I have received my Triton 0.3 ohm SS coil heads, looks like I should have bought the 0.4 ohm ones instead as it appears that these have been made with 22 gauge wire. I'm going to try one as soon as I get a bit more coffee down.

Forgot how much I love these stubbed mizers, removing that built in chimney makes just the right difference.

The Aspire .3 ohm coils work pretty good but really need more power than a DNA60 has to offer. They will work well in the sub tank that I have coming.
Edit: just for the record I like the Aspire .3's a bit better than the EC-S ones. (more sizzle)
I'm normally doing 45 watts preheat for 1 second then 35 watts, with the Aspire .3's 60 watts preheat for .7 seconds then 50 watts seem to do the trick but I really didn't want to increase my wattage.

Logitech?
It's an old Steelseries Sensei Raw, one of those mice with the screen in the bottom and switchable custom profiles.

The wife said just get a new mouse, I pondered it for a moment but a $4 switch would fix a perfectly good working mouse as opposed to $100+ on a new Rival 650 Wireless...

I already have their wireless headset, great sound and the best microphone in the industry, so I probably should have grabbed the wireless mouse too.

This was the headset I wanted originally, but all the features are not functional on the PS4 where I do most of my gaming. The planar magnetic drivers would have been excellent as I do love planar headphones.

Gees, you guys are putting me to shame with my basic eight year old wireless MS keyboard mouse combo I got on sale for around $50 - 60 or so... Surprisingly they both still work well, I do have to take the mouse apart from time to time and clean out the scroll wheel, the keyboard I take out to the shop and use the compressor to blow the dust bunnies out of it. Oh yeah, I did have to JB Weld the flimsy tip up tabs on the back but function wise they still are both going strong.

You and me both. Although the expensive keyboards and mice don't like me very much. Like I purchased a Logitech G903 which requires Logitech Gaming driver, but the software won't detect the mouse. And that was on a brand new Legend computer. Tried again on a brand new HP computer and the same thing. It's completely useless. :(

Sitting down, facing forward.
I've become addicted to trackball mice. I've worn out two of them, so far, and they do require regular cleaning of the ball/sensor area but they are so hand and don't need a lot of free space to use them.

A full click keyboard is still my favorite. I have an old IBM that's still working fine. Occasional cleanout with compressed air is all it takes. I never did get that "split" that Microsoft or Logitech brought out, but then I hunt and peck.

I thought that was a neat idea. A charge cable that you can easily connect and disconnect magnetically. And I was trying to talk myself out of getting one. But just yesterday I found that I had connected and disconnected my cell phone four times in one hour. Then I thought, I really should get one. So I ordered 2

FYI, or ... 3 cables, 3 adapters for $15 and next day delivery for Prime members

Been using those magnetic USB cables and I just love them. But don't order from TMart if you may want to cancel your order. I canceled right away thanks to MikeE3. And 12 days after my cancellation request, they said too late, they already shipped it. :-x

I have an old Corsair mechanical (Cherry MX Red switches) which works like a charm, one day I'll upgrade to a nice RGB and control the whole thing from the Steelseries Engine. Ya gotta have matchy, matchy on the swirly lights across the keyboard, mouse, mouse pad and headphones. :D

Those are hard to find today. The best one I ever used was by a third party made for an Atari 2600 (works on Commodore 8-bit computers too [and Apple II I believe]). And it used a real cue ball. I still have it too. Yes, just like those arcade machines. Give it a quick spin and it keeps going and going. ;)
