Are there any actually good bluetooth mice? I don't feel like permanently attaching a dongle to my computer.

Bluetooth can have some quirkiness, like some delay when walking up from sleep, and it isn't ideal for gaming as mentioned. But if you want a mouse than functions normally then there's options, the Logitech ones I've used have been fine. I'm currently using the Logitech Triathlon which might be a little on the large side for a travel mouse, but it runs off a single battery and has the hyper scroll wheel. Also has a low profile dongle included so you can switch between Bluetooth or dongle if you decide you prefer the other - or even different machines, like desktop to laptop.

Honestly, I don't know what it means either.  I switched to a widnows computer from a macbook and i've been exclusively touching the trackpad for the last six years, I'm lost and confused and all the wireless mice at Best Buy were tiny.

Most USB receivers are quite tiny now. They would stick out a quarter of an inch give or take a 1/16th. Find a wireless mouse that has the buttons you want, size you like, and there ya go. If you don't care about gaming, then expand into the bluetooth ones. From what I've seen though, most bluetooth mice are on the smaller side, as they are meant to pair with tablets and laptops, thus easy portability.

The Logitech MX Master 2S is on sale today on Amazon for $60. It's supposed to be a really good mouse and supports both Bluetooth and a dongle. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Master-Wireless-Mouse-Rechargeable/dp/B0714D71SB/

I bought this mouse, I think it's pretty good. Willing to answer any questions about it and/or hear about how I wasted my money and am I a big dummy: https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-650-wireless

Steelseries Rival is a pretty good line of mice. I'm using the 310. I considered spending up to either one of the other options for the wireless or vibration, but didn't feel like the LCD screen was worth the increased cost, and having never used a Steelseries mouse before, I wasn't sure if the Rival shape or Steelseries software was going to be my jam. I never look down at my mousing hand when playing games, there's no way for me to get feedback from the side screen. But vibration would have been interesting and potentially useful. So uh, little of column A, little of column B for you. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Sep 19, 2019 |

My g903's right click just started refusing to hold on down last night. 2 years and 1 month old, so 1 month over the warranty period. Anyone have experience with Logitech being lenient on the warranty period?

Has anyone here done a microswitch replacement on a Logitech G900? I'm on my second one and now one of the DPI buttons is doing multi-clicks. I'm actually surprised since I barely ever use those buttons, and everything else is working fine. If was one of the side buttons that started acting up on my original one.

Razer themselves said they sold as many left handed nagas in 6 years as 1 day of right handed mice.

Most left-handed people tend to use the mouse with their right hand, doesn't surprise me.

All this talk of mice with beehives of buttons makes me want to try out a toe keyboard for mmos. Since I'm lazy, I'm tempted just rip most of the keys off an old keyboard instead of making something ergonomic.

Anyone try the MX Master 3? I have a Master 2S at work and it's great, so I'm considering replacing my aging G502 (did you know the scroll wheel seems to be painted copper? I discovered this because I've worn the paint off of most of the wheel) with one. I don't game that much anymore and the Master 2S is quite similar but... nicer. I could just get another 2S but it's about the same price as the 3.

I didn’t realize they released a MX Master 3. My original 1 is getting a bit long in the tooth. Might have to pick it up.

I hope this helps someone: I recently picked up a G Pro Wireless and to pair it to the receiver in the Powerplay mat, you have to do it through the Logitech Gaming Software or G Hub, not Connection Utility. Spent way too long on this.

I remember seeing multiple goons recommend that, instead of a fancy mousepad, people should get some sort of cutting mat that is cheaper, bigger, and just as good. Anyone know what that is? And is it actually that good?

Anyone know what that is? And is it actually that good? I haven't seen anyone recommend that, although I don't see why it might not work as long as you're using any surface that the mouse can track. Large, non-RGB mousepads are pretty cheap though.

Cutting mats are a terrible mousing surface. There's a ton of drag, they're prone to deforming, and they really aren't that cheap. Just get huge cheap mousepads off amazon.

As far as I know most cutting/crafts mats are slightly grippy to prevent your stuff from sliding as you cut, which is the opposite of what you want in a mousing surface. Cloth mats are cheap enough and it's not like you're buying them more than once or twice a decade anyways.

Well that explains why I can't recall anyone here ever actually recommending that!  So here, have a huge, actual mouse pad for $10.

cheap is good but go for solid colors over patterns. No chance of variable drag due to printing and very minor sensor reading errors from an irregular pattern. You can also rotate it 180 degree when the mousing surface gets dirty without having an upside down design. Anyways this is the superior $10 mousepad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2VP8HJ/ref=psdc_705323011_t3_B0752D8LLC Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Oct 4, 2019 |

I can understand why swapping the puck wouldn't work (it's only for charging). The Lightspeed receiver as part of the Powerplay pad shows up in Connection Utility but that piece of software doesn't work with it. Only resolved after finding a random KB article on Logitech's support site which in hindsight was spot on for my scenario.

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:How are people finding the wireless G502? After some waffling I ended up getting one instead of a MX Master 3, and it's... a G502. It's slightly - only just noticeably - lighter than the original G502, the scroll wheel feels nicer (has some rubber padding on it now), and of course it's wireless, but other than that it's almost identical when comparing them side by side. Not a bad thing - I liked the original G502.

Feels like everybody here must have huge hands; I wanted to like the G502, but to me it feels absurdly long.

I went through a load of different mice over the years and settled on the zowie fk2. I can say it's comfortably the best mouse I have ever purchased. Un flashy and relatively cheap, but incredibly comfortable (with smallish hands) and top build quality.

Having had one myself I definitely think that you can't get full value out of it unless you're using a palm grip, due to the button placement. The sniper button in particular is pretty far forward.

I've got smallish hands (18cmx10cm) but it wasn't the length that bothered me, it was the height - my wrist ended up hurting after a few hours serious gaming from the slightly uncomfortable angle. It's also obviously a bit heavy. I use fingertip grip so dunno if that makes a difference. Strangely great for office work though - the shift feature which I don't use for gaming I find handy for working with lots of documents, and the size isn't as bothersome when I'm not having to rapidly move with precision. I was looking at a Model O Minus as a replacement at the other extreme but I can't seem to find much information on the release date for that. Edit: Idiot I am, it's out, just not available in Aus.

I use a fingertip grip with a G500 and I had the same problem until I started using a wrist rest. Most of the one's I saw for sale were too short so I use a stack of folded bamboo socks about an inch tall that keeps my hand parallel to my forearm. There might be something less weird out there, but it got the job done so I haven't bothered looking too hard for a nicer replacement!
