Yesterday was Markus’ 24th birthday! He didn’t have a very good birthday though – it started with a dentist appointment and a cold so he wasn’t all that happy. Me and a friend took him out for lunch but because of his sore throat he could only eat a bowl of soup. Doesn’t help that he’s a man either… we all know men get when they get sick, don’t we? ;) Poor thing.
Anyway, I’ll take him out to celebrate when he feels better…
Now I want to show you two of his presents:
It’s a Saitek Cyborg gaming keyboard + a Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse.
The keyboard has some cool backlights in different colours and lots of extra buttons to use for custom functions and macros. The mouse is 100% customizable, you can program the buttons, change the shape with different bits and pieces and you can even control its weight.
I’m not much of a gamer, or at least I don’t play many games that requires special macros and such, so I haven’t tried the special button functions. I like the look of it all though. The mouse is my favourite – I’m almost afraid to touch it (it looks ferocious, like it might bite) but I love how heavy I can make it and the various ergonomic support pads make it really easy to handle. Despite its appearance it fits the hand perfectly!
Markus says he loves both of them :) They are pretty cool, non?
Also, we had cake. I made it. Inside it’s filled with chocolate :P
Tell him Happy Birthday from me also, though it is a day late. Cool presents! I am like you, don’t play much games that require anything more then simple mouse moves & clicks, lol.
Optimus, is that you?
Haha XD
That’s great that your boyfriend likes his gift. I find it so hard to buy for men. I should probably start thinking of gift ideas soon. I have to get my b/f a Christmas gift AND a birthday gift. At the same time. So annoying lol.
Your cake looks yummy!
That keyboard is pretty cool. I have a glowing keyboard too but it’s a different one.
The cake looks so colourful and fun! I also approve of the bananas. I love bananas!
Bananas = :love:
Aw, poor thing. Sucks to be sick on one’s birthday! Boss keyboard though!
Mmmm… cake. I want to see (and eat) the inside of it.
I was going to take a picture of it when sliced, but we kinda… ate it :oops:
That mouse looks insane! It is kind of scary!
Although the highlight of this post is definitely the cake. Cake is the highlight of LIFE, to be fair. And that’s a chocolate cake that doesn’t look like a chocolate cake, so it’s like the ultimate cakey surprise. So jealous.
omg that cake looks so good, I’d kill to have a slice right now.
I am not much of a gaming-technology person; but this keyboard and especially they mouse look SO awesome!! Hope he feels better now (men whine a lot when sick V_V;)
p.s yes it was a tiny pucca mug on the shelf ^^
