Be the problem you want to see in the world!
Just came across this in all - what are the qualities you look for in a mouse?
The qualities I look for are the numbers 5, 0, 2. In that order
I’ve heard of keyboard enthusiasts, but not mice. Just trying to understand the qualities of mice where someone wants five or whatever.
I figured lol, I just felt like being a smart ass
I dual wield trackballs (Home: Adesso T50 on the left, Elecom Huge on the right. At work, Elecom EX-G left handed and ProtoArc EM03), since sometimes I want to lean at a different angle.
Good shape, not too heavy and preferrably wireless. The XM2we has been my favorite, though I’ve had it for only a couple of days.
I only have one plugged in right now, but I have an Intellimouse Pro, a Zowie EC1-C, a Corsair Sabre Pro, a Mionix Naos Pro, a Cooler Master MM720, and my current main which is a Keychron M6.
If the M6 was longer, then it would probably be my favorite with no contest. Likewise if the Intellimouse was lighter with a better cable that would probably be my main
None with the 12 button thumb pad? I was reluctantly convinced to buy one and have never looked back since. MMO mice are the best mice for all gaming.
Really? I’m far too lazy to customize it, so I just use a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro, and it works really well. Then again, I don’t play competitive MP games, so I don’t need a lot from my mouse. I got annoyed at replacing mice, and this has worked flawlessly for a few years now.
The only thing I wish it had was horizontal scroll, but every mouse I’ve tried with that sucks in some way. I have an MX Master 3 at work, and I keep hitting it on accident, which does different things depending on the application (e.g. volume in Teams). I have a Logitech Triathlon in my home office, which I honestly prefer, but the horizontal scroll isn’t smooth so looking at spreadsheets kinda sucks. But I absolutely like the thumb button way better than the MX Master (work computer is a Mac, and it’s way nice for switching desktops and whatnot).
But for my personal computer (Linux), nothing annoys me less than the Intellimouse. I prefer wired on my desktop, otherwise I’d probably get another Triathlon for it.
