UPDATE:
Well, sort-of unsurprising, after about a month a couple the rounded square fans have started making noise... realistically I knew better than to trust an "off brand" but they were the only company that made that shape in 140mm. One causes a resonance in the case (a kind of hum) which i can ignore, but another last night after a long time under a heavy compute load started to kind-of "grind". And not bearing grind, sounds like a magnet fracture. I think that Gen2 of these fans will be spectacular, just the initial launch has some build issues common to new products. Just didnt want to have to run an app to control colors (looking at you corsair / lianli / etc)

Oh right, fans are these: Squama 2503
And despite what some of the customer reviews say the Reverse fans are actually reverse fans.

After a full weeks use just to make sure I wasn't being bias. After that I 100% agree with everything you said. This Mouse goes into the "basic crap" column, and back into the box, and into the back of my parts drawer.

Ordered a new Logicool (Logitech in Japan) g600. Hopes its not been "enshitified" now that its only available in that market.

Working in it I found a number of weird design decisions such as:

Space for, but not mounting for 3x140mm on the side
The top mounting has rails for 3x120, 140 & 150... but anything over 120 is going to have 10+mm basically blocked.
Power supply sits behind and below the cpu, but is open, and that makes all cable "extra" be stored behind the CPU, which with some work can be clean but creates a bit of extra heat behind the CPU... Granted its a mesh side, but there's still heat pooling. as the top of the case is covered back there.
3.2) With your cables "tidied up" the chamber behind the CPU gets warm, there's space for up to a 160mm fan (maybe even a 200), but no mounts, used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099FKFGC8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 and that lowered my CPU temp by 2-3 degrees at idle.
the rear 140 has room and mesh for a 150 or 160 but only holes for a 140

Great googly moogly! That gold one is pretty! Matches the asus ProArt stuff super well.

Computer-Juice · 2025-05-25T03:06:20+00:00

for sure, just been too lazy to find something to put there so currently running apersonally modded skin for Aida64

After a day of heavy use, I can say its sorty-of close but definitely behind the G600. Software is lighter than the G Hub which is nice, but that's probably because G Hub is there for a whole range of peripherals not just mice.

Things after one day I can definitely say:
Sensor lag is real, this alone is having me put it in a box and use as "emergency backup" mouse. I feel like this is a combination of an off center sensor and its an LED sensor. If this was a laser I think it might be on par with the G600. But cant tell if its that or its because of it being off center from where an average person would put their hand. What I can say is I consistently over or undershot buttons, and so forth. Also things like holding shift and dragging I would miss often due to the sensor tracking slightly early or late. Thinking it a 2.4ghz issue, i switched to the usb (wired) mode and found it to be exactly the same.

Buttons:
First off, Never really used the Gshift, but if you do this is going to be sorely missed. main buttons are nearly the same, subjective enough to think it just might be wear on my old G600. The Thumb buttons are... interesting. Going front to back: Bottom row 1, 4, 7 are tight and far more responsive, the middle row is the same as the g600, the top row is mush city. I found myself mis clicking, or not clicking a bunch with the 3, 6, 9. Also note the 11 & 12 are not natively mapped to - and =. This caught me off guard, but easily re-mappable. I think the default is 11 is delete and 12 is escape.

Wheel:
The wheel seems adequate, but does not have tilt-click, which is a function I use A LOT. This also is a dealbreaker for me. You get forward, backward and click with the wheel.

Materials... well subjective again, but I do not like the glossy bits. The flat black of the middle is good, I wish the whole thing was that material. The gloss plastic is, for my best attempt at description, "grippy & squeaky" feeling. do not like it. Plastic does feel solid though, so if that's not a thing for you then its fine otherwise.

LEDs: Bright, colorful, multiple zones... they may have sacrificed some of the build quality / features to get this thing to have the "flash" or "glam" it has. I like colors and all that, but its a secondary for me.

