Last FM summary for 2025. It's a little bit scuffed because I only got it working on my phone in August, but it's still pretty representative of the overall vibe. Just perhaps some incorrect numbers. This year will be a lot more accurate, I got scrobbling working perfectly.

So, I did the unthinkable and put a Redragon mouse on my Christmas wishlist. My dad ended up buying it for me. I had vowed to never buy Redragon shit a long time ago but from everything that I've heard they had been increasing in quality quite a lot recently. Looked up some videos of this mouse and people seemed to think it was actually pretty good.

I don't know, maybe it is for some people, but for me it just does not work at all. The shape is fucked and it REALLY forces a full palm grip from a large hand. I have a sort of half palm grip to begin with and my hands are just not that big. Some of the buttons I just flat out can't reach without drastically shifting my hand placement. My pointer finger can barely press in the scroll button.

I feel bad not enjoying something I was gifted, especially because I really should have gone with my gut and just never put it on the wishlist in the first place.

However, this led me to looking for repair methods for my G604 again. Turns out, relatively recently (like, past 8 months ish), some company has been making replacement boards with new switches already soldered in. They're like, $16. Taking apart this mouse and putting it back together seems like an absolute shit show, but it might actually be worth it to save this thing. If it ends up working, I might just give that Redragon mouse away to someone else. My roommate is still using like, a cheap as fuck two button one. Like really it feels like a McDonald's toy lol. Or I could just keep it as a backup, use it on my downstairs PC for guests or whatever.

reminder that critikal really is fucking retarded
