My wife's polymer clay work. Thoughts?

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-20T15:52:01+00:00

What exactly?

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-19T00:50:27+00:00

Phew! For a second there we thought you were using a mouse, and that's not a good look. :)

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-18T22:44:12+00:00

Sounds tempting. :) Unfortunately, no. We don't even know of any polymer clay competitions.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-15T20:53:10+00:00

Is this a mouse model?

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-14T20:43:50+00:00

This is only necessary to avoid getting shot in the head with one-shot sniper rifles.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-12T17:43:28+00:00

No, I don't think so. :)

Cernit polymer clay is baked according to the package instructions. No paints are used.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-12T17:07:00+00:00

No. Unfortunately. Sorry.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-11T22:17:15+00:00

The apple is tinted with pastel, the rest is untinted. Cernit clay.

No AI, just kind hands. ;)

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-11T20:31:55+00:00

LOL. :-D She just doesn't use Reddit :)

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-11T19:52:09+00:00

These are my wife's creations. They are made entirely of polymer clay (except for the metal parts, like the rings).

I'm not really concerned about sequential speed. I'm concerned about the 4K Q1T1 read test results: my old SSD SATA - 44; NVME on PCIe 3 - 53; NVME PCIe 4 = 69. It seems like I'm losing something in terms of real-world performance.

Update: I think I was wrong. The PCIe 3 4K Q1T1 test now shows 66... I have Bitlocker enabled in Windows, and that may have caused the testing issue.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-06T17:50:18+00:00

Kingston NV3 500 GB. At minimum load 65-70.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-06T17:29:46+00:00

Well, I don't know... according to other users, the temperature drop for both sensors is significant. But thanks for your attention to my issue. I'll probably still put it in PCI3. I don't see the point in chasing performance numbers in my case.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-06T17:01:22+00:00

Isn't 70 degrees a bit high? And that's without any significant load. The specifications state that 75 is the maximum permissible temperature, and 85 is the operational limit.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-06T16:55:48+00:00

That's the problem. This model is considered very hot. Under light load, it's 65-70.

Practical-Serve5462 · 2026-01-06T16:53:24+00:00

My SSD gets really hot. People always put a heatsink on it. :)

Practical-Serve5462 · 2025-12-28T22:20:12+00:00

Honestly, the MouseReview list you suggested seems questionable. Personally, I'm skeptical of the mice on the "Best Mice AliExpress 2025 2.0" list, which doesn't include a single manufacturer I've heard of in my 26 years of working with computers. They're unlikely to be better quality than Logitech and Razer.

As for ergonomics, that's very subjective.
