Ok fedi - hit me up with recommendations for a new keyboard and mouse (see reply)!
The board should be mechanical (but rather silent), 100%, full height, function keys like play/stop & volume/mute (I still have my audio interface, so not that important) are appreciated although not necessary, at least a white if not RGB backlight would be great and the cable must be removable and USB-C.
The mouse should be wireless (via dongle), have variable DPI settings, have at least back/forward buttons and a USB-C port. Bluetooth would be a nice-to-have, but I don't really need it.
Je sais pas pour vous les enfants mais moi je suis un peu hypé par la venue de #Mouse, ce #FPS en noir et blanc à la sauce Mickey sous stéroïdes. La DA semble vraiment valoir le détour en tout cas. Pour le moment, le jeu est annoncé en 2025…. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BZAVznVPMh8
Who the hell came up with the idea that the mouse cursor is drawn by the clients in Wayland? The cursor is so important, it should always be drawn by the compositor, always perfectly, and as close to vblank as physically possible.
~ me, struggling with cursor bugs after setting GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, like wtf
I’m setting up a soldering station to finish building my new open source mouse from Ploopy. I purchased some vintage billiard balls to I have an “eight ball” as it was out of stock when I ordered mine and I 3D printed my own case in PETG with two tone colors.
I just have to solder the sensor to the board and assemble it, but since I’ll have so many billiard balls as 1.75” is hard to find and non standard I may make another for the office.
Die Hauptfunktion des Internets ist und bleibt natürlich die Verbreitung von Katzenbildern und -videos. Dem kann ich mich natürlich auch nicht ganz verschliessen ... #caturday#kitten#mouse#generativeart#midjourney
The cat found a mouse in the back door hallway and was having a fine time trying to catch it among the shoes.
To avoid a blood bath, I grabbed the cat to move him to the next room and close the door. This did not work well and was very much like trying to hang onto a tiny thunderstorm with claws.
p.s. I think the mouse is now hiding under the washing machine
The cats and I have caught two mice so far. The cats corner the mouse and then I drop the dog dish over the mouse.
There will probably be more, we've evicted an adult and a smaller one. #mouse
I'm unable to measure this, but I could swear that under Wayland (Weston, KWin) my touchpad mouse cursor movement is delayed by about 1 frame compared to X11 (KWin). It feels like when you enable the software cursor in a game. Does anyone feel the same? 🖱️
Was briefly concerned that I had nothing to play with until I remembered saving one of @babe 's mouse videos because the mouse looked a bit worried and like it needed someone to chat with.
