Lol, lmao even.
Posted from my cheap wired msi mouse.
Should've come with heat shrink tubing in the box if it was going to be necessary THAT quickly
Try liquid tape or marine heatshrink.
I'm too careful not to overbend cables, to the point where the port's lifecycle is exceeded before anything happens to cable, e.g. usb port loose as frick but cable is fine.
not the board's fault you can't take care of your stuff properly
but yeah, wireless mouse are a valid option, if you really want to use them just do
Am I too careful with my shit or what? Nothing ever breaks for me. Shit just works perpetually. I've NEVER seen something like that happen to a mouse. I can only imagine that you had some razor blades close to the cable for that to happen.
I'm literally just using it, on a clean table. High DPI too so I barely move it, yet the fricking cable seath is melting on my hands if I touch it
Not shown is the warping on the USB plug end that makes it disconncect at most angles, and I can't even patch that
No, it's not a bootleg
Blame the company, not the wire. Or get something real like rog gladius mk2.
>the fricking cable seath is melting on my hands if I touch it
I've only had this happen with plastic/rubber that is 10+ years old or got left out in the sun, never had an electronics cable fall part like that. The chinese mouse makers cheaped out on the cable, even if the mouse itself is decent the whole thing is fricked. Maybe it's a particularly nasty example of planned obsolescence
Stop buying chinkshit or tint your windows
I've had the buttons on mice go out, but not the cords. I've never seen a mouse cord get damaged even slightly.
I probably don't need or want to know what the frick someone was doing with that thing in OP to get it like that. The kindest thing I can think of is maybe his rabbit chewed on it or something.
I fricking hope it's as innocent as that.
The sharp side of a table can wear out a mouse cable pretty quickly when moving it around, especially noticeavle on braided ones.
Social media is full of people inventing ridiculous clearly self-caused problems so other people react and engage with their content. I've had the same headphones, chair, and desk for 16 years. I recently traded some board games in to CEX here in the UK, they're really strict about every single piece being there and the games had hundreds of cards and pieces and shit, and they all got accepted because everything was there. My Switch's box is in the drawer under my bed along with the boxes for the games.
The only thing that's ever broken on me was a Razor mouse but I've since learned that those things are basically designed to stop working 12 months after you buy them.
>rubber cable
Get a quality mouse with a braided cable.
u mean, DETACHABLE braided cable?
get it right, plebian.
this tbh, in this day you need detachable cables on everything. Doesn't matter what it is, DAC, mouse, etc.
>*scratch scratch scratch*
it's a mouse, not a cat
learn to solder
wireless is better anyhow. only tards use wired mice in 2024.
>wireless
>clicks are starting to delay or the cursor is starting to skip through the screen because battery is depleting
>it may interfere with other wireless devices if brought in public
>clicks are starting to delay or the cursor is starting to skip through the screen because battery is depleting
just charge it?
Just wrap some electrical tape around it.
my g400 is 15 years old
G400s here. I've had it almost a decade. Looks like they're still available, too. I almost want to buy another one just in case this one dies, id have a spare.
new one will be dogshit I guarantee it. they don't make things to last anymore.
if this isn't bait
>on IQfy
>cant solder
>cant open his mouse and replace the cable (most of the time not even soldered)
based zoomer moron
idk man i think you might be using it wrong
how the frick do you break the wire in a year KEK
what the frick did you even do with it?
that never happened to me. usually the mouse wheel or left button starts giving out after some 5-8 years, but the cable has never been an issue
buy a cheap wire from chinkexpress, open the mouse, unplug old wire, plug in new wire
it's that easy
my g600 has like 10 years. still works with no issues.
Yep sucks, shit quality cables plague everything now. In fact almost all Chinese stuff is a crapshoot (surprise surprise). I bought into the flashlight meme and the electronics are buggy garbage. Everything's throwaway garbage.
> I bought into the flashlight meme and the electronics are buggy garbage.
Should have gotten a weltool

>double clicks in a month
>wireless mouse
>double clicks in a month
same shit
stop clicking like a caveman
this is what happens if you autisticly sperg about mouse bungees and call them onions for no reason. My mouse wire still looks good even after almost 10 years of use
God I hate wires so much is fricking unreal, the amount of money I have saved since I started using Bluetooth headphones and mouse is amazing
Even though bluetooth is utter SHIT, it's a small price to pay to not have wires all over your desk. I never cared about this until I actually tried it, it's kino and makes my daily desk wipedown way simpler.
my desk is full of wires i don't give a frick.
learn how to manage your damn wires and cables
How do you "cable management" your mouse and keyboard wires off the desk? They have to be there, that's how they work. With wireless you can just move them instantly without any tethered homosexualry.
>With wireless you can just move them instantly
you can also die in-game because battery runs out
bingbong wahoo problems. get a job
>muh unrestricted mouse movements.. for excel sheet management
Yeah. I like to keep my mouse below my keyboard, in between my hands.
Either you bought a cheap piece of crap, or you did something moronic to destroy it. I've been using my current mouse daily for 5+ years and it'll probably survive another 5
wtf have you been doing with that cord, flossing your teeth you bottomfeeder?
I found a dirty left handed mouse on the street. After the cheap wired mouse my computed had began to fail (it didnt register clicks and movements properly) i just cleaned and plugged in the lefty and it has worked just fine for the last two years. Only bad thing is that some programs dont register that the mouse buttons are swapped and interprets rmb as lmb
Have you tried not being moronic? I've had mice for years and never had a frayed cable.
