Good idea. Just have to find the right size. I think the one I have is too big for a soup can. I got the large one for wet felting.

Weird. I did more than one space and got one space.

Two words.

edit - LOL. I typed that with a big space in the middle so it was "two words". ECF smoooshed it together, but now I like my post more.

Oz, I really like that single top right holder :thumbs: What wood is that? Did you turn those?

The darker one?

That's black bocote.

That was my theory too, for a minute, until I looked at them side-by-side again. Even turned off the digits are larger. I think magnification would kick in when it was lit. And, at least on mine, the screen is a tiny bit bigger.

If it's flat on the back of the screen it's just a simple magnifying glass. Won't matter if the LED's are on or not.

PS... I haz mouse.

My old Razer Naga Molten finally succumbed to the dreaded double & triple clicking... it's been driving me nuts for the past few weeks. I don't like the new Naga's & the Molten has been officially out of production for a couple years now. There have been a few up on Amazon, but they were asking ridiculous prices for them. I finally caught one at a (somewhat) reasonable price. It wasn't supposed to get here until Thursday via FedEx, but it mysteriously showed up at the PO this morning. Oh well, it works & it appears to be new, not refurbished. If I can get 4 years out of it I'll be happy.

I just wish they'd make them a little more solid. I'd gladly take a few ounces of weight & pay considerably more for one if it just replaced some critical plastic parts with metal. It's already my favorite mouse, that would just make it my absolutely perfect mouse.

Negative.
If the lens does have a magnifying effect, it wouldn't be limited to when the LEDs are on...think about it like a thick set of eyeglasses...they don't have LEDs behind them, but people's eyes look different behind them...

i saided "i think' cuz i wasn't sure. now i haz no better. :)

I'm glad you explained. You said something about a Naga before and I had no idea what you were referring too: A phone? A tablet? I can't keep up with tech products. The only Naga I was familiar with is a snake and that didn't fit in the context of what you said.

I haz a torn...I got to check out both the P3 and a ZNA 30 side by each today. Shinyitis is a BAAAAD thing :facepalm:
Lucky for me, neither was for sale :)

Why, oh why can't we all get obsessed with collecting things that are less expensive?

Razer makes gaming peripherals. Their mice are named after snakes, the Naga, Ouroboros, Mamba, Taipan, DeathAdder, Orochi, etc. The Naga is one of the most popular ones. 17 buttons, 8200 dpi laser, hair-trigger response times... it's a pretty awesome mouse. I don't even game on that level anymore, but I got so used to it & it fits my hand so perfectly, I just can't be without one anymore. You can set the 12-button grid to the number row, the number keypad, or macro it out to do anything you want. I use it in financial software & spreadsheets all the time.

My only complaint is that it needs more metal inside of it - more durable & a little extra weight wouldn't hurt it at all. Hardcore gamers can smoke one in a year. I was just always more gentle with my mouse, I guess. With the hair-trigger response, you don't need to slam it around or anything. The index sensor switch in mine finally went out, so it was double-clicking & triple clicking on it's own. I couldn't drag/drop anymore with it. I got 4 years out of it with more gaming hours than I'll ever admit to.

I've never tried any of their other stuff. They've made gaming keyboards for a while & I know they've branched out into more stuff, but I don't really keep track of it anymore. I just can't find a better mouse that has the shape, feel & features of the Naga.

One of the two my husband left in a taxi earlier this year was a standard red. He's very sad about it. I'm tasked with securing him another. It's not gonna be easy!! :rolleyes:

Lizzie...there is a B&M in Colorado that has a Red Standard w/ Red led. I had been wanting a Red/Red Mini and contacted them many moons ago, but they said they could only sell in store...however last month I got an email from them and they contacted ProVape and they can sell via phone order. I got my Red Mini from them, they do charge $5.00 more than ProVape and also charge shipping. They even have Purple and Pink ones still. The name of the company is VaporLeaf.

I have an obsessive collection of pictures I've taken of weird license plates!

I don't know if you can read these very well: Cosmic - Surreal. Surreal is mine. I don't know if Cosmic parked next to me on purpose, but I came outside and there it was. This picture makes me sad. It was only a couple of days later that I totaled my beloved truck. :(

I can't image where 17 buttons would go. :blink: Do you use your feet too?

The guy told me it is a "battery hog", what made you hate it?

1) it is SUPER SUPER heavy
2) the battery voltage sag in the zna is ridiculous. On a fresh 30a battery firing a 0.8 ohm load at 23 watts, the battery meter drops to half. Shudder. That contributes to the battery hog part, because if it sags too much, it just resets itself and it's super annoying
3) overall longevity: once your warranty is up, you can send your provari for repairs and stuff for a ridiculously reasonable price. For HoH, sending in for them to just take a look is 60 bucks. Screw that.
4) you need to spend another 60 bucks to run the 18650 battery.

ETA: point 3 is so understated. Being able to repair a provari at a super good price is invaluable.