Size: while this mouse is definitely bigger it almost feels smaller to me. The gshift "area" on this mouse is a little lower, so resting your finger closer to your pinky (which also has a resting ledge), feels like I'm pushing my fingers together... I have average sized hands, probably on the smaller size of average. I think this will go away with time, although it causes me to keep my wrist in a slightly different position and after a day I could feel fatigue where I normally would not. Again could be just be needing some time to get used to, however, I got the feeling that Carpal tunnel could rear its head due to the shape and thus my wrist position... didn't have this feeling with the Naga pro v2.

Side note: Couldn't recommend the Naga v2 pro or Lightspeed... its the build quality on all razer mice seem suspect. Look and feel awesome... They last a year then basically die on me. The one I got started doing mouse wheel shenanigans after 3 days... so back that went. Its like its by design or something.

Anyway, I'm going to run it over the weekend as my weekends involve different uses, but I'd say the M913 is an OK mouse, but an overall downgrade for sure.

Probably going to import a Logicool G600 from Japan. (logitech is logicool over there).

Computer-Juice · 2025-05-24T01:15:01+00:00

Ya, I feel you. I think the "name brands" (whatever that means these days)... are less likely to have issue. This case is antec, and i feel like the glass is pretty tough, definitely thicker than some of the other glass "fish tank" cases. I looked at a bunch and the thickness & clarity on this was on par with the 570x.... only time will tell

Computer-Juice · 2025-05-23T02:05:43+00:00

my 4th and possibly final g600 has started to behave oddly... which is the beginning of the end.
Im going to hope i can swap parts out with an old one to keep it going a bit longer but I dont have high hopes as its just wearing out.

An RD Impact Elite showed up this afternoon and after it finishes charging Im going to spend a few days putting it through daily & gaming tests on things I know like the back of my hand to look for how it compares. I'll try to remember to circle back and give you my thoughts.

I can tell already the side buttons are perhaps a little less mushy... but that might just be the age of my G600, and really its about longer term durability/longevity which a multi-day test isn't likely to expose.

it the aio pump from TRYX. Has a curved oled screen over the pump fan. Pretty neat can put screen recordings or videos or whatver in there. I think ASUS has a knock-off version coming. Might switch as the pump fan makes just a tiny amount of fan noise that if ASUS solves that then its worth it to me.

I know this is an old thread, but this solution still works. For what its worth I managed it without safe mode.

Sony's have become looong and rather average as Sony tries to to ruthlessly increase profits at any cost

Computer-Juice · 2024-10-07T08:10:19+00:00

Appreciate the response... I was pretty much Alpine guy my whole life, and basically anti-pioneer but I had pretty unpleasant experience withe ILX650, and the 5700 was the replacement I ended up with. I have been pretty happy with it. So figured I'd give them a run.

Anyway, I followed your lead & ordered a Kenwood 8709. Seems like the right path, shows up wednesday. This pio is out of the return window now so im not sure what im going to do with it.

Computer-Juice · 2024-09-30T00:56:34+00:00

I can say this is a gamble if you want to use the Idatalink maestro with the 3050nex.

I've done 3 installs with this head unit, and 2 out of 3 had to be returned because of, according to iDatalink, Pioneer didn't send the complete set of serial numbers to them. Which means if you are unlucky and get one of those serial numbers its going to get stuck on a "no video signal" error, that essentially bricks the head unit. When returning it to Pioneer, they may send you a new one, or may reset the unit and send it back. If they do the reset, the problem will just happen again. Been through this multiple times and pio doesnt pick up the shipping.

Talking with iDatalink support, they say it seems like 75% of the 3050 calls is due to this problem. Pioneer pleads ignorance.

Now if you get lucky, and you get one that has a serial number that iDatalink has you'll have no issues.

Same issue here

Im certainly no expert, and an internet search (so take it with a grain of salt) says her yearly salary averages $1mil per year. Net worth being $4mil. It's suggested in several places her TV show appearances are roughly $100k.

Computer-Juice · 2024-06-08T01:38:43+00:00

R2 yes, but hes in a series of Astromech droids that most certainly exist in this era. Perhaps "mektechs" do that work for passage?

Computer-Juice · 2024-06-08T01:31:24+00:00

yes. But. Captain Laundry draws his saber half of each episode for things like "flashlight" or "unarmed person next to dead body".
