Cosmic Byte Orcus RGB Honeycomb Gaming Mouse

Cosmic Byte Orcus RGB Honeycomb Gaming Mouse

Got this today. At least the left button is working. LED light again was a huge distraction but unlike Flipkart, CosmicByte has a software application for programming buttons and LED. Got it disabled. So that's nice.

Only one issue so far, the pads at the bottom are too small compared to other mouse I have owned. Moving this mouse around feels rough on my mousepad. Not sure if this is because of poor quality pads at the bottom of the mouse or it is designed to be used on hard surfaces.

Left click is still working! Washed the mousepad in washing machine lol. Seems to have cleaned it up nicely. (I have the bigger one that covers most part of the table.

Right. So poor padding is the problem here. I clean it up every couple of hours and it goes smooth. Should have had larger sized pads.

Massive mouse pads are being manufactured these days

If you don't mind can I know why you went with this model and product?

had no reviews so didn't find any negative reviews lol.

the scroll wheel on the flipkart mouse was fantastic though. probably the best i have ever used. wide, smooth and felt very good. this one has a pretty mediocre scroller.

heh. even bought a new mousepad today. even on this, the mouse is not moving around freely. thought about getting a replacement. logged in at 12:05am on Amazon only to find out that replacement window ended at midnight lol.

What was the replacement window? Couple of hours? Wtf.

the mouse. i got the mouse few days ago lol. i am not trying to replace the mousepad. though i should try to return it lol.

these days it just feels like that i am getting old and forgetting how to use a mouse. i mean why else would a simple computer accessory like a mouse would be so hard to use.

so i liked this mouse enough to order another unit. and the new unit comes with a different sensor so requires a different application to manage the light and button settings. thankfully the product website has links to both software versions. also annoying is that the new app does not accept the settings file from the old app so i had to reconfigure everything manually.

mouse seems to work pretty much the same. but not happy with the padding lol. but looking at my posts above, it seems like it is an issue in early days. because the older unit i have is smooth as butter these days. so i imagine the new unit would also become smooth with time. overall a pretty decent purchase for ~850 bucks.

should mention here that the old unit hasn't lasted for 3 years. i switched to HP wireless mouse for around 2 years in the middle. it still works fine but i wanted to get a backup unit. it went out of stock few weeks ago and i was worried that it was discontinued. but the listing became active again this week so ordered a unit.
