Searching for Hardware-Shop in Phuket (Logitech...)

[Silktouch]

Good evening,

 

Im searching for a Hardware shop in Phuket.

I live in Rawai and want some stuff from Logitech an maybe some other things.

 

Yesterday I go to Banana IT in Chalong (HomePro), but they only have No-Name mice.

 

 

Thank you!

 

Regards

Some Logitech mice on the 2nd floor at Junq Ceylon (but only the lower end stuff).

[Silktouch]

Thank you, but sadly I need the higher end (2000 Baht up). :(

Generally there are three places to go to look for IT hardware in Phuket

 

1) Downstairs of the main BigC

2) Main Supercheap  IT department. I have not visited it after the rebuilding, is it any good now?

3) Small shops in town close by Royal Phuket city hotel http://goo.gl/maps/95mxB

    This is the road to look for more specialised shops.

There were several computer hardware shops on the bottom floor of the Big C out at Central Festival, but I haven't been out there lately. There's also an Office Max downstairs at Central Festival that may have them.

For sure the basement of BigC on the bypass road. At least 2 IT shops that have Logitech items.

That's a good suggestion. Free delivery and cash on delivery. I buy often from Lazada.

Very good selection and great service!  I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them.

Banana IT in Chalong (HomePro) got some gaming gear as Corsair gaming mice and some other gaming brand to, look to your right when you going inside, you find gaming keyboards and mice..

Thanks for all your replies!

Today I was in BigC - I bought one Logitech G500s for 2000 Baht there, perfect!

But now I need a new Headset and they dont have so many.

 

I wanna order at Lazada or Invade - but they have shipping times 8-10 days. Is this right? They need so long?

Now I ordered  (Lazada)

I keep you updated about the delivery.

As you got advices from the forum members, would you in return share knowledge of these devices.

 

The screen is obvious, but what difference does a quality mouse or keyboard do? What is the point when you start to see the difference from general no-name products?

 

 

 

[Silktouch]

I can tell you some difference between No Name and quality.

 

When you look at a No Name Gaming Mouse it have maximum 2400DPI ( I dont see more), my Logitech now have 8200DPI! - this is the main thing.

The handling is awesome, perfect fit my hand and I can change speed an so on the fly. The quality is a lot better then all no name products I ever have.

 

BUT - when you only surf a forum and not more, its wasted money, But in this point I suggest a Logitech mouse too, but not for 2000 baht and no gaming mouse.

With the Headset its same same, this Headset have 7.1 sound, perfect software, perfect micro, many adapters and it is Logitech quality. My no name headset from here have a really bad quality....

 

Btw. the Keyboard is noname, because I dont use it very often.

 

And the Monitor is really cheap, I only need a third full hd monitor with 24" :)

 

Cheers

Thanks Silktouch. I wanted to know where the better equipment matter and I guess it's while gaming. 

 

I'm very particular when it comes to keyboards. Everything has to be just right, therefore I understand if you are looking for a perfect mouse. I'd like to have one myself as well. Not for gaming, but for general usage. Therefore not the best avaiable, but something which would be enough.

Last week I ordered a Logitech bluetooth keyboard from Lazada. Ordered Saturday morning, arrived on my doorstep 11.00 on Monday. I order regularily from Lazada, typical 3 day delivery.

If you like your keyboards you may want to look into the difference between Cherry MX Blue, Red Black or Brown switches. There's other switches available but not as common (you may even know already) just throwing it out there.

If gaming is priority research N-key rollover vs X-key rollover, certain keyboard designs will ghost and not register more than a certain amount of keys pressed together, which is annoying sometimes for gaming.

 

Buying a decent gaming mouse today is almost non existent possibly except the G500 or a MS IE 5 button, most have bad tracking due to poor lazers, built in acceleration or die/fall apart quickly.  I bought a Steelseries Kana V2 29 days ago, loved the mouse while it was in its prime, today 1 day after return to shop warranty ran out the right button started sticking, my last MS mouse lasted 8 years of abuse.

 

@ OP , 2400 DPI is overkill never mind 8200 pointless IMO

 

I've gone all geek again sorry.
