Has anyone else had any issues with a g pro wireless not charging properly? I'm trying reinstalling all the software at the moment. It's only a year or so old. e- ignore this it just doesn't update it's charging progress for some reason. Jippa fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Oct 3, 2022 |

My big rear end mouse pad is so big it covers the entire desk. It's fantastic. But my God does it ever get and stay dirty

I could get 2-4 years out of one before the cloth started peeling back at the edges and just replace it with an identical one. I just discovered yesterday that Staples has comparable quality ones that are two for $4.99, and just in time too, because my last remaining Fry's mouse pad was starting to come apart. https://www.staples.com/Staples-Gray-Mouse-Pad-2-Count-Value-Pack/product_2498471 Zorilla fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Oct 5, 2022 |

My mouse (original Steelseries Sensei still going strong after 10 years) is getting grody as hell, what's the best kind of cleaning liquid that won't dissolve the plastic? Also how would I go about recoating the shell? My goony sweat palms have eaten away a large chunk but I love this goofy thing so I'm in it for the long haul with spare parts at the ready should anything ever fail.

My goony sweat palms have eaten away a large chunk but I love this goofy thing so I'm in it for the long haul with spare parts at the ready should anything ever fail. Does this have the rubberized soft-touch plastic? When that stuff starts degrading there's no fixing it. I have successfully used acetone to remove the rubberized layer from a thing when it was all nasty. Acetone will also dissolve the hard plastic, but it attacks the rubberized stuff much faster. Wiping acetone onto it with a paper towel turned it into a goo that was easy to scrape off with a blade. End result wasn't exactly pretty -- the acetone makes the hard plastic all streaky looking. But it was clean and not gross. On a mouse, I'd just buy a new dang mouse.

I used some IPA and it's already looking a lot better, thanks. I'm not sure if the sides were rubberized to be honest, if they were it already wore off without becoming a sticky mess (that I'd have remembered). In any case I was more talking about the top of the shell, under my hand, rather than next to my thumb and pinkie. I guess I can contend with slowly chipping paint though.

I think the middle button on my second G Pro Wireless is going bad again. Did they fix this on the new Ultralight one? Any chance their support would upgrade me to that one? Maybe I should consider the Razer Viper v2 Pro.

As far as I'm aware, only the new G502 X series have optical switches. Also, it may not be all of the switches since often they only use them on the main R and L buttons since they get the most use. You could ask about an upgrade but unless they don't have any in stock they usually replace like for like.

My G903 (non-hero) mouse was doing the dreaded logitech double click or no-click thing. I bought some replacement switches and a replacement battery and actually managed to replace the switches and battery on my mouse. Everything seems to be working and I can right click again!! It did take me about three tries to get the mouse back together again, I just couldn't get it to snap together at the end. Found one tiny bracket that was misaligned and all is well. woo!

Back in January I bought a SteelSeries Ultra Lightweight w/Optical Switches mouse. It's mostly fine, but I'm running into an issue with what I could best describe as "missed clicks," where I'll go to click something, I'll hear and feel feedback from the switch that would indicate a click happened, but nothing actually occurs from that action. The only things I could think of that would cause this are either bad switches, or the mouse being light enough that the act of me clicking the mouse is shifting it just enough to be interpreted as a drag. Crossing my fingers that it's the latter: does anyone happen to know if there's a way to decrease the sensitivity for dragging/selecting to help prevent this issue? Or is the solution to just drop my DPI (currently at 3200 DPI) and/or consider a different, heavier mouse?

3200 DPI is pretty ideal for gaming with most modern sensors, if you go lower you're going to start losing response time. You can use a mouse test website to see if it's the drag issue, they just log the mouse up/down events and don't care if you drag. Most likely the switches are failing. You can try blasting air into the shell to see if maybe a speck of dust got into the wrong place and is causing the problem, but odds are that sooner or later you're going to have to either replace the switches or the mouse.

You can use a mouse test website to see if it's the drag issue, they just log the mouse up/down events and don't care if you drag. I assume if you use 3200 DPI you have to lower the Windows cursor speed from the default of 10, right? You're saying that's generally better than keeping the default cursor speed with a lower DPI? Wish I could find this kind of information somewhere but every site still says you should use 800 DPI to be truly pro or whatever.

Interesting, I guess I'll try out 3200 DPI with Windows notch 4/11. Is there a reason to stick with powers of two for DPI or is 3100/3300 for example pretty much the same?

