Let me tell you about gaming mice
Jan. 29th, 2013 11:51 pmToday I went into PC World to look at Netbooks. I've been thinking about getting one for a bit, on and off. I noticed they had a much smaller selection than the last time I went in, and as far as I could tell they had a lot more Ultrabooks - which may well be the same thing, but they didn't bother calling them Netbooks. Maybe Netbooks are out of vogue at the moment.
But in any case, I was wandering around the rest of the store, since I don't go into computer shops very often. And I ended up in the "PC Accessories" aisle, which it turned out was where they put the special mice and keyboards for gaming. And...wow. I'm sure they're very useful for PC gamers, and for people who want to play console games on their PC - I had more than enough trouble trying to use my own mouse while playing Skyrim last year (the mouse used to turn the screen effectively when I played Morrowind, but NOT ANYMORE). But in this case I think the packaging sort of outdoes the product.
You probably think your mouse is pretty good, don't you? But why have a mouse when you could have a DEATHADDER? Or maybe the Deathadder's too flashy for you. How about an ABYSSUS? Not flashy enough? How about an IMPERATOR? Or the ever-popular OUROBOROS? THE POWER OF THE GODS COULD BE YOURS. IN MOUSE FORM.
Your keyboard, how's your keyboard working out for you? There's a good chance the BLACK WIDOW would work better. Or the more efficient (probably) NOSTROMO? Or the DEATHSTALKER?
And I bet under your non Deathadder, or Death-anything, mouse, you're just using a mouse mat, aren't you? Don't you know you could be using a MANTICOR? Or a GOLIATHUS? Or an INVICTA?
I don't mean to mock these accessories too much, because I kind of love them, and want them all. But it kind of seems like you wouldn't need the games once you had these mice and keyboards. It would be exciting enough just being around the GOLIATHUS AND IMPERATOR? WHO NEEDS FALLOUT OR MASS EFFECT? Man. PC Accessories have massively come on since the last time I paid any attention to them.
