I mean, I've had bad hardware before. A Razer mouse I had would often lock up and the mouse pointer would only go in horizontal directions (great fun when you're in the middle of an online game! >.<). Or it just wouldn't work at all. It was also supposed to be a wireless mouse, but I gave up doing that and always had it plugged in when the internal battery couldn't hold a charge for the life of it.

However, the Razer keyboard I had was even worse and was something that could cause even Satan to shiver. The firmware in that thing was so bad that it was responsible for giving me blue screens of death. From a keyboard! Also, that too would lock up while I was in the middle of typing a report or essay for my grad school classes and I would get an endless character string of "eeeeee" or "jjjjjjjjj" and the only way to stop it was unplug it and plug it back in. And doing that often caused the blue screen of death. On top of all of that, the black paint on the keys was peeling off only after a few months of use, so the letters were getting rubbed out and were turning into just glowing blobs (it was one of those illuminated keyboards). I just threw both the keyboard and the mouse in the trash and vowed never to buy Razer junk again. Instead, I go Logitech for peripheral devices. So much better and so much cheaper! It may not look as fancy or whatever, but heck, I'd WAY rather take something that does the job that it's supposed to do over something that may look cool but functions like it's demonically possessed.

My older computer also had a bad motherboard. Lots of blue screens of death from that thing. I don't miss that old computer, as it could barely handle Fallout 3 on the lowest graphic settings (which makes everything look like glossy, pale-colored play-doh!). I then just splurged and got a completely new computer from Cyberpower and it's been great, but now it's starting to show it's age with some of the newer games like XCOM2 and Fallout 4. It's a shame you haven't had as good of an experience with them, because I was pretty satisfied with what I got.
Yup, Logitech is what all of my wireless devices are for my laptop. It's just a small wireless mouse, but it's efficient and gets the job done with no issues. Wow, those issues reminded me of one of the other issues I had with my first laptop when it started to fall apart. I only used the touchpad with it for years (I'm talking like I used laptop touchpads ONLY until around 2010). So my first every laptop started messing up on the touchpad. It would do rapid bursts of autoclicking for now reason. It, itself would click things and in a rapid succession. So that was super risky doing anything only. Random ads could be clicked, something random could be downloaded or start up without me wanting to. Ugh, I'm glad my grandfather fixed it, but it cost me everything on my hard drive back then. Some of the ways these things are run are just terrible. Glad to know I should stay away from Razor now o.o

It's weird. Everyone else who got something from CyberPower has had great results. So I was excited to get mine.....NOPE. Couldn't have wish more I never got it. It started fast, ran fast, but the graphics card stopped working about a week in and stopped displaying games.....and the awful feature that was that audio had to load for each and every video I ever loaded somewhere. Even if I took the timer back to the start after it loaded....it had to load again. So I would never have heard the first 3-7 seconds of any video. Meanwhile you had a good experience and my best friend did, which is why he recommended them to me. Heh, they even tried their best to prevent me from returning it and getting my money back. It was terrible customer service.

Hopefully all of this with MSI gets sorted out soon and ends this curse.
