I'm looking to replace a G402. I saw that MX518 sale mentioned earlier. I don't need the G402's gamer aesthetic, but the extra button placement is much more convenient on it. $20 is hard to beat, though. The G502 has a big Cyber Monday deal, at only $40, and I like having lots of extra buttons. But I'm a bit wary of logitech at this point. All three I've owned have had scroll wheel button issues. The G402's is completely unresponsive now, but it was always hard to press. Kind of want to try a different manufacturer, but I don't see any great deals atm. The base Harpoon's pretty cheap, but I think I'd miss the 2 extra buttons. e:also, anything to for certain avoid when buying a mouse mat?

Heh, the G502 has 3 distinct ways of pressing the scroll wheel, each with a programable function. I guess that's cool, but I worry about the longevity.

Think I'm gonna get a G604. It's just $5 more than the 502 and I've always wanted to try a wireless mouse. e:did logitech change its warranty to two years from three? Rinkles fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Dec 1, 2020 |

Bought my sister a small wireless Logitech for her laptop. And what do you know, the middle mouse button is rear end.

Sucks but I think I'm gonna have to return the 604. It's just too heavy for me. Switching back to the my old mouse was a literal relief. It was a stark difference. I also don't like the mouse wheel, but I could probably learn to live with it (the horizontal tilt shift is cool though). Not sure where this leaves me. Apparently the G502 isn't that much lighter. 402s aren't in production anymore (my last mouse). Might get an MX518, but I'd miss the 402's button layout. Don't know much about other brands.

Does anyone turn off their mice when they're not using them, or do mice use little enough energy in standby that it's not a concern?

If I'm returning a mouse that came with a AA, should I take the battery out or leave it in (maybe put it in backwards)? I think I threw away the little paper tab that blocked the contacts.

I got a G502 and Basilisk V2 with the intent to return the Razer, but I gotta say I like it (I just don't want to spend that much on a mouse). Great weight, good wheel, all around just sits well. The clicks are a bit noisy, and logitech has better auxiliary button positioning, but it feels like love at first touch. Idk that I can justify the price tag, but it's gonna be a harder decision than I was expecting. G502 is a step up over the G604 I just returned, but is still heavier than I'd like, even without any of the weights. I remained unimpressed by the metal wheel, but for once I found a logitech with a decent middle click. If it was just a bit lighter I'd be pretty happy with it, given the price. As is I'm not sure. e:but drat, the basilisk is pretty loud. it's the first time i've even paid attention to click noise.

Using a modifier key is a neat way of mapping more functions. Hypershift on a Razer, G-Shift on a Logitech. But with Logitech the modifier is also sniper button, it serves both functions. I don't see that option with the Razer. I can set the paddle to be the Hypershift key, but this overrides its function. So it's becomes just a modifier button. Does anyone know if I can set it up to work like it does with Logitech? Rinkles fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jan 11, 2021 |

Why do some people want heavier mice? Mostly out of habit? This basilisk feels so much better to me than the g502 I'm wondering if something even lighter (like the viper) would be a proportional improvement.

Sniper button no longer works as the g-shift key. I'm not sure if I did something or the software's bugging out. I can't find an option to reset to default settings (it's only available for onboard memory). Also for whatever reason, you can't g-shift scroll up or down. e:a reboot fixed it. in general, not a fan of G hub. e2:it happened again. this time with my old mouse.

The Basilisk retains the G502/402's ridge at the left end of the LMB. Except they took off G7 and G8, so I keep trying to hit buttons that feel like they're there but aren't.

Seeing that I was unsatisfied with all the mice I'd recently tried, my sister decided to buy me... a Naga Trinity for a laugh. It's chunky and a bit heavy, but I can't deny the swappable side panels are neat. It's seems well made. And the clicking on the numpad side panel feels so good. The middle click is near perfect. So light! (idk if these things are just luck of the draw) The circular side panel has just the right amount of buttons I'd like, but my thumb rests in slightly forward of where I think Razer was intending.

Does a mouse like this exist: -lightweight, no more than ~90g -index finger button(s), like on a g502 -ideally with an extra thumb button in addition to mouse 4 and 5 (like a sniper button) ? I'm guessing the fact that most lightweight mice don't have many buttons isn't coincidental.

Roumba posted:Maybe the G402 if you drill some speed holes in it? 90g seems pretty tough to reach. I'm actually upgrading from the G402 (it double clicks). I've been considering picking up a new one if I can find one cheap. But since discovering how great lightweight mice feel, I'd prefer something lighter. Twerkdad posted:Although no index finger buttons, the Razer Basilisk X is 92g with a thumb button With a AA it ends up weighing a fair bit more. I tried out the slightly more expensive Basilisk V2, and I liked it a lot, but it was far enough from perfect for me to not want to spend that much money on. On that note I'm now trying out a Deathadder v2. Its lightness actually makes up for its lack of buttons to an extent, cause you don't need a dedicated shortcut if just moving your mouse is that much less of an exertion. Still it's expensive and I would really miss at least having a "sniper" button (I never use it for that function). But it has convinced me that I really want a lightweight.

I'm using an old, cheap M+K logitech wireless combo (MK260, with 2.4Ghz dongle) for tv PCing, but recently its started to have connectivity issues. Sometimes it'll be a bit slow, sometimes some buttons won't work, sometimes nothing will work. I changed the batteries so its not that. I couldn't wake the computer with it after a while (worked after reinserting after waking). Is this likely the reciever dying? Should I just get something new?

i added 2 external hdds at a similar time, but i hadn't used the M+K combo in years, so can't say for sure that it's related. but what you describe is exactly what i've experienced, including the occasional delays. i'll see if i have a usb extender somewhere.

Question: do people use the sideways scroll buttons, and with what function? I'm finding I'm using them less than I thought I would. e:for instance, it's not a comfortable middle click substitute Rinkles fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Mar 12, 2021 |

runawayturtles posted:The fact that the Basilisk has sideways scroll at all is my biggest complaint with it. It's awkward to use intentionally, but often happens unintentionally while middle-clicking, and screws up whatever I'm trying to do. Additionally, it might be partially responsible for the stiff middle click. Saukkis posted:Alternative approach, replace the sideways scrolls with middle-click. In my experience tilting the wheel is better middle-click than pressing it. It still doesn't feel great, especially repeatedly. My favorite alt-middle click was one of the extra top buttons on the g402 (also on the 502).

I get that there's not much incentive from the manufacturer's side, but I wish this stuff was made with user reparability/maintenance in mind. Such a waste to toss the whole thing when it's often just one part that's worn down.

Idk if this'll be relevant to you, but a comfortable middle click substitute ended up being my defining criteria when looking for a G402 replacement (I ended up getting a new one). There were some mice I rather liked (notably the Basilisk V2) but I couldn't stand the stiff middle mouse buttons. I thought I could adjust, but that just resulted in a lot of unnecessary middle finger pain. The G402 has two extra index finger buttons; I use the top one as the middle click substitute. It's a light and comfortable click. Those buttons are actually pretty rare on mice, sadly. I tested a G502, which has the same buttons and I got it for the same price, but I didn't like how heavy it was. Also wasn't a fan of the scroll wheel.
