Wrist rests for keyboard and mouse. I like my Glorious Gaming brand ones

Man I know this isn't your question but I can't remember the last time I used a wrist band, hell, I don't think I've seen a professional use a wristband in the past 10 years.
Personally, with components being more much resistant to static discharge, I don't think it's necessary, I handle bare components all the time and have never had an issue.
but if you're intent on being extra careful, or you're working with sensitive components you can clip it to your case, the hard drive rack, the metal frame, just about anywhere that's metal, it needn't be bare metal either, the painted metal will do just fine, all the electricity is looking for is a place to run to, and trust me, the painted metal in your case is plenty conductive enough for that.
Some people will buy anti-static mats that have a little metal clip for your wristband, like this:
http://smile.amazon.com/StarTech-com-24x27-5-Inch-Desktop-Anti-Static-M3013/dp/B00009XT3H?sa-no-redirect=1
If you want to be extra-paranoid-super-careful, I'd do that.
Cool, but I am cringing at that monitor sitting on the console... I use THIS for a touch screen I have, and highly recommend it.
A quick search shows me they had a deadpool boobie mouse pad. I almost want to buy it.

Looks like a cable that goes on an anti static mat to ground yourself. So you don’t shock an electrical component like a circuit board on a computer.

I use a two wallet system.
There just isn't(or haven't found) a wallet that will hold all 13 of my active cards without being bulky.
So I have this for mass storage, 19 cards, two pockets for cash/MO.

For Arkham, we use these. I'm not sure if we could even properly play the bloody game without them, short of putting cards on the floor.
That would be the razer Vespula. Spendy but I really like it a lot. It's got a two layer system with a rubberized mat underneath, and the mouse surface sits on top, so it doesn't move around at all, and provides a really nice anchor point for your wrist (the wrist rest is attached to the rubberized layer).

For those looking to organize their sock drawers a bit better, I've been very happy with this holder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UBNWLB2
The only downside is that it doesn't have any tabs or anything for quickly turning to a particular "group" of cards, so I just used some sticky notes. It has a great feel to it after it's loaded up and I'll probably need a second one real soon now.
I like this 90 card holder - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UBNWLB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Edit: As others have pointed out, this one is quite large when filled with cards - definitely storage sized, not pocket sized. :)
Explain this then.
You need one of these
That table looks fantastic (bonus points for the cute kitten)!
Did you just have the wood laying around/in your yard, or did you buy something for the project?
As a few others have alluded to (some less helpful than others), it's generally not the best idea to have your speakers on the same surface as the turntable unless you have some sort of isolation pads. It can cause unwanted resonance and distortion. Especially because the LP60 is already not the best tracking table out there, it may be something you want to consider when you have the time/funds. I like these for isolation if you're keen to keep the speakers on the table.
But seriously, great work on that woodwork!
I bought [this](
http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Professional-Gaming-Mouse-Black/dp/B002J9G5AE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1462754754&sr=1-1&keywords=steel+series+4hd) mouse pad two and a half years ago and have had zero problems with it. It's even had water on it twice (cats) and it held it's shape and didn't warp in any way.
Thanks! Another user on a different thread pointed out that they sell the vertical organizer separately for use in other bags or backpacks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00479FQCM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.zUSzb470DXNY
So I have always taken great pride in not letting churning impact what I buy, but unfortunately yesterday I broke my rule and let the hobby directly impact a purchase. With 40 new credit and debit cards in the ~6 months since I have started, and 3 more in the mail and on their way to me, it has become a bit unruly to just toss them in a drawer. What time and day does churners anonymous meet again? I think I am ready to admit I have a problem...
Thanks. Good quality for price, I just wanted something larger in size.

We bought a couple of those business card holders that have tiered multiple slots for cards for use in saving table space with games that have lots of decks, like Arkham Horror and Firefly.

Get some isolation pads, that’ll tighten up the bass. Also, unless you are using the desk while listening, move the speakers closer to the front.
I ended up with 24 AU cards from the amex AU bonuses. figured enough was enough and bought two of these, one for credits/AU cards and the other for debits/serve/BB cards

I just searched for mousepads on Amazon and the first one with boobs they suggested was this one with Deadpool's "breasts" on the third page. Then the first real anime tit-pad was this one on the fourth page.
I don't ever watch anime or anything like that so maybe that has something to do with it

CRPG will help with timing and tactics, although the speed of combat may be different than in NW. It uses your browser to keep track of your stats and items... at least it did back when I played.
Honestly, the best upgrade for me was buying a mouse surface. I had a crappy old mousepad and my mouse couldn't move that quickly on it, and now I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/3M-Precise-Optical-Mousing-MP200PS/dp/B0017D5Z40/

Cocoon Grid-It organizer. It's rather cheap and especially useful if you use different bags like a messenger bag for school and a backpack for a bit longer travels. You can easily attach stuff you need once in a while to the grid and just throw it to another bag.
Currently my grid-it contains a USB-stick, couple cables, one of those Victorinox card multitools, a powerbank and a pen. When I'm traveling overnight I add a toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste. 5/5 would buy again.
Edit: Pilot G-2 pen and Opinel No 08 knife are another fantastic pieces of equipment I carry everyday
We tend to use an Ergotron mount with a notebook tray. Sometimes there have been issues with getting a binder to stay on the stand, in which case a sheet of luan is added to give further support. The Ergotron should come with mounts that can either be screwed into a desk or a clamp that can be attached to something.
This is a solution that can be made to work with a variety of consoles. In the photos linked below (featuring a very handsome former intern and current redditor) you will see the stand used with a Studer Vista console. The other monitor on that mount is the console overview screen.
Some of the rental shops have also custom fabricated script trays for consoles that have slightly more space on their surface, but I don't think that there's a practical use on a Vi series.
One last thing... light. At times we have attached a LittleLite (the older model, where the light was removable from the round base) to the script tray. We'd then cable tie the power to the arm so that it didn't dangle or get caught as the script was moved. You can kind of make out the light in the pictures, but it's a little hard to see.

I've never used a hard mouse pad so these are just my findings:
The 9HD is 12.6" x 10.6" x 0.08"
Razer Destructror 2 13.98" x 10.04" x 0.09"
Logitech G440 13.39" x 11.02" x 0.12"
CORSAIR MM400 13.9" x 10.9" x 0.1"
GP3 HEATON 16.54 x 13.78 x 0.08 in But its ~88$
Fnatic Gear Boost Control Pro 15.75" x 12.01" x 0.07"
Theres also Aluminum mouse pads if you're into that
example: RAZER Manticor Aluminum 13.98" x 10.04" x 0.09"
For comparison one of the most used soft pads, BenQ ZOWIE G-SR Large, is 18.9" x 15.7" x 0.14"
It seems like they stopped making a lot of the actually large hard pads since most people use soft.
I carry a Radix One Slim. I currently carry 4 cards, an ID, and a little bit of cash. cheap, small, but pulling cards out gracefully takes a little getting used to. the other downside is that you need to fold your cash, but the R1 Slim is freaking small. been carrying this for a little over 6 months and I love it.
I can't remember if I bought it from Amazon or directly from their website.

I use this for long-term storage and it gets linked in this sub as a storage "binder" kind of often.

I've been struggling with this, too, and have bought every recommended item on this sub so far over the past year. This one is the best for storage, though you will need a second one quicker than some of the others.
Yo, you should get this mouse pad instead.
It's awesome and you'll have a lot more room! :D

Yes there are some that are monitor specific or universal ones that are pretty much just a giant clamp that will hold your monitor from the top and bottom bezel.
I believe this would fit but I am not 100% sure.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DAYR3ZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_w0sWAb1QWY7MC
I bought an adapter on Amazon. It was ~$30. It works pretty well. There's a bit of wobble if I bang the desk, but I'm not worried about it falling out. I don't trust it enough to put the monitor in portrait mode though.
Edit: the Amazon description doesn't list this monitor, but the vendor's website lists the D2717H/X for this mount.
I bought this one. I'm very pleased with it.

Get gas powered arms, make sure your monitors have vesa mounts on back and check weight requirements. I have 2x 32” and one 43” monitors and use 3 separate arms. This would work well for you at a good price:

Amazon consider it cost-inhibitive to offer for sale on its own, apparently.
You could try searching again for the same item sold by an individual seller and not directly from Amazon itself, or find a similar item that isn't offered as an add-on.
Edit: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/ol/B0017D5Z40/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=new I did it for you.
I'm a big fan of using card stands/holders for tableaus so that they can be passed around easily rather than everyone having to stand up and hover over them.
Alternatively business card racks are super handy for that type of thing as well.
Also, +1 for silicone cupcake liners being awesome.
Aaaaaand added to my shopping list. Thanks!!
EDIT: Amazon link to stand
A couple of these really help with the cards. However, they are a pain in the neck to store.
Network Engineer with a few random hands-on requirements here and there, mostly rack related and/or mounting a random piece of equipment... I personally just use this; got it on sale for less than half that price on Black Friday, so it was a steal. That said, it definitely suits my tool carrying needs; then I have this in my backpack for network and other random peripherals for my Mac.

I’ve been using the [Boshiho Leather Credit Card Holder] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UBNWLB2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PpozCbHFEWBNQ) for over 2 years and only a couple slots have torn.

Got the Dell SE2717HR for 120 to use as a second monitor and have a VESA adapter coming in that added 30 more bucks. Tempted to return both and get this. Thoughts? I read reviews that the VESA adapter isn't the sturdiest thing ever and that the screw sticking out the back makes the monitor lean forward. A cheap 4k as a second monitor sounds really enticing.
I am not sure when the attitude to anti-static precautions shifted; I don't use straps any more, but I do use mats that are clipped onto the device etc. I am not sure if you would even feel it if you produced a static discharge large enough to impact your work? (I honestly don't know) I guess it is not a big deal if a phone board or a MB is unknowingly sacrificed, but it would suck if someone was working on hard to replace board (old manufacturing controllers etc).
​
I really like your setup, and I didn't even know those blue mats existed!
Anti Static Matt
If you really like that pad, you could "resurface" it with a 3M Precise Optical Mousing surface. They're really thin and they have an adhesive backing (not permanent adhesive; it may or may not stick well to a fabric surface. It sticks great to wood and glass for me, though). So you could just stick it on and trim it to fit the shape of your favored pad. Best of both worlds?
Something I've learned after playing this for two years:
Good luck out there.
Amazon shows that as a cloth mousepad? I was looking for a hard (plastic or metal like) pad. Never found a wide one.

