I've done this twice in the last 10 years and still have a spare in cardboard bubblewrap. They go bad every few years and need to be replaced. They're still fairly cheap, so you may as well buy 2. The fun part comes when you go to pay for them. Take one and put it on the counter and ask the cashier what she calls this (while pointing at the mouse and holding the other one up in the air). She'll say "A mouse". Then put the other one down and in a conspiratorial tone, ask her what she calls THESE. Both times the cashier has said "Mice". hahaha WRONG! That's when you raise your index finger and sweep it across your face, lean in, and using your best voice of wisdom, say "Mouses".

I thought it was funny, but people in Pennsylvania don't seem to get my humor. They threw me out of Philly when I was working for the Administrative Office / Penn Court System just for sending some nigger jokes by email. No great loss. Fuck em.

I forget. That was a long time ago, I think it had something to do with mouses, tho.

Where do you shop? Last time I did that I bought a half-dozen of the ones I like at Micro Center. Guy just looked at me and goes, yeah, these are a pretty good deal right now, getting some spares?

You know it brother.

Both times was at Office Depot. I think they still sell them for around 10 bucks. Cheap. (I mean as in price. I wasn't making bird noises at you).

I wasn't making bird noises at you

That's good, because that wasn't very nice if it was bird noises.

Reminds me of a quote from the movie Contact:

"First rule of government spending: why buy one when you can buy two at twice the price?"

I do this when i competitively play counter strike on esea or faceit. Nothing losing worse than losing b/c of mechanical failure. It's a muscle memory and mental training thing for precision.

You make a good point. I would say that if you find one you really like. Buy 4 after that. You know that for some stupid reason they will stop being made and sometimes you end up with one that is worth hundreds of dollars that you will probably never use. I have 2 of those that need a refurb when I have time that would sell for over $100 each for some reason.

I been using my best one for many years now, and when I bought one for another comp it was half the size. I got big hands, couldnt find the same one anymore.

$15 logitechs aren't good enough for me. I need the 12k DPI, because fuck having to use the whole mouse pad to get the cursor across my screens.
