I remember having a basic wireless keyboard about 5 some years ago and thought it was sweet, until I started playing FPS games with it. The lag was noticeable and just pissed me off. It's scarred me for life on wireless keyboards.

Always been 2snob2wireless. Input devices and networking on my main rig.

Dual boots have always worked well for me but I know exactly what you mean. Windows just doesn't give a flying fart about anything except Windows, so when you install Linux first and then Windows, it will delete GRUB (the bootloader Linux uses). The other way around works just fine. A good VM solution can also help with cutting down on reboot times.

Also threw out my mouse pad. WTF it's 2015?!

A drive caddy might make your multi o/s drive switching experience easier...

I agree, dual booting sucks. Except my solution was to just abandon the o/s I preferred less. Not that you really have the luxury of even considering that choice.

I also considered a hardware switch that would toggle power for each drive, but decided against it because I was afraid of electrical shorts or whatever. I've done it so many times in BIOS that I just slam out the key combination now to switch boot drives.

I have the same minimalistic microsoft keyboard. it is a really good one.

I use a laptop and a wired mouse with a mousepad since a digital mouse doesn't work right on glass. and I don't like most wireless stuff except my headphones there great I only have to recharge it every once a while and most of the time I only recharge it while I am sleeping over night.

 

I have a turtlebeach Earforce PX3, it is usable on PC/MacOS, ps3, xbox 360, ps4, and xbox 1, plus has different settings you can choose while playing a game, to hear like footstep's better , or turn turn down explosion's, or hear other people better. etc. you can make your own preset's and download custom one's too.

i use the ms ergo keyboard with the ms mouse. i use it a couple of hours per day and have to change batteries once per year.

Next i have a usb extension from the computer to the receiver for the keyboard an mouse so that they are dircetly glued under the bottomside of the desktop roughly 5 cm away from the keyboard and mouse. Always connected with no lag and problems with cellphones nearby.

And i am a regularly gamer too

Ms ergonomic keyboard (4000/something or other) + razor something with way to many buttons.. But I got tired or replacing the Logitech MX ever 3 months.

 

I just cannot use a n ergonomic/ split keyboard any more - hell I usually bring my own keyboard when doing consulting work