Get This to Organize stuff in your bag
Thanks for the Contest.
Did 5 weeks last year with the Farpoint 40 because I was looking to avoid all issues with my luggage.
Carry right on flights, wear it around for hours if needed, climbing stone steps without dragging traditional luggage, keep my hands free, etc.
Worked perfect if you're going for minimal packing and maximum activity potential.
As far as what to pack, I kept my electronics/cables/GoPro set-up organized with a GridIt, and otherwise just packed like 6-7 underwear, 6-7 socks, 4-5 shirts, 1 nice shirt, 1 sweater (for Switzerland), jeans, and shorts. Easy.
Also brought a daypack. Tiny backpack to keep water, sunscreen, etc. in for hikes and longer days out.
Have you seen a Grid It Organizer ?
I have the exact same CaseLogic bag, but I only carried it for about 6 months. It was super awkward, and if you forget to do up the little Velcro zipper stop tags, the whole front of the bag can come open and dump your stuff all over. I had a rolling bag for a bit, but it annoyed me, since I travel a lot of non-paved or cobblestone places, and I felt like it was bouncing things around.
My hubs finally convinced me to invest a little (less than $100 on sale) in an Epiphanie bag, which doesn't look like a camera bag at all, gets no second glances when I travel, and works as a functional carrying piece when I don't have my cameras. That, in conjunction with one of these, has done a lot to focus my gear list and travel style.
To note, I've been trying to streamline the amount of stuff I carry when I travel, and only bust out the big cargo stuff when I do stationary shoots. I find that carrying a bunch of stuff distracts from my enjoyment, as I spend more time worrying about the right equipment than just simply framing and shooting. It helps that some of the best shots I have are on my phone, from when I didn't have my gear at all. :)
I'm curious also, he says "Triple Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arms"
I think he means 3x Ergotron Lx Desk Mount Arms. 134$ each!
http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/351/language/en-US/Default.aspx
http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Desk-Mount-Tall-45-295-026/dp/B00689HXI4/
I think what you want is an Ergotron LX Mount but they're pretty pricey. HOWEVER, there are unbranded ones (branded by HP, but totally 100% ergotron) for almost half the price here. I have 3 of them and they support my giant Crossover 27Q. I can go from portrait to landscape just by grabbing the monitor and spinning it. I highly recommend them.
You also may want to check out some of the Monoprice offerings here for even less money. I had the dual one for around 60$, but it only moved side to side- not up and down.
i went with 2 of these guys http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_25?
with the 2 separate tall poles i can stack my monitors on top of each other if needed and in general have a lot more variety of where the screens go. and one easily holds my 34" 21:9 LG so they are strong enough for probably any newer monitor.
im sure there are cheaper versions that work as well too as the linked ones are a bit pricey.
http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Desk-Mount-Tall-45-295-026/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_op_1
There are these, which have a 12" post. For me personally none of those options were tall enough so I ended up getting two of the standard ergotron arms with 6" posts and simply replaced them with ~$20 in plumbing piping from home depot. Overall it ended up being cheaper and taller than anything else out there.
The ergotron short and tall post versions are rated for 24" monitors according the the tech specs, but on a weight basis with the max being 20lbs. I have a 27" IPS monitor which only weighs 14LBS and it works great on one of these arms. Although I'm told that some older and thicker ( > 2 inches ) LCD monitors have a different center of gravity and that can sometimes be too much for the spring. Most newer monitors seem to be closer to half an inch and getting lighter all the time.
The only function of spikes is to prevent speakers from being too wobbly on thick shag carpetting, so they serve a purpose there.
Put some foam between the stand and the speakers to help decouple the speakers for a tighter sound. Think yoga mat or children's play surface foam. Inch thick will do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/Adam-Hall-SPADECO2-Monitor-Isolation/dp/B007YFWUDO of buy those and cut to fit your speakers with a good kitchen knife on top of a cutting board. These pads and others like it allow aiming speakers slightly down, straight, or slightly upward.
When you place the stands on the hardwood floor, what you hear as 'bass' is actually out of phase resonances of the floor. Your housemates or neighbours will perceive this with much annoyance =}
Bookshelf speakers rarely have any bass to speak of though under 100 hz - getting a decent sub wíll do the trick.
If the bass is totally absent in your bookshelves it may also be due to poor placement - they may be too far apart from each other, and or the room resonances may be cancelling out the speaker's output in some areas of the room. Try placing them closer together - no closer than distance to yourself when listening - and a little bit away from the wall behind them. http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/waspe.html a decent guide ( except for the mentioning of spikes on a wooden floor - utterly useless )
>cushion things that angle them nicely
Monitor isolation. Tidies up the frequency range by isolating the sound vibrations so they don't vibrate the desk/stand/whatever surface the monitors are on.
I have this brand for my 305's and they work perfectly and are cheaper than other equivalents. The ones in the link will fit your 308's.
I've got the Perixx DX-2000XXL. It's big enough for my mouse and keyboard to comfortably fit, and to provide a bit of cushion for my wrists. Super grippy bottom and nicely stitched edges.
It's been easy to clean (doesn't really pick up much dust/dirt) and was pretty cheap compared to some of the other offerings.
I have dual sticks, not have a HOTAS, but I think my setup is still relevant.
I've been toying with the idea of making fold-away holders for my sticks that attach to my chair but it's probably a pipe-dream. I use my computer and desk mainly for work... so any solution has to be removable or tucked away for non-playtime. But until then... this is how I do it:
A year or so ago, someone on this sub suggested Scotch Restickable Dots. I attach 3-4 to the base of each stick and plant them firmly on the mouse pad. I also have many under the mouse pad to keep it secured to the desk top.
Works well for me. I simply pick up the sticks and put them off to the side when I'm done. I remove the Dots from the bases and put them on top of the bases to keep them from sticking to the desk elsewhere. I also cover my sticks when not in use (I have cats)... so the Dots remain fairly clean.
Oh, and the Dots are washable... so you can "refresh" them if they loose their stickiness.
You should get this and upgrade your monitor game.
You can start with a SteelSeries QcK+, or QcK Heavy, depending on if you want the pad to be thicker. Personally I don't like these because they're pretty rough and give me friction burns on my wrist, so if you're worried about that happening to you there's other options like Glorious XL, Razer Gigantus, Zowie G-SR, HyperX Fury S (this one is also rough for me but not as bad as QcK), and there's many more but that's a few off the top of my head. Some are a bit pricey though. If you really want some good info and help from more people, make a post on /r/mousereview saying what games you play and what kind of features, if any, you're looking for. They help me out with mouse related stuff all the time, and I'm also pretty active there too haha.
More than likely the QcK+ will be plenty for you as long as it isn't too rough for you. Seems to be an uncommon problem, but I have talked to other people with the issue. Just try to find a pad that's at least 40cm (400mm) or 16in or so wide, that's the most important thing. Some people swear by the Allsop Raindrop XL even though it's a bit on the small side for me. If you're around 900-1000 eDPI you should be fine with this one, I like it a lot, just wish it had a couple more inches in each dimension.
I have this mousepad (the CompLexity team version) coming in tomorrow if you want to wait and see if I recommend it.
Apologies for the wall of text, I'm kind of into this stuff, probably too much haha.

Unlike a controller, where you were require to turn your sensitivity way up in order to turn around in a reasonable amount of time, you want to turn your mouse sensitivity way down for precise aiming. If you need to spin around quickly at lower sensitivity, you have the ability to swing your arm across your desk to do so.
Also, buy a good mousepad which is large enough for you to do that. I use a Razer Goliathus Speed Edition. It is pretty inexpensive and works great.
Other options:
[Zowie] (https://www.amazon.com/Zowie-Large-Gaming-Mouse-G-SR/dp/B00T56XWZU)
Steel Series
All three of those mousepads get used by professional Overwatch players.
I personally use an older design of the Goliathus with the same tracking surface but a different cosmetic pattern. Some of the new Razer graphics look like the Hulk jizzed on a roofing shingle and they may clash with your gear or sense of taste. They also make a "Control" edition with more texture, but I find it rough and distracting if my wrist touches it and it slows down my mouse slightly without really increasing my accuracy.
I have never used a SteelSeries mousepad, but they are known for good products. I own a keyboard made by them and it is great.
I have never heard of Zowie before checking what gear Overwatch Pros use, but I am interested in how basic it is while presumably having good enough quality for professional gaming. I really enjoy the understated look.
While not exactly a full women's wallet, I found lots of options that will hold several cards.
This.
This.
This.
This.
Or even this. (If she carries a big purse.)
Bonus points if you fill extra slots with cute family pics.
Also, never give a wallet without putting a little money in it first. Even a few pennies. Otherwise it's bad luck.
I use this guy, works pretty well for both P2 and me.

Corsair, Logitech and Razor are overpriced boards with bad quality. Look on different brands.
To get a good one for this price you need to buy keyboard and wrist separately
For example keyboard like this:

And wrist like this:
Not OP, but it's the Reflex Lab Gaming Pad. I have one as well and it's absolutely amazing. Thick, heavy (doesn't slide), and all edges are stitched to keep the surface from peeling up. I've even run mine through the washer/dryer 3 times now with no ill effects.

No, you're correct. If you're long periods of time sitting at a desk then yes, most likely it has something to do with poor circulation.
in other words:

There's some [adapters] (https://www.amazon.com/VESA-Mount-Adapter-Bracket-Monitors/dp/B01DAYR3ZM/) for that
I bought several of these when they were on sale for $6.99 they are $10.99 currently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F0XHA5E/
They are 900mm x 400mm x 2mm (35.4 x 15.7 x 0.1). Stiched edges, good quality.
Yes, it has a map of the world on it but, now I can tell people "I can see Russia from my mouse.". I also use one under my dogs food and water dishes, that one gets washed probably once a week. So far it still looks good as new and none of the stiching has come loose.
It’s a nice one for $11 on amazon.

