Default Hahahaha!

Just having a little debate with a friend of mine that works at MS. These guys can't fathom the idea that I still use a 13 year old Liteon model SK-6000 keyboard and my favorite mouse is a 13 year old Microsoft Intellimouse! The best damn mouse ever made in my opinion, and probably one of the best damn keyboards ever made!!! I paid a ton of cash for this stuff back then - The mouse comes in at $89 + tax of course, and the keyboard about $100! I'd even go as far to say that this mouse is weighted almost perfectly! It is heavy and smooth at the same time!

For my gaming, I have always kept a second gaming mouse hooked up to my system, with my current version being a highly modified (voided my warranty, but its worth it for gaming accuracy) Razer Copperhead plugging away at a massive 1000 Hz polling rate and 2000 DPI. A normal mouse runs at 125 Hz polling rate and 400 DPI in case you don't know. But still, for surfing and general mousing, this older MS mouse cannot be beat, bar none!

There is even more to this story in that Microsoft called me in for some work, and this question came up too! What exactly is wrong with keeping good equipment from the past exactly? They don't make things like this today. How many of you own a keyboard and mouse built so solid, that they will last 13 years and longer? The answer is, they don't and you don't have one!

Case closed.

Did i mention even the keys are weighted properly on this keyboard?
