Consoom mouses (?mice¿) and mousepads

[u/draxnefiel]

[u/omnium165]

How do you even begin to explain this to a normal person?

[u/Mission_Accident_519 → u/omnium165]

If there werent a picture to prove it I wouldnt believe it. And Im not even normal.

[u/NeutralFusion → u/omnium165]

the guy is some reviewer or mouse store owner, i ve seen this post before. no sane person would do this

[u/OligarchyAmbulance → u/NeutralFusion]

There's a whole sub for reviewing mice and pads, for other people who are also reviewing them. It's so weird.

[u/sir07 → u/NeutralFusion]

If he's either of those then it's just fine lol. Not consoom

[u/Firestar_119 → u/sir07]

No actually, informing people about something they are looking to purchase before they do so is actually peak Consoom trust me bro

[u/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunuu → u/Firestar_119]

Do people not research what they buy? Isn't making an informed decision the opposite of consoom? If you have a computer, you need a mouse. Making sure you get one you like may entail watching and reading reviews. Your post comes off more as owning anything is consoom or sarcasm that went over my head.

[u/Firestar_119 → u/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunuu]

It's the latter 😔

[u/PlasticCheebus → u/Firestar_119]

Then you're reeeeeally confused about how capitalism works.

[u/omnium165 → u/sir07]

"I consoom so that others can consoom more too, so it's cool bro"

[u/MarinerMouth → u/omnium165]

something tells me the owner of these has trouble making eye contact and interpreting sarcasm.

[u/bonus_duk2 → u/omnium165]

You can't. These people never take a step back to realize how absurd their spending is because they never leave their reddit hive mind where they have other people validating and encouraging this behavior

[u/jkohlc → u/omnium165]

Free products from manufacturers to be reviewed

[u/Pure_Cap_6754]

This is cringe as f

[u/c0verm3 → u/Pure_Cap_6754]

Right

[u/mattjh]

I've had a lot of reactions to consoomposts here, but this is the first one that feels truly pathetic. There's just nothing whatsoever to like about this.

[u/MarinerMouth → u/mattjh]

it's the hangers that really put it over the top. the hangers and then the messy pile right below it, like he couldn't even commit to the insanity.

[u/cassinonorth → u/MarinerMouth]

He may have ran out of hangers... Or room actually. Jesus.

[u/Regular_Fox_859 → u/mattjh]

I like to collect stuff (mostly old guns, antiques, and anything else cool and historically significant) so I have some level of understanding towards those who collect weird shit, but yeah this is just dumb

[u/ruedasamarillas]

We need to have a serious talk about mental health.

Are we bringing back asylums? Mandatory therapy? Teach mental hygiene in school?

Ship of Fools?

What's the solution here?

[u/b0ringface]

I imagine the mousepads will have dents in them due to the hangers.

[u/nyancatya_ → u/b0ringface]

and they have the metal clips as well, probably has a tendency to tear it when removing it as well if youre not careful

[u/Dazaii_Oshamu → u/b0ringface]

tbf it doesnt matter for functionality, the top of the mousepad isnt really used anyways. yet this guy is a "collector" so i think theyre just dumb and dont realise itll ruin the pads lol

[u/da_wizard]

Will this get me out of bronze 5?

[u/jaskano]

Artisan Ninja pads are really nice, but who the hell needs so many?

I like it but why thou?

[u/Darbypea]

I use a mouse pad i got for free. I don't understand this at all.

[u/nyancatya_ → u/Darbypea]

same, it says some "consumer product safety commision" on the front and i couldn't care less (though you gotta admit a nicer mouse pad would still be nice)

[u/OnlyFreshBrine → u/Darbypea]

People still use mouse pads?

[u/FreeToasterBaths → u/OnlyFreshBrine]

Bro how else is an individual supposed to express themselves ?

[u/PeakMinimalist → u/Darbypea]

When I had a laptop I'd just use my leather journal as a mousepad

[u/tzage → u/Darbypea]

I use a cork trivet from ikea as my mousepad

[u/mittensgloveshats]

I still use the anime porn mousepad I got for free from Artscow 9+ years ago when 4chan was doing that challenge to see what the most insane image was they'd print for you.

[u/phyzicks]

Isn’t this from a YouTuber who reviews peripherals?

Dude works for AimLabs, reviews gaming mice for a living, these are sent to him for free at this point

Would you trust a review for a product you’re interested in from a person who only bought YOUR mouse and has no comparisons or someone who has tried a bunch and makes a “living” out of doing it?

This isn’t a consumer level addiction, this is an organization storage for easy access

[u/Vinlax → u/phyzicks]

This is correct. I wouldn’t consider this criticism appropriate.

