Had a G602 for many years, and then migrated to M720 triathlon. I like the G series ergonomics, but the G604 kept breaking on me. M720 has treated me well so far and support for standard battery cells is very nice.

#112I wish I had the money and the know-how to do things like that. In a world where many companies are downright hostile to user needs and preferences, we need more DIY electronics — not less.
Only thing that's expensive is you breaking the mouse in the process.

#113I still haven't figured out why they no longer make wired trackballs. The thing never moves, why do I need it to be wireless?
Have been happy w/ an Elecom not having found Kensington or Logitech options that I was happy with.
Re: Building the mouse Logitech won't make
#114I've been using a mouse from https://pmm.gg , it weighs about half as much as the mouse I swapped the guts out of (28 grams vs 60 grams). Basically a couple sheets of printer paper. I don't really care about the weight, what caught my attention was they offer ceramic? coated magnesium scrollwheels. My otherwise mild skin condition completely destroys the shitty grippy/gummy rubber they put on scrollwheels and sometim…
I actually like a heavier mouse. A lot of modern devices feel inconsequential and cheap (well, because they are). I've gone so far as to open my mice and glue in a few pennies to increase the weight. Makes it feel much better. At first it seemed kind of silly, but then I realized it doesn't matter. All that matters is how I feel about the devices I use for hours a day, every day.

#115Man, I'd really want a wired USB one with the maglev wheel. The wireless one is buggy in linux: works well overall, but the scrollwheel sometimes requires 2 ticks for a single scroll when reversing direction

#116My favorite mouse is the Logitech Anywhere MX. It's highly comfortable despite being pretty small. The back/forward buttons on the side are indispensable for web browsing, file management, and switching weapons in first-person shooters. It takes two AA batteries which last for months and take seconds to swap out. The dongle is small and has good range. The scroll wheel switches between clicky and free-scrolling. It's…
> 1) The the microswitches go bad after a couple years.
I've got to mention how reliable the switches used to be. I purchased a wired Logitech mouse in the 90's that lasted through three different computers.
More recent models fail quickly with such regularity that I just stopped purchasing the brand at all.

#117Used a trackball since 1994. Desktop publishing and photo editing, if you've ever needed to position precisely and lift finger off the ball and click or mousedown without moving the focus again you'll just know.
Kensignton makes a good one with a scrollwheel ring around it, the ball XY is perfect though the clickers are so-so in longevity. Working without a physical middle click and two button software middle click emulation is frustrating sometimes.

#118The current (and older) MX Master is a bit expensive, but it's worth it. Great mouse. Feels good. Battery lasts forever.

#119> $200+ for a hot-air rework station The [insert random brand] 959D rework stations run around $55 and are suitable for hobbyist use.
I love the [random brand] [number] stations naming, it's so funny.
