>buy 140$ mouse to try it out and see if the hype is warranted
>apparently they didn't put in a battery meter thingy, so the software indicator is purely a guess, and very often wrong and finnicky
you can't be fucking serious
logitech are CLOWNS
i really like the feel and buttons etc but this is ridiculous for the cost, I bet those 60$ aliexpress direct clones show correct battery % all the time

>>106184426 (OP)
I exclusively use chink mouses now

the light on the mouse turns on when the battery is low, you don't need more. logitech buyers BTFO as usual

>>106184503
my old mouse just broke and i had no patience to wait for the delivery of those that's the main reason I just got a superlight vs one of those

>>106184510
now I'm not a tech expert but how come the battery LED knows when its low but the software doesn't? I assume and hope my battery LED thing is correct at least, I used it for 3 days without it dying, then just now charged to 100% to try and get the software to show the battery correctly, it was stuck at 60% for the entire 3 days for me, god such fucking scuffed shit I can't believe the quality for what you pay

>>106184503
To add, my last logitech mouse was G502 X and with in few months of usage the side rubber pads have degraded and the left mouse button plastic has begun peeling.
Yes I wash my hands.

>>106184559
>side rubber pads have degraded
they always do this on all mice, but usually not within months...
usually click too but that takes a long ass time

>>106184426 (OP)
>they didn't put in a battery meter thingy
anon, there is no such device. this never existed
every single "battery level" displayed by any software ever has always been an estimation based on time and power draw.

>>106184610
the techpowerup review said this
"but since the Pro X Superlight 2 lacks a fuel gauge IC, the numbers given tend to be rather inaccurate and unreliable. For instance, after charging the mouse to 99%, turning the mouse off and on resulted in the indicator showing 60% charge, despite the measured current clearly proving that the battery was fully charged. For the record, after two hours of use at 8000 Hz, the indicator stood at 89%, so the battery life predictions appear to be largely correct."

it must be missing something because I had a deathadder v3 pro which showed the battery % perfectly every time more or less, until it broke...

>>106184636
yeah ok, that's the thing that does the kind of estimating you're used to. they must have some jeetware in the support app that just makes a wild guess

>wireless
NGMI

I do not understand wireless gaming mice at all, they’re objectively worse in every single way except for not having a cable.
But a proper light mouse has a proper light cable you never even notice anyway.

This costs less than half as much, it’s lighter even with the cable, and has no issues with latency like everything wireless does.
How much that latency matters is up to your actual uses. I absolutely feel that shit with every wireless mouse I’ve tried, I can’t stand it.
Plenty of products fit into this category too, of just light wired mice that are inexpensive.

>>106185101
2.4 ghz tech wireless mice have absolutely 0 latency, you're imagining it if you think they do...

>>106185143
This is an objectively wrong statement

>8k hz
>fully unlocked 20,500 fps sensor
>no power savings at all
>lowest click latency
buy endgame gear

I just stick my og gpx on the aftermarket magnetic charger thing I bought when I'm not using it. I have never ran out of battery.

>>106184426 (OP)
I charge this at night when the red light comes on.
When the red light is on it gives me battery for at least 2 whole extra days.
This mouse has never died on me.

>>106185101
retard alert

>>106184503
I like their cats more.

>>106186000
we know you're retarded already b/c you have a wireless mouse. Theres no need to announce it.

let me guess, you need more

>>106186690
Love this nigger like you wouldnt believe, although my side button is 2x clicking after 1 year

>>106184426 (OP)
I took apart my g303 and the plastic literally snapped from separation, even with all the screws removed. It was 2x clicking in less than a year. Logitech rma'd it but i though i'd swap the switches until above happened. I guess we're at the point where the only thing that matters to zoomies is the mouse being the lowest weight possible to were the plastic can just snap from opening.

>>106187216
>mouse being the lowest weight possible
Back in the day we used to put fishing weights into mouse for more inertia, what happened?

>>106187345
my g9x's have those weight cases, it's pretty fun to mess around with different amounts and see how they feel. Just a lost relic I guess, it's strange too because I actually can't stand overly light mice for mobas or mmo's and found the most comfortable long grinds to be a deathadder. Maybe zoomies just only play fps games and the lack of weight matters there? I don't know honestly, just feels like something thats only cared about (mostly) due to marketing and it being an easy thing to see on a marketing page, just like frequency graphs for audio

>>106187427
Guess back in the day weigh was also synonymous with quality going all the way from ball mouses.
Cheap mouses had just cheap plastic ball while expensive ones had metal or some high density plastics with rubber outer shell making mouse heavy.
I'm still using G400 and people in comments where omg how comes it so heavy.

