Other info:

Currently I am using iiNet as my Internet Service Provider. I have always had problems with high ping in computer games, and don't know why. I am lead to believe that iiNet is not at fault however, as other people in the same city with the same provider do not have my problem.

Vertical Mouse

An excellent product, but the original one I purchased has a design flaw. The rubber paint on button 3 was peeling off. Fortunately they replaced the mouse free of charge. You can see the damage here:

Unfortunately, the replacement is now beginning to suffer the same problem. However it appears to have been given a double layer of the rubber paint, and so far only the top paint has worn off.
