so what do you prefer as wheel click?



Tact switches :

used by razer and logitech sometime they tend to be stiffer,,are extremely light for the mouse ,have a very low travel and tend to have a low life rating .

Regular Mouse switch:

used in most new gaming mouses,by glorious,finalmouse and xtrfy

they can make the wheel a bit noisy,they can be light or stiff,can have low or high life ratings,have longer travel,are a bit heavier for the mouse.





make your choice and have fun!

I prefer a real, separate middle mouse button with the same type of light clicky microswitch as the left and right mouse buttons.

If the scroll wheel can not be a speed-adaptive scroll wheel which deactivates detents when moving fast, pressing the wheel down should switch between detents on/off.

i prefer the regular microswitch cause they are cheap and easy to mod (and it is good they are cheap cause i may have "broken" a few by trying to silent mod them)
