I played on and old old old ass laptop that i had to prop above a fan with tissue boxes to it would't overheat. I didn't have enough desk space for a mouse, so I had to use a track pad, which trust me is worse than the worse mouse imaginable. I know that because soon after I moved up to using a mouse that had fallen on a heater and was all warped from the heat. I also have internet that just decided to cut out and go up and extra 200 ping occasionally, although most of the time it is decent.
Now I have a high-end gaming PC that I built, and a 144hz monitor and on my nice new desk a 17x13 mouse pad on which I use my new Zowie mouse, and by god if it isn't the nicest thing I have ever experienced. Definitely worth the money after that hell of being a teenager without a job. I still have to deal with the internet though. :c