>>106187499
>I'm still using G400 and people in comments where omg how comes it so heavy
I got a new in box mx518 on one of my shelves, picked it up for essentially free and didn't want to open it due to how expensive they are now.
>Cheap mouses had just cheap plastic ball while expensive ones had metal or some high density plastics with rubber outer shell making mouse heavy.
at least for me it's pretty much back to that point. After seeing how think and poorly made the plastic on my g303shroud was i'm done with anything thats this horribly made. Other logitech mice now just have the sides degrade into nothing and feel torturous on your hands due to whatever material it is

>>106187541
>After seeing how think and poorly made the plastic
meant how chinky and poorly made the plastic is.
fuck

>>106184426 (OP)
Expensive computer mouses are a grift. Enjoy the scroll wheel fucking up in 1-2 years and the buttons double clicking.

>>106187567
>scroll wheel fucking up in 1-2 years and the buttons double clicking.
I still have ptsd from my g602 mouse wheel killing itself in like 6 months for no reason.
I have two deathadders with 2x right clicks, 1 with a broken scroll wheel, two dead g602's and a bunch of logitech trash around. It's actually tiresome. But my g403 lasted 7 years of daily use before it experienced any issues aside from sides degrading which is nice i guess

>>106187541
Day I bought mine 7 Nov 2011. I like mx518 more, was basically first truly modern mouse but they where gone by '11.

>>106187586
>2x right clicks
My man, fix is just a drop of antioxidant and it'll 100% fix it I guarantee you and most likely double click will never even come back.

>>106187621
I've tried using canned air and 90% alchohol and that fixed 1 or 2 scroll wheels but the issues came again sadly, never fixed any of the fucked right clicks

>>106187676
alcohol does nothing, you have tiny layer of oxidation on contacts.
just get contact cleaner, shit works. wd40 makes them now too they're in every store.
wd40 contact cleaner not lubricant... since wd40 is company/brand not product now. you can use some other brand too doesn't matter.

>>106185168
not a perceivable one anyways
>>106187345
these days people shave off plastic to save a gram or two
>>106187567
optical switches so shouldn't double click, tho its that "opti-mechanical" logitech shit, which is cool imo, they do feel better than purely optical

for now...

>muh click latency, Hz, fps, ...

I reached top 10 on kovaak in many popular scenarios with high latency mouses.

>>106184532
>how come the battery LED knows
Sony bluetooth headphones do this as well, when you check its status on W10's Bluetooth area

>>106184426 (OP)
>buy $140 to try it out
I think you should reconsider who is the clown here.

>>106184426 (OP)
Buy G502, scroll wheel is loose and breaks but mouse is otherwise good. Buy 100 GBP Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, scroll wheel works but is too light and FUCKING TINY. How fucking hard is it to make a good scroll wheel, jesus christ

>>106189479
>Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
I owned this and it broke after 2y, it just stopped working one day after the battery got more n more shit, maybe it just gave out, idk
vs the superlight 2, superlight has better clicks, coating, slightly better scroll wheel (for now)
dav3 has way better side buttons (they're mushy shit on the superlight), battery percentage that actually worked, better stock skates i guess

>>106184426 (OP)
If your mouse lasts less than 8 months then it's a meme anyway

>>106184426 (OP)
have you tried using a... wired mouse

>>106189736
nyo, i went wireless and i cant go back

>>106187611
I had this mouse and a couple years back saw a revamp of it on best buy shelves so bought it and still using it.. looking at the price now though holy sheeiit

>>106184426 (OP)
I like mine. The only problem is the shitty screllwheel which strats srolling in the wrong direction at the sight of any dust grain. You have to open this shit up and clean it every two months.

>>106189772
Disgusting, I wouldn't have sex with you

>>106189494
Mine is still going strong after a year and something, but I bet QC isn't amazing with Razer. I love the mouse itself though, scroll wheel aside. I've looked at "reliable mouse brands" but warranty is only for like 1 or 2 years, which is suspicious.

>>106184426 (OP)
>>106189823
lmao, after updating the firmware I can set the polling rate to 8 gorillahortz :^)

>>106190285
same but its a waste of battery life
>>106190072
its rng yeah, i got a wired deathadder v2 that works almost like new after 3 years

>>106189436
Proofs?

