Re: [9fans] mice

[David Arroyo]

I use a 3DConnexion CADMouse pro wireless: https://3dconnexion.com/uk/cadmouse/ 
and I really like it. It fits my hand well and works in wired, bluetooth , or 
with a wireless usb transmitter. It's got a huge middle mouse button which was 
the main draw for me.

The downsides are that it seems to have a unique bluetooth firmware that 
crashes bluetoothd on Linux . I haven't been able to figure it out. It also has 
this fake "inertial" scrolling which I hated at first but now I quite like it.

I have the same mouse, wired version. I've used a couple different 
3-button mice and this is my favourite.


It's a 灵智银狐 (Lingzhi Silver Fox) brand MODEL M-S3C. Here is the 
official website:


http://www.hao1885.com/products.asp

They have some other models with the wheel on top or without any wheel.

I bought mine on eBay but the listing is gone. There are some other 
sites selling it if you search around.


Mine stops working once in a while but it's fixed by unplugging it and 
plugging it back in. This behaviour is OS-independent.

I personally use the Evoluent vertical mouse. It's
comfortable, and has a scroll wheel and a *separate*
middle button.

I quite like it -- my only complaint is that the corded
version lacks a bit of heft, so when moving my hand off
it the cursor drifts a bit. I suppose that could be fixed
by opening it up and adding a bit of weight to the base,
but I use the cordless version just because of the weight
of the batteries.

Re: [9fans] mice

i tried a countour mouse but didn't get on with it. i bought a cheap Chinese 
copy - 3 real buttons on top and a wheel on the side.

i cannot find the exact link, this is the same mouse but i have the wired 
version - never needs recharged.

i really like it, it fits my had well and i can use sam, and scroll windows 
(with the 9front changes).

Re: [9fans] mice

[Jeremy Jackins]

On a similar note, I picked up a Contour Unimouse (5 buttons) but it's
not working correctly in Plan 9. I'm not sure if it's related to the
wireless USB receiver or the extra buttons. When I move the mouse left
and right, the cursor moves up and down, and moving the mouse up and
down has no effect on the cursor. Pressing buttons moves the cursor to
the right. Does anyone have experience fixing an issue like this?

[9fans] mice

[Steve Simon]

We where discussing mice for plan9.

I have just about given up on the apple magic mouse, its a shame,
having the nice swipe features is cool but its just too unreliable at
detecting middle button clicks to be usable with sam.
This maybe due to the MagicPerfs software I used.

I have however found a cheap alternative:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Optical-3-Button-Mouse-With-Side-Scroll-Wheel-USB-3-Button-Mouse-send-mouse-pad/302784849165

This is basicially a rip off of the contour mouse. Thehey work fine with plan9,
my only complaint is they are a little small for my hand - I will probably buy 
a contour
mouse one of these days.