INTRODUCTION
You are probably wondering what qualifies me to hold these opinions on this topic. Well, I have been gaming on PC for nearly a decade since I started playing minecraft alpha in the 6th grade. I built my first PC in the 8th grade, and since then I have helped build over a dozen systems for friends an family members and friends of family members and family members of friends. Building PCs is one of my favorite things to do, and I am always looking to help more people to make the switch in a cost effective manner.
First off, here is some gameplay from a 1050ti and an i5 7400. These components are more than adequate to surpass 144fps at stretched res and low settings. His whole channel has game play vids of his hardware running popular pc games, and the 1050ti is a little powerhouse for its size. This PC can do much more than run fortnite. It is perfect for competitive CSGO too. Really, this pc will have no problems running competitive shooters and MOBAS at 144fps, and RPGs at 60fps.
While this pc might not be the fastest pc out there, the important part is that it is leagues better than a console. If not for the simple fact that you can turn off shadows and play stretched res, never mind that it averages 144 fps.
.
.
THE BUILD
.
.
Here is the pc part picker list. The 8100 i3 is 11% faster than the 7400 i5 in that video. If you are worried about actually building a PC, don't be. I built my first rig when I was in the 8th grade, and it took less than an hour and booted first time. This video is a great tutorial. Even though the components they are using are different, PC hardware is standardized and the build process is the exact same.
I would get that PC and worry about peripherials later, assuming you already have a computer monitor of some kind at home along with a shitty mouse and keyboard. And if you already game with headphones on your console, there are adapters you can use to plug your console headset into your pc.
.
.
WHAT TO GET NEXT
.
.
Everything after this point is non critical, but will make your experience so much better. I put them in order of importance to your game play experience.
MONITOR
The next purchase you should make after that is this AOC 144hz gsync compatible monitor. Its a great panel, and the gsync works great for eliminating micro stutter and screen tearing. "But /u/RedZaturn, why would you get 144hz when 240hz is a thing!?!?!?" Well timmy, a good 240hz adaptive sync monitor costs almost as much as this entire PC. And whats the point of spending $400 on a monitor that you PC can't even come close to properly utilizing? A build that can properly run fortnite at 240hz is gonna cost closer to $1000, and add in a $400 monitor and the price gets steep quick. Just get a 144hz monitor and stop worrying about it.
**MOUSE AND PAD*
After that, get a good mouse with a decent sensor. Optical mice are generally better than laser mice. The m65 is a good FPS style mouse and your scroll wheel click, scroll up, scroll down, thumb forward, and thumb backward are all assignable.A large mouse pad that takes up your entire desk is also a good thing to get. When playing shooters, you want your DPI to be much less sensitive than what your average non gamer has their mouse set to. This allows you to be much more accurate, and the lower your sens the more room you need to move your mouse.
MECHANICAL KEEB
After that, Get a mechanical keyboard with the switch of your choice. I prefer reds. Cherry MX switches are the most trusted out there, but any mechanical switch will be better than a membrane keyboard.
OPENING THE SAILS TO ACQUIRE A COPY OF WINDOWS
If you have an old windows pc lying around you can use the key off of the sticker on the case to activate pirated windows. If the activate windows watermark doesn't bother you, there is no point worrying about buying a legitimate copy.
.
.
CONCLUSION**
.
.
Basically, building a PC isn't a sprint. You don't have to buy all the top end gear to have a better experience than what you get on a console. Streamers like ninja and tfue have their crazy powerful systems because they make crazy amounts of money. But it is completely overkill for what they play. And upgrading components slowly over time is how I did it almost a decade ago. I stuffed a GPU into my super old and slow PC just to get 60fps in counter strike source. Played on a shitty mouse and keyboard that my school threw out and I snagged from the trash. Used an old plasma vga monitor from a PC my dad bought in 2003 that looked absolutely horrible. And I loved every second of it. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments!

Something like this would be awesome.

EDIT: Yeah, that’s working =D
Wow. Assuming you bought those, you're budget is pretty flexible?
Also assuming you want a stand that can have them side-by-side because I've never seen curveds on top of eachother.
Seems pretty hard to find a mount/stand for 3x 31.5" or higher in a side-by-side atleast. You could also get 3x 1 arm stand or 1x 2 arm and 1x 1arm, but that gets messy.

https://www.jestik.com/collections/triple-monitor-mounts/products/jestik-multi-bild-triple?variant=24363232070
something like this?
I recommend looking on Amazon.com at brands like Vivo, Mount-It, and AmazonBasics for good mounts for reasonable prices.
If a single triple monitor mount is not enough to properly fit all of the monitors you could get 3 singles. Make sure all of your screens have VESA mounting holes. If they have different VESA mount sizes you can get size adaptors.
Triple monitor mount 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_VD5OCbJX1ZC75
Triple monitor mount 2 (more flexible): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_uD5OCbF76S6YM
Single monitor mount (X3): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B21TLQU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_xE5OCbW8QX4H4
Once you go VESA mounted you never go back, so worth it man. I have my TV mounted on a VESA arm for playing Halo/Xbox, and my work desk has double monitor setup is VESA mounted too and it's worth the cleaness and space saving.
2 changes that might be needed...
thisis what i use for my triple set up that goes directly into my desk, rather than on my wall. You can mount it further back and use some of the arms to get everything in the right spot.
I use this SteelSeries Mousepad, and I absolutely love it 100%. It's high quality, has a great feel, and is the perfect thickness for me. For your setup, I'm actually thinking you could rock an XL pad that goes under both your mouse and keyboard. While SteelSeries does have a couple basic XL and XXL mousepads, you could always get a Corsair pad, or go and get yourself something RGB. Totally see where you're coming from in terms of not finding any that you like. I know that you can probably get one custom made, or something with a design that complements your case/controller color schemes. Just a couple ideas to get you started, but I feel like it will end up being a simple, yet highly impactful, addition to your setup.
Again, that means it's a YMMV thing. Not saying you or any of those other people didn't experience this. Furthermore it's got a 4.5 star rating over 487 ratings on Amazon. Usually that means it's a REALLY good product. https://www.amazon.com/LUXCOMS-Oversized-Extended-%EF%BC%8CNon-Slip-Mat%EF%BC%8C31-5X/dp/B07GSXJZSV

$20 bucks is worth it considering most stores will not take back parts damaged by you. Obviously everyone will lie and say "It never worked out of the box" but set their parts on a towel/carpet during the build. You caused the problem and now you have to ship stuff back or spend time going back to the store to replace parts. Spent more time and money then $20 bucks for an anti static mat.

I like your idea of a monitor to watch movies. I put speakers near mine to listen to music while I work.
Well. I make speakers so what can you do...
Static electricity. There are however antistatic mats that you can buy such as: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-24x27-5-Inch-Desktop-Anti-Static-M3013/dp/B00009XT3H
No problem!
I'm in the same boat man. I've been fucked by the DMV for 2 years now so I still don't have a license, and I'm 20. I'm pretty jealous of people that have the coordination to play instruments!
I understand the money struggle as well. I live on a dead-end island where all jobs are seasonal, so during winter jobs are scarce.
If you are scared about frying parts, you may want to look into getting an ESD mat, an ESD wrist strap, and a proper PC repair toolkit. Just some things every PC builder/user should have in their arsenal. Just follow proper procedure and ground/discharge yourself before working on parts and you'll be fine.
Invest in a static pad for your build space and connect it to a ground. Better safe than sorry.
static mat on amazon
Adhesive mousemat possibly? Googling that gives pictures of the Razer Sphex, and also this thing which seems similar.
Cyborg (MadKatz) R.A.T. 7 set to 3000 DPI. Nice and modular, with weights that you can remove or add to get the feel that you're looking for. I had problems tracking on a dark surface, so went with a Shiny silver one and never looked back.
Edit: I'm also using a Mechanical Keyboard, 27" monitor and bitching office chair. Fucking around level: 0.
I just cleaned my kitchen, which makes me super happy--it was disgusting, and now it's sparkling clean!!!
If I win, could I have this? I want to give it to my best friend!! He's broke and in law school, and it would make me super happy to give him something :)
Congrats! You should also treat yourself to this fantastic mouse pad ;)

That's the one I have. Doesn't hit the price target that well, but given how long this will last compared to a fabric pad, it's worth it IMO.
I used to have a SteelSeries QcK and never figured out why cloth mousepads are a thing again. It felt marginally better than the cloth mousepads I had in the 90s.
I switched to a SteelSeries 4HD: http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Professional-Gaming-Mouse-Black/dp/B002J9G5AE/
It's hard plastic but it's much more slick than the cloth pad. I like it much more than the cloth one. I use a Logitech g602 mouse.
I personally use this and I love it! Steelseries makes pretty good pads.
I have a SteelSeries hard mousepad that Id sell for $15 (or $10+ shipping, whatever that'd be). I'm 99% sure it's this 4HD Professional model but I won't be able to give you specifics on the model until I get home (~1.5hr).
I have so many strong opinions about this topic!
We love Eldritch Horror, but for the first few months we had it, our table space was very limited. As such we grabbed two of these to reduce the footprint of all of the decks - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YTO3JE/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apip_kMLCI6PtTWjJT.
With two of them you can hold all of the location, expedition, other world, mythos, clue, mystery, all conditions, and artifact decks. And they take up maybe a foot of space? Best investment ever.
Every time I go to a Dollar Tree, I check to see if they have a pack of these rectangular containers. Tiny, and perfect to hold just about anything, and it will fit in most board game boxes. The round ones are pretty useless, which is why I haven't just bought a case yet (you get them assorted in a case). And 10 of them for $1. You can't beat that. Food safe, so I use them for packed lunches as well (like bringing a tablespoon or two of sour cream or something).
I've also heard of someone using a business card rack like this for setting up cards in Arkham Horror. Haven't tried it myself, but I like the idea.
I've also "made" some custom boxes for Munchkin using those wooden boxes from Hobby Lobby (with that 40% off coupon, of course), a piece of balsa wood, and some coffee (for a natural stain).
I use these with my Arkham Horror game. That game uses a ton of different decks and these holders make it easy to stack a bunch of them in a small amount of space. I could see arranging a number of different token piles with a similar setup.
Found one on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-8-pocket-Desktop-Business-Holder/dp/B002YTO3JE/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1342452380&sr=8-26&keywords=business+card+holder
i just take out what i need and throw them around the board but they sell magic the gathering sorting trays i was looking at.
This is one of them. but i dont like paying 20 dollars for something that i dont "need" but if the measurements are right it would fit in the box with some extra room.
https://www.amazon.com/Slant-Holder-Compatible-Euro-style-Board/dp/B06XX9QLS1/ref=pd_sbs_21_8?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XX9QLS1&pd_rd_r=N17KSHQ3Y6KX3CNXP9V9&pd_rd_w=iaJUW&pd_rd_wg=iJTK9&psc=1&refRID=N17KSHQ3Y6KX3CNXP9V9
The other option would be one of these card holders. i love it because its cheap, nice, and holds all the cards if you see in the reviews someone actually uses EH cards for it. But the downside is that it wont fit in the box and that makes me sad :(

