Let's be real, the mouse community is the only thing on Reddit I'm going to miss, there is a big scene on X and hopefully the community here will build up over time! I think it can, it's only a matter of time, I'm trying to get all my friends to join Lemmy as well now.

Hm... an ergonomic mouse might suit you better, the Xlite is ergonomic. If you prefer something larger, I'd check out the Deathadder V4 Pro, that's another top contender. Teevolution also makes the excellent Terra Pro, it's an ergonomic mouse that's cloned from Logitech's famed G703, it has an indentation for your thumb on the lefthand side of the mouse it's rather interesting.

All 3 of those (including your Xlite V4) are very high quality, I would honestly look at Xlite ES or Xlite CrazyLight though if you're going to commit to that shape, those two would be really nice.

As someone happy with the G305, my entire worldview is suspect. I understand.

I am disappointed in myself sometimes, too.

Everyone! Dogpile!

Nope.

As soon as these niche communities get as big as reddit's, everything else will be as big as reddit and you'll see all the same unbearable asshole mob behavior as on reddit.

You can choose:

a) a small community that is more supportive and friendly BUT does not have a plethroa of niche interests

or

b) a large community that has a plethora of niche interests but has asshole mob behavior

You can't have a large, supportive and friendly community with many niche interests.

Case in point: I am here because I went through my main feed hot and new and am now doing local new because I'm bored.

Logitech G305, no complaints.

Granted: the undead start posting “BBBRRRAAAAAAIIINNNSSS” in all your favor communities.

Don’t know about 2S, maybe it doesn’t have the problems that the 3s has. I’ve since sold the mouse and gotten a thinkpad laptop with a trackpoint. I’m loving it so far. I don’t do much mousing too, so those times when I open anything other than terminal like a web browser I finally don’t have to lift my hands off the keyboard! :)

I just picked up the 2S and have no (current) complaints. Granted, I don't do much other than writing, so mmmv.

Logitech would be great if it weren't for its software. I got one of their mechanical keyboards and the keyboard was awesome hardware but then I had to deal with the software which made the keyboard useless and so I just returned it. Aside from that when I ordered the first keyboard I did happen to get one that was already open box and used but I blame that on Amazon.

I'm never going to buy another piece of Logitech hardware again just so I can avoid their awful software.

10/10 would return again.

Same experience here. I too bought Keychron M6 and have the same opinion, it feels like a supermarket trash device.

I now have 4 Logitech mice, two went through RMA for failing buttons, the other two failed outside of warranty period. I know that I can fix those myself, but I'm also too lazy to do it. I'm not buying another Logitech, but I also don't know what will I buy next time.

I like the quiet clicks, because I click a lot at work. The 3S is great for that, but the clicking mechanism inside is trash. I've gone through FOUR of them in the last year. I keep buying them used to avoid paying high prices, but shoot had I been buying new I'd probably at least get to RMA it once or twice.

Tried a supposedly similar mouse by Keychron and it was terrible, unfortunately. Feather light and cheap feeling.

I party agree, for the price it should behave more consistently. There are almost no other options with good ergonomics and a side scroll wheel and the software is a chore but also has some useful features. I think as of today there could be a couple better contenders maybe by Keychron? The scroll wheel is actually really good once get used to.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’ve heard some mixed reviews about Xlite v4, which is why I was a tad hesitant about it. What version of Xlite are you using?

Pulsar xlite user here, love it so much I bought a second for my work computer. Haven't used that logitech one but I do like larger mice. Get it on Amazon so you can easily return it if you don't like it.

I found simply making the receiver sit vertically (as in black part up, connection down) made mine work far better for my desktop, even when it was 40cm away.

Ooh, the Pro Click V2 sounds exciting. I've never owned a Razer product before, but it does seem to have better range and can be used in wired mode apparently?

Keychron sounds like a backup option, but no wired mode (same as Logitech). Would prefer to have Wired mode as a backup for when all my wireless stuff just doesn't want to work some days.

I'll see about getting one or the other probably. Pro Click V2 seems very new, no RTings review yet for the regular version and not available in my country yet, but it's on Deutsche Amazon so that would still work probably.

That M6 looks pretty dope. I love my K7 keyboard, and wouldn’t mind a matching rodent

Razer recently released their Pro Click V2 with resembles the Master.

Keychron also dipped their toe into mice and released the M6.

I'm not that familiar with either, but more competition for the outdated Logitech design is good in my book.

Hmm, actually if I only use the mouse and get a wired keyboard, that might work. Trouble is, I have to forget and re-pair them any time I switch devices and switch back, even though I use the 3 different connection profiles. Not a huge issue for the mouse as I don't need it to reconnect, but I do need the keyboard. So it's kinda hard to use the keyboard to connect to the keyboard over the command line (since no GUI tool seems to work reliably either, I honestly have no idea tf is going on here, I've given up debugging Bluetooth on Linux, I got my BT LE headphones working and now I don't want to touch ANY settings)

I have a thunderbolt 4 hub monitor that I have the Unifying Receiver connected to, and it's connected to my desktop 24/7, plus 2 laptops on demand. It's ridiculously convenient because as soon as I switch video input source on the monitor, my keyboard and mouse switch over to the proper computer. Ideally this is what I want to keep doing, just with a different dongle than the crappy Unifying Receiver for the mouse. Keyboard can get a cable, reduce the 2.4 GHz noise a bit.

No Bluetooth?
