Since nobody else will do it, despite everyone crying and begging for years. Plus, Finalmouse are just too incompetent to pull it off, even though they tried.
I have a G403, as well as a Revel and a DM1 Pro S because I'm that kind of guy. I main the G403, but like the others too, despite their m1 / m2 inconsistencies.
So... On we go, designing the new classic.
My 'design' :
- Exact same shape, don't go messin' about!
- Love the original wheel too. Easy clicks, little bit notchy, light scroll, light click. Sweet.
- No braided cable, Nixeus / Zowie cables are nice. But make it slightly higher than original or point upwards, it's a bit close to the mat.
- Find a way to add a couple of usable thumb buttons. Switches on the side of the shell, on separate board, best feel. Couple dollars more won't hurt.
- I like my G403 m1 / m2 clicks too. Copy that! Originals not bad either. Basically, mechanical, not a cheap flexing shell.
- 3360 sensor. Same placement as WMO.
- 75 grams or less. Light!
- Light. Lights? Whatever. Don't think anyone needs any. As long as it doesn't add needless weight.
- Driverless, DPI button, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 3200. Maybe a colored led at the bottom, like Zowies.
- Feets, well, the originals are good, something easily replaceable. Maybe Sensei-like.
- Texture... Colour... meh. I don't mind the Revel's bare plastic sides, although G403 is best, I've found. Original is plain ABS, works too.
- Price : $40-$50.
