  What’s a purchase that’s not fun, not flashy but now you swear by it?

  Super useful for stubborn packages where my regular pocketknife can't get into. My Corsair keyboard was taped so tight i couldn't slide it between the cardboard! Also anything crafty of course. Just a little thin super sharp knife that gets little things done

  Recommendations for Over-Ear headphones with microphone that would last?

  Who let you buy Blackshark?? They’re known to be terrible lol. I’ve got a bunch of reccs based on what you want: – Jlab wireless – budget-friendly, solid mic built-in and battery life, soundstage isn’t super wide tho – Corsair wireless – great mic, comfy headband, and has that mic mute flip-up feature you’re after, little pricey tho – Epos hybrid – decent sound, removable mic, works wired or wireless, kinda mid-priced but reliable. – Astro (Gen 2) – simple and sturdy, no replaceable mic tho

  Recommendation for Gaming Headphones?

  # 1. SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 (or 7X / 7P) * price: often around $140–$150 on sale * pros: excellent soundstage for positional awareness, comfortable ski-band design, multi-platform (pc, ps, xbox depending on model), dual wireless + bluetooth. * cons: battery life is good but not best-in-class (\~38 hours). # 2. hyperx cloud alpha wireless * price: \~$130 * pros: outstanding battery life (up to 300 hours), clear directional audio, strong build, comfortable memory foam padding. * cons: no bluetooth, mostly pc/ps compatible. # 3. logitech g pro x 2 lightspeed (if you found on sale) * price: normally $250, but sales can drop it to $150 \~$170. * pros: fantastic positional sound with dts headphone:x, swappable earpads, low-latency lightspeed dongle. * cons: might stretch your budget unless discounted. # 4. corsair hs80 rgb wireless * price: \~$120 * pros: dolby atmos support, very good mic quality, comfortable floating headband, works on pc and ps5. * cons: battery life is shorter (\~20 hours). # 5. razer blackshark v2 pro (2023 ed) * price: \~$150 * pros: clear positional audio, lightweight, improved mic quality, 70-hour battery life. * cons: sound signature leans toward bass heavy if unadjusted. requirements: * under $150 * wireless/ a dongle not a headphone jack * good positional sounds * noise cancellation (not a MUST) let me break down your requirements real quick wireless will always have some latency even with low latency dongles so if you are aiming for competitive gaming you are already putting yourself at a disadvantage good positional sound usually comes from open back headphones but those do not block outside noise if by noise cancellation you mean active noise cancellation (ANC) it actually hurts positional accuracy because it alters the sound cues and is more useful for airplanes or travel closed back headphones already block some outside noise but not in a way that ruins positional sound for casual gaming you can spend less and still get solid wireless options for competitive gaming wired open back headphones are still the best since they give you a wider soundstage and make it feel like you have wall hacks.

  Recommendation for Gaming Headphones?

  Check out the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless. i think its under $100, solid positional audio, and comes with a USB-C dongle. Super comfy too. If you can stretch a bit, the Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is great for around $130 with better soundstage and mic quality

  Best no lag wireless mouse/keyboard

  No-lag wireless gaming keyboard and mouse combos do exist, and they’ve improved significantly in recent years. Look for models with 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and low latency response times, specifically designed for gaming. Brands like Logitech (Lightspeed series), Razer, and Corsair offer reliable options that perform on par with wired setups. If you're still unsure, a high-quality wired gaming keyboard and mouse is always a solid alternative for zero input delay.

  BIFL - a mouse! What's a high quality mouse I can buy?

  Corsair gaming mouse - whichever model has the fewest buttons and fewest gimmicky gamer features - then attach aftermarket teflon mouse feet to it and use on a good cloth mousepad. That’s good mousin’
