This is just straight up not true at all.

Sounds like I should stick with cheap, disposable G600s until a Windows update finally breaks LGS (which sucks, but it sucks less than all the other options, apparently), then.

My wired mouse only wakes the PC with a click. My wireless mouse wakes it with any input, movements included. This probably isn't configurable, right? I'm guessing it might have to do with the wired mouse getting less power during sleep. The wireless one is a couch mouse, making its behavior rather annoying.

Razer Synapse was the one with a security hole that let you elevate your Windows access to admin by plugging in a Razer device, if I remember right. Nobody else has managed that level of fuckup yet I think.

And what what would happen if I never install any drivers? I just want a comfy mouse with good quality switches.

Some mice have onboard memory which allows you to set them up, save your settings, then uninstall the software (or they come with an independent memory manager application which you only have to launch once). orcane fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Sep 28, 2021 |

I've found that what improves my workflow the most is the most sensitive DPI mice. I was using a Razer Deathadder with macros assigned to the 2/3 limited buttons and the rest on hot corners for about 6 years, but Razor doesn't care about Mac support and the Synapse software is sub-standard at best and no longer even supported on Mac. I've switched over to the Corsair M65, and the software works, but the build isn't nearly as solid as Deathadder. I'm on my 3rd M65 in less than 2 years

Did Microsoft or anyone else ever release a successor or similar mouse to the Microsoft Sculpt Mobile Mouse? I need a new one soon but they've been discontinued. What I need: Nothing fancy. Wireless. Light, not big. Some friction underneath so that it stays in place unless you intentionally move it. Max €50. Edit: n/m. Went for the Sculpt Comfort Mouse.

Nobody else has managed that level of fuckup yet I think. TBQH I don't know that I'd call that Razer's fuckup. That happened because windows automatically fetches drivers from WU, and starts the install with admin privileges. Only thing razer did was display an explorer picker. There are likely 100s of other drivers on WU that do the same. IMO that is MS's fuckup, first by auto-escalating privileges without user input, and last by the permanently broken windows user security model. A million years ago they made some bad decisions, and then they never fully fixed them because convenience & compatibility were more important.

Minus the mountain dew and cheetos, that sounds about right. I bought my current G600 in August 2019 and it's just starting to double click.

I'm on my second G600. The first one started double-clicking on the left mouse button so I desoldered the switch and put in a japanese omron (D2F-01F? The internal contacts are gold plated so they resist corrosion better than the chinese omrons). Like two weeks after I fixed the mouse button, the scroll wheel died. I have the parts to repair it but haven't got around to it yet, I'm using a new G600 right now. A lot of people don't know that there are weights installed inside the G600. Taking it apart, removing the weights, and putting on new mouse feet make it feel a lot nicer. I was really enjoying my refurbed old one before the scroll wheel died.

My Logitech LS1 is kicking the bucket after an eternity of loyal service. What mice should I be looking at if I don't want to spend too much, strongly prefer wired, am deathly allergic to extreme gamer aesthetic and RGB and really don't want to have to install lovely software to disable it? Having horizontal scroll would be nice, but it's not a deal breaker.

Geemer posted:My Logitech LS1 is kicking the bucket after an eternity of loyal service. The best general purpose mouse with a horizontal scroll wheel I've found (and have been using for work for a year-ish now) is the Logitech MX master 3. But, it's wireless if that's a deal breaker for you. For general purpose mousing it's hard to beat - a bit heavy but there are a lot of features. I haven't tried it for any sort of gaming though so YMMV.

Mainly cables are ugly and unfashionable, and the downsides of wireless mice have been steadily improved on over the years (no perceptible lag, much longer lasting batteries). Hardcore gamers also appreciate not needing to worry about the cord resistance when making sudden wide movements (remember mouse bungees?). But yes, most people having a laptop is a major factor in favour of wireless and also of device switching features like the MX Master has.

K8.0 posted:It's still a piece of poo poo. RGB settings don't save to your mouse, and any time you lock your PC the RGB goes to the default color cycling behavior. My favourite Razer thing is that if you use openrazer on Linux and set RGB there, it absolutely does save the lighting settings to the mouse as it persists even in Windows, so the abilities there. They just don't let you do it to make you run synapse I guess?

I can never go back to wired mice. Cables only get in the way. They snag on things, add to the clutter, and honestly it's great just being able to use your mouse in whatever way you can imagine. The secret best reason is being able to use the mouse in your hoody pocket during the coldest days of winter.

I went through a few mice trying to find the right one before getting a SteelSeries sensei (raw), that thing lasted me about 6-7 years before the double click started. Great mouse.

It sucks, but no other mouse meets all my criteria (12 button thumb grid, ring finger button), and needing to spend $17/yr on mice isn't a deal breaker.

Is there any sort of mouse form factor standard? I'm starting to think my current mouse is failing and might need to shop for one soon, but I seem to like them relatively large, and online stuff tends be terrible for showing size, and covid means you can't really go in and manhandle the products anymore. Right now I'm using a Roccat Kone EMP, previously had a Logitech G5 that I loved to bits. Any recommendations from the thread?

Just had a Glorious Model D wireless delivered today and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. The new switches feel great. Tight with a nice snappy click and even the wheel is tighter. The only quirk I've run into is with the new software and rgb. The colors in the app are out of sync with what the mouse displays.

is there a way to simulate a second dpi shift button on a logitech mouse using only the on-board memory? (i.e. having a second dpi shift button that selects a dpi that is different than your first dpi shift button) you can simulate a second dpi shift button using macros in ghub, but the macros will not save to the on-board memory

I’ve been using my laptop a lot more on the couch and I’d really like to not use the trackpad anymore. I was looking for couch mice and this is kinda the only thing that came up Image Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0057KL2AU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_H5X5S0FPCDNQ6EXSMF0D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1  Does anyone have a better suggestion? It’s not super expensive and it seems like it might just work the best for a couch situation.

Trackballs are great for couch/chair mousing, but I don't know about that form factor. Of course, I can also just palm an M570, it might be more appealing if I couldn't.

I just checked the M570 and would it really be comfortable to hold? I guess I’m having a hard time picturing that. Also it looks like it’s been discontinued but the price isn’t significant yet. It does seem like a good alternative!

whats a good wireless mouse that has a lot of programmable shobuttons? the wireless razer naga trinity looks like it would fit the bill but ive been burned so much by low quality gaming mice that paying $150 for something that might work for 2 years feels wasteful. I'd give the chinese brands off Amazon a shot but I feel ehh about installing dodgy button programming software (even though Razer had that big security flaw too).
