Meanwhile a good Xbox controller will only last 100 hours
The left one looks great. Usually we don’t think of computer peripherals as gaining a patina, but it kind of works here. Good call on buying a spare, though!
Is no one gonna ask? Just me? Alright.
Why are there two scroll wheels on one mouse? My mind can’t handle being this confounded
Yo, dawg. I heard you liked scrolling so we put a wheel behind your wheel so you can scroll while you scroll.
I’ve got one of these for Photoshop. I’ve got the front wheel set up as normal, but the second wheel is set to change the brush size. It makes working much smoother, as I don’t have to use the keyboard.
I had a mouse where one was vertical and the other horizontal, but I seem to think the horizontal scroll was oriented horizontally. Having googled the mouse in the picture, it says one is programmable and suggests it starts with volume.
Why wouldn’t there just be a small trackball on the nose, wouldn’t that be more practical?
For navigating a great big thing that benefits from two axis scrolling? Yes. For literally anything else a scroll wheel might be used for, like swapping weapons in games? No. The clickyness of the average scroll wheel is actually pretty useful and can’t really be applied to a trackball.
Good choice buying the second for backup. As a console game pr I know nothing about mouses, but I would assume they don’t make this anymore after a decade.
Somewhere around here I have the HP optical mouse that used to come with their desktops. It finally quit working and I had to replace it, and I had to do the math for how long I had been using it.
Twenty years.