Since Razer was brought up, as it usually is, my experience with a Vespula has been good. It has two surface styles, one slick and the other with light texture. The whole thing is at a nice height for both work and play, but the mouse surface and wrist rest are separate so you can do without if preferred. The one negative (other than the name) is the wrist rest decal, which will peel off in chunks given half a chance. I don't know what they were thinking with that. Will it improve your game? Hard to say, but I think you'll find it nice to have a quality, dedicated space available when spending that much time with a mouse.
I also own a Logitech mx518 and it's been solid as well. The key feature is being able to adjust the sensitivity on the fly.
I like the Razer Vespula
It's hard top pad, dual sided and includes a wrist pad. Not as gaudy as most of the Razer line either. Also pretty cheap for what it is.

Razer pad with wrist rest. I just got it about a week ago and frankly I love this thing. It doesn't make playing the games any easier but I have noticed I can play for longer.
Thats pretty cheap for a gaming mouse pad. Take a look at this thing
Razer Vespula, come with a cushion for your rest, but I like it better without it.

Happy Zambambo!
This organizer would help a ton.
I hope you have a great day!!
I've heard decent things about these pouches from Condor, relatively inexpensive
https://www.amazon.ca/Condor-Outdoor-POUCH-Pouch-Black/dp/B00CAYBC88/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1541651606&sr=8-14&keywords=condor+mesh
Personally I got a cocoon Grid-it organizer panel about a month ago, https://www.amazon.ca/Cocoon-GRID-Organizer-Black-CPG7BK/dp/B00479FQCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541651757&sr=8-1&keywords=grid-it
fits pretty well in my edc/school backpack. I keep my pencil case, headphones, calculator, the plug for my phone charger, a small calendar, and one or two other small things on the front occupying less than half the space. The back just has a zippered pocket where I keep some misc papers, a formula sheet and ruler in. It sits in my bag in front of my laptop, my notebook, and a thin text book, but behind my laptop charger, and few first aid things and my waterbottle. It really has made my backpack organization more efficient.
If you're male and looking for a bag that isn't a backpack, making you look like a child, and isn't a purse that is feminine. Then I suggest the Frost River Field Satchel, the small one is big enough. I carry all my stuff in there every where I go.
I combine it with the Cacoon Grid-it Small Organizer which fits perfectly inside.
It should be fine. The company actually sells this http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4 and http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-45-248-026-Stacking/dp/B0036RDOT8
They don't let you just buy the base or replacement pole.
DP cables are mostly the same, can't go wrong with monoprice though, they sell some on Amazon too. I think mine is an Amazon Basics though. Yes the stock one is super short that comes with it. I have an odd setup but I originally got a 6ft DP then sent it back as it was to short and ended up with a 10ft.
 
I got this beauty of an arm mount for my X34. I went with the taller pole one as I like more height than most people. I love it, it's great! Anything Ergotron will be great though, the Amazon Basics arms are just relabeled Ergotron but come in black instead of chrome.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you sir. So just to be clear, this is the one, right? http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409767597&sr=1-2&keywords=lx+arm
The one with the tall pole?
I have been using this one for the last 2-3 years no issues what so ever to hold my LG 34um95. I have a block of wood between the under anchor and desk for extra weight displacement to the desk. Ergotron is expensive but nothing but the best to hold up my baby.
https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497288938&sr=8-2&keywords=ergotron+monitor+arm
Can't beat the Ergotron LX with tall pole. I use it work with a Thunderbolt display; it holds up fine even though the weight limit specification it dangerously close.
For dual monitors, I use the LX side-by-side with two extension arms for extra height.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gG1lybR93BMW
Here is the one I use, it's desk mount but it's definitely strong enough for the weight of the monitor. A lot of arm mounts aren't strong enough to handle the weight but I think this one is rated for up to 20 lbs.
Edit: just saw that they also have a wall mounted version of the same arm
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00358RFJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CW1lyb3S3G7G4
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JG9RQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thats what I bought but the bottom stand on the current version is different looking...
all that aside its awesome really heavy and sturdy. I have the top monitor mounted in the tube on the stand, I just pulled off that silver thing on the bottom and put it right in no bolts or anything its supported on its own weight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00689HXI4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hey, yeah a setup like this would work for movies on a TV just as well. Putting the speakers on stands gives you the best sound quality, but you can put the speakers on a TV stand without problems too. Though I would advise putting something underneath them for isolation (small foam blocks or something like this).
Now for movies small bookshelf speakers might not have enough low-end, so a subwoofer would be a good addition if you really want deep rumbling bass. Otherwise for normal music (non-EDM) just the speakers should be sufficient.
Are absorbtion plates like this worth it when you place your speakers including a big subwoofer on the table?

http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-DX-2000XXL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IFXM
Get whatever size fits you best. Absolutely loving this mousepad and it's so cheap. Stitched edges too so no fraying/peeling.
10$ over your budget, but I use this and it is huge. http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-DX-2000XXL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IFXM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406659017&sr=8-3&keywords=perixx+dx-2000.
http://imgur.com/ryeSXCe
That looks like a low priced knock-off of this Perixx DX-2000 XXL Mouse Pad. Same size, thickness, and even the seems around the edge are stitched similarly.
I would argue that the extended size Perixx is one of the best looking pads around. Certainly better than that god awful Razer pad.
As for the quality, I have the "Large" version, which is quite a nice pad. Feels good, there isnt any extra resistance when moving the mouse, nor is there too little resistance. It's got the same clean look. The only real downside I have with it, is that it rather minimally slides around on my desk as I have it positioned. Although a simple readjustment and that problem is remedied. The huge extended size one I doubt would have that issue, seeing as it is massive and should get stuck in place.
Perixx. They make a few sizes. Same price as TekMat cleaning mats.

I think it's something like this although it doesn't have the text in the upper right. It's those dimensions though, 900mm by 300mm.
I have this one and have no complaints. It's roughed up a little but I've also had it for like 2 years.
I was the same so i bought this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perixx-DX-2000XXL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IFXM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422608832&sr=8-3&keywords=DX-2000 - It has a little logo but not as obvious as razers. Hope this helps :)
Depends what size you want. I'd just look on Amazon and check out the ones with the most reviews and just go from there. I'm personally using this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GB0IFXM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A313151JUUD897
$20 for a big mousepad. You can't go wrong really. Far better value than anything razer sells which is all overpriced.
VIVO Dual LCD Monitor Height Adjustable Desk Mount Stand Black Deluxe Gas Spring Arms hold 2 Screens up to 27" (STAND-V002D) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4D395O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CLfKAb1PYB3NE
Do you want a wall mount or desk mount? I usually go with desk mounts.
I personally like gas spring monitor mounts a lot because they offer a high degree of adjustments. You can pivot, tilt, swivel, and height adjust by just moving the monitor around with your hands.
It feels like the monitor is floating in the air almost.
https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Deluxe-Screens-STAND-V002D/dp/B00M4D395O/
Some people don't like/want to adjust their monitors. They prefer a fixed mount like one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FQSAWDQ/
Hahaha, I feel you with the /r/nosleep grind. This is the stand I'm using, great for moving the monitors around but not quite as nice as I hoped
http://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Deluxe-Screens-STAND-V002D/dp/B00M4D395O
I have (2) 27” dell 1440p 144hz monitors mounted on this desk with no issues, c clamp on the back. I have tons of space. I would go that route, but even with them on their stands, you would have enough space. The table is exactly those dimensions.
Here is what I use:

Edit: I do keep my UPS and PC on the floor on their own small stands, as I don’t like the extra weight on the desk or risking them falling. I keep my monitors, Xbox and switch on my desk. So I have a ton of free room for work and gaming.
Not as cheap, but:

Add the word "gas" to your search parameters. That'll get you the ones with gas spring arms that can be adjusted really easily on the fly. Alternative to getting a dual mount: get two single arm mounts.
I have this https://www.amazon.ca/Monitor-Deluxe-Screens-STAND-V002D-VIVO/dp/B00M4D395O/ref=pd_cp_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GZSEN4JAMEZ2ZDR4SDEA
bought about a year ago, work well enough for me (1 27in 4k + 1 23in 1080).
This looks to be the older model. I bought this version a week ago. Works great, Pretty easy to setup.
Dang, that's a $30 mousepad. Your cat is SPOILED.
Look at the Zowie G-SR
I switched from console for better framerate since I didn't care about "next-gen" 4k graphics at 30fps. I quit controller cold turkey and never looked back. Unfortunately, there is a high barrier to entry so I like to help people switch and have a good experience instead of pure frustration and end up reverting back to using a controller.
This keybinding philosophy guide is pretty decent at describing the reasoning behind choosing certain keybinds over others.
I also highly recommend using these scroll wheel keybinds many of which could definitely be considered unfair advantage.
Feel free to dm me if you have more questions.

