I consider Razer the most over-hyped and over-priced peripheral producer. The products I’ve seen were not bad, but did cost at least twice as much as their feel suggested. I don’t want to support this.
Tilt-wheel. Every mouse I’ve held that had tilt wheel was PITA in the long run. I probably grip the mouse wrong, but I very often tilted the wheel instead pressing the button.
I’m not familiar with this, but it sounds like it’s practical to just take a mouse, buy new mouse switches, swap them out, as long as you can solder. So if you’ve got another mouse that does what you want – and it sounds like you like the Logitech G305 – you can probably just modify it, if you’re willing to put in the effort. I’d read up on this further before going that route.
This post specifically deals with replacing the switches on a Logitech G305 to make it silent:
I can highly recommend this! The switches are very cheap and I love my silent G305. The hardest part was probably the middle click button but you can skip that one if you don’t care about it as much. While you’re inside, you could clean the scroll wheel which might fix your swelling problem.
I am not very skilled with solder and found it very easy. You don’t need anything fancy like a desoldering gun. Just a regular soldering iron with some solder and flux worked for me.
Soldering should be fine, this will probably end up as long winter evening project at some point. Was it possible to re-use gliders after dismembering the mouse?
Swelling problem won’t be fixed as easy. The material of the wheel just expanded, the rubber is twice as big as new one to the point it can’t fit in its hole in the mouse. Internet is full of the same problems, it was either defective batch or it reacts with some specific agent in some people’s sweat. Never the less, the only way is to replace the whole wheel. Need to find out which of my friends have a 3D printer…
It depends on how worn they are. You could probably reused the gliders if you are careful when removing them. I did end up replacing mine though. Here’s some replacements: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805149791432.html
I’m not going to play Mafia 2 since Mafia 1 was way too short for me, like 5-6 hours and I didn’t rush it. Not much to do after the main story ist complete and not the biggest replay value.
I kind of liked it but there was not enough content to justify the price, even at the sale i got it from. But maybe i was just asking too much from a game that has been released more than 20 years ago.
This makes a lot more sense! You feel you didn’t receive what you thought you had paid for, and don’t want to do that again. Sorry for downvoting you initially, but I hope you can see how it originally came off
I liked it, I guess I could have emphasized that a little more. I just wished there would be more to it, since the game is coming from a big publisher (2K) and the imho hefty asking price of 40€ (for the definitive edition, without sale).
No need to feel sorry for voting on opinions either way btw ;)
-I finished Mafia 2 long before I finished Mafia 1 and I loved it. But after playing Mafia 1 DE, I replayed Mafia 2 and the story felt worse than Mafia 1. -F***ing police. They are everywhere. -Stupid achievements like “drive 1000 miles”, “collect 150 posters”.
I remember it was fine when I played it 14 years ago. Not as good as the original, but quite enjoyable. The remaster is comically bugged though, at least on Xbox.
You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)
This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.
It’s an okay game, but far worse than the first two. They forced an open world onto it, and made it pretty repetitive. The DLC is more linear and feels a lot more like a typical Mafia story telling.
Oh man I remember the open-world obsession era. It’s still sort of with us, but a few companies are daring to stick with linear narratives that don’t allow as many branching paths, like Control or Alan Wake 2. Even non-linear narratives are being pulled off in non-open-world games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
The remake has much better gunplay and graphics, and overall has been ‘smoothed out’, but personally I think the new casting choices were unbelievably bad, and take all of the soul out of the game.
If you can get past the jank of the original (and get the community patch to add the old music back in), I personally think the original is the better game by far, but I was a huge fan of the original, so I’m biased.
