Breaking in a new mouse is frustrating

[morrisseyshair]

You really don't know what you have until it's gone. The left button of my beloved mouse broke off after years of dedicated service. It's wired and old, I figured I'd upgrade to the best of the best now that i have more money. Its replacement, touted as what the pros use, is nice but after a few days I'm sending it back. Too many flaws and I can't get used to it.

Plus it has a few deal breakers, one of which is that there's no grip. Its body is completely smooth so I never feel I have full control of it. It's lightweight, TOO lightweight, it feels like I'm barely moving anything at all. The biggest deal breaker though is that I can't change the DPI on the fly. The button to do that is on the bottom and it's not instant when switching, and more times than not I skip over my desired DPI so I'm stuck in a torturous loop until I get it right.

This thing cost $100. I bought back my old mouse for $40 which is what I should have in the first place.

.. which mouse?

Protip: if you find a mouse you really like buy another pair immediately as backup.

I can't use normal gaming mouse anymore due to wrist related pain; and the only vertical mouse that fits my hand perfectly is the Logitech MX vertical so i immediately bought 2 extra in case production runs out.

The mouse I can't get used to is Logitech G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse. I play CS2 religiously and apparently this is what the pros use in competitions.

I got my old mouse which is CORSAIR HARPOON WIRELESS RGB Gaming Mouse. My original was wired, this one is wireless, I hope nothing else is different besides that.

Great advice for things we rely on. This was a wake up call.

My mouse used to have grips but went smooth. You can add your own grips, but that seems like too much work and looks a mess. I like Logitech mice but not the new ones because they lack 6 buttons - many mice lack buttons drives me crazy.

$100 for a mouse (or keyboard) is a joke because they all wear out some day.

Corporate greed is real.

I had bought some 1mm and 2mm self-adhesive foam padding on Amazon for pretty cheap.

This could remedy your grip issue or even to properly spray/paint on some PlastiDip.

I seen some people PlastiDip skull art to their mice and controllers, pretty damn cool.

PlastiDip is basically rubberized paint but it doesn't get removed like paint or wear out.

Generally a rubber coating...

Could learn to solder. My old keyboard had a few switches fail so I boght a new keyboard and kept the faulty one for spares so I can replace switches, the battery and anything else. My mouse has just started double clicking and losing hold status so I purchased 2 new switches for £6 inc delivery. Borrowing the tools I'd need from someone my brother knows

It's as if people have different hands sizes or something..

5 more back ups .... !? Do they break so easily ?

Well i gave two to relatives, but yeah, most mice last 1-2 years for me, no matter how expensive. Same with these logitech g pros. Actually had one fail in 11 months (the usual double click problem)

I've used Logitech M510 for years and what gives first are the skates after a couple of years. The rubberized sides are solid they never give and stay grippy till the end. pretty happy with those.

5 backups? Dang..

I've had the same mouse for like, five years and I am just now lightly considering replacing it...solely to get a new mouse with even more insane dpi so I can play fps games as i get older. Also I won't have to use so much of the mousepad, or hurt my wrist

The double-clicking is just from the manufacturer being cheap and using the bulk china switches

I also have a G Pro that has a failed switch, was going to replace the switch and saw a Razer DA mini for $20 when it was on sale, perfect for claw / finger grip styles. Any optical switch mouse would be leaps and bounds better, I was checking out Roccat's Burst Pro on sale for $25, uses their "titan" optical switch - killer deal for razer-haters...

edit - just ordered that roccat, realized I gave away my spare (a Corsair Harpoon)...
