Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've stuck with M705 for many years. It's simple, but has a button on top that lets you swap the mouse wheel from free floating (you can spin it and it spins, very useful for scrolling through long text like logs or code quickly) to the usual click type scrolling.

This is my favorite feature on the MX Master mouse, hands down

I remember having a Logitech MX5000 laser mouse, Bluetooth version. Thing rocked. Had it so long, used it so much, I literally wore a hole through the plastic on the left button.

I would love to have another one... By the time it gave up the ghost, they had long been discontinued. I was able to get the RF version somewhere, but it fucking sucked! The BT never lagged or disconnected or anything but the RF one was basically unusable. I haven't even ever found a mouse similar enough that I liked. Nothing has the contour, the weight, and the buttons. I might get 1 of those 3 but not all 3.

I got all inspired by this post, and took a shot of some of the Logitech mice I have around here.

The red one (MX510) seemed so sleek and advanced in its day, and now is...large. And lumpy. And the logo is actually attached.

The M720 is the best of them. I wish they'd update it.

I still have one of the old whitish PS2 wired track-rats in my 'tech graveyard '

I will admit their old Some Seeing Eye logo thing doesn't screen print well, and it does have a bit of Windows Vista feel to it, kinda not helped by that gloss coating.

What is that nonsense on the right?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That’s funny I have the same mouse as you and just bought the newest one. I just don’t have the middle one like you have here.

It was actually a good thing I bought the upgrade. The old mouse on the very far left is barely responsive compared to the new one on the far right. they also developed the software for it to react a lot better. It’s also a lot quieter. Even on the side buttons. and the grip is better as it’s not so shiney to shoot out from under the hand.

I have a trackman marble with the old logitech logo. Nostalgia

If it was a trick to do, could be applied to iphones too
