Hackjob

This one was a very long time coming. A mouse that I've wanted to try since I was a kid, and now I've finally got my hands on one. This is the Razer Boomslang 2007 - a collector focused revival of what is widely regarded as the first purpose-built gaming mouse. Does it live up to the legacy?

Attempting to win the console war by building a better machine than either Sony or Microsoft.

It's been a hell of a past month and things have finally settled down enough with the move for me to catch up on the sizable backlog of posts I've accumulated. So here's one of them. I mentioned in my last post about the 6,1 Mac Pro that I was going to be travelling with it - and I did. I spent two months with the machine trying to get it to do things it was never meant for. It went about as well as you'd expect.

It's been a good seven years since I last upgraded my mouse and I finally decided it was time to try something a bit different. Enter the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, Razer's most feature packed - and unintentionally productivity geared mouse to date. Is it worth the staggeringly high premium? Let's find out.

Once again, I'm tearing into my old Area 51 R2 to perform yet another round of completely impractical upgrades. This time, it's cramming arguably one of the most insane GPUs to ever grace the market into a tower that now has absolutely zero space for it... at least on the inside. Armed with my 3D printer, my rotary tool, and optimism about as questionable as this entire project, I set off to work.

  Transparent electronics seem to be all the rage again and having lived through the twilight years of things like candy colored transparent Game Boys and PlayStation 2s, I'm welcoming this revival with open arms. What better way to hop back onto the bandwagon by giving my handheld gaming weapon of choice; the Steam Deck a 90s and early-2000s inspired makeover?
