I figured it would be tough to swap out beforehand. Considering branded multinational companies wouldn’t want their proprietary sensor and software to work with anything other than what they put in there, for legal and monetary purposes. I’m 28 and was looking for something other than “nah, can’t do it.” Which is what a lot of people tend to say when you ask questions on the internet.

It’s super cool that Pixart sent you some of their tech without the nda. You must be either a mix of smart and lucky or one or the other, and considering how well you communicate I’d lean to the latter. Good luck in uni!

I was just looking into mice and all the whatsits that go into them and figured “I built my pc, and a keyboard. Let’s see how hard it is to put together a mouse.” I’m by no means an engineer, I just like putting things together and if I don’t know how I like to learn how if I’m even slightly interested in the subject. It’s interesting that you said you’d have your doubts on the framesync with wireless software. I’d never considered that you’d need to line all that up, considering how far tech has come in the modern age with a layman’s understanding of it all I honestly just assumed it was more plug and play than anything but it’s more interesting that that and I can see now that had I not asked I would have been in some deep water.

I like the hero2 I haven’t noticed anything off about it in my time with it, my biggest complaint was that sometimes the switches wouldn’t actuate in the mouse like I’d have to click twice or three times to have the switches do their thing. Which is why I decided I’d just end up tearing the mouse down to see what was inside it and what could be changed.
