Awesome Gaming Laptop with Excellent performance
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my favorite gaming laptop. I have an Alienware desktop and another alienware laptop as well as as MSI. I got this spec - Intel Core i7-7820HK (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, 32GB DDR4 at 2400MHz (2x16GB); 256GB PCIe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s. Graphics card NVIDIA GTX 1080. I play Call of Duty modern warfare, Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Doom, Rage 2 and Wolfenstein 2 - all on highest settings. I play online using a 1 Gb fios connection, no lag at all.
It is a heavy laptop and it does get hot but I use a Cooler Master fan stand which I purchased to play on my bed. Only other complaint is not Blu ray / DvD drive, but almost no laptops come with cd-rom drives these days.
After 2 years it still runs Windows 10 very fast with no degradation in performance whatsoever.

Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. RAGE 2 brings together two studio powerhouses~Avalanche Studios, masters of open world insanity, and id Software, creators of the first-person shooter ~to deliver a carnival of carnage where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything.An asteroid has annihilated 80% of the earth~s population, and humanity~s numbers are dwindling. Ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs roam the open roads and the tyrannical Authority seek to rule with an iron fist. As Walker, the last Ranger of the wasteland and a threat to their power, you have been robbed of your home and left for dead. Now you~ll have to rage for justice and freedom. With ludicrous vehicle combat, super-powered first-person mayhem, and an open world full of emergent madness, you will tear across an unforgiving wasteland battling sadistic gangs to find the tools and tech needed to crush the oppressive rule of The Authority once and for all.

Rage 2 is an okay shooter, gets a bit repetitive
on July 17, 2019
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rage 2 is an an average open world shooter, it definitely gets a bit repetitive after about 12 hours of gameplay.
The combat is decent, but it's certainly not as smooth as Doom.
Driving the combat vehicles is really clunky, meaning the vehicles are not responsive also you can get stuck in rocky terrain which is annoying, sometimes you have to drive for a REALLY long time to arrive at your next mission but you can partake in mini missions along the way. You can get a decent FPS but I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. I feel like they could have made the game more fun by making missions easier and adding more weapons and upgrades. It gets just a bit too repetitive to be enjoyable. Although I do like using the wingstick boomerang to kill the baddies, that is the one fun feature!

KeyOne is a great phone with best keyboard ever!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Best Android 7.1.1 Nougat Phone with a physical keyboard on a smartphone. It is a great improvement on previous blackberries which only ran Blackberry OS. The keyboard is excellent for typing on. It is an Android phone and can use any Android app from the Google Play Store, but it also includes the Blackberry software with the old BBM etc. In addition to the physical keyboard, it is possible to have the virtual keyboard displayed so that there's always a choice. The display is crystal clear, and the Android build is very solid. Audio is decent quality, and the camera takes awesome pics. Wi-fi works well, and reception is good for voice phone call quality. It ig great for playing videos and streaming to a tv.
Vibrate is very strong indeed.
Opening too many applications does often result in a memory warning in which case you will need to close apps and restart the phone. That is the one flaw that I have found, perhaps I need to add a memory card.
Here is a hidden feature I found, if you run your fingers over the keyboard in a vertical motion from top to bottom, you can scroll up and down on a webpage!

The Rival 600 introduces gamers to an advanced dual-sensor system, TrueMove3+. The TrueMove3 optical sensor delivers true 1-to-1 tracking, while a dedicated optical depth sensor achieves very low and accurate lift off distance detection. Plus, custom center-of-gravity tuning with 256 weight configurations makes the Rival 600 a must-have for competitive gaming.

Rival 600 is a great gaming rgb mouse with weights
on December 22, 2018
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum

Verified Purchase:Yes
Rival 600 is an excellent gaming mouse, it has extra weights, it feels great with a rubber finish. It has cool sexy RGB colors which it cycles through.
I also use it for work and it is most efficient. I upgraded from a SteelSeries Sensei Wired Laser Gaming Mouse. Now that was also an excellent mouse too.
This Rival 600 has 8 x 4g weights if you like a bit of extra junky in your trunky. 16 g on each side.
32 grams is not that much of a difference to me but I do like the extra weight.
I play Doom, Wallenstein , Crysis 3 and Call of Duty and Battlefield.
I would say the aim is 10 x more precise than with any standard mouse that comes with desktops.
My favorite feature of the mouse is the chunky click wheel on top , it has a cool tyre track grooved which gives some rad traction action on your index finger.
As for complaints, I did drop the mouse and the sides come off as they are magnetic
and the weight do come out of place, to the degree where I lost one of the 4g weights. However the magnetic sides do plop back in to place like Tony Starks Iron man suit.
Added bonus i play in bed resting mouse on my sweatpants leg and its still super responsive.
Some complain about it having a rubber cable not a braided cable, its not a big deal.

MSI GS65 Laptop: Play your favorite games on this MSI Stealth gaming laptop. An Intel core i7 processor and 32GB of DDR4 RAM deliver seamless performance, while the 512GB solid-state drive provides adequate storage space. This MSI Stealth gaming laptop features a 15.6-inch Full HD display for immersive viewing and two Dynaudio speakers for quality sound.
 

Are MSI laptops reliable? I would like to keep this laptop at least 4 years.

I am using my MSI laptop for 5 years. After the Hard Disk gets full, I think the best thing is to Format the drives and Reinstall Windows 10 ,then it runs like brand new machine.

Is this a physical boxed PC copy? Or just a code?

They do send a physical box case however it does not contain a DVD-ROM, you have to redeem a Steam code / Bethesda game app and download the huge file online.

What's wrong with my mouse? When i plug it in Windows recognizes it, the mouse lights up, but my cursor won't move on my screen

The November 14th firmware (3.13.1) update accidentally caused major issues for some Rival 600 users. SteelSeries immediately pulled the update and identified the problem.
Here's how to fix it if you were one of the unlucky few:
How to recover:
Unplug any SteelSeries devices from your computer.
Hold left click + right click + CPI button and plug in your Rival 600 while holding them down.
The SteelSeries logo on the Rival 600 should start blinking blue. If not, unplug the mouse and try step 2 again.
Run the _UPDATE_APPLICATION.bat file to recover the mouse.

I saw this in the official steelseries page and saw that their mouse comes with a mousepad and what seems to be a place to hang your house. Does this come with those or just the mouse.

No. In the box you get the mouse, the cable and 8 x 4 gram weights. The mouse pad and holder must be extras that need to be purchased.

Is the weight adjustable?

Yes , there are 8 x 4 gram weights you can remove them one by one.
