I can't wait to bind my mumble and my in game talk to the side buttons. (Currently I have only 1 side button).

A really good list Jero, I just wish there was one for Power Supplies and Video Cards. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I should make that list now that I think about it. :ugeek:

Is the Logitech G502 overkill because it's more expensive than other similar performing products? Just wanted to clarify, since I was planning on getting it for Christmas.

Power supplies are difficult because there is no clear cut choice for X hardware. There are hundreds of models that are decent. Brand names don't mean anything because most famous brands (Corsiar, Antec, etc) get them made by multiple OEMs, some way better than others. Even among the same product line.

For Video cards, there is no way I could do better than Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gam ... ,3107.html

Karma, the G502 is overkill because while it's performance is on par with the Rival/Deathadder, it has way more customizability. Stuff I personally would consider unnecessary. It justifies it's price well enough, plus you get Logitech support and warranty. It has gone on sale for $54.99 and $59.99 regularly so I would at least wait for a similar sale.

If anyone is looking for a new mouse I highly recommend the Zowie FK1. I've had it for about 2 weeks and it is the best mouse I've ever owned. I previously had a Razer Deathadder 2013, which was also a good mouse, but I definitely prefer the Zowie.

I have the Zowie EC1 eVo which is identical in shape to the death adder. I loveeee this mouse. I thought the glossy texture would be bad since I get sweaty in the summer but it hasn't been an issue at all!

Just saw this. Buy the mouse for $79.99, get a $50 steam card free.

Shout out to Jero for recommending me the Signstek Thick XL mousepad. I like it even more than the Steelseries QcK+ I originally wanted (and it was cheaper!).

Jero, you should create your own /r/ called, "TheMouseMan". Or a YouTube series. You're amazing at recommendations.
