RIP Mouse

After running poorly over the past week or so, I ended up with a broken mouse. For many online grinders this is a common occurrence, as tilt frequently sends mice into walls or worse. About a month back there was a great picture on 2p2 of the aftermath of a player's punch through his 30" monitor. My mouse however was not smashed in a fit of tilt, and in fact looks and feels perfectly fine. Unfortunately though, the hardware seems to be broken just enough to turn many of my single clicks into double clicks. I first noticed this while gaming, but assumed it was a recently introduced bug in the game I was playing. I finally realized this wasn't the case once single clicks on desktop items would occasionally result in an open command, and after uninstalling/reinstalling drivers the symptoms persisted.

My first Logitech G9 gaming mouse gave me a little over two solid years of service, providing millions of clicks. Rest in peace old friend. After looking over a few flashy alternatives, I decided to stick with the model that had been very good to me, and picked up a Logitech G9x replacement which is just about exactly the same as the G9 (both the older G9s and G9x were actually more expensive now than they were two years ago as a brand new product, strange).

I was lucky enough to be in attendance last night as the Flames hammered the Sharks 4-0 at the Dome. It was a very entertaining first period for sure and the Flames have now put in back to back dominating performances. This team might have something, though it's too early to say much.
