It felt like a lot of games didn't allow you to bind something to that middle click back in the day. At least not with the option menu itself, sometimes you could use console commands or edit an ini file. poo poo, the support for mouse 4 and mouse 5 was terrible for a long time too. Like those video game developers were still stuck using 10 dollar office mice.

Someone needs to develop a mouse with a middle button that uses a haptic engine on the middle mouse wheel/pad to simulate the wheel scrolling but is pressed like a normal button. I never feel good pushing the scroll wheel in. Apple’s mouse has a pretty good design, but if they had a haptic engine hoo boy and maybe some way to “feel” which “button” your finger is on, hoo boy

I've personally switched to wireless for everything as the cord was bothering me while doing big movements in games (plus wireless latency is the same or better than wired now), but there's a price premium for the good wireless technology in the gaming series mice. They also tend to need to be charged more often than office mice, although amount of use still plays the main factor. I have the wireless G502 but it's a heavier mouse and costs about a hundred bucks (MSRP seems to be more) so it's not inexpensive. I'd give the zowie a fair shot if you don't outright hate the cord and if you still dislike it in a couple of weeks see about returning it. Mice are something you have to get used to unless there's some obvious issue right away or an ergonomic problem causing any kind of finger numbness or anything like that. It's possible your old G402 was having issues with the cable if it was skipping a lot or possibly a hair or dust stuck in the sensor window. I thought they had a pretty new sensor so they should handle almost any surface but I never owned one personally so I could be mistaken, I just had the G400, G500, G400S, G502 from their line up from the last decade or whatever but I switched to the wireless G502. I have a G703 as well but I don't like the shape that much.

I purchased a razer mouse - the naga pro. The software is not as poo poo terrible as I remember from several years back. The mouse is built well and is comfy to use. I just can't understand the decision to stick with micro USB in the year of our lord two thousand twenty two, but whatever. All things considered probably a 8/10.

I think it's just cheaper to use micro USB than USB-C because USB-C doubles up the pins to make it reversible. Solder 4 things + the shield for micro, 8 things + the shield for USB-C(or more if your USB-C port handles more than USB 2.0 spec). Plus they probably buy them by the hundreds of thousands and I'm guessing USB-C costs a few pennies more. I believe a pro gamer did a branded Logitech mouse recently and insisted they use USB-C on it, so perhaps they'll see a shift in towards it in the future (might be the Shroud edition IIRC).

Correct, that was the G303 Shroud Edition. Now if he only convinced them to get new switches... Not that I would have ever gotten one, its shape is apparently not ideal for palm grippers.

Arrived overnight, set it up just now (second highest DPI setting under the mouse, love the no bloatware philosophy) Instantly I think I prefer the Zowie. It obviously has an advantage in terms of weight but also surprisingly I think I prefer its low profile ergonomic design to the MX Master 3. Or maybe I've just spent so long with the MX Master 3 that the Zowie feels like a breath of fresh air. Feels a lot better on my wrist.

Pulsar makes a pretty good EC2 clone, the Xlite wireless. I guess there's a V2 now. 60g and about $10 more than a real EC2-C. I have the original, non-updated version and while I found that I don't really like ergo shapes, it's a good mouse.

Replaced the switches in my G303 for the third or fourth time today. Starting to notice measurable plastic wear on the plastic switch contactors inside. Probably the last set for this mouse :/ Sad to see it go, but excited to pick up a gpro X superlight as my next, used one and I loved it.

It is my three-month-iversary of getting the Roccat Burst Core to replace the the Steelseries Prime Wireless that started behaving badly after a month. Yes, a month. I am IMMENSELY pleased with something that is half the cost of my old standby, the G502, and a third of the price of the Prime Wireless, and still has yet to show any signs of failure. AND the Roccat has adjustable debounce settings in their software.

Their QA seems solid My KPA main clicks got all rattly and lovely after like a month, returned it, same thing with the replacement. I opened it up and shimmed the main clicks with some foil tape and Roccat QC was super cool and sent me replacement feet for free. Both of mine were probably in the first batch though so maybe it was just that. Awesome mouse in general, probably the only non symmetrical I've really enjoyed using. Artelier posted:no you don't understand, it's the same but there's less holes!! I'm currently using a hati s wireless which is all holes all the time and I just cut some btl grips I had from another mouse for the sides and the rear hump to mash it into my palm farther. It's worth trying. The only mouse I've ever used that had a good enough coating that it was totally pointless was the XM1. I eagerly await the XM2W and the return to no holes.

