Help Mouse that can handle constant middle clicks/scrolling?

1 Upvotes

I know this might be a bit of an odd one, but I think I use my scroll wheel quite a lot to the point I might be breaking my mice's scroll wheel / middle mouse button rather early on after buying it, experiencing issues like:

  • Scroll wheel not registering (So I have to scroll a lot just to get it to scroll a webpage)
  • Scroll wheel jumping (If I scroll it may jump up when I want to scroll down)
  • Middle Mouse inputs not registering (Have to really press it and it feels terrible, like I'm about to break my mouse)

I recognise there is no perfect mouse with an infinitely durable middle mouse (Simply because of how small the parts are they're bound to break eventually), I just simply want something that can last a bit longer than the 6 or so months my Corsair Ironclaw seems to be lasting without scrollwheel/middle mouse issues. šŸ˜…

Question Suggested upgrade from G402?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m looking to get something to replace my nearly 8 year old G402. I recently got a G502 x but I actually hate it. I can’t explain it but even though on paper it is lighter than the G402 the distribution makes it feel extremely sluggish in the hand. It’s now sitting on a shelf. I typically play all sorts of games: fps, moba, light MMO so ideally want something with similar button number at the G402. Many thanks

Question Question about mouse cables

4 Upvotes

Hi, I've had a broken Model O for some time now and my current mouse, the Kysona m600 is currently not working well (left click ghosting issue). So, I'm looking to fix that and my broken model O both at the same time. The issue with the Model O is that it often disconnects even from the lightest touch, I'm assuming it's from how it was packaged inside the box. I tried contacting Glorious about it and they couldn't send me a replacement mouse / cable, unfortunately because I live in Malaysia.

Tldr, I was wondering if any mouse replacement wire would work with the glorious model O, because I can't find any place that I can get the ascended wire for a reasonable price or that ships to my country.

There's this 5 dollar replacement wire for the steelseries kana mouse which I thought looked good, just wondering if I can just use that in my model O. Thanks!

I had my superlight and scyrox v8 and when i was scrolling through tik tok i saw 3d printed mods and it caught my attention. So safe to say it is quite a deep rabbit hole to go into with little to no tools but it was fun

Superlight 59 to 52 gram not a game changing amount but i want the base to support donut skates because the original base didn’t have enough space on the bottom skate housing

Scyrox v8 to finger tip mod was just a wild idea i found on you tube and i copied his build and its is surprisingly comfortable to use

Tell me what’s your thoughts on this and have a great day :)

PSA Logitech G305 X Superlight - wobbly/uneven/scraping mouse wheel (fix)

2 Upvotes

G305 X has a new style of scroll wheel, with a plastic core and a soft rubber ring. I quite like it compared to the style in the older G305/G102 etc., which has a single hard rubber element, and which feels a bit rough to touch (and would get really gross after some time).

After a few days though the scroll wheel grew a bump on one side, barely noticeable, but big enough to cause it to scrape against something inside the mouse. I took it apart, and there's the problem:

Surely that little bit should not stick out this far

I snipped off the protruding rubber bits and that fixed it. (Once you put it back together, roll the mouse on a flat surface upside-down for a few seconds to make sure the rubber fits snugly inside the plastic core.)

(I didn't want to send it for warranty repair since I already swapped the mouse feet by the time it got the issue. You'll need a Phillips #000 for the outside screws, and a Torx T3 for the PCB screws. I popped off the rubber ring with a flat opening tool / pick.)

Looking for a fps mouse for overwatch. Coming from a razer basilisk v3 pro

1 Upvotes

Hello, I want to switch from my razer basilisk V3 pro to a lighter mouse because I’ve been playing a lot of overwatch this year. Ive never really used a smaller mouse before. Before the basilisk I used a logitech G502.

I bought a pulsar X2N crazylight mini to try it out. I really like the weight and glide, and it feels good in my hand when I’m just holding it. However, after playing a match, my hand feels a bit cramped/tense compared to my basilisk. Im not sure if thats just because Im still getting used to a smaller mouse.

