Not doing any of that. It just seems to be how I have Firefox set up. So I'll just use Edge and enjoy this site. Thank to everyone for the ideas.

THAT Listen @m76, anyone who has told or in some way tried to convince you of that is either racist, not very smart or most likely both. It's just an excuse to sweep this problem, and it is a legitimate international problem, under the rug and go back to a state of blissfull ignorance. Now like @Shagger pointed out, a small number of people are using the protests as a window to break the law and spread anarchy but that is NOT what BLM is about. Now I'm not racist in any way but I do admit like so many until recently I let myself be blinded to these issues without even realising I was doing it. But I see it now and we ALL need to wake up.

Well, with that more or less resolved and @THawkhappy enough with the situation, I don't think we need this topic open any more. Be sure to let us know if there are any further troubles. Locking thread.

BLM is about equality, not criminal violence.

That's people hiding behind a noble cause to excuse that behaviour. Happens every time anyone protests anything. BLM is not about that and the movement certainly doesn't endorse it.

Playing with my new gaming desktop. HOLY SHIT!!!!

One problem that we all face at a forum, is that we're reading text, and can't hear the tone of voice when a person says something. It may look like an attack when they're making a sarcastic joke. @Crazycrab and @Shagger are brothers. Say one of them called the other an asshole for liking >insert game title< in a joking manner. Or just said only assholes liked that game as a poke at his brother. Now say you are a huge fan of the game. You wouldn't be able to tell if he was saying the only ones in the world who like the game are assholes, or if it was a joke between brothers. Is he just calling his brother an asshole as a joke? Is he saying all fans of said game are assholes? Without hearing a tone of voice, all we have to go on is emotionless text. It's a part of the reason I skip some of the topics on this forum. But this topic is meant to be fairly abrasive. Now I'm not a mod, and I'm not trying to do a job that isn't mine, but I would like to suggest that people check their sensitivities at the door when clicking on this thread. But that's just my opinion, which may be an unpopular one.

Whilst I wouldn't agree with @Crazycrab's brazen way if expressing them, I do actually agree with with his points. I almost never use M/K for game control on PC, with the exception of strategy games, some MMO's and some top-down RPG's. I don't even like using M/K for shooters despite the higher accuracy potential, it just doesn't feel as fun to play for me. I just feel more of a connection to a game holding a controller in my hand. Yes, I'm not as competitive that way, but I get round that problem buy not playing competitive FPS games on PC, only on console where I know it's a level playing field. Simple. The fundamental difference between a game controller the M/K concept is that one was created specifically to control a video game, the other one wasn't. M/K has come a long way, but hasn't fundementally changed. That is why M/K douse base problems with certain games and gameplay mechanics, like stealth a @Crazycrabsaid. It's that way because it still has to serve its original intended purpose. As for game controller ms? They have evolved a lot. We aren't playing with Atari Joysticks anymore, that's for sure. Controllers have become almost unrecognisable from what they used to be and are far more sophisticated and advanced, and have gone though this evolution at each step to improve one's connection to the game. That's just my own little theory as why I personally just enjoy a a controller alot more that a M/K. Not that M/K doesn't have its advantages as well. It's precise and offers you're hands and arms more rest as you play. As I said, the it's best way to play games where you manage as opposed to taking direct control, like RTS. It's also great for MOBA's and certain MMO's that uses a large array of control options. For any game that requires any even a remotely substantial amount of typing, a controller is a pain the ass, so there's that to. However, in the end, it's not about one being better than the other, it's about how each individual feels is better for themselves to control and connect to the game. Now @m76, I'm gonna be honest with, you I do believe you look down on people for using a controller on PC, and that's not fair. It doesn't affect you how another person plays Skyrim or whatever is on PC. You prefer M/K, not a problem, and this evening I'll probably be playing my modded version if Fallout 4 with a controller and I'm sure we'll both sleep just fine. One last thing to all of you, keep it civil. That is all.

That's becuase Razor heavilly sponsor streamers and ESports teams. Don't get wrong their products are good but it's like buying an Aston Martin when a there is a Jaguar has exactly the same performance for half the price. The only reason they charge more is because they can.
