You could give one of these mice as a gift for an employee who had "Earned that corner office" or had moved up in the company.

    • Seems like the electronics are as good as they need to be to me, and the rest is hard to argue isn't 'quality', could it be a little more premium sure, but then the Apple mouse could have a charging port in a less stupid place - that is a much bigger flaw in a 'premium product'. Though the price seems rather bonkers to spend on a mouse, even if it is rather pretty. As a mouse is relatively personal a thing when you start seeking your ideal gaming mouse so no matter what they put in it would be the wrong choice for somebody, and as the tracking was reportedly good that is really the big one on being a quality mouse, as the button weight and scroll feel are all about personal preference. Plus there really isn't much point in trying to make a nice solid and good looking all rounder mouse into something as sensitive and snappy as your gaming mouse - most folks want a gaming mouse that weighs nothing with heaps of extra buttons that would really spoil the looks. (though personally I've always actually preferred a heavier mouse - if its too light it just feels wrong, I want it to have some inertia and it doesn't want to stay on the desk properly when it is too light - or probably more accurately it is too light so I can't easily feel if it ever starts coming off the desk unintentionally)

    • I'm more concerned about the reliability of these things. I've had Gaming or Professional mice from Logitech which started developing a double click issue, sometimes after a couple of years, sometimes within six months. I've tried corsair and Razer as well but those have developed a double clicking issue as well. It might be because I live in a fairly dry place where a lot of static develops (e.g. just walking over a carpet and touching a metal doorknob is enough to immediately cause a small shock) but then device makers need to start taking this into account.

    • It's funny. I've gone from single button mice to at the most something like twenty buttons, and then down to seven buttons, three of which I actually use. I remember the first time I used a mouse with back and forward buttons, and I loved it. Then I used a browser that supported gestures and rocker action and I never used the two side buttons again for that. Now even when playing games I can't be bothered to use the side buttons. Something I actually miss though is the mouse wheel tilt. That was a thing back in early 2K, but fell out of fashion within five years, and now very few new mice support this. Some time before the mouse wheel became a thing I got hooked on a Logitech mouse with three buttons. I actually changed my grip to holding the mouse with three fingers on the buttons. It was hard to retrain for that, but is was great in games like Mech Warrior 2. So that was in 95 or 96. However with the mouse wheel I regressed to a grip with only two fingers on the buttons again. Sometimes I wish I hadn't done that as it would be quite useful in some games. and if the mouse wheel tilt was still a thing it could make things even better. Some games used to support that for leaning around cover and such.

    • ngl, the back button is far more annoying than useful, to me. I hit them by accident when cleaning than I do actually press them. Not to mention there's never a time in which I can't just press the back button on the page, rather than the mouse, meaning I never feel the need to use that button. SOMETIMES, a game will allow for mapping to those buttons, but even that feels frustratingly rare among the games I play, so I tend to forget they're there.

  • I agree with some of the other comments: while the stock electronics are abysmal on price-to-performance, this has the potential to be a tinkerer's _dream._ With its focus on easy repairability and the maker readily offering (even if marked-up) replacement components - neither of which you often see for a mouse - and that brass/leather shell that'll uniquely patina over time, I gotta give props to how Lunar Instruments honestly seems to take their "you'll never buy another mouse again" mantra seriously. If anything, this seems to be more of a fancy shell first and foremost, with just some basic electronics so that it works of the box and will be adequate enough for desktop use by a wealthy non-enthusiast who just likes the aesthetic - and yeah, those luxury materials do look genuinely high-quality, so it's not like they're just slapping their brand on some cheap white-label Chinese peripheral. But the real potential of this thing is gonna come from enthusiasts taking it apart and modding beastly components into it and then just continuing to upgrade it over the years as better technologies become available. It's not perfect - I don't know what you can do to improve that scroll wheel or add side buttons without damaging the nice brass and leather - but I expected to laugh at this like that Tommy Hilfiger gaming set or those Louis Vuitton earbuds, and yet... congrats, Lunar Instruments. I don't hate it. Interesting first attempt, would love to see the concept refined.

  • When I first saw this mouse, I was hoping that the little winglets next to the buttons could've had some ergonomic use. They almost look like you can rest your fingers on them with a more relaxed grip and that they're large enough for your thumb and ring finger to sit under them, for lifting via interference rather than lifting via pinching. I don't know what it is, but this feels like a modified Logitech mouse. The shapes of the plastics, how the top cover can just pop off like that, the dongle and cable, etc. Maybe it's heavily based on a Logi travel mouse, although I'm not sure if any Logi mice disassemble in such a way that the side grip comes off in a shell like this. It just feels like a recycled design, though I guess that'd be in-line with some of their views. This is good inspiration for upgrading a mouse via mods, though. I also looked through their site. There's a couple of translucent plastic and powder coated aluminum mice for $150. For $230 there's the two leather choices, brown and black, but on a polished aluminum base. Though I did come across something interesting, the Pro Grip, though there's next to no information on it, though it seems like the mouse can be expanded on via its USB port, again no details on how they're accomplishing this; I have a feeling it's an I2C device using the unused pins that oppose the 2.0 pins on the type C port, that way it still works as a singular device but becomes modular.

  • I've had one for half a year. Metal feels a lot better than plastic for long term use especially in the summer. The sensor will drift on mouse pads that have art on them but it's fine on solid colors. I definitely have a separate mouse for gaming. I do find that I am able to feel feedback from the scroll wheel now, but it took some getting used to.

And with flawless mouse sensors being in like a huge number of mice, even for a fairly small budget, there's no reason not to have a flawless sensor. And basically any budget gaming mouse is better than this one unfortunately. Also I change my dpi pretty often while playing so the dpi button being on the bottom wouldn't work out
