I'm not clear on what that does exactly, nor do I know if there's a use I have for one, but I feel that I probably need one.

 

I wanted it for many reasons. Firstly it's probably my favourite thriller movie ever. Secondly its sound was done by a company called Cerwin Vega, who I used to liase with very closely in the 90s. They invented the first surround system called "Sensurround" and it was used in this movie and others, like Earthquake etc. So yeah a bit of an emotional attachment there, so when a proper original Cali cinema bill poster came up I jumped on it. It was quite affordable, but the postage cost more than the item. Now I need to frame it, but would rather have it in hand and measure it first. Will take pride of place in my hallway /70s child.

One of these from the marketplace. Best money I ever spent on a peripheral.

 

I think you'd somehow need a damned good reason to have this while getting it home - can't see yer average Plod not thinkin' yer goin' somewhere tooled up to do somebody a bit o' damidge...!

 

Love my K-70 LUX w/ 'browns'...

 

For me I never use the number pad so the K65 is perfect!

 

I remember seeing that movie (and Earthquake) in glorious sensurround in the 70's, St James' theatre in Wellington, NZ. Can't recall much of the plots but the shaking and rattling were awesome. Of course, I had nightmares after earthquake but that just cos earthquakes in NZ are too real for a movie to even come close to.

 

Weirdly mine went down over £120 this year without even asking!
Disclosure: Ancient driver (54) in very small car (VW Up)

 

Can confirm. Added my then-girlfriend as a named driver on my car long-long ago, when not only was her license green, she had no idea whatsoever how to drive, knocked ~30% off.

 

Sounds great, I have an original K65 in my LAN rig kit, as it drops into a bag with the rodent and headphones so easily, and most importantly leaves room for a packet of biscuits!
Reds work for me, and I like the solid alu base and 'floating' keys.
The only thing more I'd want, would be illuminated keys. Not needing clever RGBness, just lit up sometimes; so no need to change just now.

 

I have mine set to backlight white but with a red ripple effect on key press. I like it!

 

When I was a kid it used to scare me to death. It's kinda like Jaws but theme parks.

As I grew older I started to understand it more. It's a psychological game of cat and mouse.

Still holds up today, aside from the coaster crash as you can tell they're dummies but yeah, still scares me every time I see it.

Sensurround was nuts. They used to literally just surround the everything with B36 folded horn subwoofers with 18" "elephant stroker" drivers in them.

I heard that my pal who worked there had passed away a few years back. I was very sad. I can still hear him laughing now.

 

D'know what I don't get with car insurance - now have a baby, so naturally check the "do you have any children under 16" box, assuming that implies I will be driving MORE CAREFULLY, because you know, i'll have a child in the car... Premium increased.

 

Was my fave console version. The speed and graphics were the closest to the arcade. Shame it sounded like they all had a mouthful of corn flakes but ho hum.

Have you seen the mini stack? Comes with the mini, a sega cd mini and 32x. No price as of now but God I bet it's expensive!

 

Why? Just get busy with the wife again.

 

They call it the tower. I bet it's much costly.
