Very happy with the audio quality, beats my Razer Krakens that died and the Logitech 918, looking at getting the standalone microphone for discord etc.

It's not to bad in the sound department, it does block out surrounding sound nicely though, but honestly the cheapy from Cash Crusaders was just as good for almost R100 less.

Nah they are different, the one from Cash Crusaders sounds better, is better made and just feels better. The Foxxray is alright, after using it quite a bit it's a bit flat in regards to some sounds.

If going back to May, this is all Wootware:
Second G502 mouse, wired.
Great mouse, would get again (I did.
). I'd suggest this mouse for larger hands if you use palm grip, also has great scrolling due to smooth scroll/scroll lock so nice if flipping through long files/code. The DPI settings button on it is also great for swapping sensitivity as needed (e.g. going to lower refresh rate screen, going from dragging files around to trying to be accurate selecting text, etc.).
Cooler Master MK-750
Very nice cherry brown keyboard. Picked it because of cherry brown and came with a wrist wrest that is completely detached, so for larger hands it means you can set it back further to rest on. Has some media play/skip buttons, also audio up/down via function keys. They key travel on all the keys is quite consistent, and can get up to full typing speed very quickly. The macro stuff are a gimmick since it's repeating text you've typed before, can only think one would do it for e.g. group chat stuff if there is spam control in a game to stop you copy-pasting. Would have been great if I could have bound actions to it, you can do so via AHK of course but that's all keyboard. The LED lighting on it is good.
This is with me coming from a Redragon K556.
AOC CQ27G2 27" WQHD (2560x1440) 144Hz 1ms VA
Sent it back, way too dark and if one set the brightness up there was noticeable ghosting.
Dell S3220DGF 32" WQHD (2560x1440) 165Hz 4ms VA
It's a great monitor, the curve is quite a bit to begin with, but you kind of get used to it quickly. I'd probably have had issues if I was still doing some media creation due to curve messing with straight lines, but I don't anymore so it's fine. Otherwise you don't really notice it and it is actually nice for immersion. I'd buy the 27" that came out a bit if I were to do it again, but this is definitely a great monitor. Very nice brightness, color accuracy is great, G-Sync support (which helps if <60fps for some stuff), and higher refresh rates are noticeable to me if scrolling through content and trying ot read things.
This is all takealot within the last two months:
Mecer 3000 KVA
It's good, just install the UPS Assistant from source forge instead of whatever it comes with. It's nice because you can run power directly from the wall without the fan spinning up, only kicks in with actual load. Can turn off the beeper via the UPS assistant. Lasts long enough to get a couple of hours of work done.
MACALLY Aluminium Stand for Notebooks
A nice stand, slightly high standing, but perfect for my desk. Would not get if you have a tall desk, but definitely nice for lower or middle height desks. 15" wootbook stands on it fine. Note: You'll need an external keyboard with this, this is for raising it, not for typing with it there.
If you want to have one you can raise/lower and type, look at: "Birch Ply Adjustable Laptop Stand" https://www.takealot.com/birch-ply-adjustable-laptop-stand/PLID55055737
Surge Air Stream Pump
Okay for the price, works as advertised for my bicycle, could get enough pressure on my tires. Came with a mount piece for the bicycle that I attached, so I take it with when riding.
Berlinger Haus Marble Coating Pan
Have been using it every other day for a bit over a month now, works fine, a lot cheaper than Teflon so thought I'd give it a try. So far I'd probably get another one considering the major price difference.
That's all the stuff I've directly gotten over the last few months that are interesting, there are a couple of others if including into end of last year, e.g. PXC 550 is definitely worth it on Amazon's Black Friday special (was $160). I wonder if they'll do it again this year. I'll probably keep an eye out on Garmin or Samsung Active 2/3 being on special.

Getting these tomorrows
I wear the grey soled Veldskoen pretty much every day, but just took the plunge and went for this natty red number to mix it up a bit. Absolutely love my Vellies, comfiest shoes ever and I reckon these will look great with jeans.
Good grief. Rip off cunts.

Yeah, but no one should be dumb enough to buy from Makro's online store.
I've just heard bad things.
The SO ordered from them and had no issue.

I accidentally got the wrong coffee pods for my machine. Didn't realise there is a Nespresso Dolche Gusto. The rest of my order is fine expect the one box. So I logged a return. Guess what, they don't want it back, will credit me anyway. Similar to Amazon, not worth collecting.
@Spizz can you use these or know someone with this machine? It's decaf though.
