What mouse do you use?

[ZedClampet]

Speaking of light mice and such, who will be the first person to get the brain/PC interface? Won't have to move your hand at all?

I don't want a weird shaped mouse, which is one reason I tend to stay away from Logitech.

***
I bought 4 new mouses/mices during Amazon Prime Day. They were all about 75 percent off, so it was like buying one mouse. The new Sensei that I got previously, one for both laptops, are complete trash, so I thought I would try some different ones to see if I could find something I liked. The Sensei really went down hill. The one downstairs constantly registers double-clicks when I only click once, and the one upstairs that I try to do art with, has terrible jitter. I'll be carefully making a shape or a line, and suddenly it jerks all over the place, and I have to start over.

mice is plural.

what drivers are you running on Sensai? Have you updated firmware?
Steelseries normally have drivers for their mice that help with functions. and accuracy.

Downloaded new drivers right after I plugged in the mice using their software. And, yes, I know mice is plural. I was just goofing around.

I don't think eye control is as good as the brain control they are working on, but I've never actually tried it or have any interest in trying it, but it sounds like you would still have an intermediary between thought and action (moving your eyes).

how are we going to interface with pc? I don't want to plug something into back of head to play a game... not that I will be alive by this stage. PC may need to speed up too, we not sure how fast we think... Or what part of brain to interface with.

Eyes are still faster than hands, even if only by a little. Seems they can change direction at .42mph

How Fast Can the Eyes See? Move?

I know the eyes are fast. Our vision seems almost instant. But just how speedy are our eyes?

I don't know the answers to these questions. Ask Elon Musk. He's the one who has monkeys playing Pong with their brain/PC connections. https://neuralink.com/

brain/PC interface

Maybe not PC exactly, but it exists, especially with prosthetics controlled by thought… and maybe head movement, dunno it's a while since I read about it.

They've been researching it for ~50 years via DARPA etc and first practical implementations ~30 years ago.

I can't remember was it fiction or in development or in testing that US fighter pilots were 'wired'.

Yes, every tech has a long history, but those early applications were very primitive and many of them, particularly with prosthetics, actually required you to move a muscle, not just think about it. What they are developing now is lightyears ahead of any of those. It's like the difference between a 1985 chatbot and ChatGPT.

Rule # 1 - Always buy your mouse and keyboard in a store where you can open the box and try on the fit. A mouse that looks cool on Amazon may not feel good in your hand.

I am using a Logitech G502x ATM. I like its fit in my large hands. I wish I got the wireless model.

That limits choice if you can't find all the mice in your city. Some of us just don't get a lot of available options. Most of the things I have to buy for my PC come from outside of my city, its almost as if no one here makes their own PC or want different thing.

keyboards are also something that can take a while to work out if its a good fit. There was no way to test my keyboard before I bought it as no one here stocks them. Cheaper online too.. stores here exploit their positions.

I did get the wireless one, needs a charge again soon

@Colif So I updated the drivers on those Sensei on the day that I got them, about 2 weeks ago, and then I didn't open that software again until today. And lo and behold there was a "critical" update, which seems to have fixed the double-click. I'm not sure about the jitters on the one on my other laptop yet.

 

[ZedClampet]

@Colif Well, it didn't fix the jitter on the other one, but maybe they are still working on it.

could be a faulty unit,

AI suggestions:

1. Clean sensor with compressed air
2. try a different surface (mouse pad)

Sensor isn't dirty and it's done it on two different mouse pads. Probably just a faulty unit, as you say.
