I was wondering what Jow Forums would consider as a Linux power users mouse of choice?
What would it be?:
>Wired?
>Wireless?
>Laser?
>Optical?
>Trackball?
Or other?
What type mouse do Linux power users use?

For me it's a PS/2 Logitech Trackman.
Hey, dumb faggot, do you use Xorg and a window manager to render windows on the screen? You use a fucking GUI. The number one way to tell someone has an IQ under 60 and is completely tech illiterate is when they use i3/dwm and say they don't use a graphical interface.

Just find a mouse you’re comfortable with you raging faggot.
Tyler Torres
10 dollar wireless logitech mouse

I know everyone here is saying "no mouse" etc.
>limiting yourself to using only keyboard
I swap between my wired G403 and some generic trackball mouse depending on what I want to do.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Between the Elecom Deft, Deft Pro, and Huge, which trackball should I get?
Matthew Johnson
unironically I like trackpads/touchpads, the ones that come with laptops and external too. They are comfy.
Jaxon Campbell
I'd love if there was a Xorg thing like qutebrowser's f

Been using Linux for 7 years and I was a netadmin for 5 years before that.
I use a controller for gaming, trackball for rare GUI usage on my network console.
Vertical mouse for web browsing, palm sized mouse for travel.
All wired, and I haven't use windows for work or home in at least 5 years.

Linux users are too poor to afford mice so they use keyboard only. Poor cucks
Kayden Powell
For me it's the Elecom Huge
Joseph Hill
I use a shitty wireless logitech mouse

This bad boy.

I used a trackball for a year, they're not bad (and surprising easy to get used to), but a mouse is way better for anything that requires real accuracy so I switched back.
Trackballs are certainly fun to use, and they're perfect if you have limited space for a mouse for whatever reason.