Hey,
I've tried the Hayate Otsu, and I can't recommend it. It may be an isolated issue, but when I tried it out for a week, it had a critical problem with static electricity. Yeah, I do mean that.. it is strange to describe as I've never expected this to be a problem either.
Whenever mice had contact with it and after moving the mouse on it for a minute, the friction built up tons of charge which shocked everything I touched, including my headphones. This was so bad I had to get rid of it. Otherwise, the size was too small. I did like their package where they ship it flat without bending it. In my opinion it was definitely not worth the price premium and hassle of finding it.
I now currently own the Zowie G-SR, which seems just about as perfect as I would want a mouse pad to be. Everything from the thickness, rubber pads, even surface, edge finishes, and no annoying giant logo.
My favorite before this mousepad was the Steelseries Qck Heavy, but this Zowie one just beats it out by perfecting it.
Get this one. You'll love it.
ZOWIE G-SR mousepad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T56XWZU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.p0MAbJ0NZV6G
Thanks, I ended up getting this one.
Here's an alternative that should more than meet your needs so long as you don't mind your cards being horizontal and having slightly more modern look about it with the push clasp. It has enough to cover all the spells a wizard would learn natural just going from 1 to 20 (5 cantrips, 44 spells), and still leave you with 41 slots that can be used for extra spells you add to your spellbook along the way. If you have them, you could even use those slots for the GF9 magic item or creature cards (for summoned creatures/familiars).
I got one of these and it's been a life saver compared to just having a giant pile: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UBNWLB2/ref=twister_B00UBNWKVS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I only keep 2-5 cards in my wallet (depending on overlap): restaurant bonus, grocery bonus, Costco bonus, and 1-2 min spend cards.
I use and have seen a number of folks mention the Boshiho holder for cards.
I'd actually recommend you get a separate wrist rest, that way you have your choice of material(such as wood or foam ones), and separate wrist rests are usually better than the ones on stock keyboards like the K70. I've had one before and the wrist rest was kinda meh.
Got this one instead

Based on the logo, I think it may be one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/Reflex-Lab-Stitched-Waterproof-Smooth-36/dp/B00WY1BMDM/

Honestly I can't remember. Bought on Amazon a while back, I'll see if I can find the link. It's supposed to be longer, but I cut a good 7-8 inches of so it would fit in my old desks keyboard tray.
Edit: [Found it!] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WY1BMDM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OJWgzbP4JDBDB)
This is the one I use, and it's honestly one of the best things I've bought for my setup, absolutely love it, and $20 is super cheap as far as upgrading your battlestation goes. There's a bunch of options though, just search 'XXL mouse mat' on Amazon and check em out. IIRC there's even a PCMR one on there.

The super big ones aren't expensive and I literally never hit the edge now.
It's a Reflex Labs from Amazon
I don't know what you mean by 5cm/360, but I play on low sensitivity, high dpi, and on this mousepad. My mouse feet do look like they are wearing a little bit.
Well then...
Before I get to the list, I'll mention that it may not seem like I'm super active, but I was away from the sub for a week or so, but if you look into my posts from before that, you'll see I'm pretty active. :)
1.) Something that is blue. - I mean, it's literally blue.
2.) Something that says summer. - What says summer better than SURFING!?
3.) Something food related that is unusual. - It's a Kit Kat. But it's GREEN TEA flavored!
4.) Something you want to gift to someone else, and tell me why. - I've been trying to get /u/quickwittedslowpoke to buy this manga because it's awesome, but she hasn't yet. I really want her to read it!
5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! - Shameless shilling. My friend wrote this book and I want him to become famous! :D
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! - I don't really have a great reason for this, it was just on my mind because I had considered getting it as a gag gift for my uncle's birthday since his lucky number is 113 and that Pokemon is #113, but I didn't end up doing it since it wouldn't have arrived by his birthday (which already passed).
7.) Something related to dogs. - I have no idea what GSD is, sorry D:
8.) Something that is not useful, but so awesome you must have it. - It's literally just a statue. It doesn't do anything but look cute. But she's one of my favorite characters :D
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? - This is one of the best Anime films of all time. Even if you're not into anime, I still highly recommend it. It has won COUNTLESS awards already. It's a pretty big deal in the anime community. It's got a great plot and it's so sad that if you don't cry, you have no soul.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. - Zombies can't swim. Foolproof plan. They'll eventually decay in the sun and all die within a few days, and you'll be out on your cool ass boat, safe from the chaos.
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. - I know it seems a little silly, but I'm trying to learn to cook better, and I just don't really have very good cooking tools...
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. - Fun fact: I obsessively clean my ears. :I
13.) Something fandom related. - It's three fandoms in one! Super Smash Bros, Nintendo and Final Fantasy! :D
14.) Something ridiculously priced, more than $10,000. They exist, y’all. - Because it's eleven times what you asked :)
15.) Something with sharks or unicorns. - It was actually pretty decent.
16.) Something that smells wonderful. - At least I think it does. Needs lots of sugar though lol
17.) A toy that you wanted or had when you were a child that was the best ever, or (if it’s not on amazon) a toy that you think is pretty cool now - Does this count? I had the original back in the 80s/90s, and this is a new model with packed in games. But yeah, this shit was my childhood!
18.) Something that would be helpful for writers. - I mean, really, what're you gonna do with unsharpened pencils?
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. - The Precure anime franchise is one of my guilty pleasures, and this character, Cure Peace, is my favorite character in the series! :D
20.) Something that is just so random and weird that it makes you laugh. - Because why the fuck not?
this is something i kinda wanted haha i love deadpool.

I also recommend an anti-static mat if you are a builder:

If this is a builder workbench I would also recommend a good surge strip:

I'd get a couple multimeters, definitely flux, solder pumps, breadboards, maybe a vise, some perfboard, and a bunch of resistors/capacitors/common ICs/LEDs/logic chips/header pins/etc.
The components, perfboard, and breadboards you can get from China (via eBay or Tayda) for cheap.
Pliers, wirestrippers, dikes, tweezers, a few helping hands, screwdriver sets, etc are pretty much necessary. Since you're on a budget, you can get a bunch of this stuff from Harbor Freight, it's crappy quality but it'll do the job.
For the mats, you can get antistatic mats on Amazon (I have this on my desk right now, it's fine).
Consider a bench supply, it's not crucial if you're mostly working with Arduinos/Raspis, but could come in handy.
Get one of these and one of these and you'll be golden.
Get a small anti static mat maybe?
I'd have her try grounding some other way first just to make sure that is it. I would think touching the computer shell would do it.
Would getting something like this to have under my PC be a good idea since it's going to be on carpet? I head that having some kind of stand helps with airflow, and I was wondering if this would do the job for that. http://www.amazon.ca/Startech-Com-24X26-Inch-Desktop-Anti-Static-M3013/dp/B00009XT3H/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449298535&sr=8-1&keywords=anti+static+mat
Ohhhhh, that'll kill a keyboard in a hurry. Try getting ahold of an antistatic mat -- here's one on Amazon -- put that under your keyboard, and always touch that when you sit down at the keyboard before touching the keyboard.

try that for grounding your desktop i have never grounded a desktop before i would look for a mat for your keyboard
as for the ping issue im not sure other than your connection to the router and internet
https://www.amazon.com/d/B00009XT3H
use one of these on your desk, connect the clip to something grounded, touch the mat before touching your keyboard

I mainly have experience with 2 mice, a Logitech g602 (everyday, used and nearby locations) , and a small Logitech MX Anywhere 2 (when I have to travel further and need to pack smart)
Not sure if the link will work as I'm on mobile but I've always ended up going back to this one from 3M. Going to have to see if I can get a larger size one from them when I finally make the switch to lower sensitivity for infantry play.
It's a standard size (not gamer) pad without the annoying foam backing. It has an adhesive backing so you can stick it to the glass where you want and it won't move (although it has a spot where you can peel it off from if you want to move it).
I use the 3M Precision Mousing Surface. It's not particularly large, which I like because I'm a little cramped for space. It's about the thickness of a credit card, but flexible. The top is ridged in a way that makes my R.A.T. 3 just glide over it super smoothly. Never had any issues with it losing tracking or anything, and I can't speak for how well it extends mouse battery life as I can't stand gaming with a heavy wireless mouse.
As for speakers, I don't know if I can really help you since I use a pair of Bowers & Wilkins DM602 bookshelf speakers and a Lepai 20w amplifier. Those speakers might be a bit out of your price range, but I totally recommend going the outboard amp + bookshelf speaker route if you have the room and want really good sound.
How rough is your desk? Try using your mouse without the pad to see if it works properly.
The new mouse pad is obviously a problem, so you're going to need to replace it with something.
this mouse pad claims to be specifically for laser mice. The reviews are pretty positive too.
if you don't want to buy a new mousepad, you could just lay a piece of paper over it or your desk, or you could use cloth if you want something more comfortable.
If thats your jam you can use a mouse pad like this one
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Precise-Repositionable-Adhesive-MP200PS-x/dp/B0017D5Z40
>playing on a glossy/ smooth wood desk
shiny or glossy surfaces could cause an issue, have you tried a mouse pad or other surface, it is good to have a surface that has bits/stripes of dark and light to get a good interference pattern
​
I use one of these 3M mouse pads that have a good pattern(works well with optical/laser) and is super smooth which helps accuracy https://www.amazon.com/3M-Precise-Repositionable-Adhesive-MP200PS-x/dp/B0017D5Z40
There are mousepads like that: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Precise-Repositionable-Adhesive-MP200PS/dp/B0017D5Z40
I think that's about as thin as you're going to get, without going with an adhesive film of some sort.
If you have a mouse pad that you are dead set on, then please ignore, but I switched to one of these, and I feel it is superior to all of the foam mouse pads running around. I'm not a hard-core gamer though…
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Precise-Repositionable-Adhesive-MP200PS/dp/B0017D5Z40
This would remove the need to inset it.
Things I really liked for my desk: legs with casters, a foot rest, a sit-stand option for when I want to work.. a trash bin?
Thanks for the responses. Would have gone Steelseries QCK min but wanted something even thinner. Found a super cheap 3m "adhesive" mousepad that sticks to your laptop lid.

