"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"I couldn't go back to the G502 now I use all 12 buttons!"
"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"The 18 side buttons are amazing for hotkeys."
"You get 12 additional buttons to the side. ... You can macro them with the Logitech tool or key mind. ... You can now play basically every game on your mouse"

"Yeah the battery life on Apple Watch is pathetic. ... Like I have the 4G Apple watch which I wear when I am out of town just in case my iphone dies or gets broken and I am in an emergency. That happened to me a few months back. I had my watch and only my watch. I had 4G turned on for emergency services and GPS turned on so I can find my way home. Convienent and life saving right? Except the stupid thing died after an hour and after that I was stuck with no communication abilities at all in the middle of the night wandering the streets. What good is having all of those capabilities if they are just going to die on you after 10 minutes? ... other than as an emergency backup for my phone (which I have now proven is a joke in a real life emergency)"
"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"the battery now wears out very quickly - after about 1 hour of usage."

"the fit was terrible for me ... so I returned them"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"But, notably heavier. ... And man, these being heavy, really makes it hard to keep in the ears. ... I'm finding these are heavy and have a hard time staying in the ear ... I noticed that too. These are the first iem that give me problem with staying in my ears. ... Yea, it's big enough of an issue, that I might resell these. It's frustrating to use them lol ... I never found a set that made them stay perfectly, except for liquid silicone tips, but didn't like the way they sounded ... These are heavy though. Easily double to 2.5x, maybe even 3x the weight of my s12 2024's. TBD on how I feel on that lol."

"I use a g502 with all weights attached 💀💀 ... I switch between a g502 and a g pro super light and the difference is like running and waddling through water"
"Thing is a brick ... After using light weight mice it's hard to go back to that weight."
"the weight is way too much even for work."

"The G502 and Basilisk thumb area is a bit cramped. ... I don't have thick fingers, but long ones and my thumbs are a bit wider at the tips than on most people."

"now a year and a half in, the rubber where your thumb lays on the left side has worn through to the plastic."
deathadder v2 is nice I use that one currently. I'm interested in the basilisk wired, I hate wireless for gaming. Too much lag. I had a mamba chroma b4 it was good but had to fix the wheel twice. Deathadder hasn't let me down yet and I like that I can reprogram the DPI keys
r/razer • Which mice you guys recommend for people with very largue hands? ->Mine broke after about a year of using it. Admittedly I am rough with my mice. But it would do things like randomly make me look down/up, not register inputs, and not allow me to look around while holding m4/m5
r/OverwatchUniversity • My friend is trying to get me into Overwatch, but I'm not sure if her advice is actually that good. Can anyone offer me some guidance as a beginner? ->Are you sure your hands are average size? 😂 V1 and V3, never had a problem
r/razer • Razer Basilisk V3 where are my ring and pinky finger suppose to be? ->this goes for 99% of video games you cant go wrong with a g502 (or if you prefer razer, one of deathadder viper or basilisk will suit you)
r/WorldOfWarships • Anybody use a gaming mouse??? ->It affects battery life too much since most people are turning towards wireless. There are still some mice like G502 X Plus with lines on its back or one of the Razer Basilisk even has it on the sides so it shines on the mousepad.
r/MouseReview • Is rgb in mouse dead? ->Generally mice that are more open. The G502 and Basilisk thumb area is a bit cramped. I don't have thick fingers, but long ones and my thumbs are a bit wider at the tips than on most people. The EC1 shape is good for working because it's super relaxed. But I aim better with the FK1 XL shape, Viper and similar works great too - less comfortable though.
r/MouseReview • Why Logitech G502 is the best mouse ever made ->As other people mentioned: Logitech superlight Razer viper v3 pro Razer deathadder v3 pro (fakers mouse) And i think the g 605 and razer basilisk also have a few users
r/leagueoflegends • most popular mouse used by pros in 2025 ->Windows can only recognize two side buttons natively and they're always called Mouse4 and Mouse5. Other buttons have to be assigned to a keyboard button, otherwise they won't be recognized. Look for MMO-mice if you want really many buttons. Otherwise Logitech G502, Razer Basilisk and Glorious Model i2 are options to consider.
r/MouseReview • Anybody know any mouses with Non-Programmable and Programmable side buttons with a good amount of them? ->Razer Basilisk, Glorious i2 are probably your best bets. I would go for a Basilisk. By the way, it is *mouse*, *mice* is only if you talk about more than one mouse (some people also use mouses when it comes to the computer peripheral, but to me that sounds just idiotic)
r/MouseReview • My 3 y/o gaming mice just broke, I need a new mouse ASAP! Any recommendations? ->I had a Razer Basilisk and it ate my batteries like crazy (Maybe it was faulty but i didn't wanna bother with it anymore). I would like to have a good mouse that charges with USB C and isn't too bad in terms of input latency and tracking. Are there any options that are worth the money? I hope its okay to ask these questions here because i have no damn idea about the mouse space lol :D
r/MouseReview • Any good wireless gaming mice that charge with USB C? ->I like my basilisk but I hate razor software and there’s no hardware default for the rgb so I’m stuck with the awful rainbow effect
