You are being dense if you don’t think “a grain of salt” is used to describe something very small.

It's not about being huge or not, it's about relative size.
Table salt had tiny, sub millimeter grains, while rock said has huge, in comparison, grains.
When you're taking about possibly hundreds of times more volume, that does make a huge difference.

What is granule size of salt?
1-6 mm
Do you think 6 mm is large? Get out of here!

No they're not, there is a huge difference in size depending on the "type" of salt.

A grain, it says so in the title. All grains of salt are relatively the same size, and they are SMALL!

I find it funny that the G13's 2013 MSRP of $79.99 seems like a STEAL in today's market

if I had that kind of disposable income I would ABSOLUTELY try it out! Should I stumble into one someday I'll try to report back.

But what kind of salt? Fine salt? Kosher salt? Rock salt? A slab of salt?

A little pricy for something that looks that odd. I could see that either being super comfortable ... or super annoying because of all the missclicks i feel like i would hit.
But if you happen to try it and like it, please let me know!

oh yeah they bind to whatever you want, but either way it's a keyboard key so it's only slightly better
the only one i've seen with a true analog stick was the Logitech G13 ... but they don't make them anymore, maybe ebay?

Dropping packages from 300 feet would explain some of the damage I’ve seen from UPS deliveries. They must have this tech already.

I'm pretty sure the Tartarus stick is digital and maps to the arrow keys. Sad face. Thank you, though!

Kinda neat. I've seen one of their buildings before but didn't realize what they did.

it's good, but as with all things razor, the build is cheap. I'm on my 3rd one and this one has some drift from time to time. Cleaning it with some contact cleaner usually fixed it right up. But i don't think they make them anymore. But they do have something similar called the Tartus i think, I used to have that one as well. I like them both, but ideally i would like one with a legit thumbstick.

All I want is a mouse-based gaming setup with an analog thumbstick to move around.
My example motivation is Cyberpunk 2077, where WASD works fine until you get in a vehicle, at which point a stick is so much better but apparently this is a weird stance to take.
How's the Orbweaver for you? Clearly you like it if you admit to it on the internet

They already did attach a bank of solar cells...
Look at the photo, to the right of the display to see the solar panel.

You are the sense one here.
First, your failed to see that it was clearly a joke, for fucks sake, I'm taking about kosher salt in that first reply to the post, but that doesn't change the fact that salt, regular salt that everyone has access to, comes in very different "sizes", and when taking about electronics miniaturization, one order of magnitude of a difference in size is a veeery significant difference, and when comparing a grain of table salt and a large grain of rock salt, we're taking about more than just one order of magnitude.
