Bluetooth mice are also limited to a 250hz poll rate iirc
Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate
eccentric_idea@lemmy.zip 3 days agoWhile that’s true, Logitech’s MX Master has its upsides. First, you don’t need to use a specific USB dongle for it. Instead, a single Logitech USB receiver can connect to up to 3 devices, so you have the freedom to connect with either the dongle or the computer’s Bluetooth.
As a result, I have a single MX Master 3 connected to three of my systems. In comparison, my wife bought a Microslop’s ergonomic keyboard and it’s now just a brick because the Bluetooth dongle broke and there’s no solution.

I honestly can’t tell the difference between 250hz and 8kHz. And I bet most people can’t either.

But they used to have Unifying Receivers that could handle 16 devices, and I don’t think a bad cert would cripple the software. Didn’t they stop making those a few years ago.

They stopped, yes, in order to replace them with the abysmal excuse they have now.

IMO MX Master 3 is the best mouse ever made.

I disagree with that. I like the MX master series, but I found MX Master 3 worse than 2/2S. My wife and two of her friends bought it and all the mice developed a left-click button problem after about 1 year.
In contrast, MX Master 2 (or 2S, I don’t remember now) worked for more than 3 years for me. I only had to clean it once to fix a scrolling issue. It finally hit the bucket when I replaced its switches to make the mouse quieter.

Never use the 2/2S I just really like the 3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like Keychron mice. They look much nicer and they have comparable models.
monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Didn’t know about these. The M7 looks nice
rbos@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Keychron doesn’t appear to be US based so that’s good… are they UK? Sources disagree.

Based in China, ofc.

Didn’t know they have mice, too. Might look into those, since I’m very happy with the keyboard I have from them.

Yeah they make an MX Master clone. And the config software runs in the browser so it actually works on Linux. And they look super nice and “minimalistic”, in my opinion.

Hopefully you never have to update the firmware on your receiver.
eccentric_idea@lemmy.zip 17 hours ago
No idea. I usually use Solaar. And I’ve like 4 receivers laying around. I haven’t had any issues with that. The only issue I had in the past was that the keyboard would break connection at times (I also have K860), but I connected it with CPU’s Bluetooth connection, I think.

I just got a K400 for $2 so I shouldn’t complain too much but it’s a bitch trust me.

My pop’s cheap Chinese mouse does the same thing, and it doesn’t rely on the internet (and, yes, I checked firewall logs).

Which one? Please do share the link or name as well. My MX Master 2 died recently when I tried to replace its switches to make it silent. Right now, I’m using MX Master 3, but I find it less reliable than 2, so I’d love to hear about a budget mouse I can use that’s also ergonomic and similar to these mice.
