No it’s Mr. Satan (Hercule) from Dragon Ball.

Wayland might also be a seperate package that needs to be installed. I remember having to do that at some point.

Yeah I have zero experience soldering. That’s why I said if I get to it. Definitely a skill I want to learn though.

As a not-a-developer, this sounds like my understanding of C, rather than C++.

Aren’t they called STIs now? Or is this just an old sign?

Of course. And then the mouse is suddenly $20 more or something.

So, if I ever get around to learning how to replace the switches myself, I’ll go looking for something that might be more reliable.

I didn’t know Roccat was less well known. Or that they were Japanese. But at least now I know what I’m looking at when my mouse finally kicks the bucket.

Often it’s just a bit of dirt. Other times it wears out. My point wasn’t that it’s the same as drift, but that both are wear and tear that should be avoidable or less of a problem. Like hall effect joysticks in controllers, which are still not available on first party controllers because they want you buying new ones all the time.

Same thing with these switches. There has to be a better switch that makes this less of a problem or at least prevents it from happening so damn quickly.

Sounds about right. But if controllers can have hall effect to prevent stick drift (third party controllers at least), then why can’t mouse switches have something similar?

It’s not really happening. They always have some sources disproving anything bad about their Lord and Savior, Winnie the Pooh.

Yeah it irritates me that the sensors always go so soon. You’d think the tech would advance past this, but it’s been a complaint for years at this point.

All of that is fair enough. My old ass will just always trust wired over wireless. I’m convinced it will always be more reliable at the very least.

Yeah, that makes sense too.

Old ones were absolute cheeks, modern ones are much better, a mouse will always be preferred. Bonus points if it’s wired.

Which is sad. I liked the hardware I’ve had from them, but I haven’t bought new in a few years. The mouse has treated me much better than Razers I’ve had over the years. Sad that their quality has (predictably) started circling the drain as well.

Also, what mouse or brand do you recommend buying instead?

I recently had to move, because my previous instance is shutting down. I got to keep all of my settings and the communities I follow. It also kept blocked accounts and communities, but not blocked instances.
