Also didn't realize the new ultimate is the v3 pro.

Are controllers Mice? I feel like they are. I bought a Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma and both thumb sticks have broken off, and the A button has managed to get a dead body underneath it. What controller can I use that makes transitioning to consoles not 100% absolute poo poo? Edit: it's not like im throwing this POS across the room. It's in my hand and no... doing anything specials on my Xbox or my PC

I've got the original Wolverine Ultimate but it's been used and abused for 2 1/2 years now and the rubber back's not even peeling (yet). It's easily the most robust peripheral I've owned in recent memory. Aren't the sticks hot-swappable on both the V1 and V2 Wolverine? I can't imagine physically breaking them before they just sort of...magnetically decoupled from the controller first.

G502 X was just delivered, so far I'm finding it way more comfortable than the Basilisk V3 and the original G502. My thumb rests right behind the paddle and I'm able to use it without adjusting my grip like with the Basilisk. Weight feels good and balanced, its no 40g honeycomb mouse but its not a brick with teflon feet. Not sure how long it will last, but the left and right mouse buttons have a solid snap back and a decently loud click. There's a little bit of pre-click travel but nothing you'd notice with regular use.

So maybe the OP just accidentally disconnected them without knowing it?

Is there an inherent limitation in Bluetooth standards that prevents wireless mice from not being terrible when operating in that mode? I just picked up a Razer Orochi V2 to use as a laptop travel mouse, and while it seems to be pretty great when used with the 2.4 GHz dongle at any DPI or polling rate I've thrown at it, Bluetooth mode is no better than the $15 Amazon specials I've been using up to this point. In Bluetooth mode, the cursor seems to update at uneven intervals and/or move across the screen at an inconsistent rate. I think I succeeded at capturing it on video. Let me know if it needs further explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5j926rz1uY Pointer precision also seems to be a problem, even with Windows mouse sensitivity in the lower range (i.e. 5 out of 20) and the cursor will occasionally jump by multiple pixels when making small movements. The last mouse I tried was a Razer Atheris, but that was several months ago and I can't remember if it had the same problem. Like the Orochi, it operated in both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes, but I seem to remember it working equally well in both. I didn't get to spend much time with it, however. I had to return it for unrelated reasons (the mouse wheel scraped during use--whose brilliant idea was it to make the sidewall of the scroll wheel stationary and give it a tolerance of less than 0.2mm where it meets the moving bits despite the whole assembly being made of plastic?). The Orochi was an Amazon Renewed product and that may very well answer my own question as to what is wrong with this thing, but this isn't exactly an intermittent fault. It just performs consistently poorly while operating in Bluetooth mode. But so has every other Bluetooth mouse I've tried in recent memory, with possible exception of the Atheris I tried.

Just because it is on a fancy expensive mouse, don't expect it to work better than a $10 no-name.

Well, that sucks. I wouldn't exactly call Bluetooth an edge case in 2022 where your typical laptop has an average of maybe 1 1/2 USB Type-A ports on it (or zero of you include my work-provided MacBook Pro) and mobile work environments are becoming more common. I thought decent performance from Bluetooth input devices was a modest request well over 10 years ago and would have loved to have it even then, but it seems like the only thing that has improved in that span of time is battery life and not much else.

Odds are you are getting interference from something. Bluetooth operates on a single frequency at a time, so if something interferes and it has to switch to a different frequency, it takes a moment while it re-connects essentially. Most 2.4 GHz mice operate on two frequencies, so if one gets interference it still has a connection on the other. Bluetooth is great as Klyith said, but for actual day to day use, nope. For your Macbook, get a dongle and run wireless.

Bluetooth controllers can actually have very low latency, totally competitive with wired controllers. For presumably power reasons most bluetooth devices are just trash. Maybe Razer doesn't want to bother making bluetooth perform well due to power, development cost, compatibility, or something similar. It would doubtless not be as good as their own wireless, but it probably is capable of being better than trash.

I have seen Bluetooth mice get really choppy during heavy network transfers, but that would make sense since I was connected to a 2.4 GHz network at the time and the radio would be trying to negotiate two connections on the same band essentially. Conversely, I've seen my internet connection mysteriously go flaky soon after turning on my Bluetooth headphones. Let's just say I make absolutely sure WiFi is on 5 GHz whenever possible now to avoid these situations. The kind of performance issues I'm complaining about don't seen to be anywhere severe enough to be explained by interference. Plus, the experience is the same across at least four different machines and two locations.

There's also antenna sharing, usually, WiFi and Bluetooth share the same antenna, but time-divided.

I just took a Logitech MX Master 3S back to where I bought it because the scroll wheel broke within 2 months. I fully expected the store to dick me around with 'repairs' and whatever, but much to my surprise they simply gave me my money back. Before I reluctantly try my luck with the QA lottery again, is there any other mouse I should be checking out? As for why I landed on the MX Master 3 in the first place: the scroll wheels are nice, but I mostly got it because of ergonomics. After a bout with RSIs and coming to terms with the fact that I can't keep using my G502 for both work and gaming anymore, I tried several (cheap) vertical mice and discovered that I didn't like any of them, even after weeks of trying to get used to the whole vertical thing. The MX Master seems to be my happy medium in that regard, but this isn't my first Logitech mouse that had quality issues, so I'm open to alternatives.

Controller-wise I'd recommend 8bitdo's pro 2. Solid controller at a fine budget and has two back paddles, and you can completely reassign every button. Unfortunately I don't think they have anything compatible with the xbone's wireless standard?

I’ve been using the MX Master 3 for a year and it’s still working great. You can get the Anywhere or Triathlon if you don’t need the horizontal scroll wheel. Cheaper means a bad QA experience doesn’t hurt as much. Mouses are finicky enough that I don’t think any one brand holds the golden standard for reliability

I actually could never use a bigass mousepad because I need to keep the surface completely clean at all times or I'm extremely distracted and irritated by it. I've seen some beautiful bigass mousepads/deskpads and I love the concept but in execution I'd be pretty bothered by making sure there wasn't any dust or crumbs or whatever other little debris on it.

I ain't pulling in bank streaming for a living but I'm pretty good at the vidya games, and I think mousepads aren't worth obsessing over. I'm using bigass cloth currently (qck3xl), regular size cloth before that, and nothing before that. It is kinda nice not having to worry about going over the edge, but I'd say stick to personal preference and dont bother obsessing over the travel smoothness of different materials and such. I also play darts and theres a saying re: darts equipment, "if you think it works, it does", which I suppose isn't really specific to darts but you get my meaning. You may think something makes a difference but it could be purely placebo.

With regards to performance, unless there's something you're noticing with your current mousepad holding you back or you're a pro gamer looking for that extra edge in tournaments, the difference between cloth mousepads is negligible. You might care about how the edges are sewn or their logo printing though.

I bought a black Corsair mousemat a while back which has been nice, but after a month I can see where my wrist rests because of the white outline (dead skin, honest!). My old, thinner QcK mat lasted for a trimester before it really needed some cleaning. So now I use the Corsair most of the time, but once a month I swap it for the old QcK while it's drying.

Does anyone have a cost-effective alternative to Razer's adhesive grip tape stickers? They're just the right amount of grippy without being tacky, and they seem to hold up well. I've put them on all my mice and controllers, including my new Steam Deck. That said, $10 is a lot for less than 2"x4" of material when they could probably sell rolls of the stuff for not much more. I'm hoping someone knows of a way to get the material directly. I could even see applying the adhesive manually.
