Ok,
lets say a mouse for left and right handed persons.. (aka Ambidextrous)
Shouldn't it perform exactly the same on each side? left/right
Of course this is hard to test, bcs we are usually not both left/right handed.
Anyway, this is how i used to "measure" it (did some frankenmousing in the past and needed to get an idea of how to place/center the board)
1. Put a ruler, or something which is at least 4 mm thick, on the left side of the mouse.
2. Open ms paint and choose the option to draw rectangles.
3. Now try to do, as u would do drawing straight vertical lines with a ruler and pen on paper (u shoud see rectangles on the screen)
Keep watching the bottom left corner. (second from the left) Theres the X/Y information. Try to move like 500 px in one fluid motion. This is what one of my g100s shows for example: "11 x 511"
4. Repeat 1-3 with the ruler on the right side. (My g100s shows "32 x 511")
Obviously it only works with ambidextrous mice with angle snapping off.
As both of my logitech g100s show completly different results, heres the question: Do the mouse manufacturers just do a lazy job putting there hardware together, or is this test flawed?
Do we really have to unscrew the mouse (and avoid warranty) just to fix it by ourselfs? Shouldn't every mouse feel exactly the same, in case we have to replace it?
