Yeah, best avoid anything selling as DA on Ebay.  If it's too cheap then stay away from it, because it's bound to be a fake with very good Razer Graphics applied.

Although there are some mice that love to copy the essential shape of a DA and remain quite good in quality compared to any of Razer's Gear, hence the cheap no-name mice might be a better deal now that Razer has decided to rip everyone off with substandard equipment.

I just used the touchpad on a new Macbook PRO the other day. Worst thing ever. I had to press on the thing ridiculously hard just to register a click. When will APPLE find somebody with an IQ greater than 3 to design their pointing devices?

That actually doesn't sound all that ridiculous (well, it does, but)—they've already acquired Beats, a brand with even worse reputation than Razer.

Or why not Microsoft? Oh wait, the people at Microsoft are too smart to work at a joke of a company like CRAPPLE. I reckon the folks at Razer are as well.

The worst, most un-ergonomic mouse that I ever used was the Nidd Valley Digimouse that I had on my BBC Micro in the 1980's.

The Gigabyte Aivia Krypton was pretty underwhelming. Classic example of all the bells and whistles aimed at '1337 gamerz,' and then no basic performance..

How the F are you supposed to use it? With the cord facing towards you? With fingers? With your hand even?

I can't remember as it is so long ago but I think you just had to have the cable running out towards you. Remember that this was the the BBC Micro which was a computer with a built in keyboard so the mouse cable did not have to run to a box on the floor. In fact, I think the cable plugged into the user port on the bottom of the machine!

It's certainly a far better design to run the cable out of the other end. I guess this was produced before a standard mouse design was reached. A little bit of history :)

That mouse is still better than a single button APPLE mouse. Especially those hockey puck ones with their round shape that get turned the wrong way too easily.

What would you say is the worst/least ergonomic computer monse you have used? I'd pin the crown on the Apple "hockey puck" mouse and its successors:
Show Image


I had a couple of those Apple mouses with the clear case (in white and black).  The white came with an old iMac G3, and the other, I salvaged from someone throwing it away.  I hated that there was no right click.  I sold them, as somehow, there are people out there who like them.

Yes I remembered that, needing the keyboard to press the Ctrl-click action when enabling certain features within OS 7.

Very inefficient with time and hands usage.  The twin click mice of today are far more suitable for every type of operating system  :thumb: .

A DHL truck stopped by and dropped off a small package consisting of my new RMA'ed Razer 2013 mouse.

I thought about just smashing it under the wheels of my Landcruiser as I reverse down the driveway BUT I figured it would be rude to not test it out on a spare PC in my house.

So I opened the package and sure enough the latest DA 2013 was connected up and of course waiting for Synapse 2.0 to download into my system STILL pisses me off like anything (old Razer-rage).

This time as I waited for their junk bloatware to download I noticed how nice the coating was on this particular mouse compared to the cheapo-lousy one on my previous model.  Felt almost Mionix-Like as it felt really nice :o .  Of course I need to use the mouse for a few days to really see if anything has changed quality wise with this latest rma model.

I won't put this in the "Good Mouse" section because of the extreme hatred I still have for Razer Corp for selling me useless junk over the years but this latest thing might change my mind, but I doubt it.  You Geekhackers know the amount of hatred enlisted against this company for making crappy products over the years  8) .

Well, that design sucked because a standard right click is more efficient than the Ctrl-click.  I use right click quite a bit.

But the thing is that Mac OS did not need a right-click!

That is a recent addition - and I find that I do right-click a bit on Mac OS X.  Not nearly as much as on Windows though.

The middle one (Mighty Mouse) is IMHO the last decent mouse Apple made - I was happily using one until I recently had a catastrophic accident.  I quite like the omnidirectional scroll ball, which I haven't seen on any other mouse.  What's garbage is their newer touch-surface Magic Mouse.  Entirely too flat to be reasonably held, and I don't like wireless besides.

CM Storm Devastator.

**** internals, awful sensor (IR version of the Pixart PAN 3308 with the most angle-snapping I've ever seen on a mouse) and loads of people buying it due to the backlight keyboard and how "cool" it looks.





It's an OEM project that's being sold by Cooler Master for users who can't buy proper equipment and need cheap "cool looking" pieces of chinese crap.

Picked up and re-used my DA2013 and it's back to squealing again, when used.  It's atrocious, cheap ABS plastic housing is so thin and badly engineered that when I use their mouse it starts emitting that familiar side squeaks like a choking rodent ready to snuff it.

Plus my hatred of Synapse 2.0 which has now decided to hose one of my Windows 8 installations, ahh Razer, you can always be counted upon to really fvck up a person's experience in using a PC even during 2014.

Maybe that's why I went back to using plain old Zowies, they never, ever caused any trouble or strife (maybe lucky here) to me.

I've used hundreds of input devices over the year.  None has even come close to excelling at utter failure as much as this wonderful Microsoft creation:

The three mice in the OP still feel way better than this version.

