Killsion posted:I absolutely adore my Logitech Trackman Marble trackball. I can't even use anything else at this point since I've used it for upwards of 15 years now. Despite that, the lack of something like a wheel is endlessly frustrating, so I've been looking into higher quality "gaming" trackballs, but none of them really seem to have the feel of the Trackman Marble. I have seen this recommended in the past, but the shape really puts me off even trying it. It just does not look nearly as comfortable as the Trackman Marble to me. I just really wish Logitech would upgrade the basic design and give it more utility. It's a bit larger than you might be imagining. My wrist rests on the curved bit. Unlike smaller trackballs, you don't grip this one at all. I do have a scroll wheel solution, though. It's an auto hotkey script I dug up. I can post it later tonight. The way it works is you hold any button and move the cursor up or down, and it acts like a scroll wheel.

Is there a good replacement for the Logitech G9x yet or do I still need to pay 100+ dollars whenever I need a replacement

I think I tried using an auto hotkey script like that once but I had a lot of trouble getting it to work, I'd appreciate posting a guide of sorts to get it working though certainly. I'm just worried because I have no means of trying the CST out without pulling the trigger, and it's so drat expensive too.

Just install AHK and any .ahk files will run like an exe file. For what it's worth, the CST is on Massdrop right now. It's still not cheap, but it saves you a bit of money. Shipping time is pretty long, though. They make each trackball to order.

It's bound to right mouse button, but if you look up AHK key codes, you can set that to any keypress. Just find and replace the entire file from RButton to whatever.

You're...you're actually going to buy that thing, aren't you?  I mean they did a pretty good job cloning the Intellimouse Explorer's ergonomics with the Sensei but the price they ask for the wireless version is outrageous.

Just a quick update re: Logitech support. I just called the number that someone posted here and told them my mouse was double clicking and when I bought it. They just asked me a few troubleshooting questions (did you try plugging it into a different computer?) and then asked me to email them an order receipt. I sent it while still on the line and in a couple days they confirmed shipping of a new mouse and I got it the following week. Seems pretty solid.

I wonder how fast the wheel will actually track. It skipped around like hell when I put it over something scrollable at full speed, but I have no idea how one would actually measure that.

Well I like the MS mice so much I ended up buying almost one of every model of steelseries. Decently cheap if you hunt around on ebay. So are those 'Tiger Gaming' mouse feet any good(compared to the factory feet and other aftermarket feet)? The ones from China that come up in all my ebay searches for mice?

Who the gently caress thought it would be a good idea to map, by default, history-back and history-forward into side mouse buttons? Because the risk-utility ratio of that mapping is just super.

I Own Soulz posted:I'm honestly confused on your sentiments. Are you saying it's a bad idea? And if so why? Some mice or a lot of mice have really sensitive side buttons that can easily be bumped when either moving the mouse or grasping it after typing. Hitting back with an uncommitted form in a browser is pretty lovely. And you have to do those actions all the time. Take hand off mouse to type. When done typing, grasp the mouse again to move the cursor to some commit button. When grasping for your mouse there is a significant likelihood that you could grasp it incorrectly and hit the back button losing all your typing. This can be worse when you're at a computer that's not yours and with an unfamiliar mouse.

I've never personally used a mouse with buttons so sensitive that I frequently accidentally hit them, but if you have or regularly use one, Lazarus Form Recovery will solve this problem: Firefox / Chrome

Wow, I cannot say I have heard anyone complain about back/forward being bound to side buttons before. I consider it a requirement a mouse have side buttons and thought having back bound there was the best thing ever when I got my first Intellimouse. I guess if they were so sensitive the lightest touch would trigger them, but I have never seen a mouse like that.

It's been a default behavior since, what, 2001 when Microsoft introduced the first Optical Intellimouse (and Explorer)?

kefkafloyd posted:It's been a default behavior since, what, 2001 when Microsoft introduced the first Optical Intellimouse (and Explorer)? And its kinda been a pain since then. Yeah you can re-bind them but only after a bit of frustration and you can't do poo poo on a system that's not yours. I personally don't use the back action enough to warrant binding it to my mouse. Honestly I feel like they just bound it because there was a button there. I use left, right and middle click. Any more actions on my mouse are too clunky and risky since those would require my 'weak' fingers. I'd rather just use the KB at that point. Maybe if I was a hardcore gamer but those days are behind me.

I use them all the time in browsers and other similar apps to the point that I get annoyed if an app that has back/forward as concepts in its UI doesn't support them. They're also great for secondary combat functions in games, I usually end up with grenades on the forward button and melee on back.

I'll admit I'm not a fan of that behavior, sometimes I squeeze a little oddly and accidentally press it and it annoys me, luckily my new snazzy G302 is a right handed mouse, and doesn't make me want to kill my hand like the Zowie ECA-2. Right now I'm working on fixing my grip so I don't use 2 fingers on the left click like some sort of barbarian.

Hi I wanna spend like 20-30 great british pound sterling max on a decent mouse this is the first time I've ever not had a 2 quid job from asda I wanna use it for video games and general use and I'd prefer wired because wireless seems a bit shonky and I don't really understand it and it'll probably increase the price I'd imagine any suggestions?

For a future second computer that will mostly be for multimedia but also some light gaming/modding, how good is the E-3lue Cobra if anyone has used it? It looks a lot like the Razer Diamondback, which is still the best mouse I've ever used and if it's a quality mouse I'd buy it in a heartbeat for that project.

I got a Logitech MX Master to replace a 5 year old Performance Mouse MX and it's better in every way for me. Had to uninstall Setpoint because it didn't auto detect it but they have some new kind of logitech driver that's much less bloated than setpoint. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/mx-master?crid=7&WT.ac=HPB1-CTA3-mxmaster If I'm using their website right having this mouse also makes me a qualified architect so now I have a second career in the bag

The Razer Krait runs around 30 USD and is a good mouse with a flawless sensor if you have small hands or a fingertip grip. It was too small for me though.

Okay this switch from setpoint to "Logitech Options" for MX Master is pretty annoying. The default for the thumb button with Setpoint and my old Performance MX was this nice preview of all my open windows where I could shuffle them around, I don't know what it was even called but I can't seem to find its equivalent in Logitech Options, its default for the thumb button is just your standard Vista/7 alt+tab preview. Any ideas?

No, it was basically like a TV's picture in picture where all the windows would fill up the screen at one time, made it super convenient for running multiple instances of video games and programs. The button never did anything until I installed setpoint after every reformat so I don't think it was Windows related
