Wooting Mouse

[burnt token]

Would love to see a Wooting mouse in the future.
I believe there is a strong opportunity for a new mouse in the current market, so look into this matter when the time is right.

[lavish flicker]

a new mouse with what

the thing we are struggeling with is finding anything to improve on in the mouse game besides software

[burnt token]

Just love that you can update the firmware in the browser. Kinda tired of my bloated razer software and since I use Wooting keyboard it would be lovely having a Wooting mouse as well. About other improvements idk, but maybe Wooting team can figure something out 😎

[solid glen]

it would be good, but they would have to have their own feature that would beat the other mice

[meager magnet]

Imagine a rapid trigger mouse

[fervent sorrel]

i was just searching online for a wooting mouse lol
would be great to have a mouse with such great software. with the wooting background service you could even consider things like the keyboard FN changing the mouse buttons or some interaction between them. to me it would be less about the mouse itself (which could still be a sick 8kHz wooting mouse) and more about synergy, maybe a matching aesthetic...?

[forest crescent]

They should keep the spirit of their metal cases and build the heaviest tungsten mouse that ever existed

[quick compass]

several mice exist already with web interface to configure settings. from top of head: Lamzu, Keychron and others

[vernal dove]

better 8kHz implementation

[lavish flicker]

idk what you mean with that really

[vernal dove]

because right now 8kHz is not really used that much due to a few reasons

it slows down your pc and lowers your frame rate significantly

and when u turn on 8kHz on a razer mouse

the sensor is 8k, but the clicks are only 2k

when sensor is set to 4k

the clicks are also 4k

u could also work on a better lightweight mouse

with the form of the razer basilisk v3 and logitech g502

and amount of buttons

but lighter because they both clock in at above 100 grams

[prisma bobcat]

This is an issue on the pc side. Nothing wooting could or any other mouse brand could do.

[prisma bobcat]

Interaction between keyboard and mouse could only be done with software as far as i can think of. Which would negate the webapp benefit.

[prisma bobcat]

I don't believe keychron has it for their mouse.

Ninjutso and Finalmouse has webapp supported mouse too though.

[quick compass]

[prisma bobcat]

Count me corrected. I remember thinking I had to install an app with my m4 and m6 but maybe it's new or I just missed it.

[naive holly]

Hall effect mouse switches?

[sudden oxide]

Not enough of a distance between the click to have a meaningful impact and would likely destroy battery life

[naive holly]

but wired tho

but if you had it set at say 0.5mm there would be so much post travel

or even 0.1

[sudden oxide]

Pretty similar to how the op18k already works

[naive holly]

yeah but some people want some pre travel

hopefully if they do make a mouse and make hall effct switches then hopefully they can make a solution for post travel

[sudden oxide]

Focus is on keyboards at the moment unless they can find something that would set them apart from the rest of the market

[naive holly]

Yeah but when the 60he v2 comes out there’s not much more to do

other than like make more things like the uwu keyboard

[vernal dove]

if they DO make a mouse, then they should make 2, preferably 3 types of mice

1. a very productive mouse with lots of buttons, structured like the razer basilisk v3

2. a super lightweight mouse designed for gaming, structured like the razer viper v3 pro

3. a budget-friendly mouse, like the logitech m310, but wooting is a gaming company, so this isnt really needed

[vernal dove]

maybe also a hot-swappable mouse?

[vernal dove]

a mouse with different spring weights u can customize?

[prisma bobcat]

all of those exists already

[vernal dove]

damn it

[late ember]

I don't think Wooting should make a mouse for the time being at least.

1. As far as pure marketing and price go, Logitech and Razer will be direct competitors, both which are extremely good at marketing their products to the general masses, whereas Wooting is more of an enthusiast thing, however there isn't exactly rapid trigger or customized actuation points for mice for Wooting to stand out with and.. I imagine a Wooting mouse would cost around the €120 - 150 mark, much like Razer and Logitech.

