Borbus Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Revolution is one of the best mouse they made (unless your an hardcore LAN gamer). I however dislike the fact by default you lose your middle click which I use a lot for tabs in IE. However my brother gave me a little hint which made me install the Logitech crapware software again. You can finetune the mousewheel.By default it's a normal mousewheel. Click the wheel and it's an flywheel. Thus making you lose middlemouse. However you can turn off the flywheel and just have normal wheel. (Or the other way around). Well it's just got too many features I wouldn't use like the side scroll wheel and fly wheel thing. Plus the price... I picked up my MX1000 for ?30 which I thought was expensive, but worth it. The Revolution is ?50. I just can't justify spending 50 squids on a mouse.

Minifig Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 A bit more tinkering, and I got my 360 to work at upto 1920 x 1080 resolution on my PC monitor, and I now have sound. I know it's a wirey mess, but hey.. IT WORKS, and that's what's important. As far as what it looks like?

I got mine for 50E.. not too shabby but indeed a steep price for a mouse. Worth it tough ^^ I use the sidewheel for media control and the search button thingy under the scrollbutton as a keyboard bind Control W (close tab/active window) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/629052-show-us-your-workstations/page/12/#findComment-589402839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFindley Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Pictures of my home office / bedroom / home cinema setup. I've recently finished a massive redecoration project for the room, so pretty much all of the setup is new. Hardware details are listed below the pictures (click on pictures to enlarge) To pre-empt the various questions I sometimes get asked about the following: The desk and desk draws was supplied by a company called Solent Office (a UK office supplier that is based in the South) The AV Cabinet, TV Cabinet, and bedside draws were supplied by a company called Tiverly (sp?). The AV Cabinet and TV Cabinet were custom made for the room. The daishō (set of swords) on the desk; are of full-tang folded steel construction, made by Henwai (Paul Chen). The other stand of swords (only partially pictured) consist of; two bokken, and a Henwai iaitō blade. Desk overview - iMac, PC, MacBook Pro, Equipment closeups - My gaming PC, and my AV rack Front of room, showing the front sound channels, TV etc, and DVD / book shelf Back of room, showing the rear sound channels, and with the 'movie lighting' on instead of the main lights.

TFindley Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 @blackbeard- what cage is that in your last picture? Its a Assynia ALL ROUND ACCESS (ARA) Wall Box, 9U high. They're available from Cable Management Supplies, (http://www.cableman.co.uk) Unfortunately I can't direct-link to the product, but they're under the 'Assynia Wall Boxes' category on the right hand side (under Top Sellers). They're about ?130.90 + VAT. I don't pay shipping as one of their warehouses is about a 5minute drive from where I live. CMS are a pretty good company. We use them at work, and I've used them for all my network cabling and network kit housing. Hope that helps! :DD Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/629052-show-us-your-workstations/page/12/#findComment-589404826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
