My 80cm wide mouse mat has arrived.

Now I can move my mouse as far to the right as I want.  Then I can move it some more.  And them some more.  I NEVER run out of mouse mat.

HA!
Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?

Not getting one of those. They make too much noise.

They're not for everyone. You can get versions with silent switches though, but keep the feeling overall. Emma prefers flat laptop style keyboards because they don't have a lot of travel.

The small one I have with o-rings isn't particularly noisy at all, and keeps that satisfying experience.

:D

I usually go to bed before Kayleigh, and now I can definitely hear when she uses her keyboard.

Same with Emma - she knows if I'm arguing with someone online now, because my keyboard gets quite loud on those occasions  :lol1:

Glad she enjoys it though :)

Heheh, Kayleigh gets verbose on Twitter and I can tell when she's making a series of posts.

Yep, she loves it and couldn't believe that I bought it for her. My new job certainly helped in that regard.

A thrustmaster T16000m HOTAS - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 looks amazing and I want to try it out, along with getting back into Elite Dangerous.

Used to have a saitek X52, but sold it due to work getting in the way. Was going to get its bigger brother, the X56, but it's nowhere in stock and won't be available again for months.

What kind?

For the longest time, I went to ebay for spares to our old one, but once I realised ours could fail me in the morning I stopped and got us a new one.

A Keurig. I was going to switch to a different one until the oldest told me that on his last grocery shopping day he stocked up on enough coffee pods to last him months because he was scared with the second wave he may not have access to coffee  :laugh: So I had to get another Keurig.

If the second wave hits and we run out of coffee, the world is officially ending.
