With IEM I can't hear anyone unless I happen to see them.

its 7am and I just thought... odd, mum not up yet. I have been listening to music for a while, and I took IEM off to go wake mum just to find she already up and had come in and said good morning already but I hadn't noticed her... IEM put me in a little world with the music.

Could be I was trying to figure out an error

and I was busy posting a question about it on another forum.

lol. as usual when I ask a question, figured it out myself

None of these apply to me.

no regrets on current PC, I do have one for previous PC but no point crying over spilt milk. I bought too many fans but it was a learning curve

Another video where the only games anyone would think to play is a shooting game.

I don't regret having a nice looking system, I could have save money on all sorts of things but I got what I wanted. Cheaper air coolers but I like how mine looks and it doesn't obstruct my ram. Could have got cheaper ram (at time) and cheaper nvme but I value my data more than to use cheaper brands. Could have used a different motherboard as well. And case... basically I could have swapped almost everything if money was a concern at the time.

Same even applies to my screen.... I could even have it now if I had been happy with less.

Okay, I bought the Hedgehog MMO mouse. You win some, you lose some. This was a loss. This is the worst mouse I've ever used.

1) Joystick feature is useless to me because it's a base that has to be affixed wherever you are going to use your mouse, otherwise, the base just moves when you move the mouse. I wanted to try the joystick for occasional use, so this isn't going to work.

2) BIG problem is that the mouse is oddly wide and strangely shaped.

a) Designed to use your left click finger to the right of the mouse wheel: You have the option of using your left click finger to either the left or the right of the mouse wheel, but it was clearly designed with putting your finger to the right of the mouse wheel. When you do that, however, your thumb isn't really able to use the side buttons properly, which is the entire reason you would want an MMO mouse.

b) MAJOR PROBLEM. So when I tried moving my finger to it's normal spot to the left of the mouse wheel, not only did the mouse feel odd, but my finger naturally sat exactly in between the two left click buttons, so that I hit both left click buttons at the same time. This doesn't sound like a huge problem, but for some reason, when you hit both left click buttons, the result is a right click, so I was constantly right clicking when what I needed was a left click.

3) The mouse wheel felt good to me at first, but there is a small space between the wheel and the mouse on both ends, and it pinches my finger. It's the first time a mouse has ever caused me actual pain.

4) Because of the weird grip, I'm constantly pushing buttons on the side by accident.

I consider this literally and completely unusable. This makes every other mouse I've ever used feel like it was made by an other-worldly genius. If I were a PC Gamer reviewer and it wasn't against the rules, I would give this a zero. I appreciate that this guy tried to be innovative, but what he ended up with is complete garbage.

This isn't about setting my expectations too high. My expectations for a mouse made by some random dude are actually pretty low. I expected it to be functional. That's all. And it isn't even close to that. I would have been happier if this thing had been dead on arrival.