2. Right now the Chinese and budget brands like ATK/VXE/VGN (owned by same company, different names I think), Mchose etc. Are actually matching or outdoing Logitech, Razr, Steelseries, Pulsar, Glorious etc. at a much lower price point. So once again, unless Wooting has a unique feature, they won't be standing out enough to be considered anything special.

[lavish flicker]

and here we already invested into breeding mice

[stiff marlin]

Custom shapes same sensor?

[late ember]

Which custom shape? All the ones that Zowie/Microsoft/Logitech came up with and 20 other companies changed 5% of and sold as their own? I think whatever you think may be popular/great, it has already been done

Now if Wooting was to take a custom mold of each buyer's hand and make a custom shell for every single person... That WOULD be unique, but it would also be stupidly expensive I believe as.. Changing production in factories isn't generally cheap + new mold every time or just about, in case you have a system that can detect identical molds and reuses a previous one.

But yeah, that'd be cool, however very expensive so I think it'd be too niche

[stiff marlin]

I meant more like in modular sense

[vernal dove]

this is just a joke but 16k hz polling?

[lavish flicker]

there is no 16khz polling

[vernal dove]

doesnt iqunix have 16k hz scanning for the ez80 or is that just marketing

[forest crescent]

Polling and Scanning rate are not the same thing, so showing a higher scanning rate doesn't invalidate Tonys point

[vernal dove]

o ye huh

mb

[sturdy star]

marketing

even its actual performance is kinda mid iirc

[lavish flicker]

also very important is that scanrate varies with the amount of keys pressed usually

its smth that is very important since most people press more than 1 key at a time

[vernal dove]

why is this post dead

[lavish flicker]

because we wont make a mouse unless we find smth that we can actually innovate on

the mouse game otherwise is just making the lightest mouse it seems

[fierce stream]

but you do have the option to save people from the grasp of logitech and razor :^)

[naive holly]

Or make something like i think the op1 8k

Where it activates when it leaves the top bit bot when it hits the bottom bit

Im not sure if that's the right mouse tho

[sudden oxide]

So do something that someone else has already done

[naive holly]

But do it their own way

By using hall effect sensors ig

Also for games like Minecraft this would be incredible

[humble creek]

i think a trackball mouse that doesnt look rediculous and could be changed from normal to ball mode depending on use would be amazing, maybe by the thumb? maybe not a ball, a track pad?
ive been wanting to use a trackball type thing since i have the beginning of carpel tunnel, but there isnt a single not terrible looking one on the market with side buttons and led's and a adjustable/infinite scrollwheel

there is ABSOLUTELY space there, it might end up being overengineered, but still

also, adding on a varient of logitech's auto charge while in use feature on top of all that?

[naive holly]

What do you mean by normal to ball mode

[humble creek]

it wouldnt really work if it was a ball, unless there was a modular plate

but basically, you could disable the trackball or whatever and use it as a regular mouse as well

take it off for instance

[vernal dove]

logitech isnt even that good anymore yet people still buy the g502

even i originally wanted to before i saw yt reviews of it

[fierce stream]

i love the superlight 2s shape and feel so much but logitech has a bunch of stupid software and qc issues that pop up

i just want that same mouse made by someone else who I can trust LOL

[vernal dove]

what abt razer software

[timid ravine]

You mean bloatware?

[vernal dove]

idk what razer software is like

i need some opinions

[timid ravine]

It’s better than a lot of the “box store” brands but still bad imo

[vernal dove]

alr

[tulip gazelle]

there was this one mouse i saw a while back that uses switches and keycaps for mouse 1 and 2

it makes for a much blockier design but i think it can still look cool if its given a good bit of love

this is the mouse in question (i believe, or at least one that looks very similar)

such a simple design but it has so much potential, especiall taking Hall Effect into consideration

[lament raptor]

What about a mouse where u can change the switches like a keyboard

[timid ravine]

You’re describing endgame gear mice

[lament raptor]

They have the same feature ?

