Aaaaand my keychron mouse is spazzing out on me. Fucking hell, this thing isn't even that old and it was expensive to boot.

@VD15 My 1st gen G502 lasted 10 years and now I feel my current MX Master will maybe last 2-3 years.
@phnt @VD15 my mx master 3s is over 4 years old now, still going good.
@newt @VD15 The rubber on my started to deteriorate within a few months of use. It's all "blistery".

@phnt @newt I used to love my old G502, but I completely wore through the rubber grip and eventually the scroll wheel stopped working so good. I'd buy another but I'm just so over needing proprietary shitware to turn off an LED.

@VD15 @phnt @newt G502 is goated. There's a open source alternative to their shitware, but I haven't tried it yet

@matrix @VD15 @newt There's also Piper/libratbag on Loonix, but that is completely broken unless you are on a soystemd distro.

@phnt @matrix @newt I was never able to get any sort of open-source shitware-alternative to work properly. r*zer was especially bad for that because some of their shit flat out would not work without it.

It's hacky at best. I just don't want to have any sort of userspace daemon running to have my hardware just werk™

@VD15 @matrix @newt My G502 had internal settings memory, so you would download the shitware once, configure it how you wanted and then never used it again. But somewhere in the last decade Logitech decided to ditch that apparently, since my mx master remembers nothing and needs to have the app launch on startup for the settings to apply. So unless the default settings are fine for you, you are screwed and need their shitware.

@phnt @matrix @newt Yeah, that's how I managed with it so long. Same with my old keyboard, I just didn't need to touch them.

I've been rugpulled by big EEPROM.
