What mouse do you use?

[Zed Clampet]

Need to be able to remove or upgrade it as the case may be. Its possible a better answer will occur that isn't foreseen now and having physical hardware in the room you can't remove is always a pain.

I have a box on my wall in my bedroom, that used to provide me a seperate phone line just to use for Dial Up, Its sort of stuck to the wall so I can't remove it. its a perma reminder that I used to use Dial up about 20 years ago.
Also have a ethernet connection behind my bed but at least its still used.

This reminds me of how many remainders of heaters there are around here, from previous heating methods.

1. Chimney in one room that is blocked up (and has been for ever) - I can remember the wood heater that was there long ago.
2. Oil tank on outside wall for an old oil heater we had in the 70's
3. Electric heater implanted into a wall that has been there since the 1980's or so.
4. A thermostat to one of them is still in a room, its not connected to anything. Not sure which one it was for, maybe electric.

Had two lots of gas heaters since then but they both gone into roof.

Our house had ceiling heat originally. You had a thermostat on the wall of each room. It was a dumb form of heating since heat travels upward.

You are meant to have good insulation so that it doesn't just escape out the roof.

that is something we are going to fix this year... in theory. I have asked mum about it. House getting a lot of work this year, so not sure when it will happen.

Ours at least has vents in each room so it tries. It doesn't seem to be on as much this Autumn yet.

My grandmother and everyone in her area, had a giant furnace in her basement, and there was a hole in the floor covered by a metal grill that was about 1.5 x 1.5 meters, and the entire house was heated by heat coming up through this hole in the floor. It didn't have a fan, it just came up naturally. If your walked on the metal grill without your socks on you would burn your feet. And they had an upstairs, too, You just left the door to the stairs open so the heat would travel up.

I deleted the statement about the ceiling getting hot. That's what I thought was happening when I was 5-years-old, which is about the time we switched to central heating. It's very possible that 5-year-old Zed was confused 🤣

unless the entire in roof heating industry is in on the truth and just sell them to people who don't know any better, I suspect 5 year old Zed was confused.

We don't have a basement... there is a few feet between dirt under house and floor but nowhere near enough that I have ever wanted to go down there. So its not possible to mount heaters down there. So roof or walls were only choices.

we getting new glass in all the windows around entire house this year which will also aid in keeping heat in/out

its a good thing we don't have mods around here that tell us to stay on topic.

I know that the ceiling got, at least, warm because I remember my father putting his hand on the ceiling and mentioning it. It probably wasn't supposed to do that.

I'm gonna make this patented: A Central Mouse System! You have one giant wire for your mouse and you can drag it all around the house. Imagine, several meters of convenience, no need to worry about if the wire is long enough and with effortlessly gliding from room to room. It is bloody brilliant!

This reads like a Tim and Eric sketch. Thanks, Cinco!

Would be a great way to do something about my wife's 30 year collection of statuettes. Walk around a couple of corners and the cord gets taut. "It must be stuck on something." So you yank on the cable and hear the satisfying sound of things crashing down and glass breaking.

*brushes crumbs from shirt* Oh, shiiii... *cough* That is NOT my fault. I was watching original Matlock series for info about forum research activity and stuff, and @Kaamos_Llama most likely forgot his shift again. So, yeeeah *looks around with a sheepish look* I'll be heading down to the basement to fix those light bulbs again, seems they always turn off at the wrong time.

Decides to not make waves about it as he doesn't want the attention.
Its not like this is an overly serious forum anyway 🙂

if vents were in ceiling, its possible it does get warmer mainly as heat rises. Depending on how strong the fan force is, it might not be pushing the heat that far from the vent itself.

I don't know how much gets through to my room but I can feel it in the kitchen if heater is on.
Last few days since we turned it on again I am not sure it has the right programming as it never seems to come on at night.
Vent in my room is right next to my window, so until we replace the glass I could be losing heat as soon as it gets in room.

This is a step too far

Yeah, I wouldn't be able to use either of the ones he shows because I don't use a fingertip grip. Also, I love the side buttons. I do kind of agree that I like the industrial looks.

 

[Colif]

I would be concerned about breaking it. Its not exactly the most sturdy of construction.
Fine line between ultra light and easily broken

That and it is mostly for one style of play.
I like having something to lean hand on when im not clicking... so obviously Palm

It definitely doesn't seem like an everyday use kind of mouse, and even if it worked for me, I don't want different mice for different jobs.

My 2 main mice rn are

vxe r1 and the attack shark r2 magnesium


Both of these are cheap on aliexpress

and I use them with a lgg saturn


I prefer them over every standard brand (razer, hyperx, asus, hp omen)

I have ever used, the comfort, sensor response and battery life is unreal.

past mice I have used

razer- death adder v2, viper, basilisk x wireless,
hyper x - pulse fire haste, pulsefire surge,
asus - kerris,

You probably didn't read 8 pages of posts, so I'll tell you I've been using SteelSeries and really enjoy their software. The mouse works as well as anyone's, has the extra side buttons on both sides, which I like. I don't know how their wireless ones do with batteries because I always use wired mice. But the main thing is the software. I can have setups for each game that I'm playing and the mouse automatically switches to that setting when I launch the game. Programming the buttons and macros are really easy to do as well.

I get 14 days worth of battery life out of the Aerox 5 running in High efficiency mode. That is worth the trade off of no RGB. It still had 25% when I charged it too, so perhaps a few more days.

I got 3 years of battery life from a $10 Logitech mouse some time back. That was a heck of a mouse for $10. Tracked perfectly even on odd surfaces.

My mother owns a Logitech Keyboard that uses two AA batteries. It is still working on those batteries, almost seven years now. I'm really like the Logitech products. Never had any problems, batteries always been good and quality has been great regardless of how cheap or expensive it has been.

 

[Colif]

No idea how long it will last until it doesn't charge up again. If I still like enough it could last a long time if I run it wired. There isn't much info on how long it lasts in total, much is mixed up with charging info.

I guess that was my fault for choosing the wrong words. I should have said a charge lasts 14 days or more. Until I need to plug it in for a few minutes as it can boost itself if you running low.

I didn't even know Steelseries made mice with replaceable batteries

This new wireless gaming mouse might be a Jack of all trades but it still hasn't won me over.

Great battery life isn't enough to turn my opinion here.

Review says to use something else... which amazingly is a sponsor. Nothing to see here.

Sonar is meant to be one of the better audio programs for headsets already, I just never found a use for it.

It's surprisingly great for desktop microphones too! I use mainly use a SteelSeries Alias mic and have no complaints about the software at all, it has all the settings I could want feels years ahead of competitors even within the same price range.

I just bought a G502 X lightspeed mouse to replace my worn out g502 lightspeed. The buttons feel allot nicer on the new version. And yes i am sure you are all shocked that i bought another logitech 😛

6 months?

Maybe you should try a different model from them, it might last longer. The shape of mine is very similar to it.
