Bu-bu-but it has RGB light effects and 8 extra buttons that I'll never use, and it was only $30! The sponsored Amazon link assured me that this would push my gaming skills to the max! They can't just write that about anything!
I won't buy any mouse that doesn't have extra buttons to configure. I'm totally going to configure all of them just give me time ok?
I finally found a well-built comfortable mouse that has tons of wacky RGB effects and just a few extra buttons in a surprisingly useable layout.
The one I ended up with was the Roccat Kone XP. The best part is that I rarely notice the extra buttons until I need to use them and otherwise just feels like a normal mouse most of the time.
Totally not everyone’s cup of tea, but you can in fact get a feature mouse that also is well built. They do exist!
I had gone through probably half a dozen mice before it in the 5 years before this one, but this one has lasted around 2 years without a single complaint.
Can't believe I completely forgot about Roccat, loved their mice like a decade ago
Roccat Kone XP! I'm really happy with mine, got it in November. I know I'll never use all the buttons but volume on mouse wheel is a no-brainer.
Back when I used to play Fortnite, these extra buttons were the only way I could build, I never understood how people unironically used the default binds, like mate does your finger reach F2 while pressing wasd?
It's been really long since I've played, but I hope they've changed the default binds at some time. At the very least middle click has to be binded to straight wall.
Actually, a 10-button mouse for $30 seems pretty good. If it is uncomfortable like OP's example suggests, I wouldn't use it as a first choice, but it could be a cheap backup that I could swap in without needing to change bondings. I would use all of those for MMOs, and probably most of them for shooters/MOBAs.
Honestly that car most reminds me of the mad cats R.A.T. mice which look like they'd be hella uncomfortable but somehow are quite the opposite. Though I'm still happiest with my model o-
While the RGB bit is a complete ripoff for something I don't ever want to use, I was actually looking for something good with more buttons (PUBG requires two keyboards and a church organ), and it did take me a while until I found something that is actually quality AND it has enough buttons. So many "pro" mice don't have more than the usual 3-4 buttons, and I don't get how people don't want to de-clutter all the keys around their WASD/arrows.
You can take away the LEDs, but you will have to pry my 12 buttons side panel from my cold, dead hands
I love buttons. The correct number of buttons is almost always more.
Though my favorite mouse (MX Master) only has like 6 buttons, it has intelligent free-srolling and a horizontal thumb wheel. Whether I'm mapping, editing video, using excel, or gaming it's amazing.
Okay, not much of a gamer, but a teacher, and when I was working at a school with a 0-4 grading scale I so badly wanted a mouse with 5 side buttons so that I could scroll through Google classroom and grade one handed.
Lol that one razer essential mouse with lights on it goes for under $20 sometimes and is genuinely as performant as a gaming mouse 5x the price tho. Probably the one component I'd most commonly recommend for someone planning a new build just due to insane value/$
Logitech G502 or nothing!
I used to feel this way about the mx510/mx518/g400s
Now I have a 502 light speed but I want something lighter
I still feel that way about the old MX510/518/400 line. When the G series first came out, Target had a whole shelf of MX518 on 90% off clearance and I bought them all. Gave a bunch away as gifts, but they lasted me almost until Logitech made the re-release of the MX518 with newer internals. I bought a few of them and am still on the first one after a few years. I bought a 502 on clearance to see if they were any better than the MX518. Nope, so it's now living in the backup hardware box.
I'm still on the 500, and I have a couple I got way back. I'm hopeful that when they eventually die, Logitech has available something decent. I don't have much hope though.
I used to use G502 for 5 years before discovering the wonders of lightweight mice and low sensitivity.
G604 Lightspeed!
Pretty sure the word you're looking for is "mice."
Mice is likely the correct term as it's what was coined by the inventor, but common English often accepts both interchangeably. https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/feature/If-youve-got-more-than-one-of-them-are-they-computer-mice-or-mouses
English be like
House → Houses
Blouse → Blouses
Grouse →Grouses
Mouse → MiceNative speakers be like "It's mice you fool! How do you not known that?"
This applies to many things. That guy down the street who acts super macho and has a lifted truck? Don't date him unless you want to be disappointed. The quiet nerdy dude with a prius? Absolutely freak in bed, and a hung power bottom that will ignite things within you.
(based on a true story)
Are you the quiet nerdy guy with a Prius? 🤔
No, he's the lifted truck.
Red Dragon keyboards and mouses > that expensive shit.
I guess ymmv with red dragon, but the one mouse I had from them broke after like 2 hours of use. Normal clicking and the right mouse button just split in half. Figured it was just really cheap plastic or something.
I've had good luck with both a wired and wireless version so I can't say much about that.
Fwiw I've use/d a K551 and K552 keyboard, M801p mouse, and a M601 mouse the later of each got handmedowned to my sons. 2021, 2017, 2019, 2015. The K552 is used as a toddler toy...
All of them still function great so I guess ymmv.
I have a Corsair m55 pro it looks gamer but the low DPI headshot left-side button is something I won't live without again (I use it mostly for placing stuff in Cities Skylines). I just checked and I've had it since 2019, still works great
Personally a fan of Keychron M3, and it's pretty cheap too. I've heard that the shape is a bit of a crapshoot with regards to comfort when holding, but I've personally never had an issue and it's just been awesome
Pro IntelliMouse, anyone else?
i dread the day that mine dies. i dont know if I'll ever find a mouse that i like more.
More than two buttons is a waste
Browsing without a forward and backward buttons on the mouse is a fucking chore
Maybe if youre handicapped in some way
