I’ve repaired this worthless older generation Logitech G Hero mouse 5 times in two years, but after its most recent cleaning the 5 pin cable molex snapped and I feel absolutely no desire to keep this creature alive for another moment.
I had a similar cable failure on a Logitech keyboard awhile back, which admittedly I did fix and do plan to keep around because it’s hard to find a mechanical keyboard with an aluminium body and also NOT completely covered to the teeth with rainbow LEDs.
Can anybody recommend me a good durable mouse, preferably not aimed at gamers?
I can’t speak to long-term reliability, but this open source design is designed to be repairable: https://ploopy.co/mouse/
It’s cool, do they plan to at some point sell just the internals?
The entire BOM is listed you can just 3d print it and build the internals directly.
The biggest hurdle is getting the PCB but you can just order from pcbway
I built and use my ploopy mouse daily. It’s exactly what I wanted.
It’s asking a lot to have people print and solder their own mice internals together, even with a parts list. I suppose making the chassis was already a bit of an ask as well, though.
Sorry; no idea. I’m not affiliated with them. I found them organically (almost certainly from an open source community here on lemmy) and I just think it’s a really cool project and business model worth supporting.
That’d be cool but I’m fine with buying the entire thing as they deserve it, but even more cool would be a cordless option.
Yeah, I think I read on some forum that a wireless model might be in the works. 🤞