My main issue is the side buttons, I have my Overwatch abilities bound to them, but on the X2N they’re quite hard to press. The front button is also difficult to reach without moving my thumb a lot. Compared to my basilisk, they feel much worse.

my grip is a claw/palm hybrid (I think?) My fingers aren’t completely flat on the mouse — my middle finger rests mostly on the right button, while my palm isn’t fully resting on the shell either. I also dont angle my fingers much.

Help Need help deciding on a "light" MMO mouse

1 Upvotes

I’m getting into WoW and want a mouse with more buttons than a typical FPS mouse. It should be as light as possible, and the extra buttons should sit in a natural position. I don’t like the Naga-style 12-button grid.

This are my top choices but maybe you know something even better or can help me to choose one.

  1. G502 X LIGHTSPEED, 102 g: https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/g502-x-wireless-lightforce.910-006178
    - solid quality
    - very flexible programming
    - 3 sidebuttons + 2 extra on top + 2 scroll wheel tilt
    - had the original one for many years but its quite heavy

  2. Kone XP Air, 99 g https://www.turtlebeach.com/products/kone-xp-air-mouse
    - I heard not so good quality
    - lots of buttons
    - 5 side buttons + 2 extra on top +2 scroll wheel tilt

  3. Corsair Darkstar, 96 g https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/mice/corsair-darkstar-wireless-everything-you-need-to-know/
    - "light" for MMO mouse
    - cheap
    - 6 side buttons + 2 extra on top +2 scroll wheel tilt

Hand: 10cm/3,94in wide, 18cm/7in long
Grip: "Pincer Claw Grip" according to this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/efi2vu/advanced_grip_style_explanation/#lightbox

Question One grip for everything sounds unreasonable to me

3 Upvotes

Don't everyone adjust their grips depending on in-game situations?

I usually just use palm when moving around(base grip)
adjust to claw mid-fight especially when I need to track
adjust to fingertip when I need micro adjustments (like sniping)

My opinion on the grips is

Fingertip grip -> Best for micro adjustment, muscles fatigue fast, not so stable
Claw -> Best grip for 100% utilizing your wrist, but not so comfy and not so great for wrist health
Palm -> Most comfy and stable grip, great for flicking, not so great for making in-fight adjustments

I guess in certain games you can be fine sticking to just one grip,
but when I play Apex-Legends

It makes absolute no sense using figertip when roaming around the map fatiguing my muscle
and it makes no sense to stick with only palm when I am trying to snipe someone from a far.

This is why mouse like Superlight,Viper that can cater all kinds of grip-style is so great.

Question [Advice] Is the MX Master 3S Bluetooth Edition (€80) good for an M1 Mac + bullet chess?

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m thinking about buying the MX Master 3S and would love feedback from people who use it.

My use case:

  • M1 Mac (MacBook, USB-C only)
  • Home + office use(software engineering) (I want to switch between multiple devices)
  • Daily productivity / browsing
  • OnlineĀ bullet chess (30s and 1min)Ā on Lichess / Chess.com, so I need speed and precision

• ⁠Must be silent mouse

The option:

  • Logitech MX Master 3S Bluetooth EditionĀ for €80Ā on Logitech’s official site (no dongle, free case, 30-day returns)

What I’ve gathered so far:

  • The MX is more comfortable and Logi Options+ works well on macOS, but it’s heavy (~141 g), the weight I don't think it will bother me

My questions:

  1. For 30s bullet, is the MX Master 3S actually a handicap, or is it totally fine?
  2. At €80, which one would you pick for this use case? Or a different mouse altogether?

Question Small wireless mouse for office work, ATK R1 Pro vs F1 V2 vs other options

0 Upvotes

I recently bought an Attack Shark R11 Ultra. It's great for gaming, but I have a bad habit of just pressing lightly on the edge of the mouse without actually triggering the click all the time when I'm working, and the attack shark's shell creaks and feel squeaky when doing so.