SteelSeries 4HD
If he doesn't already have them, premium peripherals are way cool. I use one of these. (upper end of your price range)
It's a transcendental experience when paired with a quality hard mouse surface (low end of your price range)
Can't recommend it at all. Material felt cheap and it didn't last long.
http://www.amazon.de/SteelSeries-4HD-Gaming-Mauspad-schwarz/dp/B002J9G5AE/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1463994284&sr=1-2&keywords=steelseries+mousepad
This one is pretty nice. You won't be using the wrist rest anyway (restricts movement) that you'd get with the other one, so all in all you save money and get a more responsive mousepad that will last you longer.
Or if you really want a tread pattern and are made of money for mouse pads
http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Professional-Gaming-Mouse-Black/dp/B002J9G5AE/ref=pd_sim_147_17?ie=UTF8&dpID=41n0lW295pL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=12R6QMNQXGCZYZX37AHW
This is a little smaller than the Monoprice pad you linked. Honestly $20 isn't a lot for a good mouse pad that should last you for quite awhile.
For those that game on their PC, these two simple items will make a world of difference:
High DPI gaming mouse http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00AAQRNQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qjmYtb1MTCV3X
And a mat to get the best out of your mouse http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002J9G5AE/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ohmYtb182T30D
You'd be surprised how much difference they make.
This is the one I use and I absolutely love it.
I really like the SS 4HD mousepad: https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Professional-Gaming-Mouse-Black/dp/B002J9G5AE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480193544&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+hard+mousepad

I've owned my 4HD from steel series for over 6 years and it is amazing.
I should've asked this question years ago, but I'm just wondering if there's any reason for this:
I have a CM Storm Sentinel Advance II laser sensor mouse that just could not function/track on any neoprene/cloth mousepad. I had a neoprene pad that covered the length of the keyboard + mouse, but I had to switch to a SteelSeries 4HD Gaming Pad that is a hard plastic composition for the mouse to work. I've been using that plastic pad since then but I would like to switch back to a large neoprene pad since it's summer and hand/forearm sweat makes it hard to move the mouse around on a plastic pad.
My research says that laser sensors should work on any surface but my mouse didn't work until I switched to my current pad. Is my mouse defective? I'd like to switch pads without switching my mouse, but will ultimately make that change if I have to.
I googled what you mean and I do have the "Enhance pointer precision" box checked in Windows 7's Mouse settings. In the game itself, Raw Input is set to true in the settings.
As for my surface I use a SteelSeries 4HD Professional Gaming Mouse Pad. I used to have a Razer cloth pad but in the humid months it would get sticky and my mouse wouldn't move across it as well so I went to plastic and it glides really easy.
Sometimes it fucks me when I'm going for a really precise headshot for someone behind cover but most of the time it lets me whip around and hit people while hipfiring so it seems to work for me.
I do have my dpi/sensitivity set fairly high. I like to be able to move around with minimal physical movement as lazy as that sounds.
Just bought this, no complaints. Very high quality and works great for gaming
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YTO3JE/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_VHS4xbVZKYMPA

Have you thought of using business card holders for the cards? Someone mentioned it here at some point.
I have two of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YTO3JE
Razer Vespula
I use a wrist rest that keeps my wrist strait and this little notch does not bother me in the slightest.
I do recommend a wrist rest, but not the Vespula. The 'control' side is bubbling up and the 'speed' side is slower than the 'control'. I only keep it because of the wrist rest and the size of the mouse area.
Maybe this one from razer? I think it’s dual sided with one side being hard and one soft (possibly their cloth material). It should be fairly portable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036WTBFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_eLuFAbM234XW7
However if it’s for a laptop and you want an extremely portable mousepad the kabuto is a great bet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722JC9PJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xOuFAbV4HWH9T
I own a SteelSeries Sensei and I want a Razer Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat and I want a Corsair Vengeance K70 Black Cherry MX Brown (Though it comes with Red and Blue switches as well).
I can recommended the SteelSeries Sensei, it is one of the best gaming mice I have ever owned. Don't let anybody fool you, nobody needs 8200dpi (coughcoughRazercoughcough). The average top-tier professional gamer uses their mouse at an average of 3200 dpi. Not even considering the fact that dpi is not even a good measure of mouse movement. That being said... the Sensei feels great as long as you have a palm style holding. If you have a claw-grip style of holding your mouse, I recommend the RAT7 or RAT9, avoid the RAT5 it's awful.
I prefer rigid surfaces. I love this one
the logitech is a great mouse, but it is kinda odly shaped and gets a little uncomfortable after a little while, and as lieutenantClone said, it does drag a lot, personally i use a razer death adder. Also i have tried the 7g, and im not to big of a fan, the button press is a little off in my opinion, right now im using a razer arcosa, but i would recommend the Razer BlackWidow, and for surfaces, this is gonna sound bad, but Razer Vespula, just some suggestions, and im not a razer fan boy all thought it may seem, ive used many different gaming electronics, and ive had some good ones, but for the price i think razer is pretty good
I have This and it's the only Razer item I will still have after I get new headphones.
Probably won't replace it as it work incredibly well with (2) different sides
Some things to consider to optimize your mouse setup:
• DPI: People have different preferences, and you gotta find what works for you and your current monitor resolution. It's generally good practice to buy a mouse with decent DPI settings. I recommend this.
• Mouse Pad: A large and smooth surface area for your movements is always better. This is why a lot of people prefer mouse pads like this and this.
• Hand/Mouse Ratio: I can't really recommend anything here, but it's usually best to use a mouse that feels right for your hand. In other words, ergonomics. The mouse I posted above works for me, but it may not be best for everyone. My recommendation here is to go to a local electronics store and try out their display 'gaming' mouses.
Good luck!

Heres a good one for just the mouse. Here is a pretty large one. This looks like one that you can use for the entirety of your keyboard and mouse.
You still have a few years left, I'm 25, have 450 hours, and still slaughter 95% of the people who make the mistake of crossing my path.
Have you tried upping your sensitivity so you don't have to waste so much time moving your hand so far?^1 Another important thing is to make sure your FOV is maxed, it makes a huge difference.
I have a razer exactmat/vespula and use the speed side (which has had the small area I use worn even smoother), I keep my mouse feet and pad "ocd clean", be sure your mouse's feet are clean^1 it really sucks when you nearly kill someone only to have your mouse stick a little and get you killed.

All are well known issues. Read the reviews on Amazon:

I don't need to break this shit. It's happy breaking itself.
Yeah, mostly "traditional" retail stores will fading away soon, Gamestop should having to worry about losing the sales due of consoles and computer now allow to buy digital games. Most retro games now can be available on the internet called emulator or MEME if you own a arcade cabinet can installed by a computer inside. Digital games are compared to people using play small games on the smartphone without a disc or flash drive needed. If your wrist gets hurted while using a mouse, i believe some manufacturer selling the soft pillow on the top mousepad, this one i bought (feeling like a little hard pillow), link here. If this price is so expensive for you, other mousepads sells cheaper, link here.
I need a new mousepad with a wristrest. I have been using the razer vespula for years and love it, but the issue is the actual grey cover starts peeling after ~1-1.5 years of use, and even using crazy glue doesn't make it stick again. And since it costs 55+tax(used to be 40..) in Canada I dont really want to keep shelling out money for it knowing it has a limited lifespan, as this is my 4th one.
I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations for mousepads with wrist rests, I prefer non-smooth covers.
I have a Razer Vespula (http://amzn.to/PmSRHl) that I am quite satisfied with.
I have the Razer Vespula. Has two sides, Smooth and Textured. (Speed. Control) and a somewhat stiff, yet comfortable wrist wrest. It's really the first mousepad I've owned(except for shitty cloth-y ones) and I love it. Check it out!
If you have a Goodwill nearby, you should definitely check it out for purses. You'd be surprised by the gems you can find there!
As for saving space in your purse, you should get a Grid-it. Extra pockets in purses (that you may not even use!) usually just add extra bulk. You can really make the most out of your purses with these organizers. You can probably make one yourself if you're strapped for cash.
Edit: This is an absolute lifesaver. Comes with a pen, scissors, tweezers, toothpick, screw drivers, nail file, flash light, magnifying glass, and a ruler, and it all fits in your wallet! Got mine at TjMaxx a few years ago and I've been carrying it around with me ever since.

