Ye olde geeky blog

I've posted on this blog years ago about 7 Days to Die. Back then it was Alpha 8 I was talking about, and I already loved the game then. Well, the game has now launched.

After a few years they just start doing that. The solution is to replace the actual switch itself, but I don't have the know-how to do that, nor the patience, nor the access in dear old South Africa.  So yeah. I think the lesson has finally been learned! I now have a Razer Deathadder V2 Hyperspeed . And guess what! It doesn't double click when I'm not double clicking!!  Time will tell of course, but so far I'm lo...
