Haven't seen one of these in a while. Talk shit all you want about jewish corporate conglomerates manufacturing toys for manchildren here.
I was pondering whether to snag a decent mouse this Christmas, but the only recommendation from /v/ that I remember, the G502, is a bit too expensive. Is there anything below or close to $50? An alternative would be the 2013 DeathAdder. Even though that's a bit old, it's still in stock in some places, around $60.

DPI is bullshit. Actual professional FPS players don't use high DPI, they largely use 400 or 800 DPI. High DPI also causes jitter.
>tl;dr on choosing a mouse
Always get a flawless sensor, laser sensors are not flawless by default, have the mouse be as light as possible, get a shape that suits you, DPI is bullshit and not indicative of anything and it's basically always best to have under 2000dpi total and make sure to get a good mousepad too that's at least 30cm wide. Hardpads are fine but they wear out your feet quick. It's best to get a mouse pad that's just pure black without any graphics or bright colors because they can reflect light and cause inconsistency, not to mention graphics on a mousepad look gay as fuck.
>mouse suggestions
G102/G103/G203/G303, all the same mouse. Quite small with a flawless sensor. It's what I use, only gripe is that MMB doesn't feel too good. Otherwise great. Good buttons, light 85grams iirc, I heard some guys on overclock.net removed the RGB LED to knock it down -10grams, decent shape and has on board memory. You can also change the DPI in the software. Also cheap, I got mine for 30€.
Delux M625, cheapest PMW3360 mouse on the market. You can get it for around 20€ from Aliexpress. Same shape as Deathadder.
Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. A classic mouse with a flawless sensor, also very light. A ton of Quake players still rely on them. No longer produced new, of course, but I think they are still around 20-40$ on Ebay from old stock.
Zowie mice, there's a bunch of them but they are all very popular.

I picked up the Cooler Master CM310 (not to be confused with the Cooler Master 310, which is a PC case, fucking idiots) recently and I've been very impressed considering it was only $35 Canuck bucks after tax.

The biggest drawback is that there are still two bright, mandatory LEDs on the front o the mouse and the scroll wheel, which I found distracting when trying to sleep (I live in a single room attic) and when using the mouse at night because my hand would partially obscure the scroll wheel, leading to a flickering light at the periphery of my vision.
To my knowledge Cooler Master doesn't do anything fucked up like NVidia, so that's something if you want to avoid supporting unethical companies.

You can generally find out by googling the mouse in question.
Let's talk about something most of the people here don't care about. Something that the few of us who do care about, swear by:
Mouse bungees.
Mouse bungees are one of those things that look stupid and pointless but hit you with a sense of "how the fuck did I not know I needed this?" as soon as you start using one. All it really does is lift your mouse cord off the table, which doesn't sound like much at all. But in practice, it completely changes the feel of your mouse. The cord becomes effectively weightless, you don't feel like the cord is getting snagged on anything, or dragged around as you move it. The cord doesn't boomerang when you move the mouse quickly, giving you more control. In general it just feels better.
They're stupidly cheap, too. Good gifts for any friends or family that play PC games or even just use a mouse a lot. Hell, you can even build your own (or just tape the cord of your mouse to your monitor).

Rubber grips are a mixed bag. They wear off over time and that kinda hurts the longevity of the product.
>>15738435
>How does one tell what qualifies as a flawless sensor?
Google the name of the mouse with sensor at the end. Bigger manufacturers usually just put the name of the sensor on their product pages on their site too, chinky manufacturers usually don't but the Mice forum on Overclock.net is probably the best resource for anything related to mice and someone there has more than likely even reviewed it. There are also a few sites like this: https://sensor.fyi/list/ which appears to be updated often.

>They wear off over time and that kinda hurts the longevity of the product.
That's true, but given it's on such a small, "low-traffic" section of the mouse I can't see it having much of an impact. The mouse I replaced with the CM310 was something I had owned for three years, and its rubber grips in the same place never deteriorated.

