Even if you aren't gaming, it's worth it. I like it so much I bought a second one to use at work.

You can even "tune" the mouse to the particular type of mousepad you use, and it optimizes the tracking and performance.

It's like going from a 60hz LCD screen to a 144hz one. You don't know what you're missing until you try it. Once you have tried a mouse that's truly accurate and response you can't go back to lesser models.

Sorta like driving a twin. Once you have, it ruins you for life, because all (excluding Ferrari+ level of supercars) other car's driving feel is now inferior.

Well, today is mrs humfrz's 70th birthday.

DANG, that woman is getting old -

I bought her a dozen long stemmed red roses and our daughter is bringing over supper for tonight.

So, since my work is done, it's time for my nap -

Seems cool! I prefer super simple mice, no frills. I don't even like side buttons or a tilt wheel; just left and right click with a mouse wheel also, no LEDs, they make me nuts

I preferred my old DeathAdder but it died when the pickups for the laser went out. the Taipa is OK but not my favorite.

I'm left handed but use my mouse right handed, always have. You can't game effectively with a left-hand mouse, or at least I can't.
Funny thing, I'm mostly right handed but do many things, like using a mouse, left handed. (leftt side brain injury) I too have a Razer Taipa which I use with a small, coated metal pad for my laptop. The cord is badly frayed right near the mouse from dragging across the pad.
I also have a EVGA TORQ X10 and a large Razer pad for gaming. I do not use the side buttons on either as I tend to hit them by accident all the time.
Speaking of gaming, I use the arrow keys and number pad in place of WASD and the surrounding keys.
(Oh, side note... I mouse left handed but learned to use a right handed mouse at work. My co-workers whom I shared the computer with were all righties. So, I still use the left button for the main and the right button as secondary.)

Got a letter from HOA claiming I’m working on the vehicle and making a noise in the garage all the hours of night... I haven’t worked on my car since early last month PLUS that work was installing intake pipe & oil cooler, which was done middle of the day and doesn’t require ANY noise. Hell, I can prove em wrong, cuz I have 2 security cameras in our garage and can see I haven’t worked on my car or make any noise inside the garage after 7pm... hell by 6:30, my wife is telling to start cooking dinner. lol

This is 2nd false accusation letter got since we’ve moved in into this place. Last one was claiming we don’t park our car in our garage & our 3rd car need parking pass or else, it’ll be towed away. First of all, we don’t have 3rd car. Secondly, we ALWAYS park our cars inside our garage. Sadly back then, we didn’t have security camera inside the garage, so couldn’t prove em wrong.

Is it worth bitch at HOA or just ignore those assholes? I just don’t want ANY false accusation making us looking bad.

I would fight and have it removed since you have proof. If like many of those HOAs they will accumulate "infractions" and give you big fines. The fewer on your "record" the better.

Well, that's too damn bad. Is your HOA administered by a management company or by a local organization (of homeowners)?

If it's a management company I would suggest you personally contact (if possible) the site manager for that account. Then explain the situation and ask for clarification.

If it's a local HOA find out who is the president (NOT the secretary), make an appointment with him/her and request clarification of the complaint.

IF you can find out who is doing the complaining, I would suggest you contact them in person and discuss the situation.

Either way, in addition, respond in writing to the complaints.

Are you sure you don't have a jealous husband in the HOA that you have triggered? -

Bubba just drove up and I ask him what he would do - he said that he would just smack-em up the head with a tire iron -
