You are good at Quake 3. I will therefor [+] you.

You are good at cpm, I will therefore [+] you twice. Even though the second one won't count, the thought will!

it skips like shitty noname mouse

My sisters boyfriend has one, though it does skip, I don't know if thats the mouse or he fucked it up.

The mouse is to blame. Can't improve the situation by overclocking it on usb - won't go past 125hz.

its usless, wont go over 125hz usb rate no matter what

skips confirmed.. not by me, but some friend.. cheap generic optical sensor..

Well, at least it could make good spare parts for old mx300's in need of new cables, wheels etc :D

Can you confirm this?

Not quite on this one - but I intend on getting a generic logitech mouse which looks just like this one and costs a handful less to further bastardize my mx300 and G1 (Logitech Premium Optical Wheel Mouse Black (B58)).
Will post when done - which might take a while if I decide to take the soldering iron to one of the button switches :D
I expect the differences to be the pcb being totally useless apart from the button switches - and having to drill shit into the top in order to recycle either the full top or just the button part (since the 4th button is missing).
Apart from the easy cable, what specifics are you interested in ?

Ok, so I grabbed a black oem pilot-like logitech.. which turned out to be an rx250.
You can't reuse anything from it *as is*.

*The body parts are all slightly different in ways that will prevent you from reusing them without severe dremel action. The bottom has three, smaller screws, two being below the front (oval) feet.

*The mousewheel tilts left and right and has a different assembly, can't reuse it all, but you may be able to salvage the wheel itself, but you'll have to break the plastic assembly around it for that.
The little mousewheel spring is too short and useless.

*The cable is *soldered* to the pcb. Same number of pins though, so you could always reinsert them into the mx's unpluggable connecor, which is going to be annoying to do.

*In the same vein, assuming you can desolder components, you *may* reuse the left/right button switches.

The cable is *soldered* to the pcb?

omg

yeah, would be interested too... cable of my mx300 is broken, so that a need a new cable.

Cable is the easiest part, i frankesteined my mx300 with a 3mt usb cable, not as soft as the original one, but it have been working for some months without the horrible cutted cable issue.

Seems you might be good to try out the Razer Salmosa since it seems pretty similar in shape and the cost is reasonable.

didn't like it.

I did! =)

porque no?

Isnt it bigger than mx300?

I tried both the krait and salmosa at a shop earlier.
The salmosa has sensibly the same dimensions as the mx300/g1 (see Mahmood's review on GGL Wire : http://wire.ggl.com/2008/10/07/review-razer-salmosa-gaming-mouse/ ) which made me seriously consider it.
-
I hesitated between the two and almost left the shop with a salmosa.
Due to my palm grip, I went with the krait since the salmosa has a little edge at the back (look at the side view, you'll see what I mean) that would've gotten in the way a bit - and the mousewheel was a bit too stiff while the krait's is more akin to a fresh WMO.
I wouldn't worry about accidentally toggling the salmosa's (huge) buttons by resting on them.
If you have a finger grip, I think you may like the salmosa.

a comment from that review

"’m a digital artist and I find the mouse prediction to be a massive irritation.
I want my strokes/curves to be exactly as I intended them - not in increments of perfectly straight horizontal/vertical lines.
This DOES affect the quality of the lines - resulting in a jagged/aliased looking mess.

This DOES affect you in games - subtle movements are mangled by the mouse. Prediction makes a massive difference *especially* if you’re a fingertip style mouse user with high sensitivity (ie. the market this mouse is aimed at.)

Going back to my MS Optical Wheel Mouse 1.1a
Sigh."

bleh? Never heard of mouse prediction before...

The deathadder had this prediction when I bought it. But it's gone now. I don't know what did it, using a registry mouse fix, uninstalling the razer drivers, updating the firmware or a combination of these. I think uninstalling the razer drivers is most likely the thing that fixed it though. The deathadder keeps your dpi/sensitivity settings after you've uninstalled the drivers so it isn't a big deal.

stupid gotfrag bastards locked my thread :P

I went to a Krait after years of using a (several) WMO.

However after about half a year of usage, it now frequently double-clicks on just one press on Mouse1 :/ It doesn't affect Quake, but it sure as hell is bitching annyoing in Windows. Anyone else got this?

If its not a known problem I might just buy a new one, if not, I guess its back to good old WMO.

Product Description
RX250 Optical Mouse fulfills basic user needs with features not found in price-competitive products. The familiar, ambidextrous shape has been updated with a new, flatter profile for improved comfort during extended use.

sucks :( the g3 isn't available anymore? or did i misread your post?

salmosa/g9 may be options if you accept changing how you grab the mouse a litte bit.

only mouse ive found comfortable since my g1 was an old copperhead i had lying around!

noctis, my australian friend, get a WMO, play it safe
tell josef fritzl i said hello

tried that as well, wasn't that safe in the end :<

too big for my taste.

why not mx300? its optical no?

what part of "it seems to be the only avail mouse with the logitech pilot wheel mouse shape (mx300/g1/g3)"

didn't you understand?=)

they probably just started selling mx300's in his country

there's a g3 available at amazon.de right now. i'm not going to link it but you may want to do a search for it. 40€ is still a lot though.

still dont understood :)) in ltu you can get mx300, from other post i understood, that they are out of stock?

rofl really?

it's impossible to get it anywhere here... for 4 years at least already ;)

hmm thats why for me it looked strange, i will check few stores today, if it will be, i can send u it.

btw i got one :) used , but worked for me ok , the i putted it away :)

nah man, it's not that important, i was mainly curious about that rx250 cause its avail everywhere, i actually got a g3 i could use if i wanted to, was mainly interested in having a mouse with the same shape i can use in case my g3 would brake or smth ;)

Almost all mechanical parts of the G3 mouse can be replaced with analogue parts from other mice.

The body shell is your only worry, as the microswitches and wheels etc all fit from other cheap ass logitech mice.

The cable is also generic. Fits from most optical retarded logitech mice.

D:
only option left: sepukku

Is that a new razer mouse ? :)

it's what you wanna do after you used a razer mouse.

One week and counting !

fuck off and die!!!!

so glad to get that off of my Herculean chest

long overdue!

why do you always have to be so mean to me in public while we are like bestestest friends ever in private =\

DIE FUCKER

DIE

die

*added Aaron to ignore list

there is always a retarded dude in a group of cool guys

plz die btw

kill urself


just a quick 10 second look through our log!

all fake

He's always saying how great you are to me :(

you can still buy g3s? http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=logitech+g3+mouse
maybe you don't want a laser..

EDIT: I realise that's a UK product search but I'm sure you can find some somewhere that will deliver to Austria

Does the G3 track perfectly/skip at all?

Make of that what you will. It plateaus at a higher accel than a WMO but malfunctions earlier.
