Wengy posted:What's a good gaming mouse that doesn't loving squeal? My Logitech G500 has started to emit a horribly annoying high-pitched sound and it appears to be a common problem with this model. I'm pretty happy with it and I've had it for a few years, but if this persists I'll have to replace it with something that, you know, doesn't squeal. Im also super sensitive to electronic humms and buzzing. My logitech g pro does not do it. The sensor for their top end wireless mice is supposedly extremely power efficient and this may contribute to the overall quietness. It also the bar none best gaming mouse i have ever used. My stats went up noticeably from my previous deathadder chroma.

Wengy posted:G Pro looks pretty awesome and not as annoyingly gameriffic as the G500, will check it out, thanks its absolutely not needed and definitely a waste of money but its also compatible with the lightspeed wireless charging mousepad. The g pro already had a super long battery life but its cool having a wireless that never needs charging

Wengy posted:That looks cool indeed, but I do have a metal desk - won't this cause issues? I've also read that the little door thingy on the bottom of the G-Pro is magnetic, wouldn't it 'stick' to the surface of my desk? This is more complicated than I thought. as long as the mousepad is on top of the desk there would not be any blocking of the signal from the mousepad to the mouse. The magnet is aligned on a horizontal plane so there should be very little attraction downward.The magnet is also far too weak and deep in the mouse far from the bottom and the mousepad too thick. There are YT reviews where a metal desk is used and no issues are mentioned. Its just like a wireless phone charging pad but much larger and lower output. Those have no issues with being on a metal desk either. I have been using it underneath my jumbo mousepad and the signal gets through just fine Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Dec 6, 2018 |

Corsair and razer let you remap anything to anything.

Ofecks posted:Numpads aren't going away are they? I definitely need mine, as I was absent during most of 10th grade typing class during the number lessons, so I'm effectively garbage at touch-typing those. Plus alt-codes, gaming function (autocast in Diablo 3 and DCSS), and quick calculator stuff. only for fps gamers who need huge mousepad space because they play with low sens. The rest of us still use them all the time. At least so far every top of the line "gaming" keyboard that is tenkeyless also has a full form model. Most people dont need them, they just like to pretend they are an esport athlete who travels with their mouse and keyboard.

Klaaz posted:I am about to order a LogitechG Pro wireless but it seems to have some doubleclick issues in quite some cases. It's hard to tell if these are just incidental problems or something that is really an issue with this exact mouse. Anyone know anything about this? that was an early batch issue. It doesnt develop, you have it or you dont. Polls I have seen show 88% of owners reporting no issues. If you poll only people who bought in the last month its even better. RJN did a recent poll on exactly that and it seems to be fine. Logitech will ship you a new one if you have it.

If it's gaming zowie is just about the only universally liked mouse brand without some major problem. Razer and Logitech are both fine. They just sell so much product that the sample size of defective ones seems bigger. If you are going wireless, the g pro is the only lightweight low latency low power draw mouse on the market. Personally I don't like steelseries based on my personal bad experience with repeated defects on the same device through multiple rmas. Also you can't really find the mouse you like and stick with it over the years because they keep overhauling their design

If you just want a cheap high performance mouse there are many good options. Even no name mice with a 3360 sensor will perform with the best mice. The 3360 is the same sensor you will find in many high performance mice. I have used the https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Performance-PixArt-Precision-Applications/dp/B071J9JC6S/ and would recommend it to anyone who just wants high value. It doesnt need any special drivers and the DPI is adjustable with a button on the bottom. You can go even more barebones down to like $20 with no lights or finer dpi level. The cheap stuff will feel cheap but the performance is the same.

I got the shipping notice for my finalmouse air58 today. I cant wait to see how just ok it is before I flip it for quadruple to some hypebeast. The Odin model O is what im most excited about. Looks to be an improved finalmouse ultralight at a more reasonable price point for what is essentially plastic and the same sensor everyone uses.

12 is pretty much the limit. Most people arent crazy enough to need more. I liked the 1st gen Naga when it had membrane side buttons. Im sure its even nicer with the new mech buttons. I wouldnt pay full price for it though. They do go on sale frequently on sites like Woot. Have you tried using something like the Orbweaver? I used one along with my normal M+KB when I used to play MMOs and needed to have tons of extra keybinds. I used it as a dedicated macro deck to great success

If its the right size for your hand its extremely light and low fatigue. The sensor is one of the best easily. My K/D has markedly improved by at least 15% over the razer deathadder which I have been using as my primary mouse in some form over the last 8 years.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:I mean, so does a cord that has a modicum of thought put into its placement. The best cord in the best bungee will always affect the mouse drag more than wireless. Only the small brands do paracord. I think major guys like razer have a durability or signal interference standard that it doesnt meet or they would be doing it too. Logitech doesnt have to because they managed to get near wired latency in wireless.

I have what I consider medium hands at 18x9cm and I can just barely palm grip mine, so its probably great for fingertip and claw. I think it was designed with claw in mind because of how relatively low and short it is. Im pretty sure the Odin is more of a palm grip mouse for med-large as its about the same size and shape as a finalmouse ultralight and I have to palm that one because of how tall the hump is  compared to

Seems logical that I should lower things since it's easier to move the mouse around. I think a lot of that stuff is trying to find excuses for why they arent good rather than trying to improve. Are the feet sliding well? Then dont replace them. Are you able to comfortably hold it? then dont add grips. Hyperglide feet and lizardskins grips are the popular pick for everything

Atomizer posted:Well there are differences in materials (e.g. fabric vs hard plastic or even metal,) thickness (which may or may not be an issue for your setup,) and size (from like 4x6" portable to full 1x4' or whatever to go under both your mouse and keyboard.) On top of that there are RGB and wireless charging options. So a "gaming" mousepad isn't necessarily "better," but there are definitely options to consider. Most "gaming" mousepads are just the same as any cloth one you can find at an office supply store but with gamer branding. Once it gets dirty its junk and you can never clean it well without loosening the weave. Purpose built gaming ones make a real difference with tighter cloth weaves and lower friction threads. This is my current favorite, its glass impregnated cloth https://www.artisan-jp.com/fx-shidenkai-eng.html Its extremely low friction, I can lightly flick the mouse and it slides across the whole surface. The soft foam core gives it very sharp stops for flick shots when your hand is on the mouse putting weight down. The feeling is similar to a hard plastic one but because of the soft core you dont get the super jittery crosshair when playing high sens. Its really the best of both types, you get low friction and control but it does wear out faster than standard cloth. I put it over the powerplay mat and it charges fine
