You can buy it separate for 10 dollars.

TCG playmats are almost always literally just mousemats. They're often the foam bottom with that thin cloth layer bonded on top, and don't have nice stitched edges though. I'm waiting for my Xbox huge Godspeed mat.

Hand washes easily without any wear. Whatever you get, make sure it's got stitching on the edges to keep it from fraying and collecting dust.

TheRationalRedditor posted:If you like the G402 as is, you'd be best off trying to get another one (but it is discontinued). The G102 is the best sensor out of those you've listed, but it doesn't mean much if you don't enjoy the shapes. Logitech's modern lineup doesn't have a direct equivalent to those old ones you listed but the G403 might be close enough to your hands. The G403 is prohibitively expensive here so it's out of the question, sadly. My only qualm with getting a Logitech again is having to replace it within a year or two for the same issue. How is the Steelseries Rival 100/110? Also, I should've mentioned this in the original post but I use a palm grip and apparently the G102/302 are meant for claw grips? I have small hands and from the few reddit posts I've read the G102 is alright for palm grips if you have a small hand with the only real negative being no real place to rest your thumb.

Khorne posted:Second question that hinges on the answer to the first, are there any mice with a shape like the Xornet or Xornet II but with the 3360/3366 sensor? I actually got a Corsair Sabre instead, sensor is a 3988 (slight upgrade of 3310) and I can't make any spinout occur so it's fine by me. I'm still chasing a g9x shape rather than Xornet and this was a better fit for me. I would like to have tried the MM520, but I'm happy enough with the Sabre.

Kind of a weird request, but does anyone have recommendations for a mouse and/or mousepad for use on the arm of a couch/easy chair? Or do I really just need to get a lap desk. I would prefer wireless, and not expensive. Doesn’t need to be crazy headshot-tier performance, just not lovely.

Might do what you want. They also used to make these mouse pads that had what was essentially a small beanbag on the bottom of them so they could conform to odd/soft shapes. They usually don't stay level though, and my quick googling couldn't find one. If one of those works, then it would be whatever mouse you like.

The MX Ergo is the first trackball I would look at (and probably the last, tbh). It can work wired or wireless.

I use a Kensington expert at work and I like it. If you are going the trackball route, thumb operated might be faster to adapt to, but finger operated may be better in the long term for your wrist. I've heard mixed reviews about the scroll ring, but mine works fine and is good. Ive never tried the slim blade one so idk how the ball scrolling feels. Logitech makes some good thumb operated trackballs and elecom is big in Japan and has unique designs, but do a little research and find the features you need before grabbing one, as some have no scroll options, or no way to hold down LMB and use the scroll wheel at the same time.

I've been using a Elecom Huge for several months, ordered it direct from Japan before the US got inventory. Can't install the driver package on my work machine but all the basic buttons work: clicks, scroll wheel up and down, back and forward navigation. It replaced a Logitech M570 that was several years ago that started having click issues. I also tried Elecom' trackball that has a similar form factor but didn't like the ergonomics.

I really appreciate the posts. I have just recently been having issues with my mousehand wrist after 10-12 hours of daily use for awhile now. Ordered a HUGE based on the past few posts. I’m looking forward to trying it out, I haven’t really used a trackball before so I’m looking forward to it. I do remember playing some Age of Empires at a friends house with his dad’s trackball (and giant screen filter over his CRT) back in the mid90s, but thats my only experience with them so far. Will probably post after it arrives and I get a chance to use it for some gaming, etc.

i dont know if this thread is just for jokes but the worst thing you can do is ignore me ahem I have a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse. I've had it for a couple of years now, and I've mostly kept the hand scum buildup to a minimum, but now the drat left mouse button randomly doesn't work. I pulled off the cover and air-blasted the insides, but it didn't really help. Is there any common problem that could be going on or is it just a cheap switch that's worn out? By randomly I should specify, every few seconds one click or several clicks get no response. Pressing harder changes nothing. It seems to have come on suddenly.

Pressing harder is just keeping the switch pressed. Probably best to get s new mouse now unless you want to try and fix it yourself with new switches. Question: Why don't they more more ergonomic mice like this?

Wulfolme posted:i dont know if this thread is just for jokes but the worst thing you can do is ignore me Usually that's just the switch getting worn out or dirty. It doesn't use the same kind of switches as I usually see in logitech mice (usually omron switches in a little box enclosure) so I can't give you specific advice on replacing it but this thread has a picture of the switches: https://superuser.com/questions/924185/microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-mouse-can-you-disassemble-it-for-cleaning  There's also a series of pictures here: https://forums.windowscentral.com/ask-question/348901-does-anyone-know-how-i-could-disassemble-microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-mouse.html They almost look like little tactile switches but I'm not familiar with the specific ones. That's all I can really find about it online, but if you can find a replacement switch and don't mind soldering you can probably replace it.

I stripped it down to this stage and scraped around to get any hair and crap off. It seems to have helped just a bit. I do have a soldering iron, but I don't have the first clue where you could buy a switch replacement. I'd probably melt something trying, anyway.

If you can get the part number, Digikey most likely has you covered. It's worth a shot for a couple bucks if you like it and don't like throwing away an otherwise good piece of equipment. The switches on my Anywhere MX had tiny solder points and my desoldering/soldering was sloppy as hell, but I was still able to get four or five more years of swaps done before I finally messed up enough to lift a trace.

So I got the Kesington Expert and I love it so far. However, the trackballworks software seems to cause rapid clicking to not register, which is an issue in some games. Is there a good alternative for mapping the mouse buttons and changing scroll speed?

But I do want it large enough for both a standard-sized keyboard and mouse for gaming. The Razer one is slightly too long but that SteelSeries one looks nice and it would fit on my desk but it doesn't have the edge stitching or is that not a big deal? spasticColon fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 19, 2018 |