Well poop, my G900 right click is acting up. I guess it had a good long run. Is there hive-mind-conventional-wisdom about a successor wireless mouse for that, or is my best bet to pick the same thing up again on Amazon? (G903 maybe? Saw some mysterious badmouthing of that.) I don't care about game sense automagic whatever, I just like the responsiveness, the sensor, the weight, and (until now) the clickyfeel. e: Part of the chatter seems to be about the HERO sensor (in the G502 and in a version of the G903) vs the older PixArt PMW3366 (in the G900 and in a version of the G903).

I quickly needed a mouse that could easily switch between computers, so I picked up a Logitech MX Master 2S. It's fine, but the "change bluetooth profile" button being on the bottom of the mouse is pretty irritating given I press the thing about 50 times a day. I guess it's plenty of wrist twisting exercise as I pick it up to hit the button each time.

sup nerds it's sir clicks a lot i'm reaching the end of my time with the Steelseries Rival 310. even after a few years with it, i keep inadvertently bopping the scroll wheel. the side rubbers are peeling off. the shape is fine, but my dead Func MS-3 is rolling in its grave considering the good times we had. that stupid lil floor button on the left, meant for the right thumbo? i miss it. it was so dumb. any recs? within the Steelseries family would be nice just for using the same app with the apex kb. used/discontinued is fine. the only gottabees are wired kinda thic for my personal hybrid 80% palm 20% claw 100% noscopes brand (but freal the only competitive twitchy fps i'm playing nowadays is none of them/casual quake champions) Please, Not Gamery! big dumb logos and razr angles: kindly go nap in a shady spot under a tree in the grass at your leisure (rgb okay though, i do like to party and kiss people) what else? righty, 1440 @ 1600cpi, maybe a few more buttons on the side(s) in addition to [ < ] [ > ] whoa do i just need a basic rear end mouse from target now? is that where i am?

If it’s a toggle that’s very interesting, because the MX3 is pretty much the best mouse I've been daily driving the Zowie E2C since I got it; the past week or two. It's a fresh breath of air (for me) compared to the clunky and awkward MX Master 3 which I've been using for years (including the OG and Master 2). It could also be the material of the glide pads on the underside of the mouse; the Zowie seems to have much less friction, even accounting for the lighter weight.

spider wisdom posted:did anyone ape that logitech left/right tilt wheel? Razer has a tilt wheel in some of their mice. Steelseries has it in one or two models. And there are miscellaneous other mice with it -- RTings has tilt wheel on their table comparison tool. IMO if you actually like & use the tilt wheel you probably want to go with a logi, in that they're the company who do that on all their models consistently with a high-quality mechanism. A fair number of mice that put a tilt wheels as a throw-in feature do it with cheap & crappy methods. OTOH the new razer basilisk v3 has a very fancy scroll wheel with tilt and clutch free-spin. That one the mechanism seems high quality, though it's also pretty complicated so there's maybe a durability question. (Previous basilisks had problems with scroll wheel accuracy too.)

X5? I had the X3. X6 was keyboard. What was nice was the sidewinder keyboard I had with the detachable numpad that could go on either side. No reason they couldn't still be a player in that space. I also have the R5. I like having as much as possible on the mouse and only using the keyboard for movement essentially. I miss some of the extra buttons on the big Rival 500 I used previously but it didn't take too long to adjust. And with a more lightweight, smaller mouse I feel like I'm more precise in warzone but maybe its placebo effect. For the side buttons, I think I went rocker up as tactical nade, rocker down is ping, front most button is melee, middle reload and rear is armor. On the 500 I used to use the ring finger button on the edge of RMB for the map, thats the one I miss the most.

The keyboard was great for a membrane but mine was the victim of a spilled beer a few years back. MS hardware has usually been good for me. I'm still thinking about what I'm going to bind the buttons to. The ms mouse had vertically stacked side buttons so I'm sure the new configuration will take a little getting used to.

buglord posted:Are there mice out there that don't require as much force to click? Any of the razer mice with optical switches don't require too much force to click. Logitech Mice have Omron switches that might fail before 20 million clicks but if you are handy with a soldering iron, you can easily replace them with another microswitch for the mouse buttons. I have done for my Superlight with some TTC Golden Micro 80m and they feel really tuned in like the Omron switches but better quality. Stay far away from Steelseries' optical magnetic switches. The switches require alot of focus to activate and it is really hard to get single clicks from them consistently. I have Steelseries Prime sitting in a drawer because of how much I hated those things.