Have been using a Logitech G502 for a number of years, though I've recently bought a corporate-y Logitech MX Master 2S for work, and it turns out I prefer it as a daily driver at home. As a rule I've never gone wireless, honestly though it really is a cracking bit of kit. I haven't noticed any latency or faults, and the mouse can easily go a good month before needing to charge it. When charging you can just keep the cable attached to go permanently wired if you prefer.
The wheel on the MX Master is leaps and bounds ahead of the G502, for a start it actually has some fucking grip and feels nice on your finger. Whereas the G502 can either be set as a ratchet or set as a free-wheel, the MX Master has the option to interchange while scrolling - if you scroll quickly it will change to free-wheel, when you stop it clicks back into a ratchet (speed is changeable). I wasn't expecting to use this but it has turned out to be a very nice feature, great for excel, emails and threads.
Downsides though, the forwards/backwards buttons are particularly shite, and I often use the DPI-shift /sniper button on the G502, which the MX Master doesn't have. It is very big, if you've got fanny hands it's not for you. It does cost more than the G502 which is already on the high-end of the market.
Above all it's really solidly built, it sits really nicely in my hand, is a pleasure to use and is the first wireless mouse I've ever seen that actually works well. There's no silly jagged edges or unnecessary shaping, it's a sensible mouse and the G502 feels too much of a hotwheels toy now. Solid bit of kit.

Calm yo tits faggot. Because of the non-crystaline read non perfectly smooth because of those flakes you get if you break it structure of the atoms of glass facing a certain direction based on how it was poured/blown you get more abrasiveness in a single direction i.e middle/right for your peice. There is no way to make glass perfectly smooth since if you break it, then it will shatter in a way to show the abrasiveness of the atoms. Which would be in shards in a non-covelant bond of the electrons. So either put a supersmooth wax on it or get a mousepad. Or better yet just stop giving a fuck and make new glass that will not react with your plastic mouse but that means getting into the chemistry of how to make silicia perfectly covelant for the properties you want, smoothness. Your best bet would be a glass-ceramic mixture so you can obtain the propety of smoothness and clarity you desire. But you will have to make it yourself.

Mechanical keyboards, gaming keyboards and gaming mice are all memes for cucks, soyboys and underages nowadays.
They were not bad 10 years ago but nowadays all brands have worse build quality, are more fragile and less reliable than basic $5 mice and $10 keyboards. Overpriced disposable trash with some extra features and leds that cost the manufacturer like $10 or $15 extra at most to add.

>Mechanical keyboards, gaming keyboards and gaming mice
Disagree, agree, disagree. MKBs go beyond just "gaymer gear" brands and more often than not "gaming mice" are basically the only ones that have sensors worth a shit. Besides that there are some companies that make "gaming gear" that are functional and good, Finalmouse and many Logitech mice are up there as an example.

I hold this thing in my hand upwards of 12 hours so ergonomics matter. Not to mention that the quality of life features like programmable buttons and configurable DPI are also pretty neat so 50$ for a mouse every 5 years is worth it imo.
Just because a lot of useless shit is being marketed as "muh g4m1ng" does not mean that all "muh g4m1ng" stuff is useless shit.

What are mechanical keyboards good for if not gaming? Because they sure as fuck aren't going to let you one it at work.

What do you mean? The only switches that are loud are Blues/Greens.

There are expensive gaming keyboards but there's cheap mechanical keyboards with actual quality in them. The biggest offender I have seen are the razer keyboards.

Either-way, there are ways to silence a mechanical keyboard with switches dedicated to being silent, o-rings, those transparent mx clips that go over your switches, foam pads to absorb vibrations, etc.

>Logitech
They're one of the worst on cheap build quality these days. Even their own cheaper stuff is usually better. The more expensive mice in Logitech's current lineup are made to last 2 or 3 years at most, fuck that.

Yeah they are nice and some of them get tough to live without after you get used to them. But
>so 50$ for a mouse every 5 years is worth it imo
>5 years
You mean 2 or 3 years right. Shit these days is designed to break part or just die soon after the warranty period expires. I wouldn't mind paying $50+ for a peripheral if they used quality components built to last. My older high-end stuff is still working in perfect condition, however built and component quality seem to have plummeted across all manufacturers since the last 5 years or so. Maybe because most people don't mind having their expensive, high-end mouse / keyboard break apart or just die after 2 or 3 years and then just go and buy a new one like a cuck thinking there's nothing wrong with this.So, like I said,
>memes for cucks
Meanwhile, the sub-$10 peripherals I deal with that were bought in the bargain bin at Walmart or bought in a wim on some mom and pop store, usually outlive every single one of my more expensive stuff even when they take a lot more use, abuse and beatings. This is bullshit.

