Freezer7Pro: I don't come here a lot anymore.; +1,447|6203|Winland

Hello. Show the world how worn-out your keyboard/mouse has became after all those hours of gaming (Pictures, please)

I'll start off by showing off my year-old MX518... It has helped me through 700 of my BF2 hours, and the Half-Life series about 7 times (I'm a HUGE Half-Life fan, and I'm serious with the 7 times)

The Logitech logo and text were black when I bought it... I love this mouse!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Prove it! I think it's impossible!

my generic wireless Logitech mouse's logo is almost completely gone, but my G15 Keyboard is running strong

Although, it's kinda dusty and has shit in it. Blech.

I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer that is like over 5-6years old - compared to your logitech it looks brand-new.

Microsoft build quality FTW!

My MX518 is starting to look like yours Freezer.

My MX510 is pretty worn out, the bottom is pretty fuzzy and scratched in some places.

My G5 is almost a year old and the only thing that is worn is the braided nylon sleeve around the cord is frayed from rubbing on my keyboard tray, and the sliders on the bottom are starting to wear out.

My Saitek Eclipse still looks new (got it on Christmas).

Nothing on my rig is worn out, I've had my mouse for almost a year and a half..

I did fuck up my old joystick pretty bad though, and a old headset.

My keyboard also looks brand new (I have a G15)

I've since got a new joystick and really haven't flown jets at all.

Twist: Too old to be doing this sh*t; +103|6529|Little blue planet, milky way

Oh whiners.. your mice are at least still black in general color. I have a few that are turning... well... Brownish would be describe it I suppose. One of my MX518's turned halfway to goo before I replaced it.

But the real kicker is my 1984 IBM AT PS/2 keyboard.... It's a live and kicking after 23 years of service, but they keys have taken a beating by now, thank god I have spares of this clicky.