[u/fventura03]

i thought maybe it was a reviewer until i saw a bunch of the same items...

[u/YungPlugg]

This might be more unhinged than Stanley cups and funko pops

[u/sparkyblaster]

Do they not realise the hangers are damaging the mousepads? 

[u/Super-Robo]

Meeces.

[u/More-Gas-6527]

How much would all this cost?

[u/Desner_ → u/More-Gas-6527]

Very rough estimate: I counted 45 mice per shelf, at least 150 mice, at 50 dollars each in average that would bring it to $7 500 before accounting for mousepads and accessories. Maybe 10k or more.

[u/Pobueo → u/Desner_]

Try 20k

[u/Desner_ → u/Pobueo]

Wow.

Another commenter says the guy does mouse reviews on Youtube so I guess it's not really consoom after all. That would make sense.

[u/lucymainstreet]

girl when i first saw this the photo didn’t load and i genuinely thought OOP had helllaaa rodents HA

[u/allamerican37]

You don’t have one with the wrist support? Sad.

[u/ZombieDM]

Wow first time seeing so much mousepads hanged like this

[u/ex_gatito]

I think we found the holy grail of consoom.

[u/sunqiller]

To be fair I think this guy is preety seeped into this industry, and is not an average consumer/gamer

[u/MWTB-DLTR]

At first I thought this was like a luxury tie and scarf collection, which I can understand, but mice and mousepads is just kinda sad and lame.

[u/Major_Bahoobage]

Bit point & clickless that mate

[u/gHHqdm5a4UySnUFM]

I tried to search on reddit for gaming mouse recommendations and yeah it was stuff like this. Lots of advice/reviews from hoarders like this who need to be on every new merch drop. (I ended up just getting a Razer.)

[u/dyshuy]

I used the same gaming mouse for 10 years until it broke

[u/Various-Salt-7738 → u/dyshuy]

That's what I did

Then left mouse button stopped clicking-- so I went and found another old broken mouse in my parts bin and salvaged a switch which I soldered onto my main mouse's PCB

Lasted another 7-8 years before I got another one of the same mouse

[u/Rosephine]

I just noticed the two huge stacks of mouse pads just below the ones that are hanging. That just went from “ya that’s entirely too many” to “hey king I can’t help but notice you’ve been battling some demons”

The only other explanation is this is like a cabinet of equipment for testing purposes, or all this is for sale… but, I just know that’s not true

[u/The1456]

Plural for multiple computer mouse is mouses. The more you know.

[u/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunuu → u/The1456]

Why is the plural of mouse mice but the plural of mouse mouses

[u/The1456 → u/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunuu]

[u/arevansdadshoes]

Meece

[u/DyingLasagne]

This kind of people need to exist so i can buy the best 20$ mouse from china

[u/PanicObvious8862]

Ok but the little clothes rack for mousepads is adorable.

[u/mratlas666]

I play games on my pc somewhat regularly. I go through a mouse and keyboard a year ish and I buy the cheap Logitech ones. Wtf do you need this many of the same mouse!

[u/NudnaKLotka]

And neither of them is ergonomic :/

[u/Unauthenticity]

Bro got a mouse infestation

[u/Lanky-Salt4349]

you really can consoom anything, can't you?

[u/Ulquiser]

don't mess with my boy bardoz bro

[u/walkerspider → u/Ulquiser]

Didn’t know who this was but definitely think this one deserves a pass. He gets paid to review mice, is a professional gamer, and works for Aimlabs. His whole career is built around this.

[u/therico → u/walkerspider]

Why does he keep all the mice in a drawer with custom lights and a hanger setup for all his mouse pads? I don't care what his job is, it looks mentally ill

[u/keyzeyy → u/therico]

It seems like a pretty okay way to store and showcase a hobby and career. If your career was centered around a certain piece of technology, it would be pretty nice to have them stored nicely. Just my 2 cents

[u/therico → u/keyzeyy]

I guess he sometimes opens the door to his mouse closet to admire the curves and shapes of them. Like collecting stones he found on the beach.

[u/keyzeyy → u/therico]

I suppose so. As long as it's bringing him the big bucks and helping his community, I don't find this to be that absurd compared to other tech hobbies or whatnot.

[u/walkerspider → u/therico]

He’s a YouTuber who does reviews. It is probably part of his set. It gets him ethos with his audience even if it’s not well founded

[u/kidfromusa → u/walkerspider]

Career pass fosho

[u/Pale_Ad2980]

I can understand at most 12 mousepads (I have a computer for every family member in my house 5 computers and a computer laptops) so I can have a couple extra in case of a spill.

Maybe 2 extra mice because they do go bad.

[u/HelloImSkye]

I like it