It's just really horrible all around.

I actually like the Magic Mouse for how it performs. But the ergonomics of the mouse is pretty horrific.

Sure, it looks flashy and the touch thing is "neat", but prolonged use will leave you with a very sore hand. Forget about playing any kind of game with it (obviously not it's intended purpose). And it's not even all that responsive I'm my experience.

Oh yeah I agree. But it's my only mouse so I have to use it. I'm actually looking into mice right now since I have a Magic Trackpad I could use in tandem with the mouse instead of having the magic mouse by itself.

I also have the magic track pad. I really wish it had the buttons on the top instead of the rubber feet being the buttons. It would have been perfect for sitting on the couch and controlling my computer streamed to my tv. But it needs a sturdy surface for the buttons to work.

All of you are putting your ire for mediocre mouse through the juicer to try and squeeze out some genuine contempt, but I'm not convinced any of your mice are worthy of the title Worst Mouse Ever. caseyandgina is onto something with that yoga ball in a dog bowl, that's some hilariously bad stuff... (damn... it's so strange that I think I want one though...) But no, I submit before the jury this awful piece of plastic:

The MonsterGecko Pistol Mouse. Gah.

This thing was awful. It strained my forearm in a weird way, it's impossible to be accurate with, it confuses the fingers, the 800dpi sensor is crap on wheels, and it died after a couple months (how I went that long with it I have no idea).

Well, the R.A.T. is by far the ugliest mouse ever. I hear it's a good mouse though, so....

I have a RAT 5, and it's pretty good, the side buttons are a bit weird though.

http://www.dexigner.com/news/image/21785/Microsoft_Express_Mouse_02

These ones are terrible as well. Why did anyone think it was a good idea to put the cable in that position? You aren't going to change the way the world makes it's mice...

Oh, and a guy at work uses one of these. It's seriously weird.

My previous job also had a bunch of those mouses. Sometimes I had to use it on the users computers. It was especially horrible since my hand didn't fit at all.

Anything made by Microsoft.
I lol'ed... As much as I dislike microsoft for certain things, I indeed do give them a lot credit for one of the most legendary mice ever made. The IE3!

Apple: Every single mouse is terrible! It's ridiculous how forgiving apple fanboys are when it comes down to a good mouse shape... "Design is everything"
Razer: Bad quality, they force you to use synapse 2.0...
Logitech: They made terrible irreversible design decisions, vertical scrollwheel, shape, button overload, finish and painting... I'd describe the new G-line as "Taste and useless vomit" (It hurts my heart to see where they ended up, I loved the MX518 to death).

I'd put almost every mouse here which has a sensor with any kind of acceleration or path prediction etz... Wich has more than 5 mouse buttons (shapes which are made for left and right hand users are an exception), over 2000 dpi (even 2000 is ridiculously high)!

And imho every mouse with this crap should be burned imediately:

That's a wonderful mouse, the Humvee of mice, a genuine folly. I take cruel enjoyment in the fact that, in addition to being in monstrously bad taste, it was also ergonomically horrible. Hands down my favorite post of the thread.

I don't remember what the company was called, but my friend purchased a "gaming mouse" from ebay. It's one of those really fancy looking ones that's shaped like a spaceship, has more leds than a christmas tree and it's made by some really shady company.
I didn't care much for the shape or anything, but my only gripe was the sensor kept malfunctioning from even the simplest swipes and it had acceleration like crazy. I wanted to tell him how much of a piece of **** it was, but he paid $20 for it and looked really happy with it so I decided not to.

I finished the review on the CM Storm Devastator. Just a few specs and pictures:

Sensor: Low power infrared version of the Pixart PAN 3309DH low-end sensor, with lots of bleeding from the mouse's Blue LED (reason why some people think it uses Blue LED for the sensor instead of Red, while it's actually Infrared)
Angle-snapping: Yes, activated by default, cannot be turned off.




Refresh Rate: 125 Hz, cannot be changed by default.
Main Switches: Kaiche White switches, certified for 1M clicks. But they rarely go past 4 months of usage and they're the main reason for the RMA cases on this mouse.
Side and DPI Switches: Cheap standard square switches. Both feedback and durability are bad.
Middle Button Switch: Tactile Square Switch. Manufacturer unknown, but the durability is most likely not good.
Scroll Encoder: Scroll encoder made by an unknown (and thus most likely generic) brand called "M-LO". Steps are not well defined and the scrolling isn't really smooth either, it's almost like an optical scroll encoder.




Thus, the final score I gave to the mouse on my review, was a 2/10, the lowest score I ever gave to a peripheral up to date. I only did not give it a lower score because the external build was acceptable and it really would actually make less people believe on the review. There were already plenty of people (who do not have any knowledge about mice) who own that mouse calling me "ignorant" for giving it that score anyways...
