spasticColon posted:It doesn't have to be 36" x 16" the mat just can't be any bigger than exactly 36" x 16" (I checked with a measuring tape) or it won't fit on my desk with my soundbar and my 4K HDTV with its feet that stick out a little bit. But I do want it large enough for both a standard-sized keyboard and mouse for gaming. The Razer one is slightly too long but that SteelSeries one looks nice and it would fit on my desk but it doesn't have the edge stitching or is that not a big deal? It hasn't been an issue for me yet.

After much thought and indecision I finally have my heart set on a mouse+keyboard mat: https://www.amazon.com/Sanag-Washab...aming+mouse+mat Good size, edge stitching, and only $15.

I got a Contour Unimouse off ebay a week or two a go. Have been using it full time since, predominantly in CAD software. I've found a very comfortable position, which is actually in full vertical adjustment. It doesnt feel expensive in any way, it's really light weight and basic plastics all over. But all the functional aspects are solid i.e theres no movement in the hinges and adjustments once you set them in position (though maybe there might be after time and wear) BUT, the sensor seems a little twitchy. I think an element of that is I'm mousing at a slightly different angle, so my muscle memory is out a bit. But I dont think the sensor is as good a quality as I'm used to with the 10 year old Logitech G5 than I'm coming from. It's not severe, but it's enough to make wonder whether I'll stick with it long term. The confusing thing is the Mouse itself has a DPI/Sensor adjustment, 10 increments. And the driver also has "Cursor Sensitivity Control" with 11 increments. I cant really figure out which way round to set them!

Is Steelseries RMA as bad as Razer's? I'm about to return a wonky mouse, though I sort of expect strings attached since I basically got it out of warranty by complaining to their support that I've never had a mouse go bad on me so quick. If it all goes to rot and I have to buy an alternative, is Corsair Harpoon okay? I already own a Corsair keyboard and have their software installed, so I sort of favor their mouse over HyperX or something just to remove some bloat.

I've had a Logitech MX518 since 2010 and half of the buttons don't work anymore, so I guess it's time for a new mouse. Is there anything close to the MX518 in terms of ergonomics and functionality? I play games with it sometimes, but I'm much more interested in something comfortable to use than having a bunch of buttons or a "gamer look".

I went from MX518 (several of them over about 7 years) to Rival to G502 and the G502 is the proper successor I'm pretty sure. Ignore the stupid batmobile aesthetic and feel it in your hand, you'll agree. I like three weights in the back and one in front, but play around, see how you like it.

they day my mx518 stops working is the day i stop playing pc games. i picked up this cutesy Anker 'vertical' mouse on a deal the other day, it just arrived at the office.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIFNTMC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it is nice and comfy but its so light! I dont' think I'll be able to use it if i dont' figure out a way to weigh it down.

e: 7/6: I can no longer recommend the HUGE. Something about it ended up causing more pain and problems for me than a standard trackpad after using it heavily for a few months. Really disappointed, but needed to update my post to reflect the fact that this was a bad choice for me personally in the long run. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Jul 6, 2018 |

So you bought an ergonomic mouse and are going to make it less ergonomic by making it heavier? Anyone know if you can get fresh mouse feet for a G403? Mine are getting trashed, this is the most immediate problem I've had with every Logitech mouse I've owned.

Did you update the firmware? They released an update last week that addressed that issue. It's not in the LGS, but it's a separate executable. http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g403-prodigy-wired-gaming-mouse/downloads Audax fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Any recommendations for a good wired mouse? I keep having problems with wireless mouse lag with how my desk is set up, and I've just always felt more comfortable with a wired connection. I would be upgrading from this dinky little thing, so really, any decent-to-good mouse would be nice. e: I should mention that it would be primarily for gaming (FFXIV and occasional FPS games), optical is preferred, and a long cord would be nice but isn't necessary.

I've been waiting for someone to release a new wired mouse as professional-looking as the G500, but the verticals are awfully tempting. Anyone have experience with vertical mice (preferably wired) for gaming? Are there models that are nice and responsive/easy to pick up/etc? In hand, do they feel like a step down from the G500, etc. in terms of quality?

In hand, do they feel like a step down from the G500, etc. in terms of quality? There only seems to be like two or three different models in all and other companies just put their own branding on them. I use one of these branded by Anker. My friend uses one of these and has a tendency to click the mouse button when lifting it. I play a lot of pubg and I'm the one who usually gets the win for my friend and I when we play duos. I say we get about 1 win a night out of 6-10 rounds. Played a 3 man squad last night and I had 5 kills, friend had 4, and I won the game for the squad last Man standing 1v1. It feels really light in my hands, but it doesn't feel like it's going to break if I squeeze it too hard. For the first few months it felt slippery because of hand oils, but the surface texture eventually wore down and now it feels like picking up a regular mouse. It'll take about a week or so to get used to, but it helps me with my RSI of my wrist. SlayVus fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Mar 31, 2018 |

I'll give one of the Anker-style mice a try - it's cheap enough that there's no reason not to. I'm not terribly competitive, but accidentally clicking when picking up the mouse would drive me nuts.

g603 update: on the 'high' mode it literally feels like using a wired mouse. material is much preferred to the zowie fk; whatever glossy plastic they used on that thing caused it to need cleaning a *lot* to make it not feel horrible (and my hands are pretty clean/dry fwiw). with one battery in it's probably the perfect weight; impressive how light they got the thing without making it into a creaky mess that you can literally crush with your hand (these exist).

The scroll wheel on my G9X has kicked it after 6 years or so, which really isn't a bad run. Poking around it seems like prices on what's left of those are absolutely absurd, so what's my next best replacement? Wired only, budget up to 100 bucks.

Poking around it seems like prices on what's left of those are absolutely absurd, so what's my next best replacement? Wired only, budget up to 100 bucks. Coolermaster 520 ($~30) looks interesting and is not expensive. I haven't held one but it made the list of mice I was looking at. Has the same sensor (3360) as the M65. More radical shape than the M65 or G9x so I was afraid to buy it without trying it and there weren't any in stores. I went with the Corsair Sabre for $40. Slightly worse sensor (upgrade version of the previously best sensor that that 3360 supplanted) but I can't make it spin out and it's still damned good. Sometimes feels too "tall" despite being the same height as the M40 it replaced; I think the bump is distributed differently and it's ever so slightly more awkward to claw grip. Overall I like it but not better than the M40. I will look for a different mouse when it breaks.

My Logitech Anywhere MX mouse is double-clicking way too often to be bearable, but I'm past the 3 year warranty with it. I really like the mouse, but I'm wary of the same thing happening again. Should I get another and just keep getting warranty replacements if this happens again in the future? Or is there a comparable wireless mouse around $40 that won't start double-clicking at random?

How long do you expect a $40 item to last, in any sphere? You're paying under $1/month. I think 3 years is generous.

That's a good way of looking at things, but not what I was getting at, I should have been clearer. My mouse started that a long time ago and I'm worried that I won't get so lucky this time and it'll start it up again in less than 2 years. I'll just get another one and see what happens.