I got lucky and found the Grey one used for 8 bucks. The black, pink, and white and the cheapest right now
I keep trying to post this through mobile, so, sorry if there are tons of duplicates.
Have you considered getting a Grid-It organiser to organise things like chargers and headphones? What about something like a nice leather roll-up pencil holder to store all his pens and pencils?
Ren you are amazing! I love August because the weather starts cooling off but I hats it because school starts =( 31 days for Augustus!!!!
Dish rack from my things I really want wishlist
Grid it from the same wishlist!!
Also, check out something like this organizer if you go with something that is just a single large compartment.
Thank you. I really like the second. Though it does look more like a gym bag than a work bag. Could work though.
I like the simplicity of Le Pilage but I am avoiding having multiple smaller bags to keep things organized.
FYI, I use GridIt Organizer to keep laptop cables, headphones and my phone organized in my current work tote.
This is what I end up getting, its a bit bulky but definitely good quality. Perfectly fits my blade & charger, deathader mouse, mouse pad and a GRID-IT. Also has a molle system for pouches if you'd like.
Sure. I used the tall poll Ergotron arm with the regular Ergotron arm, and the extension for the extra height of the top monitor. Edit: here's a pic – excuse the cable, but at this point in my life, I've learned to live with them :)
I picked up this one, mostly because I got it for ~$100 from a third party seller -
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NV4UX0/
I had been waiting a while for the ergotron lx (tall pole version) to come back down in price, but got impatient with waiting -
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4
It seems to have a lot more reviews, but according to camelcamelcamel, the price is at its highest right now ($160).
What do you mean sag? Looks like both links point to the same mount, just that one isn't clamped to the desk.
I know it's likely not quite what you're looking for, but I have two of these which each hold an Asus PB279Q perfectly, I can move them to any position I want and it stays rock solid.
Try an Ergotron Arm
I have two of these to hold my monitors and they are pretty great. You can run the wires through the arm so they are "hidden" and its pretty damn adjustable. There are other arm-things out there but they are pricier than the Ergotron brand i think.
Haha yea IKEA desks FTW! As for the monitor stand I am using the ergotron monitor arm - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ergotron-Long-Pole-Mount-Screen/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409520178&sr=8-4&keywords=ergotron
I have 2 LG 24UD58-B monitors. I am looking at this VESA mount:
https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4
would this be compatible? I think so because it is VESA?
The ASUS uses a fully copper cooling system I believe, that is really unmatched. You can pay extra to get it in the [Sager NP8651](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&products_id=7690&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank) but even that doesn't compare to it.
As for the case being a heatsink of sorts, no, not really. Even if they say the machine is aluminum, that's just a veneer, and under it is all plastic. If they did make it out of metal, it'd either face the risk of conduction or it'd get too hot to touch (like some of the older Macbooks that tried that design).
So, I use my laptop for exactly what you do. I do masonry restoration and am sent out of town a lot. I use my laptop almost exclusively for travel, and otherwise live on my desktop. I don't blame you for your standards. I just bought 2 Ergotron LX tall pole mounts for my 24" and 27" monitors and built a riser so they can sit above the LG 34UC97 I just ordered.
Funny thing about specs, though. I'm waiting for Skylake processors, so I only just upgraded my GTX 480 to a GTX 980, and am still running my i7-950. I run Far Cry 4 on max settings with absolutely no problems and high frames. It's amazing how little your CPU is needed.
I personally wouldn't recommend a Hackintosh unless you are willing to learn a little bit on your own, or have a friend who can help out. The problems with a prebuilt machine from a random entity are:
This is obviously your decision, I just know from experience that I have had to extract data from my hackintosh, and reinstall everything because I managed to screw something up with an update. If I had purchased the computer it would have been frustrating to still end up doing al the work despite spending $300-400 extra to avoid it.
If you do go this route and want a monitor suggestion, I really love LG's 34UM95. It is a 34" 3440x1440 res monitor with great picture quality. You need to hook it up via display port or thunderbolt (this build has display port) to get the full res at 60hz, but it is definitely worth the money. I use mine with an ergotron LX monitor arm with the tall arm (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00689HXI4)
I use 2 Ergotron LX monitor arms, you can find them on Amazon, but they're not really cheap I would say... Link here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00689HXI4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm wondering if you can help me out here, I have a sizable 12" 300W polk subwoofer that I really love, but since moving into my latest apartment, I find I can never use it.
I live on the top floor with neighbors below that do not appreciate the room shaking. I put down about 2" of foam. 1" of carpet padding (had it sitting around) and 1" of foam from the inside of a pelican gun case. This didn't seem to mitigate the problem at all. Even at low levels the apartment still seemed to shake.
Would an isolation pad really solve this problem?
I've been tossing around the idea of suspending the subwoofer from the ceiling using a wooden platform and steel cable. I get this would transfer the vibration to the ceiling and rafters, but no one lives above me. I've found several forums where this worked great for people in apartments, I'm just waffling between suspending my giant sub or shelling out $60+ for an isolation pad. I am leaning toward suspending it because then it doesn't take up floor space and my cats cannot wreck my cone. Perhaps even suspending with a thin vibration pad.
Edit:
What of these? http://www.amazon.com/Adam-Hall-SPADECO2-Monitor-Isolation/dp/B007YFWUDO/
I wouldn't mind dropping $23 in case I cannot return them if they don't work, but they seem significantly cheaper than everything I've seen. Although the reviews are good.
if you don't want to move your speakers, in the meantime, you can always use isolation pads. I currently have the same speaker placement but the speakers rests on isolation pads. I don't listen to the speakers often as I rather use my headphones. But eventually I'll get some nicer bookshelf speakers + stands.

They're Adam Hall Isolation Pads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YFWUDO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When we purchased them back in February of 2014 we paid $22.79 and shipping was free. Ignoring the price increase, my girlfriend likes them a lot and would recommend them.
The monitors are HS8's as well. Not enough low end on the HS5's and the mids are different.
I bought something similar to this not sure if you need it or not.
BTW your setup looks clean and amazing, one thing I don't like is the XL mouse pad :)
Yep. I got these for my center speaker. Only used the skinnier half and used the thicker stuff for some bookshelves in my office. Gets the job done.
I had one, the top layer started peeling off at the bottom of the pad where my wrist was. Now I have one of these and I love it.
If the problem is the depth, check out the 2000XXL, its the same width, just about half as deep.
Edit: forgot an 'x' and link
https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-DX-2000XXL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IFXM
This one is the one I have... its availible in various sizes, plenty thick for daily gaming and minor cushion. It's pretty hardy and easy to clean in case you spill...
Overall dope pad for the price. Going 3-4 years strong still.
3mm is plenty. However if that's a deal breaker I get it, just an awesome price and product if you are not needing that extra 2mm of thickness which IMHO is too much. If you seek more cushion than 3mm an auxiliary wrist rest would better suit you and facilitate that overall comfort/ergonomics without having a extra heavy thick mousepad on the whole surface instead of just where its needed.
The other guy is incorrect. My mouse is a Razer Deathadder, and my mousepad is a Perixx DX-2000XXL. I just got the mouse pad a few weeks ago, and love it. For $20 it's the best mouse pad I've ever seen!
They sure are cushty bro, here you go (It's actually 300 tall not 400). Or just have a search for "extra large mouse mat"
I am looking at this ATM.

I bought this mouse mat a few months back. Wished I did it sooner. Highly recommend this one and use it alot for gaming. Had a Golthahus and sometimes ill even throw it on top cause its a smaller mouse pad.
Oh haha, that makes more sense.
This is the one - great for the price, it has braided edges, decently thick, and the surface is really nice. It's half the price of some bigger brands which don't even have the stitched edge.
it's this one
Someone already asked that question :)
But anyway it's a Perixx DX-2000 XXL
You can find it on amazon
There is the mousemat http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-DX-2000XXL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IFXM
As for the monitor arm it's no longer made or sold, but it is from a company called Brateck. You may be able to find something similar on Amazon.
I don't have experience with that exact one, but I have this one, which I paid $20 for in February, and I love it. Don't know why the price has gone up so much though.
Here on Amazon. I like it because the edges are stitched. It is really well made and has held up really well.
I was using a vertical stand for the last two weeks, 27 1440p bottom 24 1200p top. Hated every second of it and returned the stand/mount today.
looking at the top screen for more than a minute made my neck ache, which totally ruined it because I always use my secondary screen for video watching while the main is my workspace.
Additionally, every time I went for the title bar on a window, to close a tab or whatever, if I overshot the mouse even one pixel, the cursor ends up three inches higher than im looking. Having to mentally find my cursor again and again on a daily basis sucked, and telling windows to keep the monitors side by side was very unintuitive.
I am buying one of the two mounts next week, undecided which yet:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009S750LA
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4D395O
First one looks nice because you can precisely align the height of two monitors, second one gives much more flexibility in movement.
 
Regardless, I hated vertical.

I'm looking for a dual monitor mount. One that is fully adjustable. I would love some recommendations especially if you own an ASUS PG279Q.
What is the difference between this $60 VIVO mount versus this $190 Amazon Basics mount?
Are there any dual mounts that you have used that you would recommend as "best in class"?
Also I will be mounting an ASUS PG279Q and a 22" LG 1080p LED. I was wondering specifically about the PG279Q's recessed VESA mount. I have tried before to mount a PG279Q on what claimed to be a 100x100 VESA mount but ended up not fitting in the recessed mounting "dock thingy". Does anyone own a PG279Q that also uses a dual mount and can confirm that the mount fits inside the recessed VESA mount of the PG279Q?
Thanks
Thanks.

It's a 100mm x 100mm but it's recessed, so I can't guarantee it will work with every 100mm x 100mm mount out there. Im currently using it with [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4D395O/) arm, if that helps.
I think it's this one:

Not sure if they're even available anymore. The new ones have a stitched border so even though they are 48x40cm, you can't use the full size because that border stops your mouse. It's more like 43x35.
Also, it's expensive as fuck. $38 on Amazon.com and £50 on amazon.co.uk (LOL wat).
An alternative would be the QcK Heavy (£18) or the HyperX Fury Pro L (£17), both available on amazon.co.uk.

I currently have a large desk-size mousepad Glorious 3XL , but the mousepad I used when I played CS a lot with my ZA I just had a normal Zowie GS-R (Linked here ) Both work great, I'm sure you don't need a large 3XL that I use. A mousepad is also obviously just preference.
Oh thanks! The mousepad is a BenQ ZOWIE G-SR, I really like it
No problem. Here's the Amazon Page where it will be in stock soon as well.

The answer to this will not be the same for everyone. Ergonomics of each mouse will feel different for each person due to differing hand sizes, grip, etc. Personally I used to favor big mice with lots of buttons for RPGs and Mobas… such as a Naga and then a Logitech G502. But then I started getting into FPS games and wound up wanting something lighter/smaller and never looked back (currently use a Logitech G-Pro). I still use this for RPGs just fine.. the two buttons on the side plus mousewheel button are more than sufficient for me as those 3 buttons alone can account for 12 binds when you consider ctrl, shift, and alt modifiers should you choose to use them... then you have scroll up/down and modifiers for those as well, to me anything more than that is overkill since you can realistically fit all binds on a keyboard anyhow.
Edit for mousepads I prefer large ones, the one I've bought twice now has been this one,

I read a good review about black g-sr
after searching in Reddit everyone heat it :(
I posted right after my initial build. There were a lot of great suggestions so I made them and thought I'd post the progress.
Most churners should have thin card holder type wallets because we only carry our min spend cards on us. What everyone needs is one of those card holder books to store all the other crap at home once we're done with min spends.

What do you guys do to keep your cards organized? I was looking at something like this Business ID holder
The armrests on the my current chair had a lot to be desired also. I used this gel pad since its a nice 4" wide. They have 8" and 17.5" slim and thick versions. I just used 3M contact adhesive to mount them.

Wow, you're not wasting any time, are you :D. There's also a nice Glorious one, which fits the width of the G810 even better

This one is textile, I think, not leatherette.
I can't say for sure, I use a foam one with my GMMK full size and I like the feel of it. I haven't tried the wood one yet but I am interested.
There is a full size non "slim" model as well that is cheaper, which is what I have.

