This thread is relevant to my interests.

I have a Logitech Anywhere MX and I'm eyeing the next version for a work mouse. They came down in price, but so did the MX Master.

Thoughts?

Even though everybody wants a lighter mouse, those are included because it can be listed as a feature. That's why they're always removable. It doesn't improve anything but the marketability.

Everything Zowie and Mionix. Logitech mice will run but their botnet spyware that lets you set custom keybindings while it reports your "user habits" (every running process and browsing data if you use IE/Edge/Firefox/Chrome) won't work.

Getting a new mouse.

My mice purchases have gone from the Mx1000 or w/e that top-end Logitech wireless mouse was in 2005, to $20 wired mice. To a Mionix Avior 7000 that was faulty, to deciding on a G900. I'm thinking the buttons moving to the side and the holes in the design will annoy me, should I get a 403 instead ?

I do like ambi dex mice, can't recall using one that's aimed for a single hand. I claw grip too.

My mx518 is starting to die. Lasted for about 7 years. Still tried with warranty but nothing, as expected.

I'm thinking about getting a Roccat Pure Kone. I've tried a lot of mice and this feels great for my small hands and it's also a claw mouse. Funny how the mx518 is fairly large and is a palm mouse yet I still used it for this long. I'm worried about the reliability though.

Can anyone offer anything regarding Roccat mice?
>>
>>57595598
Magnetic buttons feel like normal buttons when they're in place. You get both sides, so you have 4 buttons on the side, even though your off side is kinda awkward to press.
403 is lighter, but doesn't have the free scrolling or +/- dpi.
>>
>>57595907

I bought one of those funky newer "gaming" mice, you know, the ones in the "gaming" section instead of the "computer peripheral" section. The button click pressure was completely inconsistent, and the left mouse button only registered about 80% of the time.

Aggravating as fuck. Give me a reliable, old mouse, with textured plastic over some new piece of shit with pseudo-rubber finish that wears off in under a week.

Can you guys recommend some decent wireless kb+m combos for no more than $50 combined?

I'll be using it with my Steam Link, so I just need something that isn't completely awful with at least 2 side buttons on the mouse.
I'm thinking a compact keyboard without a numpad is the way to go, but I'm a little apprehensive using about the flat keys for gaming.

>>57596113

I have friends who have gone through nearly half a dozen mice while I've used the same one always

How is the G900?

It's expensive as hell and seems to have fewer programmable buttons as the G502 yet seems to advertise it has the same tracking and everything else.

Is it more comfortable is it actually better than the G502?

>>57596211
I liked it better than the 502, the 502 has such a fucking awful cable it's not even usable as a mouse.

I found the G900 more comfortable as well and yes the tracking was flawless. However with the release of the G403 I can't even recommend the 900 unless you want an ambidextrous mouse with hyperscrolling.
>>
>>57596230
The cable really? Alright that's an unusual complaint.
For me the biggest complaint is the fact the hyperscrolling tends to move around still when I stop but the cable itself doesn't bother me.
>>
>>57596254
I had to use some additional mousefeet on the 502 as well because the stock ones weren't thick enough and the bottom of the mouse was scratching my Alioth XXL. I went back to my Avior 7000 until I got the G900.
>>
>>57595805
More like a mad katz mouse.

also
>>57596230
>ambidextrous
Okay wait that was the main thing that I was looking for on why it was probably expensive.
>>

I probably would have got the G403 if it had the hyperscrolling.

I prefer the weight to be back in the palm, and this isn't even a valid point, it's always in the same spot so it doesn't matter at all.

I really love the xornet II shape but the sensor is real fucking shit. Not placebo 1 pixel skipping acceleration shit but real world perceptible 50x pixel cursor skipping shit.

My current mouse is a g303 cut nearly in half to the length of the xornet because I use a fingertip grip.

>>57597390
Same here. But something is wrong with the cable with my Mx518. It disconnects randomly. Should I open it and have a look? Would I be able to put the feet back?
>>
>>57597423
apparently this is a common problem with the MX518 (and G400), but I never had the issue with either one

I'm guessing you have the newer MX518 with only 3 feet? I opened up my G400 and was able to sort of put them back on, but never as well as before. Be careful that you don't just rip off the feet, leaving the adhesive on the mouse (it's possible and if that happens, you're not getting them on again). You can probably buy replacements on ebay, though

I guess switching from the superior 5 small feet to 3 feet that cover up the screws is just another way of them trying to keep people from fixing stuff themselves.
>>
>>57595503
There's a bunch of MX518 being sold on Ebay from chink sellers. Are those legit or just fakes?

Heres a very dumb anecdote.

My friend came over a day before yesterday. I had something to do in the house so I just left him in my room. He browsed the internet for a good 15~20 minutes and then we left the house.
So tomorrow I ask him, didn't you notice anything? Hes like no what? I'm like I bought a G403. Hes like you WHAT? When? Few days ago you had it in your hand for like 20 minutes didn't you notice. And hes like what? No. What?
He uses a G400 just like me. So yeah he didn't even notice he had the G403 in his hand.
I'd say it's really close.
>>
Question - what exactly makes a sensor "perfect"? I see this claim being put out but never an actual definition or criteria by which it's measured.

Also, does the position of the sensor on the mouse affect your feel of it?

Is there any mouse out there, which clicks do not wear out after just 1 year?

What do you consider living?

2004 - MX510 - Still works fine double clicks right click sometimes, school wheel very worn out. Still works for normal browsing and RTS games and such.
2008 - G5 Rev 2 - Still works makes weird sounds on clicks that sometimes don't register. I used this as my laptop mouse.
2012 - G400 still works fine but the click feel sort of worn out. No double clicks or anything. The plastic connected to the switches is lose so they make a sound if you lightly tap them. That got too irritating so I bought a new one.
2016 - G403 well it's a few days old so nothing.
