[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.

    I use wired mice
    Oldest Logitech weighted gaming mouse don't remember the series I have worn all markers off that mouse.
    Next oldest Steelseries same thing, although the LEDs still work in it also.
    Newest is a Blackweb RGB 7 button programmable.

    Logitech M220.Working great.

    Just started using the Elecom M-DT2 "Deft" wireless, forefinger-operated, 8-button trackball.
    Basic mouse functionality works well - there was no need to install extra drivers.

    Solus does not recognize the three 'function' buttons, or the wheel's tilt-clicks, though, so mapping the extra buttons is a bit of a challenge.

    I use a Zowie FK2. Driverless, adjustable DPI, ambidextrous, and has two thumb buttons. Detent scroll wheel. A little expensive, but overall very happy with it.

      Solarmass The mouse is symmetrical from side-to-side, yes. (Even the thumb buttons are mirrored, so it technically has four of them 🙂 --though they can't be programmed to do four separate things.)

        My favorite all-time mouse is the Logitech Marathon M705 but it's finally wearing out after 12 years. Now trying out the Logitech M720 Triathlon.

        do razer mice work out of the box? as in basic clicking, cursor movement, or are any of the razer packages in the respos needed? or are they mostly for customizing LEDS and button behaviour etc?

          Logitech M510. Six of those on computers in this house. Inexpensive, absolutely reliable, and does everything a mouse needs to do.

          Logitech MX Master. I have one for home and one at work, with a receiver in each of my computers. I set them to different channels so I can use the mouse with whatever computer I happen to be using just by changing the channel (and not having to switch dongles around).

          I use solaar from the repo to sync/manage it and it shows the battery level in the system tray.

            Logitech MX Master for my work machine. Logitech G502 Lightspeed for my gaming machine.

            from the dark side i have a microsoft comfort mouse 6000, and I have to say the device works perfectly

            Lucien_Lachance The mouse itself will work fine without installing anything. If you want to change settings (especially RGB) you'll want to install polychromatic. That will pull in the openrazer drivers for the extra functionality. It can be a little bit buggy regarding default settings, but it's what I use for my Naga Trinity.

                got a Corsair Harpoon w/ CKB-Next from repo.

                Using Logitech Wireless M331 Silent Plus and work seamlessly.

                Logitech MX Master. It is now on its third generation, but not much is added - the first generation can be got for less than £30 if you catch an offer. The feel is perfect.
                On occasion I use a vertical mouse, a wired (weird) DXT Mouse - someone leaving my company gave me it and I had no idea it cost about £80 new until I looked it up! It is astonishingly comfortable and made of high-quality materials (no visible wear after months of use), although it takes a bit of getting used to.

                Lucien_Lachance I have the stupid overpriced Razer Mamba Hyperflux combo (pad and mouse) and love it as it is ultralight and fast. I have RSI issues and a superlight mouse is key to long hours on a computer. It worked out the box when I switched to Solus on my gaming machine, and I ran the OpenRazer drivers for a while, but the rgb stuff didn't work with mine, as it is a super niche mouse, so I am currently running it with default drivers again, and all is well. Button settings have never been lost or anything. If you can get one of these set ups NOT at retail (I got a review sample free) I highly recommend them, but damned if I'd ever pay $200 for a mouse.

                    I use solaar from the repo to sync/manage it

                    tomocafe I didn't know about this. Thanks!
