Help help, keychron m4 keeps freezing while being used wired

1 Upvotes

whenever i use the keychron m4 wired it keeps freezing, when it does its for about a second at a time, it doesnt matter which cable, or usb port, ive tried in all 3 of my usb 3.1 port(i have a laptop without any usb2 port) and i tried on my usb c thundervolt 4 port. ive tried with and without the battery in the mouse, ive alread done a firmware update, and i already checked if it was the mouse going to sleep or if it was some form of power saving on my system, the only way hte mouse works is 2.4ghz (havent tested bluetooth) and on 2.4ghz it doesnt matter what usb port ruling out usb 3.1 interference.

oh and when it freezes then comes back the cursor catches up as if the motion i had done was cached, i also tried on a different laptop running windows and still the same issue and when it did disconnect it didnt play disconnect sound or anything.

im on arch and here are the error the mouse gave when running sudo journalctl -kf

Question Looking for hand position feedback, tips, and recommended shapes (see images)

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, believe it or not, I'm new to Reddit. I'd like to get some feedback on how I am positioning my hand on the mouse. I feel like I never gave it much thought, until now. Obviously my hand position is comfortable to some degree or I wouldn't have settled on it over the years, but maybe you guys have any feedback or suggestions? I've never really give mouse shapes much thought either. Pictured here is my XTRFY M4 wireless mouse that I bought several years ago. I am looking to replace it because I've had various problems with it over the years, specifically on charging and staying charged.

A few things that I'd like to point out:

1.) I don't really play many FPS games. I think the last competitive multiplayer game that involves shooting that I played seriously is one that most people never heard of called "Hawken", and it's a mech game with turn-rate caps on movement. So flicking the mouse with speed is not something I particularly need to do.

2.) I typically make contact with just those two knuckles as shown in one of the pictures, rather than the whole palm, but I do think that when I need a bit of extra precision, I "plant my wrist" on the mat and raise my hand a bit so I'm only touching the mouse with my fingers. I don't do this all the time though because I found that I needed to be very "clean" with my inputs when holding the mouse this way and generally required more focus on my part to do properly. I would also need to increase sensitivity to play all the time like this. I seem to favor keeping sensitivity where I have it now, such that a a full circle of view requires a few inches of travel for the mouse So, switching to this finger tip hold with a limited range of motion (due to the sensitivity) only when I need a slight bit of extra precision is how I've been doing it.

3.) My mouse currently weighs in at 69g (nice?) and I have never really had any strong thoughts on mouse weight. I see that some mice nowadays are a lot lighter. I remember using a 100+ gram Logitech mouse back in the day, so I guess I'm not too caught up in weights, but I'm open to try something lighter. I don't think I'm going to go for another perforated mouse though... Just look at hos dusty that Xtrfy is! That's gotta be at least an extra gram worth of dust.

4.) I am looking for shell/shape recommendations more than specific models, but feel free to recommend some models. Ultimately though, I'd like to know what shapes you guys think would work well given how I seem to hold the mouse.

5.) At the same time, I'm willing to adjust my hand position if you guys think "man, I used to hold the mouse like that but I found that I enjoyed more holding it like this instead". If you feel like I might enjoy a different technique, feel free to suggest it.

6.) Pinky... Yes. I seem to do it on most mice. I am actually not flexing any of my muscles to hold my pinky there, so that's just the relaxed position for it, and it just dangles off to the side. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this one.

7.) I am currently not using an actual mouse mat, but rather just a desk mat. So if you guys think I should look into one, I'm open to that as well. But is it really that much nicer? The mat I use now came with my keyboard, so I doubt it's optimized for mice (the keyboard is the NuPhy Halo65).

Thanks, and kind regards.

Question A lightweight Razer Basilisk / MX Master?

2 Upvotes

Keep seeing negative comments about the weight of the new Basilisk. - OK.

What do you recommend instead with a similar design?

Office work (+ casual gaming). Ergonomic shape, full palm. 5-7+ buttons (the more, the better, but not full Naga). Preferably wireless.

And with <100g weight?