>>106190285
8k hz RAPES my CPU usage. 5800X

>>106184559
same shit happened to me except it the OP's mouse :)

You get a light that blinks when it's at sub 20% batteries. Not like it fucking matters anyway since you just plug it in for 30 minutes and you're good for 1+ week of usage.
Also I'm not sure if you're aware but you don't need to install any bloatware for the superlight series.
Get the Onboard Memory Manager standalone .exe and run that to set your dpi and polling rate ONCE then never touch it again.

>>106190872
I like using the software because it has dpi switching for certain games, so, for example in CS 2, whenevr I tab out to desktop it goes back to 800 dpi, but tab back in and it instantly swaps it to 1600, I like that so I think I'll keep using it

as for the battery % though, I changed the cable, reinstalled the software, cycled on/off the mouse, charged to 100%, I am now monitoring it as it goes down to see if its accurate or not, fingers crossed I guess, also at 97% currently lol

it does charge suspiciously fast though?

>>106190668
I'm aware of that. I might try it just for shits and giggles. I see no point going above 1GHz.

>>106190900
Look in how lithium ion battery work because it's normal to drop a few percents instantly even after a full charge.

>>106190921
that doesn't happen on my phone for example, my phone's battery indicator has always been incredibly accurate n consistent
i can't believe logitech cheaped out on that reading chip probably worth 0.05 cents on a 140$ product kek, but eh

>>106184426 (OP)
Next time you want a quality peripheral, buy a Model F keyboard from Ellipse at modelfkeyboards DOT com.

>>106184426 (OP)
why r u gay?

>>106191967
man i like these but this would stick out like a sore thumb between my black monitor black mic black controller black mousepad black mouse

>>106190668
3% extra usage on my Ultra 9 275HX compared to 1000Hz :^)

>>106192017
man that's a shitton on a powerful CPU just for mouse input
fuck dat
anything above 2k = meme
an asian guy on youtube tested it
personally i have mine on 1k just for max battery

>>106192033
By all means, yes. I'm sticking to 1000Hz.

>>106192016
Get one in black dingus! They are made new!

so it dropped 1% in 2 hours or so of frequent use
I hope this is accurate and I fixed it

>>106192016
The things weigh like 10-15 pounds, solid zinc cases, real spring buckling capacitive switches.

G602...
I still think about you...

>>106192111
Just like SwissMicros pocket computers!

>>106187541
Used one of these until it was just flat grey from the paint wearing off.

>>106192127
I had one get killed by a bug some how getting in and exploding over the censor and another one get battery bombed.I miss it too

>>106184426 (OP)
i have this mouse and the charging mat so i never give a fuck about battery

>>106192127
best mouse i've ever had. shame my hands are ruined due to rsi so it'd be way too heavy

>justwerks for 8 years now
You just had to get the fancy one, didn't you?

>>106184426 (OP)
i already regret buying this mouse, even though i havent used it yet. only reason i bought it is because i needed a mouse with go back/forward one page buttons but without sensitivity buttons

>>106193578
honestly i dont wanna jinx it but i like how comfortable it is and the shape, feels pretty nice to use, so meh whats done is done

>>106184610
batteries of all chemistries have very well understood performance curves.
it's quite simple to measure the instantaneous voltage and current then use the known performance curve and required voltage to calculate the remaining useful power left.
yes there are certain errors but its not as silly as integrating total draw over time

>>106193750
>can’t use disposables
why would you want this? like that's 10x more cancer than plugging it in even if it lasts a month, fuck buying batteries in 2025

>>106184559
Logitech agreed to replace my G502 X when the buttons failed completely, even though the mouse was like a month out of warranty. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that they replaced it even thought they didn't have to, but I am never going to buy another one of their shitty products made to last just long enough to cover the warranty.

>>106184426 (OP)

Mice are literally a solved technology. You do not need “skill”. If you do, that means your technology is poorly-designed.

The vast majority of office workers use wired mice. I am an office worker. I will not have projects delayed because of your fuckery.

>>106194155
>The vast majority of office workers use wired mice.
So what?

>>106194155
but it takes 5 seconds to remove the cable from your mouse desk dongle to plop it onto ur wireless mouse...

>>106184426 (OP)
You memed me to buy Logitech, it's shit, they sell office mice with loud clicks and shitty wheels as goods for gaymers because of RGB lights, no indicators on the mouse itself, it relies on fuckin hub even to tell you changed the DPI. Stored setting in the mouse's memory - hub doesn't show anything

They have been for ~20 years now. How are people still just now figuring this out?
They're a fucking budget quality brand sold as mid-tier pricing.
