swap it out for FPS games personally, for other uses it's tolerable only because i love the rest of the mouse so damn much.  But seriously it's a behemoth compared to other mice on the market weight wise.

Yeah, I can see that. Because I also cook a lot, I'm oftentimes holding large pans in my right hand, moving them around. So I don't really feel the weight of a "tiny mouse" (in comparison) anymore.

I'm in the process of working on a review but thus far for it's pricepoint it's actually fairly impressive.  MUCH more so than the Corsair KATAR was for sure.

Basically if you are a fingertip grip user not many new mice have come out with that grip specifically in mind for quite some time and the ones that have are fairly MEH...SO when a new one comes around claiming Zero accel and gaming focused and this and that all those people that use that grip get excited since the market mostly focuses on Claw and Palm grip users.

Price got one for 15 bucks.
And it's not the best out there, but if you are on the verge of buying one but don't know if you will like it. 15 bucks for a waterproof fitness tracker with heart rate tracker, sleep tracker and alarm is a great deal to find out if you do.

Also you can set up apps to set off your alarm.

Over the last few years, I think one of the best things I have ever purchased was a thumb trackball. It was a solution for a cramped workspace a few years ago and I haven't looked back since then. I only use a regular mouse when I game. Even then, some stuff is fine with a thumb trackball.

I'm in the process of working on a review but thus far for it's pricepoint it's actually fairly impressive.  MUCH more so than the Corsair KATAR was for sure.

What is the deal with the Corsair KATAR anyway? I don't really get why it is so popular in the gaming communities.

I see your point. Looks like the mionix castor would also be a contender.. Looks largely similar in terms of shape.

Basically if you are a fingertip grip user not many new mice have come out with that grip specifically in mind for quite some time and the ones that have are fairly MEH...SO when a new one comes around claiming Zero accel and gaming focused and this and that all those people that use that grip get excited since the market mostly focuses on Claw and Palm grip users.

A phone.
I don't know why this wouldn't be on someone's list of top purchases.

A phone is the one piece of tech that I wish could be un-invented, think how much better the world would be without them.

To add to the thread, my most useful piece of tech might simply be my solar powered watch.

A modern phone with tactile buttons would be #1 on my list

At least that's a step up from no feel.  Does my new Fisher space pen count as a tech purchase?
