Yea, right. Next thing we see is some odd looking PSP with thinkpad keyboard and 1080P IPS display running 64-bit EndeavourOS. :sweat_smile: :hugs:

Today I just received the fitting rear kit (Samsung SWA 8500S) to the soundbar I bought some days/weeks ago (mentioned that one earlier in the thread).

Now I’m trying to figure out how to correctly set up pipewire for 5.1 support. For this reason I went back using proprietary Nvidia driver (390xx).
Obviously pipewire is only set up for stereo.

I have the Intellimouse Pro in the current version a little over 3 months. The best Mouese I’ve ever had (including several Zowie’s). The current revision also finally fixed the problem with the rubber coming apart on the sides. The only thing that bothers me about this mouse is the Microsoft logo …

Hehe, this is what it looked like when I posted a post when I bought a cheap Windows 10 pro license key a while ago:

A bit of tape, or judicious scraping with a blade should cure the ‘appearance problem’ the mouse is afflicted with. At least the area it is in should not be felt or interfere with normal usage…

that said - I used Microsoft mice happily for quite a while - they worked well

I got myself another one in reserve.

I gotta admit, Microsoft did make some nice accessories. The best mousing device I ever used was the old Microsoft Trackball optical. Got it a couple years after my first computer, wouldn’t use anything else until they stopped making it and it died. Only switched back to mice because all the other trackballs I tried sucked. Still wish they’d bring this back with a moder USB interface but that full size trackball.
