ec changed the topic of #elliottcable to: a 𝕯𝖊𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝕯𝖊𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖉 𝕯𝖆𝖒𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖘 slash s͔̞u͕͙p͙͓e̜̺r̼̦i̼̜o̖̬r̙̙ c̝͉ụ̧͘ḷ̡͙ţ͓̀ || #ELLIOTTCABLE is not about ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
holy shit, amazon's new(?) AR feature is so fucking useful
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
can really get a feel for the size/shape/fit of something.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
probably gotta open it in the iPhone app ‘course

I have a (broken 😡) evoluent verticalMouse C with gold chrome
<jfhbrook>
I bought insurance but lost the paperwork -_-;
<jfhbrook>
so now I have a, uh, anker, version of the same idea, but its tracking is shitty so I have to print out a paper trackpad every few months
<jfhbrook>
my life >_<
<jfhbrook>
how's that sideways-assed keyboard working out for your ELLIOTTCABLE ?
<joepie91>
jfhbrook: what surface are you using it on
<jfhbrook>
joepie91: a surface that is obviously bad for tracking, it's like this matte black plastic pad?
<jfhbrook>
that came with the desk?
<jfhbrook>
I had a logitech on there for a minute that was doing pretty good
<joepie91>
jfhbrook: ah, not sure how the vertical mouse I had would work on that
<joepie91>
well, have
<joepie91>
but using a rollermouse now
<jfhbrook>
gotcha--yeah tbf the verticalMouse broke during the move from 419 Lafayette to 2 W 17th
<jfhbrook>
I hear 419 is a much better place now
<joepie91>
jfhbrook: Delux M618 is the one I used, and it's a laser mouse, but something seems off in how the sensor is positioned because it fares poorly on some surfaces
<joepie91>
works fine on a mousepad though
<jfhbrook>
yeah
<joepie91>
also works fine on some glossy surfaces
<joepie91>
seems something to do with distance
<jfhbrook>
I like the form factor of the anker mouse and the price was really good
<joepie91>
how good is good?
<jfhbrook>
like it was at an anker price already and then a kinja deal was slapped on top of it
<jfhbrook>
iirc like 12 bucks
<joepie91>
ah yeah, that's cheaper than the M618 :P
<joepie91>
15 EUR or so is the cheapest I've seen it?
<jfhbrook>
yeah I might be misremembering, but it was on work's sales/bargains site
<joepie91>
jfhbrook: but yeah, M618 may be worth a bet if you want to get rid of your paper trackpad
<joepie91>
I don't know what specifically makes it work or fail though
<jfhbrook>
and anker is a fave of theirs cause their shit is already cheap, it's literally some nerd realizing he could undercut everyone by moving to like shenzhen or whatever
<joepie91>
for me it was "this is cheap enough to not care if it doesn't work" :P
<joepie91>
right
<joepie91>
hm, I should sleep
<jfhbrook>
