Realforce mouse

Yea, the use of mechanical encoder is Kind of Lazy.
Logitech had the best optical encoder implementation, but they also went cost-cutting.
Overall, we knew it was gonna be gimmicky, buh... I felt like they didn't have enough Heart on this one..

$200 is steep with all the competition in the market, especially at an 83g Ergo Mouse. I would love to try one out and compare it to my current line up as it's dimensions hit the size that I prefer to use.

switches are pretty ghetto imo, basically a nipple on the underside of a dome that presses into some sort of contact plate that presses against the pcb to activate the click. also appears to use the cooler master mount setup for the mousewheel (which you have to take apart and clean every 6-12 months and it's super fragile), so looking like a hard pass from me. i hate that if it doesn't sell well, they'll probably not make a second/improved iteration, but they pretty much doa'd it themselves by slapping two rubber domes in a cm storm alcor and pumping the price up by $130+.
if you're someone that's buying it regardless, i'd recommend waiting until amazon.co.jp has direct shipment offerings since you can usually get the cashless purchase discount (5-10%), and then global express shipping on something like this would be under 10 bucks.

How are they ghetto? A single dome provides tactility and the metal plate with relief cuts lowers towards the pcb for a change in capacity. It's a cool way to produce the desired effect with such a short travel distance. They could build a low profile Topre keyboard with these :D
Compared to my Zowie FK1 it feels really well built and the more silent click is unusual but kind of cool. So far great for office and gaming use. I managed to press my mouse button without intending to, which is probably down to the way I used to rest my hand on the Zowie. I feel like I need to use it a lot more to reach some conclusion. The glide feet are on the small side, I guess.
Also didn't even bother to install the software yet, dpi button on the top, usb rate selector on the bottom, logo light off on mine.
The sides are rubberized, which is a bit of a red flag in terms of longevity, usually. Can't tell what plastic the shell is made of.
Is it worth the price and proxy shipping? ....eeeh, difficult sell. I'll probably still recommend a Zowie if someone asked me for a mouse. Then again everything Topre is rather on the expensive side and offers its very own feeling you don't quite get anywhere else.