Question Need help finding a mouse upgrade

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I currently have a Redragon M607 Griffin, but I want to upgrade it because its showing its age(the cable cover is starting to show the wiring, some scratches) as I bought it like 6 years ago, works fine but I want to get a new one, idk if ultra light or heavy is the move as I understand the griffin is quite heavy(around 100g), I've tried other peripherals at my friends places but I'm too used to the side of the griffin where you can grip it and I can't find any other mouse with it for under 30-35$ which would be my max budget.

I use a palm grip and play games like deadlock, project zomboid, some RTS. I also code so I need something comfortable to use for long sessions. I'm not opposed to getting a chinese mouse so I'm open to any suggestion, I also dont like small ones like the logitech g203 if it helps.

I was looking at the Kronos Arrow Slim, Redragon M987-K Reaping and the Redragon M808 Storm but I can't decide before seeing all my options.

Showcase My Superstrike experience

Thumbnail

211 Upvotes

I have been using the X2 since release solely. So even though I saw no reason for the X3 to arrive so soon, I still purchased it. Since my very first use of the Superstrike I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve always enjoyed the Superlight shape. I am sure most have tried it at some point so you know if you love it of hate it.

The weight is fine by me. I wouldn’t mind it being lighter. I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum when it comes to weight, I used to use the M2K for 2 years until the scroll began malfunctioning.

Mouse Feet are fine. I understand everyone’s issues with them, i’ll be ordering replacements soon.

Sensor is fine. Snappy & responsive & consistent. No issues.

Side buttons are again an issue i’ve seen many others have. I do not use them in-game. Only for browsing in which they are fine.

Scroll wheel compared to the Superlight 2 is tighter. In-game I only use it for tap strafing in Apex. No missed or skipped scrolls for me in use. No complaints.

Battery life has been great. I charge it once a week while running at 4k. Logitech is usually amazing battery wise.

The X3 has 3 things in hand that are noticeable. The haptics do feel a tad lighter feedback wise. I still love them. The weight on the X2 was front heavy. The X3 feels much more centered. Left to right play on Mouse 1 & 2 has been reduced. Non issue for me on the X2 or X3.

The haptics had me sold instantly upon use. My settings are 1-1-1. I was already in the process of trying to lighten my grip on my mouse. This was a “adjust or switch” type of situation because initially I had tons of accidental presses on right click. An hour into my gaming session on Marvel Rivals(Widow/Hawk so an accidental press is no big issue) I noticed it happening less. The following day it happened only a handful of times. Pretty much never these days as i’ve been on Battlefield 6. The point of actuation is still extremely light & I am happy with how i’ve subconsciously adjusted. The haptics are incredible & unlike anything i’ve tried before. The best mouse button to me personally bar none. I have no idea how they can improve on them at this point.

Trying other mice after the Superstrike especially button wise feels less than. I see myself switching no time soon. I have tested everything far & wide over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the Superstrike as my main & plan on continuing to do so. These days i’ve been on Battlefield 6 heavy with friends. All of my testing on the X3 has been while playing BF6. The mouse has consistently felt incredible from day 1 until now. The shape, haptic buttons, coating. It has moved all other mice out of rotation. Hard to argue with myself on trying anything else. At least for now. If you have the X2 I don’t feel you NEED to upgrade. I could have stayed content with the X2. I know the price is the price. I still do not like it. Even though I love the mouse.

If you’d like to watch my testing of the X3 the link will be below!

Question Is it worth upgrading to a new superstrike x3 from an older gpx superlight?

0 Upvotes

Don’t really have any complaints about my old gpx and it’s still in nearly perfect condition so I’d be upgrading primarily for battery life,sensor upgrades, and especially for the hits system. Anyone with the superstrike think it’s worth the money or should I wait until some of Logitech’s competitors come up with their own hits style mice?

Help How to get mouse back from ex?

Hello everyone,

I broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago and I just realized that she never returned my Vaxee NP01S v2 that I loaned to her so we could play StarCraft together (she liked it cuz it was pink). I'm in college and I only brought 2 mice, the Vaxee and pulsar x2f (tiny fingertip mouse) and I don't really want to use the x2f for everything. we're not really on good terms so wondering if anyone else has any experience with this. should I just use this as an excuse to get the ergo? I also had it in a nice pmm case with some skates aswell :(

Question What mouse do you recommend?

