I would say have you tried plugging it in the bottom but I don't want to summon Ellie under false pretences.

sup, bitch?
my mouse tells me when it’s at 20%, which about every 2 months, and then I plug it in when I go to lunch. I can even use it plugged in like some sort of mouse-by-wire

this is not an endorsement, just saying, they have

also one of the beautiful things about the g pro is that when you need to charge it, you can plug the cable into the front of it and it... becomes a wired mouse

amazing, i know

see if they all did this id love them. but if i were to just leave it plugged in for like three months straight and then unplug it, would the battery be hosed? i dont know if thats still a problem batteries have and i dont want to turn my wireless mouse into a wired mouse permanently

i leave mine unplugged most of the time because the battery life is incredible and using a mouse with a wire is annoying, and then i charge it when the little led starts blinking. it's fine

i was thinking more "leaving your laptop plugged in forever and then its battery lasts like five minutes when you finally unplug it"

My G603 takes two AA batteries. A pair of rechargeable eneloops lasts a month or two. When the low battery light comes on you have like another week of use before it actually dies. Plenty of time to finish your game and swap in the other set you have on the charger.

i stole a box of MS "Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1A"s from an old job in 2002. i'm currently on the 2nd (of 6) so i'm good for mice for a while yet

yeah I have been using a "Wheel Mouse Optical" for years and it's very needs suiting

Tankakern posted:



guess i should stock even more up on them since it seems like microsoft is stopping making them

oh word? I was thinking about upgrading to one, but was gonna wait until the black one came back in stock. which sounds like it may not. maybe I should just get, ugh, white

no mouse needs to be wireless, but it is nice to have one less cord running across your desk. it looks less messy, nothing to tangle up, easier to put away and clear space to do something else, etc.

Elecom deft pro trackball. It's good but the stock bearings were baaaad. It'd be perfect if the ball protruded just a bit more. I really like it but I think if it ever breaks I'm going to get one of the ploopy trackballs, they look good

the ploopy classic just looks like an mste with the serial numbers filed off

might be good, since the OG was prob the best trackball ive ever used

been curious about the deft pro cause ive read that it fixes some of the ergo issues iwth the HUGE, but if it's just lukewarm then eh