It used to be common for mouse software to let you set CPI in adjustments finer than the sensor itself, with the difference being ignoring e.g. 1 of every 11 counts to adjust from 1100 to 1000. Also known as jitter. I hope any modern mouse is using a sensor that can actually make 100cpi adjustments. There was never anything special about powers of two times 100.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbzs5IFCoMQ More data on why you should be using at least 1600 DPI, preferably more. The counts being weird is likely going to have a more meaningful impact the more difference each count makes. e - also why you should always set your sensitivity by physically measuring your 360, which is something that I've done for more than 10 years.

Do in game sensitivities go low enough to counteract such a high dpi? I play at 800 and have to lower the sensitivity in game down so far already. My Warzone is at 3.5. Don't remember how granular it goes for example.

You raise mouse dpi but lower the windows mouse speed so it's as slow as it was, but it just polls more, is the logic?

Windows sens does not affect 3d sens in anything but some really ancient games. Many of those have source ports with if you actually want to play them. When they don't, you can just drop your DPI for that game. There are some less ancient games that are just technical messes, notably STALKER, which does... whatever the gently caress it wants with mouse DPI for the UI, and pretty much requires you to change your DPI to have the UI be usable. Yes, some games are trash and you can't set your sensitivity well. Something like COD, fundamentally still being Quake derived, is doubtless going to have a way to edit your settings in the config file even if the UI doesn't let you set it with the precision you want. It shouldn't be hard to double or quadruple your DPI and lower sens accordingly in most cases, but do do the ruler check just to make sure it worked properly, otherwise things might feel off even though the mouse is actually working better. You can use windows sensitivity settings, in the old control panel, with acceleration off, of 1, 2, 3 and 4 to reduce your sensitivity by a factor of 16, 8, 4 or 2. Don't use 5, it's not an integer divisor and will give you awful, inconsistent cursor movement. But do try jacking your DPI up and lowering your sens correspondingly, I could notice the difference in responsiveness and smoothness even on the desktop.

cod is granular enough you can go to 100 cm/360 or something unplayably slow at 3200 dpi or w/e using the in-game menu matching sensitivity exactly 1:1 doesn't actually matter b/c the hand-eye-coordination of a pointing task relies very heavily on visual feedback

Had this UtechSmart Venus MMO mouse for 2 years for PvP purposes and it's amazing. Perfect weight, polymer grip, 12 buttons, better software/more programmable buttons that Logitech, trigger button. I bought a Redragon M908 recently as replacement because it looks identical and I thought it was the same mouse/ that Utech was some subsidiary or something, but it's not the same texture at all and feels much cheaper than this mouse. https://www.amazon.com/UtechSmart-Precision-Programmable-Computer-Recommendation/dp/B00FNKMVUO?th=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-rpGhM_Ad8

I've been using a Logitech M510 for a long time. My latest one is starting to have problems catching clicks. Should I consider a different model/manufacturer that is similar but might be better, or just get another 510? Edit: its a failing switch thing. If I click harder it catches them.

Another M510 will likely last just as long, so if you like the mouse and are satisfied with the lifetime you got, just replace it. Mouse switches wear out; the logi problems with early death aren't the switches themselves but how they use them on many models. The models that don't have the problem are fine. If the $20 to replace it has more value than an hour of your time, you can check my guide to cleaning the switch contacts. For mice that worked for years before failing it is highly successful.

I've been using a (wired) Logitech G300s for 6-7 years now. Most appealing aspects are price ($25) and ambidextrous shape/buttons (left-handed). The "Logitech Gaming Software" is fine using On-Board Memory to configure the buttons.  Every two years or so the left-click switch starts to fail. I chuck it and grab a new one from the storage closet.

The sensor on the G300s is absolute trash compared to modern sensors. That and the fact that it's too tall are really the only downsides of the mouse. Top buttons are a huge innovation in mice and it really annoys me that they still are a niche thing.

I have a Logitech G602 mouse and, as of the past two months, it's started saying it's low on battery - even with brand new batteries in it. I just came back from the supermarket with fresh batteries and put them in. The power level indicator on the side is showing just one LED lit up instead of three for full power. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

The 3 leds on the side aren't battery level, they're the DPI setting. The led behind the grid of dots on the top is the battery indicator. It flashes when battery is low, and uses color for mode -- performance (blue) or endurance (green).