I was impliying that most of the peripherals I've used that are older than 5 years are still in perfect working condition (both low-end and expensive high-end peripherals), while most of the more recent stuff that was in the expensive, high-end range already broke. While cheap disposable stuff purchased during the same period (than the newer, more expensive peripherals) is still working fine. I thought this was pretty much obvious to anyone with a 3-digit iq who would read and pay attention to the entire post. Hope it's clear enough now.

No, it's you sitting here make shit up on the internet. If all of your older high-end peripherals are in perfect working order, why the fuck are you constantly buying "sub-$10" replacements for your perfectly working hardware?

I deleted my post because I wanted to edit it so I could better explain what I meant because I thought it still wasn't good enough to your sub-nigger iq, but I reposted the edit before you sent your reply. Way to make a fool of yourself, faglord.
>he calls me a cuckchanner
Funny how I'm the one feeling since the beginning like I was arguing with a current exodus rapefugee and a shill to boot, but I wanted to keep things civil. However I can play this game, too. I've screencapped your reply in case you decide to back down after seeing you screwed up.
Resorting to ad hominem attacks, I see you're obviously a paid shill for peripheral companies. I was disappointed in seeing them here but not surprised since cuck /v/ and this place have been pretty much one and the same since the past couple of months.
I don't feel like I owe you any explanation, but I used to buy newer high-end peripherals (not anymore due to the reasons given here) because I have the money, wanted to try new stuff and keep the older ones as spares. As for the cheaper peripherals, first I own multiple PCs and notebooks and not all of them are for gaming, also most are not for my own use, but for family, relatives and coworkers (being "the" it guy both in and out of workplace, I keep track of these things).

If you're not a shill, then you're something even worse. You're the cuck I've been talking about, is that what's triggering you?

I really dont know what you are talking about.
i bought my g600 in 2012 and the only thing i needed to fix was re-tightening the little springs in the microswitches last year, something that you can do yourself in 15 minutes of work.
Planned obsolescence is a real problem that is getting worse, but so far i have not encountered anything that i could not repair myself. What mouse did you get that failed beyond repair after 3 years ? The only one that did that failed on me so quickly was a razer copperhead that had a broken cable, once again a 10 minute repair that can be done by anyone who has a screwdriver.
You should really start repairing your stuff, it not only saves money, but its also somewhat fun to do.
As far as keyboards go i only have mine for about 4 years now and so far nothing failed. Although its a really simple mechanical one without any screens or other bullshit.

Anyone know where you can get new MLT04 sensor based mice today? I saw that it's possible to get some Intellimouse Explorers 3.0s and Intellimouse Optical 1.1s from China, but I don't know what they are actually like, I heard some guys say it is indeed real, but some parts may be reproductions. Wheel Mouse Opticals are really expensive today too, wish they weren't.

I just traded my old wired mouse for a friends wireless mouse, he was sick of changing batteries and I wanted to reduce overall wire clutter on my desk so we both benefited, just played a few rounds of CS:GO as a test and honestly it seems fine after I got used to the difference in mouse acceleration. I know it probably has higher input latency vs a wired mouse but as long as the peripherals input latency is lower than a networks you will never be disadvantaged on the peripheral side, just on the network side, so just don;t have shit internet.

bitrates and gold cables are a meme, but that's not to say all expensive audiophile shit is, power conditioners for example will remove noise on particularly sensitive systems as mains noise will fuck with the amps. This is more of an issue for critical listening applications for shit like studio mixing or even shit like radar equipment than it is for faggots from /mu/ listening to their metal and electromeme bands

Anyone has suggestions for a really tough and long lived mouse?
Most of my mouses ended up with broken or malfunctioning scroll wheels, is the g502 wheel good? It looks easier to clean than the usual rubbery ones, at least.
