    Hey Guys,
    Just bought a new laptop and I'm looking for some shiny things to add to my laptop :p

    Mice (I like really large mice)
    Keyboard (Alternatives to g19)
    Fans (USB Personal & Laptop Cooling)

    Anything Cool :p, I'm hoping to make a complete desktop alternative area and just need a few idea's. Some kind of multi function docking station thing would be awesome :p

    Thanks :D

    Depending on the kind of laptop you bought, I would recommend this for a 15.6" and this for a 17.1" - I am using the 15.6" Backpack for my laptop which is a 15.4" so yes, I have experience with this. I almost bought the 17.1" but that was way more than I needed.

    I have the Orion Messenger Bag. It's a quite the nice bag. My friend has the backpack and loves it.

    They are actually on E-Bay for way cheaper than they are on Staples, I just happened to get mine from that specific retail store. The 15.6" was on E-Bay for about $75 and the 17.1" was on E-Bay for $69.99

    Try this, free shipping to the UK and the backpack is only £36.33, not bad if you ask me but you might have to wait, although when I checked his purchase history, those 5 people that bought one were satisfied, the guy bought one on April 4th and left a 5-star review on the 16th, so that's about your window of delivery I guess.

    I use a G5 (Now known as G500) and G700 and some would consider these fairly large mice. Plus if it's weight you're after the G500 has customizable weight. I find these mice just the right size to fit my hand nicely. I extremely dislike your average mouse now as I find it far to small.

    Also with some of the posts here it seems the Razer Deathadder is a large mouse as well. I can't confirm this though as I've never owned or seen one outside the packaging.
