I like to imagine that the track ball engineers in consideration of the pizza arcade environment, factored a layer of grease film in the spec.

A few years of opening up Xbox pads made me forget how delicate these are. Paper thin flex PCB for analog on the majority of inputs, 1mm thick retention clips on the motor housings (you do not need to desolder but whew), membranes on the shoulder buttons, and the worst springs I’ve ever seen for L2/R2. 
I just wanted to lube the d-pad!

Two interesting developments in PC peripherals:
I’m very curious what the firmware/driver situation will be like for the hub, could be bad if dependent on software. I do a lot of autohotkey and QMK stuff to avoid chording, for example, but those are definitely not accessible in a technical sense
Accepting 3.5mm inputs is great, though, because anything can be used as a switch
The 3D printed attachments remind me of Junji Ito’s Razer keypad idiot posted in the previous thread
Logitech has a new vertical mouse that’s smaller and $70 ($30 cheaper than the MX Vertical; still 2-3 Anker equivalents)
Comes in colors, left-handed version, takes a single AA, self-shifting scroll wheel, 3 bluetooth or 2.4ghz profiles, and the sensor appears closer to the front for better control.
Very interested in this new emphasis on hand size which gaming mice people have been about for a while (e.g. Rocket Jump Ninja, r/mousereview) but I’ve never seen on non-gaming products let alone in packaging, marketing, etc.
Often the “pro” nicer models e.g. Logitech MX line are also just made for larger hands
I think peripherals should be more tailored and if big manufacturers can take cues from DIY where e.g. people make their own keyboard PCBs to the shape of their hands, great!

I don’t like that infographic because the idea of thinking of my hands as “large” is insane
though I guess that explains why I like MX mice for 15+ years
Huge hands club what’s up

same and this is bigger than i thought
Mine are just barely 7.5in, so M/L
I really don’t think my hands are “large” just slender and long
I use a Logitech G203

It is oversimplified because there’s also e.g. width and the ratio of palm to fingers to consider. RJN recommends that the width of the mouse’s grip is roughly the same as that of your middle three fingers. That doesn’t account for how you grip a mouse, the shape of the mouse, etc. especially a vertical one, but it’s interesting to see Logitech do this. I’d like the same mouse in different sizes to be common

I’m at 8.75 inches, mouse manufacturers still don’t care about people with actually large hands
