Eh. I had lots of memories on that mouse. I bought a G503, the only reason why I still use it is because I spent $90 on it. Still ok but no where near as good as the G400.

My old syncmaster 3n from 1994, still work and that thing is in use since i bought it, like 3 CRTs, a LCD and a LED display died during that time and this thing just refuse to go. It's fun as now the wall that it points toward is greyish with my silhouette from the radiation kek.

Yep. Bought one from a friend who had it for almost a year. I used it for 5 years, during the time it was dropped, smashed, spilled on, left in the rain etc. It worked perfectly until my dog ate the cable.

and my Zotac 8400 GS.

Right now I am also using a thermaltake TR2 600W in my current rig after my corsair supply went caput. I am surprised that it can handle a 1080 and a i5 6600k. I was told Thermaltake's stuff was shit-tier. Maybe I just got lucky since it has been used for more than 5 years.

not him but I just remapped Caps Lock to be Alt, and Alt to be Command. Model M's Alt key is where the Command key is supposed to be, so it's comfy to press Cmd with the thumb.

MX500 masterrace.

800 dpi is still good enough. Have had mine for almost 15 years. I bought a shitload of replacement feet off of ebay 6 years ago when they were still available. I have no issues with my mx500 whatsoever. But I did buy an mx518 and g400s and they both died in less than a year. I love the shape its perfect for my hand, logitech stopped making the mx500 and it's successors for dumb reasons. Why hasn't any other company copied logitech and made a modernized mx500? Mine is worn as fuck. But still fucking works better than my gf's razer deathadder.

Bought this as a /g/ recommendation in 2012 along with my corsair k70 keyboard.

I have some calculator from the 80's that still works. And a early 90's computer that runs King quest and tie fighter. It works still even after the basement was flooded and it was submerged.

Also my ps1 still works.

except several companies DO have palm mice with a similar shape to the mx500/msie 3.0. It's probably THE most popular shape (and if you wanted that aggressive thumb indentation you'd just buy Logitech for it since that's the main difference you'd be paying for. Also it's not just about the DPI; the newer sensors have flawless tracking (and they're impossible to make malfunction when swiping fast), good liftoff distances, more durable and lighter left/right mouse click buttons, smoother mouse feet, etc. etc. Your mx500 is top dogeshit compared to the Logitech g502 proteus core which has the exact same shape (although it admittedly looks like a meme and has an autistic gaymer name).

TL;DR your old ass mice are vastly inferior to modern mouse technology

CRT from 2005 and the biggest issue I have with it is a band of extremely slight discoloration going along from left to right at the top. I couldn't figure out why there would be a single strip of discoloration.