The solution that's best worked for me has been getting an [XXL mousepad] (https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-MM300-Anti-Fray-High-Performance-Optimized/dp/B0149QBQE4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521305622&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair%2Bmousepad&th=1) and two wrist rests. The two wrist rests essentially cover the entire width of my keyboard and mouse so my wrists are always on an elevated, padded surface. It's a bit overkill but I rarely have any wrist pain anymore.
Here's the Amazon page. http://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Gaming-Wrist-Pad-Rest/dp/B00V5AXPTW
>I decided I'd rather have one with MX-Blues or Browns
Browns and Blues are very different as they are tactile(browns) and clicky(Blues) not linear like reds, they are both pretty light switches as well, are you sure you don't want something slightly stiff like clears(tactile) or blacks(linear) because if you get browns or blues you might continue to accidentally holding down keys. .
>I want a full size keyboard, preferably tkl
Full size and tkl are different things, this is full size, and this is tkl
> I need it to be backlit
why?
>I want it to have a wrist rest like the corsair k-series does.
You can buy wrist rests separately for a low cost like this or this or even this if you need it to be 1337
A white LED keyboard with blue switches will cost between $100-$165 sadly.

Indeed, it does. Nice find.
Quick, I'd better find something wrong with it so I don't just buy it on impulse...
edit: actually found something, no VESA mounting -_- they still make monitors without that?! Still a great catch tho
edit 2: adapter for $32. Hmm.

Yes I love this setup
Yeah, I have a Dell S something or another that doesn't have VESA, but did have a solid metal mounting point for the stand, so I was able to buy this adapter in order to VESA mount it. The downside was that this adapter is not centered height wise and that it made for a very wobbly setup. I ended up ordering another ultrasharp to match my main monitor, which now I wish I would have just splurged for a 1440P monitor. I love my Ultrasharps, so I will be sad to see one get demoted to my wife's desk. The old Dell S something or another will get brought to my office, and I might give my friend my ViewSonic 22" 1080P to upgrade his 768p monitor that he runs with a 970 lol!
FYI- these work great.

These are the ones I used, I found them cheaper though on Ebay. I got two for $35 shipped.
Did you come up with a solution?
I would just get a dual arm vesa mount. I've bought a couple ones from Amazon with good results.
Edit: also, I didn't realize that there are adapters for mounting a lot of monitors without traditional vesa mounts. For example:

Its a bit cheap, but so far holding up alright. The stitching on the edges is definitely going to give soon. Not sure I can recommend it for the long term, but for

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Yeah, and I'm not saying that the Infensus is a bad pad simply because it doesn't get attention or because I can't find a review of it online. It may be a great pad that unfortunately doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I'm simply just the type of person that likes to be informed about a product as much as possible before purchasing it, by watching reviews and reading what people have to say about it. And that information is simply not available out there about the Infensus.
Also, quick question. You said that there is no reason cheap AliExpress pads would be any different from the current offerings of most gaming brands. So what you're saying is that basically a pad like this is basically just as good as most gaming pads out there, including Glorious pads?
A cheap 14€ amazon mousepad. Has the same quality of a Steelseries Qck+ https://www.amazon.de/Silent-Monsters-Gaming-Office-Mauspad/dp/B01FFFSORA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1492757453&sr=8-3

Sorry for being a bit late, got a little busy this weekend.
> I mainly listen to rnb and hip hop not a massive on any other genres if I'm being honest. Yes I will be in my own room on my own.
Okay, I forgot to ask. Since I am not a R&B or hip-hop listener. How much do you care about bass? If you do prefer a bass, do you like it to be more "punchy" or rather more subtle, but still "there"?
I've left the headphones out of my suggestion for now, because I need some feedback on this before I can recommend a pair of headphones.
> I already have a logitech c910 and was thinking of getting the c920 but from what I've read it really doesn't seem to be worth it?
The C910 is absolutely great. I also have this one for a long time now and still love it. Great quality and certainly good enough for most streamers. If you want to get a better webcam, I would advise to probably wait a little bit, as camera technology is still moving forward in rapid succession right now.
The C922 is actually already out now, which is the upgrade to the C920 and absolutely beats it hands down.

Anyway enough talking, let's get on with it!
I'll have to post all of this in replies to this message.

Buy this instead, it's cheaper and covers most of your desk
Tnx! It is this one (900x400x3mm) https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01FFFSORA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hello /r/mechanicalkeyboards,
seeing how I spend a lot of time at my computer to the point that the keys of my current keyboard are starting to deform and I am in a position to invest in long-lasting peripherals, I am on the hunt for my first mechanical keyboard.
In terms of size, I would like a 105-key full-size ISO layout. Since I use voice coms in which I would prefer not to sound like a machine gun while typing, I think MX Brown switches are the right choice for me, but feel free to suggest other options. I'm using a Silent Monsters Gaming and Office XXL mouse pad which so far has proven quite effective in dampening keyboard sounds, however I'm not quite sure how much it would help with a mechanical keyboard. In terms of use, I would say mostly typing/coding and occasional gaming.
So far so easy. Here comes the hard part: I live in Germany and I am using a Mac. Now, I know that Mac keyboards are not that different from Windows keyboards (except for the arrangement of OS-key/alt to both sides of the space bar, which can be mitigated both in hardware and in software, and the possibly dead key to the right of the space bar) but when I'm dropping serious cash on a keyboard, I would prefer not to make these kinds of compromises.
So far, I've looked at the following options:
Finding one with MX Brown switches is proving difficult, though.
Not quite sure how expensive shipping will be. Also, I'll probably have to fiddle around with Inkscape to tune the layout a bit.
I'd peg my budget at ≤150$ but if you present me with a compelling option, I might be willing to spend a bit more.
In terms of miscellaneous details, I'm rather flexible:
Sorry if this got a bit too long.
Edit: I went for a CODE 105-key full size, despite the rather high cost for me in Germany.
I do it regularly, maybe once a year, to get it cleaned properly and so far it hasn't changed a bit. For reference, this is my mousepad and by washing it I mean washing it manually in slightly warm water, not in a washing machine. After all, it's just a piece of fabric and rubber.
It's an item from the Italian store, sorry.

A little weird to set up but I like it. Really good for my 27"s

I found this - Mount-It! Triple Monitor Mount with USB Port, Height Adjustable 3 Monitor Arm Desk Stand for 24 27 30 32 Inch LED LCD Displays (MI-2753) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EVwCCb714VXX0
Seems like a lot of weight for one anchor point.
Those monitors don't look identical, but you MAY be able to flip all 3 vertical and create a DIY ultrawide situation. That would give you more horizontal desk space so the TV isn't so crowded.
This one has arms you can adjust, but only horizontally (and tilt), you couldn't change any heights.
Same story with this one, but arguably easier to ensure things are more aligned. (This is what I use for 2 monitors that aren't identical and it works well enough.)
This one would let you play with heights, but is 2x the price of the others for that reason.
This was me playing with the idea of 2 horizontal and 1 vertical.
I use this one in a side by side configuration with a 32" and 2 27" monitors on either side.
Sure, it's this one from MountIt
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_2bjXDbEFW9P3D
Looks like it got even cheaper than when I bought it.
I got this one from amazon.
https://www.amazon.ca/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Displays-MI-2753/dp/B06X9D7JWP
It says up to 32". I mount a 32 a two 24, and i don't see why I couldn't mount your setup. If they were all 34" I don't think the side arms would reach that far out, but two 27s should be no problem.
It is heavy dudy. I once had an old heavy 22" acer, the ones with the built in psu, and and it was able to hold it. It has adjustment for the weight of your monitor and cable management shrouds. The usb port is crap though I cut mine off.
This would probably solve your problem
My bad, I totally thought I linked it. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051 The only thing I can see are two..... holy shit they have VESA screw holes. Couldn't see them because they were filled with a rubber stopper. Oh man -.-
So they are 13' tall. Looks like around 11' tilted maybe 25-30 degrees. I'm kind of worried about the main monitor being too high ( I adjusted it up to about 9' off the table and my eyeline is right below the center of the monitor with my chair raised up.)
I been fooling around with different orientations and I think I'll just do two vertical monitors on each side instead. At about 8' up and the two monitors to the side it makes a flush, door-frame shaped п orientation. Which mount would you recommend for that? (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=triple+monitor+desk+mount&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_1)
Thanks a ton!
Edit: Looks like I'll have to go with this one for that setup? https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Displays-MI-2753/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=triple+monitor+desk+mount&qid=1554931481&s=electronics&sr=1-4
This?

This is the desk mounted set up I use for my three 27" monitors. https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Displays-MI-2753/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1526565101&sr=8-15&keywords=triple+monitor+desk+mount
This is the one I have. I drilled it down into my desk and it works well.

It’s a generic rgb extended mouse pad. I like it a lot, the razer one doesn’t like laying flat for the most part.
The ultra-large pads are just a huge play they are so nice, if rgbs your main thing I recommend this it still has the wire but its a lot less in the way of the mouse wire

Mouse Pad - Amazon
The mousepad? It's a fairly cheap one that my gf got me for X-mas.

It's really good quality for the price and the side connecting micro usb for power makes it easy to hide and route on the side of the desk.

I got this while it was a lightning deal. Not a high end brand or anything, but the purple lighting looks great with the rest of my set-up.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F0XHA5E/ref=psdc_705323011_t3_B0751B5MG6 similar size, just thinner and cheaper. i would buy the steelseries if i didnt have this one.

An i5-8600K with a good cooler on a good board, with a GTX 1080 Ti and in a not too big full tower, that also has a window. SSD + HDD, good models, also the psu is excellent.
For the peripherals:
There are of course a bunch of alternatives for those. I tried to go not too far over the budget, though it's a bit more than planned. Hope you like it, it's a nice high-end build.

Not for sale. :)
Another idea
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

a 1200 DPI mouse and a 9x12 mousepad can do wonders. it can also, depending on the material, be a good surface to place keys, coins or other stuff. help keep the desk scratch free.
I agree. They'll probably buy the absolute best monitor mount you can get. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4/
Which is $200
I recommend a credit card holder like this for sock drawer cards.
As far as the CSP, wait until the annual fee posts, then call to either cancel or PC it to a no annual fee card like the Chase Freedom or Chase Freedom Unlimited (both of which have ways to earn bonus points). The annual fee will be refunded if you PC within 30-41 days.
Also, if you don't have any other premium Chase cards such as CSR or CIP, then make sure you transfer out any UR to any transfer partners before getting rid of the CSP.
