You know how we're still in a recession?
« on: Tue, 23 October 2012, 20:04:26 »
Popped open my Logitech G400 mouse today to remove the middle click spring.

GUESS what I found...

They only use 2 Omron switches now, for left and right click

The rest are "Himake" a taiwanese off-brand.  >:D >:D >:D >:D

The Himake switch is on the forward/back/middleclick.

I'm "GUESSING" the 3 other toggle buttons are also not OMRON any longer....


Sigh..... Damn you Obama, you've even screwed up my mouse.

Do the switches work? If do, I wouldn't complain unless you're going to replace them with Omron switches. ;)

Well, I'm just saying, we might have to call it the G400 Obama Edition, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The Omron switches have a very "Crisp" click

While the "Himake" switches have much more "Dull" click.

Sigh....... Sad panda...

You can be assured that the quality of your mouse will be improved if Romney is elected.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

I haven't opened it up, but from the feel of it, I must also have the G400 Obama Edition.

Yup.. OBAMA Edition... sigh.....


Luckily, I've just put in the Romney Stimulus Upgrade to Full Omron ;D

The only switch you need to solder is the middle click switch.. The forward and back, you can swap with an older logitech mouse MX510/518, the TOP switch daughter board are all pin compatible..

Well, I'm just pointing out that the economy is pinched tighter than ever under Obama, and dubbed the cost cutting choices Logitech made in the G400, Obama Edition..

You see this in a lot of products actually. Huge difference between Pre and Post recession...

I grew up in a world (1950s-60s-70s) where the concept of rational people was coming together somewhere near the center.

This new world (post-Khomeini/Reagan/Brezhnev/Thatcher I would call it) seems to be about flying off in all directions.

The center is one thing and the fringes are something else. There are a lot of fringes but only one center. Seek it.

the 50s-70s, like today, were rife with racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, pointless warmongering, epic pollution, corporate greed and disenfranchisement of the poor and non-cisgendered-white-men.

nice rosy glasses though.

Sith, you must have missed the "rational people" part.

There are always the rational ones and the irrational ones. The irrational ones always outnumber the rational ones, but the rational ones are sometimes seen to occupy the "higher ground" morally and/or intellectually.

That is what seems to have evaporated in recent decades.

Popped open my Logitech G400 mouse today to remove the middle click spring.

GUESS what I found...

They only use 2 Omron switches now, for left and right click

The rest are "Himake" a taiwanese off-brand.  >:D >:D >:D >:D

The Himake switch is on the forward/back/middleclick.

I'm "GUESSING" the 3 other toggle buttons are also not OMRON any longer....


Sigh..... Damn you Obama, you've even screwed up my mouse.


Ya dam poor logitech...corporate profits hitting highs not seen since the 20s under his opressive socialist muslim rule. If only he understood corporations are people.

Please explain how Obama has a thing to do with this?

Well, I'm just pointing out that the economy is pinched tighter than ever under Obama, and dubbed the cost cutting choices Logitech made in the G400, Obama Edition..
