I think I may buy another Semi-Vertical Mouse.

I am trying to get used to the Logitech Ego M575. The ball is not the issue, my hand placement, maybe. I either keep clicking on the back button, which is located as part of the left click button, or if I move my hand further away, resting my hand I tend to easily right-click (the slightest weight does it).

A semi-vertical mouse, you can let your hand rest upon, as opposed to a vertical mouse, which has you almost gripping the mouse. Attached is a photo example of a semi-vertical (what most of my mice usually look like). It is more of an angle, than truly vertical.

I would be curious about getting one with a ball, still. I do like that I am not needing to move the mouse.

I paid the extra money to buy myself a Logitech Ego M575.

A lot of people recommended this mouse when I kept mentioning that I often have mice die on me. I am now questioning if people who suggested this mouse, actually ever used this mouse, or understood my issue.

The scroll wheel, the middle button / wheel, between the left and right button of most PC mice, is what normally dies on me. And when people recommended the ball, I wrongfully assumed, the ball could be used for scrolling. That is not the case, the ball is used for the pointer and the mouse remains stationary.

I presume most people must have been thinking, I could just click on the scroll bar and then use the ball. The goal is never to use that scroll bar and just infinitely scroll via the mouse. That is why I depend on the scroll wheel.

So far, the mouse works - I just got it yesterday. I guess I'll see how long this mouse last.

That time (4 months ago, see quote), I got frustrated and took apart my PC Mouse to clean the inside. I don't know if it is that they get dirty or the reflective wheel loses the silver paint, or whatever. But eventually, it becomes harder to scroll. By that I mean, for example, I'll be trying to scroll down the page, and it will jump up sometimes (or the other way around).

misskey.deLinux Is Best (@Linux_Is_Best)What did I do for my lunch break, besides have lunch? I took apart my vertical computer mouse in an effort to clean out the scroll wheel, hopes that I can get it to work better. Lately, whenever I scroll down, the mouse sometimes jumps up, for example. #PcMouse #Mouse #Hardware (📎1)