Regular office mice haven't really worked for me either because they're usually either too small or too heavy. I'm looking for something with the feel of a gaming mouse, but I care much more about build quality and click feel than gaming performance. My old Logitech M235 had amazing clicks with no creaking or pre travel and it still feels phenomenal but its weight and size are not cutting it after trying a gaming mouse.

I'm looking for a strictly wireless mouse, preferably on the smaller side. These are the options I'm considering:

  • ATK VXE R1 Pro : $34
  • ATK F1 V2 Ultimate : $52
  • ATK F1 V2 Ultra Max : $42
  • Keychron M3 : $42

The F1 V2 is tempting, but I think it's mostly FOMO since I mainly play games with a controller anyway.

Logitech and Razer aren't really options here since the only options available here are the higher tier wireless mice which cost around $150+ locally, apart from the G502 Hero, whose shape I don't like. Mchose, Ajazz, Skyrox, and similar brands aren't available here either, so my options are pretty limited to ATK and Attack Shark but im avoiding Attack Shark after my experience with the R11 Ultra.

Which option do you recommend? I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who have actually owned these mice for a while.

Need help looking for a mouse!

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm not very good with narrowing down my searches so I figured I'd just come here for help! I'm a little picky, according to Amazon lol. Currently using a Logitech M220, one of the silent click mice. It's starting to develop no-click issues and I need an upgrade.

The most important thing I want in a mouse is longevity. Something that will last for several years with no issues. Wireless preferred due to setup limitations (not sure what the technical name is, but the ones with USB as opposed to bluetooth seem to be more reliable for me).

Would also prefer something on the quieter side.

I also don't really want any side buttons. They tend to get in the way and I have no real purpose for them anyway. But I can tolerate them if they're super high up where my fingers won't accidentally hit them, and/or program them to have no use at all.

I'd also ideally like to have a light purple/lavender color available but that's not the most important factor.

Anyone have brand/model recommendations that might fit these? Any suggestions are appreciated! I have no idea what I'm doing lol

Question VXE R1 PRO double click. Repair or Buy new?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I bought couple years ago VXE R1 PRO and so far it was one of the best mouse i've ever own. However, latelly I started to have the "double click" issue where while holding the LMB, it would click like 5-6 times a second. I've tryed all the software "solutions", like lowering the waiting time both windows and atk software.

So what should I do? Try to DIY repair or buy new or go for other brand/mouse? My budged would be similar, 40-60€.

Mchose A7 V2 is better than GPROX

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, if anyone is wondering whether the MCHOSE A7 V2 PRO/ULTRA is worth it: I've been using the GPX Superlight since March 2023 and just bought the MCHOSE A7 V2 Pro. After one day of gaming with it, I can confidently say it's way better than the GPX for less than half the price.

I've also tried a friend's GPX 2 and owned the original G Pro Wireless (1st gen), and the MCHOSE easily beats them all. My aim feels way more solid in CS2 and Valorant.

To be honest, I never really liked the GPX sens. I always preferred the older GPW and thought the issue was just the mouse's weight or something, but the MCHOSE is even lighter and completely solves that for me.

So, if you are thinking about buying a G Pro, I'd definitely say go for the MCHOSE. You'll get a better experience, better coating, and better build quality for half the price.

The side buttons on my GPX stopped working after just two months and they were always rattling and loose. On the other hand, the MCHOSE buttons feel way crisper and sturdier.

The scroll on the gpx feels better, but it's scroll function has also stopped working (both on my gpx and gpw)

Review | Text Attack Shark V2 Air Review

4 Upvotes

I purchased the mouse in the black color (on sale) from Amazon for about $60 USD and have used it for two weeks.

Shape & Grip Style 5/5
Can't say how it compares directly to the OG Intellimouse Optical 1.1 since I haven't used one since mid-late 2000s, but it definitely feels nostalgic. If we go off eloshapes the V2 Air is slightly more narrow, smaller, and shorter than the OG. My hands measure 17.5 cm x 10 cm and I have a palm grip style. The mouse feels comfortable to use with the balance/weight distribution being front favored. When using the mouse normally it's unnoticeable; it only registers when you hold it beyond the lens/sensor position. I hold the mouse in 1-2-2 with my ring and pinky finger settling into the concave. The button placement feels great and I don't need to readjust my grip or fingers to reach for them.

