As a Deathadder/Intellimouse big hand haver, I"m really digging the shape of the Zowie EC1-A so far. Feels slightly more plump. Not 100% sure it's my spirit animal yet, but it's looking that way.

If you want basics either check your Walmart/best buy or if you want quality basics look into Zowie's mice. They're all $60.

"Should I buy a $100 mouse?" if I do not need the extra bells and whistles? Some warning though, the stock lens scales dpi by *0.85 and it only steps in 250 dpi in software. Why? Who knows. Companies love making really dumb mistakes. It's otherwise a great mouse. I used one of my many g100s lenses and the dpi maps 1:1 and the mouse owns. Although I had to wrestle with the top foot for the better part of an hour to get it flush again. Khorne fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jun 3, 2016 |

So my mouse has developed Dread Doubleclick Disease and at this point it's become terminal. I need a new mouse. I'm not a heavy gamer, I don't play FPS games, I do a lot of Office stuff and web browsing. I use the palm grip so a claw grip designed mouse like the Xornet above probably won't work well for me. What's the best mouse $50 can buy on short notice? Corded, for preference. I've still never used a wireless mouse I liked.

So I got a G900 and I like it. Previously i had used only ergonomic Logitech mice so I'm still adapting to the ambidextrous grip. I want to replace my work mouse with an ambidextrous design to help build muscle memory. I want: -Ambi shape as close to the G900 as possible. -2 side buttons -800 DPI native with no software required -Wired or wireless doesn't matter -Not wildly expensive I impulse bought a G100s without doing any research not realizing that it had no side buttons and default DPI is 1000. Any suggestions?

So I just replaced my Filco keys after a few years, and learned in the process that isopropyl alcohol is a not-smart thing to have cleaned the old ones with. I was wondering what it means that I have done the same with my Logitech G502. Do the buttons wear the same way, and what else might have been eroded as a result? ufarn fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Give that I've probably messed up my G502 with the wrong cleaning agent and I'll probably just say gently caress it and get a new one, how the hell do I back up my settings? If I choose the "store settings on computer", it just resets to default, and I can't figure out where and how I clone my on-mouse settings to my computer.

I'm shopping for a new mouse, primarily for FPS games. I've always been a Logitech guy, so I'm looking at the G303, G402, and G502 currently. However, I've also been told by enough people that they love their Razer DeathAdder Chroma, that I'm considering it in the lineup as well. I'm Googling reviews and whatnot, but does anyone here have personal experience with two or more of these mice and can compare them?

The deathadder is a great mouse if its the right shape for your hand. It feels nothing like any of the logitech ones.

Good luck getting sick 360 no scope headshots with a trackball. I can't do them with a mouse, so it's not like I'd notice a difference.

It's actually easier because you just flick the ball and let it spin to do a 360

My Corsair Vengeance M90 is dying. I've had it for... probably five years. The scroll wheel is going bad (it scrolls down. a lot.) and the right mouse button takes an inordinate amount of force to activate. It is so old that Corsair has recently discontinued its successor, the M95. Is there a known successor to the M95, or something that's the same shape? I love this mouse and I really just want another one, but they're insanely hard to find (and when you do find one that's new or barely used, it's incredibly expensive. Though this might be a location problem.  )

Yeah since everything is saved on-board, you don't need the software unless you want to setup profiles or whatever. And also for what it's worth, it only takes up like 20MB of memory having it running in the background. It's nothing.

I thought it was dying, but removing LGS made it it work right again. I think Logitech don't care about old mice anymore.

henne posted:It's actually easier because you just flick the ball and let it spin to do a 360 Yeah honestly 90, 180, and 360 degree turns are easier on a trackball than a mouse. People say they aren't for gaming, but that's only true if you don't take the time to get used to controlling them or if you buy a bad one. Another benefit is if you play games with lots of mouse movement, like Quake-esque shooters. You can track infinitely, with no mousepad to run out of, ever.

Is there a better mouse similar to Zowie EC1, maybe a bit smaller? I like the simplicity and shape but it could use a better wheel and side buttons. I liked the switches as I don't accidentally click as much as logitech ones.

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:The Kensington Orbit is a decent inexpensive model, or you can spend a bit more for a Slimblade or Expert Mouse (get the Bluetooth model, the scroll mechanism is better). Beyond that you run into CST L-Trac, CH DT225 (the Model M of trackballs), and various Itac models. I use an L-Trac every day for productivity and gaming and it's wonderful. You'll hate it after 5 minutes and love it after 5 hours.

I want a new mouse. I use a G502. I grip it from the sides, using my middle finger for wheel and right click while using my ring and pinky to the right of the mouse. Wheel is why I want to replace it, but the 502 is actually a little on the large side for me. What do you think of G303 Corsair Sabre Deathadder Chroma Sabre is the most expensive for me, while the G303 is the cheapest, and Deathadder Chroma is somewhere in the middle. I do like the G502 having extra buttons to the side of the left click, and I use them for copy and paste which is why I have the Corsair Sabre in consideration. Mousewheel from the right to open links in new tabs. I don't really like Razer much because I've already gone through 4 Deathadders, but maybe their latest stuff is better I dunno. 303 might solve the size issues I have. I know I like the Deathadder feel but their QC seems iffy. Buying all 3 and just trying them all out and selling them off is also a possibility, but I can get the Deathadder Chroma and 303 together. help Also if anyone knows of any other mice which have little buttons to the left of the left click like the 502 and Sabre have definitely say something because I would also consider them.

Does anyone here have Logitech MX Master? How hard is to middle click with its scroll wheel? As hard as with older Logitech dual mode scroll wheels or is it easier? I use middle click almost as much as left click so it's very important that it doesn't make my finger hurt after a while.

I use middle click almost as much as left click so it's very important that it doesn't make my finger hurt after a while. Since the wheel doesn't move left and right, the middle click on the MX Master is much more solid. It also has the unlock button which can be remapped to a function as well for a middle click.

Do I need to use less force to press it?

More solid as it has a more defined click and doesn't wobble. Since the wheel doesn't have left-right scrolling it is firmer and easier to click. I wager the force of the middle click is about the same as most other mice wheels. There is an actual button below it that nominally is mapped to unlocking the wheel but you can set it to any function you like if middle clicking the wheel isn't to your style. I used to use an MX Revo before the MX Masters.
