excalibur1814 Won't be long now! The price will soon hit £250+. You keep paying, the price will continue to rise. Nice mouse though (looks at his MX Master 2S) Reply
Findecanor Interesting … I don't think I feel any need to buy but I would like to try it, first to see if the tech delivers an experience similar to that of conventional mechanical microswitches, and second to see if tweaking it in software could actually give you a noticeable difference. My guess is that the latter will be very subtle. I love this kind of tech though. I have made my own keyboard and mouse firmware (sort of: bus mouse to USB adaptor), and I have worked with haptics. In my view, claims of a switch such as this being fast is mostly marketing hyperbole, however. While you could reduce the actuation distance, and thus reduce the input delay that way, I believe that it is unimportant. Switch delay is something that the human brain adapts to easily. People now play retro games on emulators with modern wireless gamepads — and those setups have much larger input delay compared to vintage hardware, and people are able to adapt to that. Those are a much slower than the benefit of using fast 8KHz polling or magnetic switches A hall effect or TMR switch allows for fast switching both on press and release, whereas a conventional mechanical switch/microswitch could have a delayed release. "Rapid trigger" tech in keyboards is for switching fast between opposing directions (A-D, W-S) when moving a character in a video game, which allows players to dodge incoming shots more easily. When you have "one-shot" events, however, such as triggering a simulated semi-automatic weapon in a FPS, for instance, then a 5 ms delay on the release of a mouse button does not matter in my opinion. And even when the firing is continuous, a simulated high rapid fire machine gun will need at least 40 ms to cycle anyway. Reply
cknobman Hard to believe there is a large enough market to support mice that cost $150+. Its a friggin mouse for crying out loud. Reply

Char7es I would rather have a productiviy mouse with these micorswitches if they are more durable. I would pay more for a mouse I didn't have to replace the swithes every few years when they got the double click issue. Prehaps logitech should look at putting them on the 3d connection mice. Reply
