Hi folks. I’m looking for a new gaming mouse, that’s Linux friendly. I prefer wired lightweight mice, with an option to swap out (or solder) the switches. I’m currently using the Cooler Master MM720 which I love, but it’s too loud for our tiny apartment, so I want something I can throw silent switches into. The MM720 uses optical switches so there aren’t many options.
I’ve looked so far at the OP1, and that’s literally the only thing that comes up when I search on reddit, so much so that it feels like an advertisement at this point. I’m not into crazy competitive gaming, and don’t need 8k or anything fancy like that.
Thanks!

@mugita_sokiovt @fleet Heavily recommending against the MX Masters for gaming - they’re comfy and have nice features but they only have a 125Hz polling rate.

@mugita_sokiovt I used too many Razers but always had to return them under warranty and now I’m just rocking a cheapo Redragon mouse, which is so far “good enough”
Most scroll wheels go to shit after a couple years to be fair. It’s like the single most common failure point for every mouse ever.
Finding a mouse that has a scroll wheel that lasts longer than 3 years with out quirks is a rarity. That or you don’t use your scroll wheel very much.
