Harvey I hate how expensive mouses have gotten.

amen!

    Shocks me to see Logitech has the upper echelon of the market for you all. Had no clue.
    I have a bottom of the barrel K series Logi wireless mouse/key. Nothing fancy at all. Doesn't feel ergonomically wonderful. I have to bang the crumbs out of the keyboard every couple weeks. Does what $40 USD (for the combo) needs it to do. Nothing magical.

    If you are into the whole brick and mortar experience like I am, it's the monopoly mouse; the people's mouse I guess.
    That's a generational difference. In no brick and mortar store in the usa will you see the high-end logitech mice and keys you all refer to. Just the low end like mine. My experience anyway. Interesting thread.

    Still makes me wonder: where is their competition?

      brent Is this the kind of mouse you'll see in schools and offices?

          That is the question!

          Skimming through all the mouse manufacturers i can think of not many work in linux unless as i said u go for the driverless mice.
          For example Roccats linux drivers that used to be praised are now abandoned Razer linux drivers work but getting a newish mouse supported also seems hard.

          Which leaves Logitech that seems reasonably updated..

              I use a "Talon-Blu" mouse, Ambidextrous, adjustable DPI up to 3000, nice Blue LED, quality wheel is forgiving of greasy fingers too...lol, and cost effective, under $50 USD.

              Fatih19 schools, office, my house, your house, your mechanic's entrance, your church, your grandma...left click right click wheel and wireless. Basic mouse. I'm just saying I've never walked into a usa electronics store (I visit plenty) and seen what was in this great thread as far as high-end logitech stuff. Interesting that it's mostly one company. Don't get me wrong: a usb mouse and keyboard is primitive to me...

                [deleted] interesting isn't it? I'd say by design but things morph too fast anymore. good research.

                  I use the Logitech MX Anywhere 2, I can truly recommend it. I wish it was a little bit more quiet on button click, but other than that this is the perfect mouse for me.
                  I'm also thinking about buying a Logitech keyboard. How could I set it up so that the mouse and the keyboard would use the same unifying receiver?

                  I use a 5 years old SteelSeries Sensei Raw that just wont die. It still works just as good as new and it’s even possible to configure using libratbag on Linux. A wonderful mouse and I can’t find any mouse that I like as much as that one.

                  On one of my other computers I use an even older Microsoft mouse. This one too just keeps on working and it looks and functions just as new.

                  [deleted] Kind of yeah. There’s also two tools called libratbag and piper. They together allow you to configure a lot of mice with a great user interface application...

                    I use a Cooler Master Ghost Storm Recon for same years now, it was a good purchase. I was influenced by a forum in Brazil, who have some experts on peripheral analysis, and my mouse had a 8/10 evaluation and was availabe on the brazilian market.

                    Loving the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse.

                    [deleted] I ordered a Logitech G403 Prodigy - apparently it has a onboard memory so i can store whatever macro i want to the top button! Ill let you know when it arrives after the weekend - thanks forall the replies 🙂

                    Got the mouse a couple of minutes ago, installed piper with libratbag, fired it up and set my keys the way i like it and that was that.

                    Hassle free! loving it!

                    edit: spoke too soon! Turns out it doesnt save to onboard memory so when i reboot the rgb goes crazy until i login and the drivers gets to do their thing. Still loving it 😛

                        AlucardNoir I had the g502 proteus core which i think is pretty similar to the spectrum and tbh i dont need that many buttons or the "snipe button" - so i went with the cheaper alternative! 🙂

                            Logitech M570 Thumb-operated trackball.
                            Works quite well with Solus, with no extra installations necessary.

                            [deleted] It's identical, the feet are all that was changed, and now the core in Hero. But yeah, that makes sense.

                            That being said, I personally go with a full, cut/copy/paste for the snipe/back/forewords button and a delete/gshift for the DPI button, with the g-shift giving me enter on snipe and DPI on the back/forewords buttons - and that's just the desktop profile. And I still miss my horizontal thumb wheel from the time I had a R.A.T. 5. That made things so much simpler.

                            Though it's funny really, most people just go with a vim keyboard bindings and a window manager, I buy a 100$ mouse and map the most useful keyboard shortcuts on it.
