I wanted to bring up the Corsair Katar Elite because while searching the archive I learned it hasn't been brought up, at all.
What makes it the "Elite" version is in part the fact it is wireless and rechargeable (internal Li Ion battery) I don't understand why popular mice like the egg (G305) get a pass on the fact they still use fucking AA batteries in 2023. I think, right now at least the Katar Elite deserves to be more popular. When the G305 get a Li Ion version I'll consider it, but till then, I implore you to check out Corsair's offerings. The Sabre is pretty cool too.

Please share your mice and what you do and don't like about them. And make sure to shit on me for shilling a Corsair product.

5 years is long enough to have a mouse that wasn't built like trash on purpose. You're clearly talking out of your ass with zero knowledge of how mice are now.
My hands > your insufferable touhou hands
>>
>>92179281
My touhou hands are just fine
I was unaware that planned obsolescence had become such a large issue with mice in the past few years.
I can't help but feel like part of the supposed decline in quality is due to the trend of making mice lighter and lighter.

What are you going to do when that internal li-on battery shits out eventually? With the 305 you have the option of using rechargeable AA or AAA. You can use quality high capacity batteries. You can use hearing aid cells if you want reduced weight. It’s a lot more flexible.

>What are you going to do when that internal li-on battery shits out eventually?
When that happens years from now I will want a different mouse so I will probably throw it away. If I like it that much, I'll just put a new pack in.
>if you want reduced weight
If you want reduced weight, you want a Li Ion pack.
>You can use quality high capacity batteries
Oh? Do you mean perhaps like the Lithium ones? Maybe even the rechargeable lithium AA's? Damn, what if they just put those in the mouse and let you recharge them IN the mouse.
Maybe you could even use the mouse WHILE it's charging. Almost like, a Li Ion battery pack or something.

There's a reason why every electronic has or is changing to rechargable Li Ion batteries.

Do you think that any pros have replaced switches on their g pros?
>>
>>92185609
How could anyone tell?
Besides it's Logitech, that shit must by default double click after a certain period of time. There's a reason optical switches are being shilled often, and there's like 500 tutorials on youtube on how to replace the switches, and there's many different ones being sold as well. At least do it like the Orochi v2, as garbage as that mouse might be in comparison it doesn't get in the way of you doing that sort of modification at all, don't need to remove the feet.

I don't understand this whole "double click" thing.
Is it just an issue of cleaning the buttons?
When my G502 started double clicking I just shook it a lot and dropped it a few time and it stopped doing it. It's probably just a crumb in there or something.

Is that one you posted the one with the red bottom? I remember the scroll wheel getting stuck because there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel and the plastic.

Really imo mice under $20 USD tend to be a bit shit. Some last 12 months others years. VS $60 gaming mice I've had, litrally never had a decent gaming mouse last under 2-3 years no matter how much abuse I've given it.

Would you spend $30 on a paracord cable?
The Katar Elite's charging cable (USB C - USB A) is just rubber.

Maybe I should've been more clear. The Katar Elite is Wireless, the charging cable which charges the battery inside the katar is just a normal rubber cable.
I was considering buying a USB-C cable (the kind of cable which charges said mouse) in the paracord variety for looks and in the event the battery malfunction I can just plug the mouse via the cable.

This site has so many options

Y'know what. Why don't they just make the mouse pad a wireless charging station, and the mouse wireless rechargable

Don't like the superlight shape. Definitely the better mouse objectively speaking, though.

Even without taking into account the fact I'm using it for the shape, the g305 is pretty much unbeatable for the price as a modern no-frills wireless option. Logitech should really "Superlight" this shape imo (but they wont).

I'd probably love this mouse if it were ambidextrous instead of "ergonomic". Shame they didn't make two types.

Talking of which, I had had a razer mouse for 6 years before I changed it for, well, the same model but a new one, because its side rubber had started to peel away. I had the new one for a year and the scroll wheel goes both directions especially when scrolling down. I have tried to shake it multiple times to no avail.

The SteelSeries Prime Mini is excellent for ultra-light gaming. It's very lightweight and feels well-built. Its mouse feet glide very smoothly on mousepads and desks, and its paracord-like cable feels high quality. It also has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes.

Built Smaller. Lighter. All Performance. The Prime Mini uses Steelseries' proprietary TrueMove Pro sensor, which reads more images at a higher quality than standard gaming sensors, utilizes a stronger processor to handle the workload, and results in a genuine 18,000 CPI. Consistency, reliability, and performance have all been elevated to their peak in the TrueMove Pro sensor, which is why it has the best tracking on any mousepad.

It's just amazing that in the age of super light and wireless mice, no one brought back the NB series induction tech from A4tech. Pretty much the best from all sides, no cable, no weight, no battery. It's like a 20+ years old thing and it's completely ignored. Are they sitting on it while having it patented or what?
