So I developed an allergy and stand firmly behind my position that a computer mouse is not allowed to require a driver to function. Then there's Linux and LANs, but more importantly, I can't install anything on a locked down work computer (I obviously need a good mouse and keyboard for work, so they need to just work). Don't get me started with later Razer always-online crap. I stopped using Razer after they made their mice so cheap they couldn't even remember button assignments, while at the same time Roccat was making mice which needed no drivers at all (all settings you can change with button combos). Yeah, I have an allergy to mouse drivers. Great tracking, great shape.Īre you willing to let go of the spare by any chance? I am working on something and would like to have an Aurora for analysis. Ofcourse, you will only notice it if you 1) perform those actions often and 2) use mouse1 & mouse2 for those actions.Īpart from these 2 major deal breakers, the Aurora is a solid mouse. moving in and out of ADS aim while shooting These figures seem very small, but if you've used the Aurora long enough it will result in you having trouble when you have to perform an action that requires both main clicks to be pressed together or in rapid succession. An example of another mouse that has a high m1+m2 delay is Razer Abyssus, and that was still at 20-25ms. When you press left click (mouse1) and then press right click (mouse2), or the other way round, there is a firmware flaw forcing a 50-55ms delay. The second issue is the m1+m2 click latency. If you made the change once successfully, and then left it as it is, then you fluked and did the right thing. Hard to say when, but it happens a lot so won't take much to find out. It is likely to happen to you, but it might not be at the first or second attempt. First is the software/firmware issue, where any change made and applied to the onboard settings had a high chance to brick the mouse. If you're that interested in Ninox Auroras, I'm surprised you don't know about the 2 major issues with this mouse. Chinese universal PTFE feet (pack of a 100 for dollar or something, WMO size I think) get glued on top of the original plastic ones, as trying to cut something this small with scissors doesn't look better anyways. Rubber coating mostly flaked off, trying to remove the rest of it scratched through the paint so I stopped, it looks really tired. Needed a contact cleaner spray into the microswitches several times, of course. Which is why I have spare Auroras! And now you're scaring me that they will all die! Everyone making light mice simply copies Zowie aka WMO shape, aka fat bottom I can't use. Chinese Diamondback-shaped cheap mice still exist, but they're unusable for gaming. I'm in the same boat as you, I can't use anything that has a fat end, aka anything available on the market. What about a brand new spare I have in the closet? Will that die the second I get it out of the box and try to set the speed? ![]() ![]() So you're saying even if those Auroras keep soldiering on, they will all die the second someone installs the original software? The list I made above though are as good as it gets for mice though.Is this a problem with certain batch of Auroras? Or perhaps using it with the software running in the background so it wears out the flash? Mine was programmed once and refuses to die after what, 7 years? My friend has two working for 4+ years. There is a mouse I did not list called the Ninox Aurora that was developed specifically for the fps gaming crowd by an avid fan, however, the sensor used was not particularly a community favorite and I have not kept up with it in regards to reviews and such to see if it is worth a damn, but might be worth looking into. *Added personal thoughts on the ones I have personally owned and used for at least a month*īest advice to give you, steer clear of laser mice and stick with high quality optical sensor mice such as those listed above. Zowie FK1 (using the same sensor as the Rival this is a much smaller alternative and somewhat closer to the IME. ![]() SteelSeries Rival (sadly too big for my hands, otherwise this one was very nice) Logitech G502 Proteus (Was not a fan of the feel + the weighting felt off even with counters) For FPS specifically, look at the top options:
