Sina, do gaming w Wireless mouse with silent switches recommendation

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.

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.

-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’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’m so confused. Did you enjoy it and wanted more? I have good news, there is a sequel…

@passepartout@feddit.org avatar

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

passepartout,
@passepartout@feddit.org avatar

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 ;)

Or if you know better place to ask (other than /r/…), I’d be glad.

This is on Reddit, but it has people talking about just buying new mouse switches for arbitrary mice and resoldering them.

old.reddit.com/r/…/silent_mouse_switches/

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:

old.reddit.com/…/how_to_make_a_g305_silent_this_w…

Additionally, it looks like silent mice are a thing, so you’ve probably got a number of options out there if you want off-the-shelf.

kaedon,

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.

Here’s the switches: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803887113310.htmlAnd the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPUPIjv1kI

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.

kurcatovium,

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…

kaedon,

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

Wow that swelling problem is mysterious!

It’s not easy to find info like the sound of the switch/button with gaming mice.

Maybe the Razer Pro Click, Razer’e answer to the MX Master mice, could work for you.

kurcatovium,

I have two problems with this.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Kissaki,

The last mouse I bought is a Razer. The bottom is an awful dust collector. Never again.

Pheonixdown, do gaming w Wireless mouse with silent switches recommendation

I used a Nexus (nxstek.com) for years and it still worked great, only replaced it when I switched to a vertical mouse for wrist ergo, now my wife still uses, and it’s the mouse that’s lasted her the longest (she’s hard as fuck on mice for some reason). I’d suggest you check out the SM-8000B from them.

@fernandofig@reddthat.com avatar

Sorry to slightly derail the thread, but I’ll probably be on the market for a vertical mouse soon as well, which one do you use / recommend? I’ve been using Logitech mice for decades now, so I’ve naturally looked into their options and I’m not quite convinced on the ergonomics of the ones I’ve seen.

Pheonixdown,

I’ve been using the Zelotes C-10 (wired for my desktop) and F-17 (wireless for work laptop), when they say vertical, they mean it. Anecdotally, it has helped with my wrist pains. I also wanted the extra buttons on the C-10, so I could map them for gaming (I also use a Razer Tartarus for my left hand for gaming).

RangerJosie, do games w Steam adds new "Trending Free" tab to hide demos from new & trending

This is why console demos are so rare anymore.

Try before you buy means fewer sales on launch day.

Informed consumers are careful with their money. And that’s bad. Apparently.

Rakonat,

When your core gameplay loop is all of 15 minutes long that feeds into a 40-60 hour repetitive grind to unlock a slightly better item, new title or recolored cosmetic, combined with a complete absence of quality or competent writing, innovative mechanics while it’s apparent most of the budget went into marketing and pre-rendered cutscenes that can be just watched on youtube, yeah it’s bad to give potential customers a 30 minute demo that displays everything your game is without hinting any additional benefit for purchasing the full game.

Oh my God this is so much nicer. I was getting so sick of trying to navigate the category and having the same live action free to play games appear every time. I have some games that I can remove from my ignore list now

JackGreenEarth, do games w Steam adds new "Trending Free" tab to hide demos from new & trending

I like free games, eg Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Minetest, Unciv, etc. Why would people be against free games, especially here where people are generally FLOSS advocates?

Pika,

I’m not against free games, and if I was interested in a free game I would actively search for one. But usually if you’re searching for trending games it’s because there’s a sale going and you don’t give a shit about the free to play games at that time. Especially considering that the big free games that are “trending” are the same games every single sale.

I like the better separation between the two for sure

Rakonat,

It’s less that I hate free games, it’s more that a lot of games on Steam that are free are either the freemium model, where they are basically mobile games with inapp purchases you’re expected to buy to make progress, or some some shovelware trash that’s a one trick pony and generally just a knock off of something more popular and better executed.

Yes there are examples of great free to play games, but overall so many of them on steam are not worth downloading and clog up the trending list since if someone really wanted their game full of microtransactions to get noticed, they can just work a bot net to register new accounts and download the game to cause the steam algorithm to pick it up and put it on the trending page despite it having a poor user count.

This is just great!

Psythik,

Yeah I can’t wait to try some new games today! Usually it’s impossible to find a good F2P game unless it’s really popular. Like Once Human, for example. I see why it’s popular but the gameplay loop isn’t for me. Too much gathering/crafting, and dungeons aren’t fun as a solo player. I was bored after 2 days.

Thanks to this new category, now I can just go down the list until I find something I can enjoy.

smeg,

This is a shameless self-plug but I post a lot of free games in !freegames. They’re primarily limited-time giveaways, but I also tag some with [Forever-Free Friday] which might be more what you’re looking for.

How does one "almost get PTSD? Was it Acute Stress Disorder?

memeflicks,

Oh shoot, not really. None of those, in fact. I wasn’t really thinking when using the term in the title and was so used to all the memey usage of it.

otp,

Cheers. I’m very much against the “memification” of psychological disorders. Another commonly “memed” one is OCD. If you look up what those actually are all about, you’ll see a major gap between the meme version and the real version.

Which is normally fine for most things, until someone says they have PTSD or OCD and the average person thinks “Oh lol it’s no big deal, I have that sometimes too!”