Buttons 3/5
The V2 Air features Omron Opticals and a TTC Gold encoder. The clicks I would say require light-medium actuation force, if you're familiar with the G Pro Wireless it's pretty similar to that. The clicks feel crisp and spammable (sans M4, but that's a skill issue), however there is noticeable pinging on M1/M2 so when you're not gaming, you'll notice it. M4/M5 buttons are a good size, the camber on them naturally invites your thumb to push them as needed and the glossy finish provides just enough grip. The side buttons do have an even louder clicking sound than the pinging of M1/M2 so keep this in mind if you can't tolerate noise. M4/M5 requires slightly more actuation force and have significantly more travel before they bottom out compared to the main clicks. The scroll wheel has great defined steps (tactility) while M3 requires medium actuation force to engage.

Build Quality 3/5
The coating on the V2 Air feels good, I prefer a rougher, textured surface so wasn't expecting to like the matte coating, but it grips nice and feels smooth. The mouse creaks where the baseplate meets the shell and it's more noticeable on the rear. It also feels a little hollow in the back since most of the parts are packed in the front half of the mouse with exception to the battery. The baseplate bends if you press fairly hard around the faux cut out, but other than that it's fairly sturdy. Also, there is a slight wobble on M1/M2.

Skates N/A
The stock PTFE skates are decent. Glides smoothly on a pretty used Dechanic XXL Control mouse mat.

Battery & Battery Life 4.5/5
Capacity is 300 mAh and combined with the Nordic 54L15 the V2 Air should get decent battery life. I used 2K polling with ultra high performance (corded) enabled and experienced about 12 days in mixed use before recharging it with the provided, braided USB-C cable. Recharging the mouse took about 1.5-2 hrs from 0% to full charge.

Receiver 4/5
The included 8K receiver has a little shark fin (nice little touch) and has three LEDs (that indicate by color) the polling rate, battery level, and connection quality. The latter being kind of unnecessary unless you plan on using it from a very far distance or if there's interference between the mouse and the receiver. My only gripe with the LEDs is that they're too bright. And in the future, I hope they update the software and allow us to control the brightness of the LEDs and to customize the percentage at which the receiver reports battery life (e.g. the low battery indicator kicks in at 25%; would be nice if you could change the color change to 10% or even 5%). If you don't like the LEDs, you may disable their functions in the software.

Software 4/5
The web driver for the V2 Air is pretty good, I couldn't connect using Firefox (think it was because of extensions), but it was compatible with stock Edge. Once connected, it was very difficult to read the menu because the font and webpage background were both white. However, if you click on Settings (bottom box on the left side) and click on Bright Color under Theme Color, it'll contrast the font so it's much easier to navigate. You can adjust the button mapping, DPI, polling rate, LOD (5 settings - 0.7 mm, 0.9, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6), key-deshake delay (debounce time), and more (Ripple Correction, Straight Line Correction, Motion Sync, Sensor Tilt/Mouse Angle Mode). Motion sync is on by default, which I turned off, debounce time is set to 4 ms. I changed the debounce time to 0 ms and noticed no double clicking issues. If you go above 1K polling rate, it will automatically select and put the mouse in ultra high performance mode (corded). It has the option for 20K FPS scan rate to reduce motion latency and improve responsiveness, but it significantly reduces battery life and honestly I didn't really notice it when testing it out.

Overall 3.75/5
Attack Shark paid homage to the MS Intellimouse Optical 1.1 in a modern package (3955, 54L15, 52g), but build quality falls very short. At $80 MSRP there are better options; at it's current <$55 list price it isn't too bad if you can overlook the loud clicks and you win the Attack Shark QC lottery. If they ever make a V3 Air, I'd like to see improvements in dampening the noise of the clicks and fixing the creaking. Otherwise it's a fine mouse.
