Even though they look like they were made for 6 year olds they are surprisingly fun and addictive once you get into them. The only downside is that they are basically all the same. Just with different levels and different graphics. So once you've played one of them you've basically played all.

But that also means you can pick any you like based on your favorite franchise and if it leaves you wanting more of the same you have plenty more to choose from.

I was under the impression Synapse wasn't required anymore based on some articles I saw but just to be safe here are some other ones I remember seeing in the past.

12 buttons

9 buttons

4 buttons

Nope. Subtract only GK and it's correct.

Thank you so much. The 12-button, however, is actually righthanded unless I missed an option somewhere to order a southpaw rendition. If you look at the side, there are two button on the left side of it, making it a righty mouse.

The 9 button looks promising, though. I'll have to look into that one more closely.

I'm going to bed now, let's see whether it goes faster while I sleep.

Different model but same line, and all of their mice use the same always-online mouse software so that blows.

All 3 of those are ambidextrous mice, so it should work

EDIT: I see what you mean, yeah those 2 lower buttons would be difficult to use, the 9 button one might be better.

Morning, has a story about my uncle already been in the last cycle?

Yeah, you don't have to use Synapse, you can use their ancient unsupported software that came before it that is also buggy like I had to do. It was less buggy but didn't have as many features either. Or you can use the Windows mouse driver and only use 3 of the 20 buttons. It's a lose lose situation for hardware that costs $70+ IMHO.

It boggles my mind that a company would use such a patently ridiculous driver method, it's like if a keyboard manufacturer decided to use a keylogger to ensure your typing experience was optimised. i hope you got your money back

Thx, i checked the list first, but it said updated 7 hours ago :). Still have a chance for a story about my uncle

I just updated it now, but the only difference was the removal of Gabriel Knight.

Nope, I tried to do a warranty replacement and they gave me every dodge they could to weasel out of it, I forgot to mention that too. One of the worst hardware experiences I've ever had when I take the hardware and software issues and their poor quality outsourced-to-asia tech support all into account.

Three, actually, as looking more closely at the picture on the ergonomic pic shows another one lower down. Using it lefthanded would have the heel of my palm triggering them all the time. It is a righthanded mouse, as those are intended for fingertips to access, not the side of your hand. The pictures on their site don't really make it easy to see, though.

That 9-button, on the other hand, looks very promising. I haven't used that brand before, but it would surely be a step up from this dinky 3-button mouse that's literally smaller than my palm.

Thank you once again.
