For over a decade I have been using the soon-discontinued Contour mouse. I have tried both the wired and the wireless versions, but the wireless version has too much latency for me, although I am particularly sensitive to latency, so YMMV.
I have been using the exact same unit since I got it, it has been very reliable for me, however I know for a fact that the newer versions of the mouse, even though they superficially appear to be the same are not as reliable. They changed the plastic used in some internal shaft and that seems to break quite often. Many of my friends have broken Contour mice that fail in the exact same way. That internal shaft breaks. One friend managed to get hold of a bag of spare shafts. I suspect they could be easily 3D printed, or replaced with a metal shaft. In any case, since Contour announced they discontinued the model, I ordered about 30 mice from retailers that lied about having stock stock. I got three. With these three, I have in total about ten spares, which I hope will last me for a while. -- Aram Hăvărneanu ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T49f3cceea70d2b61-M390895ff6f8a7015c13ee272 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
