How do you like the Roller Mouse?

[–] mrpibb 2 points 2 years ago

Love it. Wish they made a Linux driver. It works fine but horizontal scrolling is nicer on Windows with their driver and utility app. I’ve spoke with customer support and they said not expect full Linux support any time soon but that it could come in a few years. I had some RSI from mousing and this helped. Easy to use left or right hand and keeps your hands near the keyboard home row. I keep one at work and one at home but both I got used for about ~$60.

What CPU does the T530 have?

I have a T520 and a 3rd gen i5 CPU so I'd love to flash coreboot onto it to get that Ivy Bridge glory. Even if it's only an i5, I could later get a quad core.

It’s an i5 at the moment. I have a 3840qm and the dual pipe hsf to swap in. When I get around to that I have a mini dock I’m going to setup.

I can tolerate many things, but using Linux without Mod4 is beyond my understanding lol

My Super key is remapped to CapsLock on the Model M.
