yo...you are doing it wrong.

that is no way to game on your pc...no way at all.
it's gonna take you days to clean off all of the jelly you have been pouring over yourself.
No I can game on my PC fine with a controller and even a mouse but it's much better at a desk for FPS. I think I'll just stick to using my generic mouse and return this. I can see this being a good mouse but for my setup it's pretty much wasteful.

I have the same mouse. Be sure to update the firmware. Before that I almost threw this thing out the window. :birdman:
Yea I did that but it's not the mouse it's me. My setup isn't kb/m friendly for gaming purposes at least. It feels much more comfortable playing with a controller with the way I'm setup.

Excuse the ashyness but that's basically how I typically use the PC in my room.
14+-+1

that's more or less how I do it. I've got a flat hardcover book under the mousepad. and a mousepad with the wrist support, like this

Yup thats the same setup I have. This mouse though since it's much bigger than my older one constantly bumps into the wrist support spot. Idk I'll figure out a way that's much more comfortable for me.

real talk, i was searching for something like that for you...:ohlawd:
Yea I'll just deal with what I have now. I don't feel like I'm at a huge disadvantage using a controller though but I know mouse>>>>>>>joystick for aiming but I can hold my own. It's not like I'm trying to play counterstrike with a controller.

at some point you should get a desk and a nice chair so you can fully enjoy the experience.
but do you man...do you.

we are always here to offer advice and help you along.

You could take an older recliner, pop a good mousepad in the right arm and a little keypad in the left. It's an idea I had for a while now to see how it goes. I already have the mousepad in mind and everything. :ahh:

Just gotta map it out and get the tools.

my desk was too short so i got a piece of acrylic glass to put on top of it to accommodate my keyboard, mouse, beer cans and coffee cup from the morning before.

they cut it to size and it cost me under $20.

alright what about 600

depends what you wanna play. but at that price point you'll wont enjoy your experience.

the core parts of my rig (cpu,mobo,ram,gpu,psu) ran me around $850, for lower end parts than mine, you'll can make due with the $600. but then you gotta add monitors,case,hard drivers, operating system, speakers and what have not.

for $600 you can build a computer RIGHT NOW that would play almost EVERY game at high settings.. key word is right now. For $600 you arent future proofing your computer much, but for $600 you would be set for at least 2 years.. No games coming out in the future (2014 at least) require a beast computer.

Al the most popular games..

Rust
Day-Z
Elder Scrolls Online
Titan Fall

that are coming out dont require a crazy computer at all

and Battlefield 4 already came out :yeshrug: thats gonna be the last crazy intensive game for awhile I believe :yeshrug: at least off the top of my head
