unpronounceable posted:My Corsair Scimitar Pro is double clicking, so I'm looking for a new mouse. I don't care about adjustable dpi or lights, but I do like having a bunch of programmable buttons. Size wise, it was good, but I liked my Logitech G602 a bit better. Actually, if it were available, I'd probably just get another one. idk if the Razer Basilisk V2 has enough buttons for you, but it's an excellent mouse for the price. Solid build, optical switches, PTFE mousefeet, flexible cable. It doesn't have as many side buttons as your old mouse and the Rival 5, but you can rebind and sideclick the middle mouse button like logitech mice. It doesn't have infinite scroll though. You can also use the sniper button as hypershift which let's you program another set of macros to any button. If you palm grip the mouse, you should have no problem hitting the sniper button. I use a claw grip and have to shift my grip to hit it though so it mostly goes unused. e: it's 70 CAD right now on amazon and bestbuy CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jul 23, 2021 |

Surprise T Rex posted:If they're all broadly the same for comfort, I think I'm knocking the Corsair out of the running just because it doesn't have tilt on the mouse wheel (which I find super helpful scrolling around the web/code, plus extra MMO keybinds). Between the Naga Pro and the G600 though, I'd struggle to decide. I'm not sure whether the ring-finger button on the G600 would be good or bad, but Razer products don't have a stellar reputation for longevity. Could just be my experience, but Razer products have been better quality than Logitech ones for a while now. The Razer optical switches are great too.

K8.0 posted:list of optical switch mice From the top of my head: Razer, Roccat, Steelseries(only their Prime mice), Coolermaster MM731. Probably missing a mouse or two. Honorable mention to some Asus mice that let you hotswap the switches which also gets around the double click issue. Kitfox88 posted:Looking for a corded mouse with at least three buttons and a scroll wheel, been using a logitech g300 for a year or so and have found it fine but the left clicker is failing and so I’m kinda against dropping cash for a new one after it only lasting that long. Don’t need anything fancy, are there any suggestions for a sturdy enough mouse to swap for it that won’t break the bank? Try any mouse from the above list. Even better if you can give it a shot in person to see if you like the shape. All of them except Coolermaster should have a wired option that fits your criteria while also being inexpensive.

Klyith posted:That brings up an interesting question: how many people here, in your normal mouse grip, have your fingers in A vs B? B. But I also use my middle finger to scroll not my index finger. A / 131 style is just weird to me. Also it feels cramped with all 3 fingers across the top unless you have a seriously wide mouse.

Thoom posted:How are the Razer drivers these days? Aside from the dumb cloud login thing, I mean. When I last used a Naga, Synapse was terrible and could often take a second or more to recognize I'd alt tabbed and switch profiles. Is that fixed? Do they have any compatibility with UWP/Game Pass games? I've heard synapse 3 is less terrible / buggy than 2, but I've used it for maybe 40 mins or so while I set up my mouse profiles, reassigning mouse buttons, dpi settings and to turn off rgb. You only need to have synapse running if you want to use something besides the default RGB. iirc even basic macros work without synapse, but if you want to assign a button to open a program then you need to use it. At least now you can use synapse offline as a guest and you don't need to make an account to log in

K8.0 posted:Unbelievably bad, but so is all mouse software. You can't fully turn RGB off no matter what, profile saving to mouse straight up doesn't work so you have to run Synapse if you want RGB even mostly gone, and if it decides to install Cortex on you you've got a huge backdoor open that eats a few hundred megs of unpageable memory every hour. This is just straight up not true at all.

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:So my G502 Lightspeed has a the switch problem on the back button, of all buttons. It double clicks about 3/4 of the time, and the other 1/4 it normal clicks. I didn't expect this to be as annoying as it is, but since I'm often going through tons of nested folders for work, it's actually proven to be incredibly annoying. I believe I'm just outside of warranty (e: checked, by 7 days lmao), and given I live in a city in SEA where warranty void if removed stickers are totally legal, the warranty companies Logitech and other big companies outsource to will absolutely deny you warranty without original receipt which I've probably lost, and the idea of post-sale customer support is a wholly alien concept, I doubt they're going to be kind to me. Pretty sure the optical switches are just for the main buttons. If you can spare the extra 20 bux, I'd get the bundle with the charging dock. It's nice to be able to just throw it on there at the end of the day / once in a while and never have to worry about the charge getting low.

I'm glad that another company has decided to copy the 3rd mouse button / g shift key. I hope EVGA releases a wireless version sometime in the future because that would definitely great.

Bumper Stickup posted:Hey so my Logitech G502 hero has started to drop clicks on the left click after about 2 years of use. Did some googling and this seems to be a common issue with this series with only temp fixes for it. Anybody have recommendations for something similar so I can replace it? Or just recommendations in general? Bought this one purely because it was weighted, the weight was adjustable, and it had the side buttons right under my thumb. The Razer Basilisk has the same shape. The basilisk v3 and ultimate both have optical switches, so they won't start double clicking. I guess it doesn't have adjustable weights if that was a big deal for you. I can't think of any modern mice besides the g502 that still have adjustable weights.

