In Poland (1980s), when I was 15, there were 10 of us, one of our friends had a VCR, we collected a few VHS tapes (tenth copies) from Germany and watched them all night long on a CRT TV.

Those were the times…

And now everything is free, effortless…

Better than musicbrainz

That reminds me that there’s not really a good opensource art database out there, with low barrier of entry. There’s the bouru sites, but it’s not really a database, and more sharing site.
I’m still pissed off at how awful pixiv search is.

Razer mouse

Up to 20 programmable buttons

I have an MX Master 2S with programmable buttons and gestures and I never use them lol

Only 4000 DPI. :wink:

When my mouse makes sudden movements, it ends up in the neighbor’s house. :wink:

I got a g502 hero, and I love the scroll wheel fidget spinner.

Altough I’d love to use the buttons… if the logitech app was linux compatible…
Come on logitech! The steamdeck exist! make it compatible already!

Have you tried this?

“Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.”

Let me know how it goes.

I have a couple of the original Razer mice in the hardware cupboard. Still with their original tins.


(Stolen image, not my actual mouse)

I use a Logitech Master now. It always confuses me when I attempt to use someone’s mouse that does not have forward\back buttons on it. My thumb gets confused.

To get a mouse with a physical ball. :wink:

There is Allegro in Poland. The spell of memories.

I think that Razer was my last ball mouse. But it was twitchy and fast.

And the rollers had to be cleaned.

If you want to frag fast you kept your ball clean. And a quality matt. I think I used to use a chopping board back in the turn of the century CS days. Extra grip.

What did mom say about that?

Need to look for an RS-232 to USB or PS/2 to USB adapter.

I’ll check it out later
