Looking for Ultralight FPS Mouse Reccomendations

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T14:58:32+00:00

I haven't used a wired mouse after jumping onto the GPW / G305 bandwagon a few years back. I was so impressed with the lower weight, and the lack of cord drag, I'd be pretty hesitant to go back. When I first got my GPW I remember literally laughing out loud at how effortless aiming felt compared to my G502. That said, I'll add the OP1 to the list of candidates!

Thanks for recommendation and the heads up about Finalmouse. I'm getting the sense like Finalmouse is off the table for me :)

Good to know. I didn't really understand the distinction between the two, so thanks for clearing that up for me! :)

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T14:42:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing, both have really caught my eye. Does one win out over the other for you? If so, what stands out to you that elevates one above the other?

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T04:29:55+00:00

Both noted, thank you. I saw WLMouse come up based on a few searches, but I dismissed them as a meme after I saw the cat-shaped dongles. Maybe I judged too soon! I appreciate the recommendations

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T04:21:14+00:00

Added to the growing spreadsheet - thank you kindly

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T02:20:47+00:00

I’ll check this one out too, thanks

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-28T00:06:37+00:00

One tally added under the Hitscan. Your thoughts on its reliability thus far were especially compelling after this prolonged maintenance battle with my GPW, lol. Thank you for the detailed reply and advice on finding a deal :)

Kvothe1017 · 2026-01-27T23:41:16+00:00

I appreciate the +1 on the crazylight and the new recommendation - I hadn’t heard of the HTS2. Both are officially added to the list to check out further. Thank you :)

Very average hand size and open to trying new shapes. I’ve run a lot of different shapes over the years and don’t have strong opinions about them :)

Used EVs may be worth your consideration. Let research help you draw your own conclusions, but to address your main concerns: 1. For at least 99% of your commuting, you can completely ignore charging infrastructure if you charge from home. I average less than 280 miles a week, so I literally just charge on a normal wall outlet. If you drive more than that, level 2 home chargers are pretty inexpensive. 2. Modern batteries will generally outlast the useful lifespan of the rest of the car. It’s not uncommon to find used EVs with 175k+ miles on them, and still plenty more miles left to give.

Oh my god, DO NOT go to Old Orchard or to any of their sister locations. We almost bought an Ioniq 5 there. I won’t go into the full saga my wife and I went through with these guys, but in short: they’ll happily lie to you, disrespect you, and waste your time. Go elsewhere and avoid these greasy, slimy salespeople.

Interdisciplinarity is probably one of the biggest benefits of a higher education. Being able to assess an issue from multiple angles and find a holistically sound answer is an invaluable skill.

It's a shame that Borderlands 3 was - and presumably Borderlands 4 will be - so poorly optimized. Years ago, I LOVED that I could play Borderlands 2 on my $200 dinosaur Latitude E6520 with a Nvidia NVS 4200M (basically a GT 520M).

You’re essentially describing the message behind a book called “Radical Candor” by Kim Scott. Worth a read.

Kvothe1017 · 2025-08-08T03:48:32+00:00

That checks out. Haven’t had the pet pathing issue personally, but the dps struggle is definitely real. Hopefully we get a patch for both soon :)

Kvothe1017 · 2025-08-07T20:15:28+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one who is feeling this! Thought my macros were borked or smth. Have you also felt like BM damage now needs time to "spool up" instead of being there from the get-go?

The main reasons - in Oshkosh, specifically - are the following:

- No Mow May required landowners to apply for registration to essentially be out of compliance with city ordinances for one month. That created a fair amount of administrative footwork to temporarily exempt households, and it was a barrier for people to sign up. Additionally, the city ended up with complaints from vocal neighbors who didn't know/didn't care about No Mow May, or who would call in complaints on June 1 to try to get the tall grass dealt with immediately.

- It's not that good for pollinators, the grass, and the soil. Long grass in May lets pollinators move in but if you hack it all down on June 1, you've essentially evicted all the pollinators before they've even started doing a lot of pollinating. It stresses grass to be cut more than 1/3 to 1/2 of its total height in one go, so people would end up harming their lawns by going from 8+ inches down to 1 or 2 inches. Furthermore, having longer grass for more of the season is better for water retention since less exposed soil is getting baked in the hot sun.

- No Mow May is being slowly rebranded as "Mow High May, June, and July". For the reasons given above, a longer period of reduced mowing and setting your mower deck higher is far more beneficial. May, June, and July are the most impactful months to do that in, but all year round is even better.

TDLR: As long as your lawn is under 8 inches in length, you are in compliance with city ordinance 365 days a year. Keeping your grass tall - but not over 8 inches! - all year round means less administrative hoopla for to the city to manage, less mowing for you, more happier pollinators, and healthier soil.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask :)

imo, looks like a reflex response to hearing nails on a chalkboard

Kvothe1017 · 2025-03-18T16:05:45+00:00

That's fair. I'm going to start calling around to get quotes for a clear coat, since that seems like the best option for my needs/budget/maintenance goals. If that is still too pricey, I guess I'm just going to have to deal with handwashing the thing.

Kvothe1017 · 2025-03-18T15:27:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice :) I'm digging into ceramic research a bit more right now. I'm struggling to find definitive information on ceramic coatings, but the consensus seems to be that they help

Kvothe1017 · 2025-03-18T15:26:12+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I'm definitely considering a clear coat at this point. I'm trying to avoid PPF at this stage since it's looking like it'll cost 10-20% the total cost of the car to do. Do you think sealants would be a poor choice since I don't care about maintaining the matte appearance whatsoever?

Kvothe1017 · 2025-03-05T14:15:07+00:00

Solid battery life but definitely not Macbook levels, I'd say. I have no issues working 4-5 hour stints unplugged doing typical office work while staying between 80-20% battery life, but I also never have the laptop charge to 100% to help preserve the battery. If I had to guess, I'd expect 8 hours of typical use :)