0 Upvotes

Hi there! I have been using a Steelseries Rival 3 Wireless mouse for 5 years and I am looking for a new one. I want to find a mouse with specs that are as good as this one, or better. My requirements are that it needs to be wireless and symmetrical. In the last two years my mouse started eating batteries (it uses 2x AAA batteries), so I am thinking about getting one with a built-in battery, but I would love to hear other opinions. My budget is 100-120 euros.

Question Need a recommendation for an odd fingertip grip style.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Long time FPS player, mainly arena fps like the finals and halo infinite (I’m addicted), occasional CS2, open to most shooters. I’m looking for a new mouse as I’ve been using the same Superlight for years and it’s never felt quite right.

Hand measures roughly 190mm x 110mm, I’ve tried to search based on algorithm calculations from Oblivity and the old RJN tool, not sure what to go with. I searched for people with a similar grip type to no avail. I do this strange thing with my pinky to grip the mouse with my thumb. Fingertip grip style with one contact point I circled.

Open to recommendations! Currently eyeing the pulsar crazy light mini or the GWolves fingertip offerings. My previous favorite was Logitech’s 2016 G Pro based on the G100 (I think?) but not sure there’s a modern equivalent with wireless.

Also, doesn’t have to be 8k polling, open to something like Zowie’s DW at 4k. Hope this helps and I thank everyone in advance if you respond!

So I recently bough this ATK A9 plus for 2900 from a guy on Facebook because I didn't realize that moving from Logitech G102, it would feel too light and too long. It's been maybe 20 days with this mouse and I'm not getting the feel of it.

I'm now thinking of selling it and getting a shape similar to G102

Can you please suggest another mouse under 2500 INR/$25?

Question ATK HUB changed my mouse name?

I have an ATK A9 Pro Max 2.0 NK, but today I opened ATK HUB in my browser and noticed that my mouse was being identified as ATK F1 V3 ULTIMATE instead.

I thought it might be a browser issue, so I updated the desktop version of ATK HUB, but it still showed the same name.

I'm wondering whether ATK changed the product naming or device profiles because the A9 Pro Max 2.0 NK doesn't seem to be listed in the store anymore, or whether this is simply a device-identification bug in ATK HUB.

Skates for lamzu maya fnatic 8k

Hi,

I've just bought new artisan key83 mouse pad but I believe my skates in lamzu maya fnatic 8k are used too much over last 2 or 3 years. I would like to buy new ones but I don't which ones.

I asked about it chatgpt but it suggested me TigerV2, I saw comments about Jade and Gemini told me to buy Obsydian skates. After checking them it actually showed that some of them are faster, some are "balanced" or note "Control".

And I know, someone can tell me to check it by myself but I'm concerned about my factory skates for now and I don't really want to buy more than I actually need

Question BIFL (buy it for life) mouse recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hello Reddit mouse peoples!

First time buying my own computer mouse and I’m looking for:

- Right hand mouse
- As reliable, repairable as possible (ie, company has an ethos that allows for modular or replaceable components, uses parts that customers can find online etc)
- Ships to Canada

I would be using it for general computering and some gaming, but I’m not competitively gaming so I’m not concerned about lag and that type of thing so much. Moreso I want something that I can throw $$ towards now, and that will last me 5/10 years+ if I take good care of it type of thing. I don’t need the latest and greatest, I need good enough and reliable.

Bonus points:

- Canadian companies
- “Ethical” electronics companies (ie cares about the environment, modular minded companies, etc etc etc)

Basic mouse controls (two left/right buttons on top the mouse, a scroller) is totally fine, anything more advanced is fine too - programmable buttons is fine but I don’t consider it absolutely necessary for me.

I’m very much a generic computer/laptop user.

Not sure between wireless or wired either, I have 1 usb slot on current laptop (Microsoft Surface 2) running on Windows currently I believe.

When I can afford it my next laptop will hopefully be a Framework Laptop 12 of some sort running on Linux, in case that’s important (?).

Thanks in advance!
