Who else hopes that Nintendo will implement an immersive/wholesome UI/System for the Switch 2 such as the 3DS and Wii U had? in c/3ds

[–] ownsauce 4 points 2 days ago

I've given up on Nintendo due to their business practices and how they treat their fans. I only have an SNES Classic, otherwise I've moved on to the SteamDeck and PC gaming.

I might come back if they make another Wii with the wiimote and nunchuck, since I prefer that to VR.

Maybe they'll see an increase in 9/11 first responder style cancers and lung issues over the next few years.

It may or may not have ended like an Office Space printer.

Overly bright LED's and too fast color cycling was my 'PC Load Letter' moment.

Thanks. Unfortunately the RGB Sabre Pro Championship Series isn't supported so I was never able to get this to work

Thanks. Unfortunately iCUE does not work on Linux and Corsair mice are not compatible with OpenRBG or Open Razer

Thanks! Looks like this Logicool M500s Wired Mouse has everything I'm looking for.

DPI is a bit low, but it might not matter. I'll see if any of my local electronic stores have one to try out this week.

Soliciting Recommendations for a Linux Friendly Wired Gaming Mouse.

Ideally:

No RGB (or at least has linux software compatibility to turn off the RGB craziness ~~without terminal commands~~)
Wired (USB-A or USB-C)
Scroll Wheel that has left and right movement for scrolling left and right on wide pages when browsing interwebs)
Two programmable buttons by the thumb (I use it for forward/back for internet browsing, and for hotkeys for gaming)
DPI increase/decrease buttons
Asymmetrical Ergonomic shape for a large hand

I have a couple of Corsair Sabre RGB Pro, Wired and Wireless but the RBG is too crazy on the new wired version and I don't have access to a MAC or Windows PC to install the Corsair Software to program the mouse to be less Epileptic Seizure Techno Rave Dance Party RGB I'M NOW LEGALLY BLIND Insanity. I wasn't able to get any linux hacks/terminal commands to work to edit or turn off the RGB.

(Edit: CorsairRGB Sabre Pro Championship Series isn’t supported in ckb-next or in Open RGB)

I also had a couple Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro wired, that had scroll wheel issues that made the scroll wheel unusable, so I am hesitant to buy any Razer mice due to their reliability issues with the scroll wheel.

(Edit: unless these are all bots, Razer has some serious issues with their scroll wheels recently for so many people to have the same problem)

I had some Razer mice from 2007 that fit my criteria but they have all broken and I can't find a decent replacement.

PLS I just want a wired linux gaming mouse without RGB and with all the buttons. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Current Short List:
