Just to start off, I absolutely love this mouse for these reasons:
- I love the led style (it’s enough, and not obnoxious)
- Material of the mouse itself + material of side grips (for thumb and pinky)
- 3 buttons on the side; I don’t want more than like 4, and I like how my thumb isn’t resting on the buttons normally
- Sleek design, and it’s small-ish size and arch is perfect for my small hands
My only issue is that it randomly disconnects (wirelessly) and then reconnects, maybe once every 3 days. I use the 2.4ghz dongle, not bluetooth. I had already went through troubleshooting with support who gave me a new dongle. My dongle is maybe 5 feet from the mouse, on top of my tower
Preferably, I would also like a mouse with more battery life, I feel like if I don’t charge it overnight then it’ll run out of battery, so I plug it in every night (which isn’t the end of the world, but a minor annoyance)
I know wireless devices won’t be perfect, but I can’t stand feeling the cable (or seeing it even, I know they make bungees) so I can’t go back. Are my occasional disconnects going to always happen no matter what mouse I get? I would love to see some recommendations if you guys have a mouse you think I would like that almost never has issues
Edit: Also forgot that I like heavy mice, hence using the added weights inside the Rival 650
Would you be ok with a joystick and 2 buttons?
If so you might look at the asus rog chakram
I will also tell you in advance any game that focuses on the 1st controller it sees will have problems with this mouse (you can unplug the dongle launch a game then plug it in to get around thag but I wanted to warn you as while I love the mouse it can be annoying to deal with it’s quirks
I’m honestly not sure. I know my pickiness is making this really difficult and I might have to comparomise somewhere, but I’m not a fan of the asus chakram design that much. I’m hoping to get away from annoying quirks anyways, so maybe it wouldn’t be for me either lol