[timid ravine]

You unscrew a few screws on the bottom and you can easily swap switches in a minute.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CSPKCWV1/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3OYPQGOH3T5TV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tMZkO_DWEZ1aIq6tsXx_n4aUxGXclZ_68MGrIwle1JKi_b5Q_C16NGg-J4Phz8OQ.LlMFb76S9y3_Z37295D4TbnZddv08VBKhEsiAabHkDY&dib_tag=se&keywords=op18k+switch&ni=1&ni_pt=SR&qid=1756396664&sprefix=op18k+switch%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-1#

Keyboard switches on a mouse wouldn’t be ideal for most situations because the amount of travel. But if you’re looking to customize the feel or responsiveness of a switch on the go, endgame gear has that in the bag.

[lament raptor]

How about adding more buttons with a modular kit? I mean, instead of having buttons 4 or 5, I could leave the mouse plain or have 5 side buttons.

[timid ravine]

Razer naga has something like that

Like 2, 6, and 12 keys.

[timid ravine]

https://a.co/d/dgoXs4y

It’s razer’s current flagship moba mouse.

[lament raptor]

Damn

[naive holly]

Just combine a bunch of niche features like that slap a wooting logo on it and call it a day

[vernal dove]

real

[lament raptor]

But don't go for cheap materials, wooting isn't about being cheap

[naive holly]

Yeah obvs

But also if it was sub 30g that would be sick

[glacial lynx]

Tbh, I'd prefer if Wooting stuck to keyboards. One thing I love about them is their strong focus on a specific market. If they add a new type of product to their lineup, they might overextend themselves, and the quality of their original product would suffer.

[naive holly]

Yeah :/

[vernal dove]

true

[visual goblet]

I think we use mice with very little use, buttons on a "low base" / ergonomic right side buttons would be very useful, and would make an experience in MMO games, and Fortnite much more versatile. I think buttons below the two main ones could also be an option, as well as the SwiftPoint z2. There is a great lack of innovation in mice, few have side buttons on the right, or any feature that stands out.

Resume: For games that use a lot of binds (Mmo,Fortnite,Hero Shooter) use of more keybinds are very welcome. Even more so if they are ergonomic and take advantage of 5 fingers instead of just 3.

[naive holly]

A hot swap scroll wheel that you could replace with a switch

[vernal dove]

a mouse with lekker switches would be interesting

[vernal dove]

wooting's software will already make their mouse a better one

[naive holly]

yeah there software is so much better than razers oh sorry razers bloatware

also linear mouse switches

they would be sick

This is neat. If wooting wanted to do a mouse, they could take some features from this. This mouse is expected to launch Q1 2026

operation break wooting office mouse

[warm panther]

Its impossible to make a h.e mouse when every button travel distance is already 0.01 distances. Sure might be nice to have a mouse utilizing its software but in reality you just want to collect their products like pokemon cards. Saved in a display case.

What i want the most from wooting is to make a wireless keyboard with a built in wireless charging coil just like angry miao products https://youtu.be/lfyxgdyyo2I?si=GK1FDLYox33A1ZHa

Or next product they can make

Since they’re making a volume knob switch what if they make a joystick switch tom emulate a controller joysticks for all wooting keyboards since they already have software for it

[timid ravine]

[warm panther]

Read the article it still a basic gaming mouse

Nothing different from all others gaming mouses beside being haptic

Airpods and logitech mx m4 already habe this feature and the feature is just dumb

[humble creek]

im basically forced into logitechs ecosystem because im so used to their lightspeed tech

no cable, never have to charge my mouse, its great but im not a fan of logitech as a company so

[naive holly]

I think a liner mouse switch would be really cool

[naive holly]

Also about travel being "0.01 distances" pre travel exists

Or even if it was that good, post travel exists

Even if wooting made a normal sounding he mouse and added a feature like rappy snappy ???

[vernal dove]