I've had a Mad cats Rat3 for like 12 years or something. Sometimes you just have to buy the nice, quality thing and not be a cheap piece of shit
Logitech mice use wires that plug into the PCB instead of soldered shit, just get what ever kind of cable upgrade you want, lots of people replace the cable with paracord. You also get to upgrade your mouse feet to something with a smoother glide while you're at it.
the problem is you bought Logitech.
Good wireless mouse recommendations? I like extra buttons but my current one only has two side ones
do not chew on your cables
what fricking chink clone is that? 502 has braided cable.
OP it's not your fault
They changed the G502 from a braided cable to a cheap chink piece of shit that decays immediately, I know because it happened to me as well
IQfy shills the G502 still because they haven't heard of this
>buy one with a braided cable
>it still werks
Of course, how should I know if I don't need a new one?
>"buy a wired mouse bro, they last forever!"
>my shithead cat eats and destroys them
good thing she is so adorable
she's too cute anon
Why would you buy a wired mouse? Are you moronic? Only moronic people are buying wired mice still.
What the frick are you doing that could possibly cause this? Do you chew on it?
>cable decomposing, fraying and randomly disconnecting less than 1 year in
my original MX518 from 2005 works just fine
>buy Logitech
>wonder why it fails
We told you so.
What the frick is wrong with you?
My wired mouse is 8 years old and still works like and looks like the day I bought it.
If your electronic devices fall apart one year after you bought them, it sounds like a 120% you-problem.
Except you're a subhuman Black person, then destroying stuff is 120% genetic.
Wireless mice w/ a receiver are just as good as a wired mouse. My big issue is I hate the friction the wire causes. Mouse bungee cables are gay to have on a desk
Mine is working just fine after 6+ years (A4 Bloody Tech), next time don't buy garbage
>next time don't buy garbage
but you told me the G502 are good...
It is good, I still have my original g502
braided cable gathers lint but is indestructible 🙂
There is no such thing as accurate, low-latency wireless communication. On a physical level it pretty much can't exist even over small distances. There are only adjusted expectations.
moron take.
What's the difference between the signals in your cable and the signals in the air?
The cable NEVER drops packets
>On a physical level it pretty much can't exist even over small distances.
It sure can. It would probably be just illegal due to signal strength and lack of band-sharing or whatever.
With enough power you could even blast the digital signal straight through a sparkgap and receive it anywhere nearby without any further decoding circuits.
Convince me to give a frick about this little of a difference.
"accurate" is a judgment call in the first place, so there's no sense arguing this either way
Just buy a $5 soldering iron you fricking mong.
You will never avoid entropy, so you'd better learn to deal with it like an adult.
Can anyone here give some info on getting a micro switch that is hot-swappable like the patented ASUS ROG switches? Just so I don't have to keep soldering new switches every 6-12 months.
Had my g502 for almost 10 years now OP, probably get rid of your rats and mice
Dude, your wheel and LMB will stop working long before wire.
My 6 year old G502 only had one pad slightly peel and part of the cable have its cover rip open and twirl up into a loop but other than that is fine. I suspect the intense summer heat might have something to do with this.
How did that happen, do you have razor blades on the edge of your table or something?
>have 10y old mouse that I still use daily
>cable is perfect
Have you tried not buying crap?
weird
i only ever had cable problems with my phone, and (hopefully) solved em:
>repaired and reinforced original charging cable (with fabric tape, string, glue and heat shrink so it's fricking SOLID)
>bought chink IEMs with a replaceable cable
been using my expensive bulky mouse for 11 years, received on a birthday as a gift from my uncle. no issues whatsoever. i think there's something wrong with your environment anon, mouses aren't the type of electronic to give out so early.
this is what you deserve for not using a G502
You either bought cheap garbage or you're doing something REALLY wrong.
I have used 2 sub $10 amazon mouses since 2014. The first one's left click finally died after many years of use so I just bought another one. For me, they're perfect. I once owned a $60 razer mouse only to find it to be uncomfortable and it broke in less than a year. A better one might exist but I've never consciously thought "man this task would be easier if I had a better mouse." Also frick wireless mouses, the cord is a non issue unless you absolutely can't plug in. People think wireless equals high technology when it almost always performs worse than wired and costs more.
This is a problem for anything wired that moves around a lot. Headphones, clothes irons, vacuums, whatever. They all die prematurely and even short out and start a fire sometimes.
Braided is better but mostly because it's lighter and drags less, the conductors will rupture all the same.
If you MUST get a wired device, get one with a plug-in cable. But really, wireless is so cheap and performs so well there's not much reason to avoid it anymore.
never in my life of using 50+ computers have I seen this issue.
Perchance your cat, or roommate, is chewing on it?
>I have neither
do you sometimes have a dream about you being a feline?
normies don't know how to handle things with care, their consoles are always broken, controller sticks drifting, screen protectors on everything, thick case on their smartphone, frayed cables, etc. It takes no strain to be careful with your elevtronics but somehow normies wear out their products in just a few months or years so that they can have a reason to buy next product.
you can't escape material fatigue. maybe OP is careless and he caused chemical or photodegradation, but wires will break. it's inevitable.
The buttons on my mouse die before anything else does. It always seems to be after I go hard on Minecraft too.
