What’s the second mouse wheel for?
I bought a Kinesis Advantage in 2011. I only just recently replaced it with the Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro. The key caps could use a replacement, but besides that it’s in good condition.
Meanwhile a good Xbox controller will only last 100 hours
I’ve used my xbox 360 controller pretty much daily since 2008, mostly on my pc. Looks as good as new, but with some tiny stick drift since a couple of months back
csn you get stick drift repaired?
What brand are these mice? Never seen them before.
Looks to be a Speedlink Prime Z-DW
I think you linked to something else

oh shit lmao thanks for pointing that out, i edited my comment.
The left one looks great. Usually we don’t think of computer peripherals as gaining a patina, but it kind of works here. Good call on buying a spare, though!
Somewhere around here I have the HP optical mouse that used to come with their desktops. It finally quit working and I had to replace it, and I had to do the math for how long I had been using it.
Twenty years.
Is no one gonna ask? Just me? Alright.
Why are there two scroll wheels on one mouse? My mind can’t handle being this confounded
I had a mouse where one was vertical and the other horizontal, but I seem to think the horizontal scroll was oriented horizontally. Having googled the mouse in the picture, it says one is programmable and suggests it starts with volume.
Why wouldn’t there just be a small trackball on the nose, wouldn’t that be more practical?
Because you’d be constantly changing your volume up and down slightly while scrolling.
For navigating a great big thing that benefits from two axis scrolling? Yes. For literally anything else a scroll wheel might be used for, like swapping weapons in games? No. The clickyness of the average scroll wheel is actually pretty useful and can’t really be applied to a trackball.
My Logitech G5 is like 18 years old and other than being dirty it has basically zero wear on it. Only thing that’s falling apart is the braiding around the wire
