Hi folks. I’m looking for a new gaming mouse, that’s Linux friendly. I prefer wired lightweight mice, with an option to swap out (or solder) the switches. I’m currently using the Cooler Master MM720 which I love, but it’s too loud for our tiny apartment, so I want something I can throw silent switches into. The MM720 uses optical switches so there aren’t many options.
I’ve looked so far at the OP1, and that’s literally the only thing that comes up when I search on reddit, so much so that it feels like an advertisement at this point. I’m not into crazy competitive gaming, and don’t need 8k or anything fancy like that.
Thanks!
I don’t think the Razer Basilisk V2 is light, but it is very good for my needs when using Linux… despite the scroll wheel turning to trash. It’s 20k DPI, as I happened to do competitive gaming.
Apparently, a Logitech MX Master 3 seems good, with this PDF here: https://github.com/claudiuvarvarici/Silent-mouse
@mugita_sokiovt @fleet Heavily recommending against the MX Masters for gaming - they’re comfy and have nice features but they only have a 125Hz polling rate.
That’s a fair assessment, I’d say. I didn’t catch the 8ms polling nonsense. I wouldn’t recommend the Basilisk V2 either, despite a 1kHz poll rate, as the scroll wheel becomes garbage after a couple years of use.
