Good point. It measures at about 13x8.5cm.

It’s like an alien name out of Rick and Morty. 😂
You probably can modify the existing one to fit your hand fairly easily.
I could reprint the housing one day, when I get a printer myself. 😂
The PCB doesn’t look ambidextrous. Maybe there’s a way to mirror that too but it’s probably not as easy. And you’d have to get it custom built.
Using cheap switches on high end stuff like this is just abominable. I’d somewhat understand it on a cheap model but this… fucking hell.
I like it. The surface finish is obviously not as nice as the Logitech, but I like it. I’d probably like it better if it were smooth, which I might try achieving with some epoxy paint. The button feel is great. Better than my G502. Tracking is stellar. The shape is comfortable. The infinite/togglable scroll wheel on the G502 is sonething I wish it had but I can live without it. There’s also that special feeling, that someone decent made it, and that it can be infinitely repaired. If it’s not a stretch money-wise for you - get one. In the worst case scebario your money would have gone supporting open source hardware.
I’ll try to remember to post if I end up doing it.
I have a Logitech from 2003 or so. The feet are gone. The plastic under the feet is rubbed rmooth. The Omron switches are still great, no failure symptoms. Meanwhile I replaced a G500 after couple of years of use due to a switch developing “double-click” from wear. The reason I needed another wired mouse now is that another Logitech developed double-clicking. So yeah, exactly.
LOL, makes sense. I’m considering using epoxy. Seems like there’s a product that can be brushed on. It fills the gaps. Can be painted if desired.
Or titanium? But that would probably require midifications of the bendy bits to keep them flexible. 😂
How’d you make the surface this smooth?
How much should it be? It uses a great sensor, Omron main switches, it’s built by two guys in Toronto, Canada where rent isn’t cheap. There’re definitely cheaper massproduced mice that don’t share IP for free. This isn’t that.
Yeah, definitely 3D printed.
It feels good. I’m thinking of smoothing it with epoxy but it’s not necessary.
It’s allright. It’s not as nice as the flywheel/clickwheel on G502 but it’s alright. It doesn’t accidentally spin for me so far. I imagine one of the custom buttons could be used to enable/disable scrolling along with some script, if it becomes a problem.
Might not be too difficult to achieve by connecting a small electric motor to the scroll wheel axle. Then you could vary the resistance by changing a pot hooked the motor’s terminals.