Just to add to this: You can also buy a knockoff dock for like 20bux and it works just as well. I also just swap between the 2 and 6 button layout most of the time. The size of the buttons never bothered me on 6 and 12 button sideplate attachments and the clicks are solid and responsive while not being mushy. e: I was wrong. It's still micro usb on the actual mouse. The knockoff dock I'm using is connected with usb-c, which is where I got confused.

Kestral posted:For the Basilisk, since the Ultimate has onboard profiles, does that mean you can uninstall Synapse after the initial setup? And if so, will the RGB stay off via those onboard profiles? I would dearly love to never interact with Razer software again, but being able to turn RGB off and keep it off is a must. You can turn off the rgb and it will stay off.

HolHorsejob posted:Anyone got a good rec for a mouse in the $60ish range? My razer atheris is turning off randomly for minutes at a time, looking for something similar (portable, not too small, thumb buttons). Build quality I'd want to max out, with bonus points for: The orochi v2 seems to have the same shape and dual bt/wireless connectivity. It also fits the price range. It doesn't have wired charging or use. It uses AA or AAA batteries but you can use rechargeable ones. I assume you can probably use any razer dongle for it.

Vegetable posted:As someone with a glass desk, a glass mousepad sounds like a real bad idea. It’s gonna get grimy and fingerprinty real quick, and there’s nothing you can do about it, short of wearing gloves. The only reason I haven’t gotten rid of my glass desk is because I can’t find a way to get it out the bedroom door. Glass bad. The surface and texture are different enough that it's not a grime or fingerprint magnet. Just wiping it down once in a while keeps it clean too.

Ofecks posted:Thanks! I think I could do the ASUS, providing there are instructions, and I'm told where to buy new switches and what type I'd need for the particular model. There will be instructions in the box. iirc they even include another set of switches in the box. And you can buy omron or kailh or any other 3 pin mouse switch from amazon. I do remember seeing a list of compatible mouse switches, but it was pretty long so it's almost certainly not an issue. I don't think the mice ran on AA batteries though. That Kone Air looks neat. I would've assumed that there weren't any mice that used AA batteries and optical switches, but I guess there is one. Hope it works out for you.

change my name posted:I've had it happen to literally every Logitech mouse I've ever owned within a year Haha welp  neogeo0823 posted:Oh, it's not the scroll wheel, it's the middle mouse button. The scroll wheel works just fine, but the button really seems to only work if I press down at a specific angle. It also will sometimes work if I blow into the mouse at the button, but only for a bit. Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood what you meant. I have heard about middle clicks not registering / straight up breaking(lol corsair mice) from a good amount of people. Seems like it's still equally unreliable across all brands. So idk, just go to bestbuy and try a bunch in hand to see which is the most comfortable to use in your price range. Then accept that it might work for long time or die in a year.  e: for inexpensive suggestions: I recently bought a wired razer cobra for a friend and the scroll wheel and middle click seem solid. It's inexpensive(and frequently goes on sale to even less) and has optical switches for LMB/RMB so at the very least those won't die on you. Though it's probably still a coin flip for longevity of the middle click. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Sep 24, 2023 |

Philthy posted:Are there any mice that are equivalent to the mod-able keyboards? That is to say, completely able to be opened, cleaned, maintained, maybe the shells with multiple colors, weights and switches and wheel types that are swappable from clicky / bumpy to not? Asus mice are probably as close as you are going to get. They are designed to be opened up without removing the mouse feet. The switches are hotswappable. The newest mice even let you use optical or mechanical switches. The mouse wheel is still soldered in, but at least you can clean it(or remove if it you want to do some soldering). And you can probably swap out the battery pretty easily too since it's just sitting there once you pop off the shell. idk if they sell different colored shells.

Philthy posted:Got the Asus Gladius III. It's a nice form factor, comes apart easily and comes with clicky and light clicky swappable button switches. I put the quieter ones in and they sound good. The wheel is complete and total garbage, though. It has a single post it's connected to, and the other side of the wheel is just resting on a button all loose. It makes rattle noises with no way to fix it. It's way too light and cheap feeling. This is ultimately a $15 mouse being sold for $80. I've got a Razer Basilisk on the way to see how that compares. Well that's disappointing  I wonder if the v3 Basilisk will have a nice scroll wheel. I think it's using a magnetic system to adjust the tension. They redid it after the v2 one was poorly received because it could sometimes have problems registering scrolls or double scrolling. Almost certainly because of their manually adjustable tension system. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jan 15, 2024 |

Arivia posted:Corsair has an MMO mouse that I can get at a reasonable price. Unless the recent versions of the Naga come with those laser switches that don't develop double clicking over time, I'll probably go with that. The Redragon has the ridge in the middle of the side button grid (splitting it into two sets of six) which is what I hated most about the G600, so that's a no-go for me. Optical switches do not develop double clicking.
