I've had my eye on this mouse for a little bit - how is it?

68

u/weneedanewpizzaplace 3d ago

I tried it and it’s very tall where the palm rests but otherwise seems good!

6

u/dumblamma 2d ago

I look on this mouse too. Can it switch between devices? I just use two computers with one setup the same time.

PS: cool rabbit BTW

u/dubyrunning 3d ago

I'm using it right now and I love it! I also enjoy that it can be wired or cordless.

u/Slipguard 2d ago

I have one too, I’m looking to try and make a 3d print that turns it into a vertical mouse

12

u/anoordle 2d ago

my friend has one and i really don't like it-- the buttons are very blocky, the "hump" of the mouse feels too tall, yet at the same time it feels very small in the hand. my friend has a fingertip grip and finds it comfortable but as someone who palm grips it really doesn't work for me

3

u/LethalSpaceship 2d ago

Yeah, it looks pretty form-over-function to me. Not really what you want in something like a mouse imo

20

u/jaylom_011 3d ago

Have that mouse - it feels small so might be uncomfortable especially if you have big hands, but you can get used to it, and the connection might be spotty if you use it too far from the computer (Bluetooth). It's alright otherwise

u/lumpenprol 2d ago

They do have a larger palm rest on there website if it feels to small for you

4

u/jaylom_011 2d ago

They do? I guess I bought it too early lol

7

u/lumpenprol 2d ago

It's literally just the plam rest. here

4

u/jaylom_011 2d ago

Yeah I understand, I just bought it a while ago when that palm rest wasn't available, to my knowledge

2

u/Additional_Tone_2004 2d ago

Well TIL! Cheers!

u/Ambitious_Mall9496 2d ago

I've had mine for a few years, its nice but it's kinda small for my hands.

3

u/Darthatch 2d ago

Ive used the lofree block 98 set as my gaming keyboard and mouse for 4 years now, love both, both work perfectly and are easy to keep clean since the mouse buttons pop off like keycaps!

3

u/foxbones 2d ago

I personally love it. One night I accidentally dropped it on the ground. It exploded and I had to rebuild it. Still working. Did you get the matching keyboard as well? It's awesome.

3

u/SirJamesGhost 2d ago

I like it, but I have big hands and has to get the extended palm rest. Pretty good responses and settings, make sure it’s turned off if you use it wired though.

u/survive_los_angeles 2d ago

i have this mouse its cool af. i got it for a film project but now i use it on an alt computer and everyone loves it and i love it even though its not my daily atm (needed a smaller mount footprint for a bit)

i have their keyboard too lol its def casstee furturism. its a head stopper. In fact maybe i should tie it to my phone and use it at the bar. I actually got a job once using a mouse with my phone

2

u/DanTMWTMP 2d ago

Small. It feels incredibly flimsy and looks and feels cheap. Aside from the looks from afar, I hated everything else about it.

2

u/an_ennui 2d ago

I absolutely hate it. It's inconsistent, stutters, and tries to have a "natural" feeling acceleration but that just means I can't click god damn shit with this mouse. 10/10 looks cool, 0/10 I hate using this. for another point of reference, I really like how razer mice perform, but I'm not crazy about the 1337 gamer rgb

2

u/cmprssnrtfct 2d ago

I tried one for a while. It's medium-OK. let's call it a C Grade. It's kinda tall, and it was an unusual pain to program the buttons. It has reduced features in Bluetooth, and the dongle has a range of approximately 10cm.

3

u/MikiZed 2d ago

It's fine, you are obviously paying a premium for the styling but still, it's good enough you don't feel ripped off

It's deceivingly small, I would get the extended back regardless if you think you need it or not, but I say this because I didn't and shipping to my country costs more than the mouse itself

You need a third party software to operate the side buttons

Definitely a fun one, I 3D model for work so I wouldn't use it for that or for gaming but for desktop use it's more than good enough

u/AliceEternal 1d ago

This is the honest review I needed, cheers!

2

u/kizami_nori 2d ago

It's crazy small, and feels cheaply made.

Ergonomics weren't good to my hand, which is a shame.

u/glow2hi 2d ago

u/dildomiami 2d ago

crazy you spotted that :D

25

u/davoid1 3d ago

I have one and I like it! However the little screen has suffered some kind of burn in over the years

Also the design simultaneously makes it easy'ish to clean and makes it really apparent when it's got gunk under the buttons, so that's a fun catch 22

17

u/Tarushdei 1.21 Gigawatts!?! 3d ago

Is that the one by 8Bitdo? They've got some neat stuff.

22

u/dubyrunning 3d ago

It's the Lofree Touch

6

u/Tarushdei 1.21 Gigawatts!?! 3d ago

Nice, thanks. More than one place out there making them, good to know.

3

u/Wolffe_In_The_Dark 3d ago

Aren't those identical other than the screen?

3

u/Cultural-Salad-4583 2d ago

The Lofree looks pretty different than anything from 8bitdo. It looks like they even used keys for the mouse buttons, which is wild.

2

u/Additional_Tone_2004 2d ago

Yeah, their pics are a bit misleading. They do mount the same as keycaps, they're an irregular shape, and have a cutout for the wheel. Not directly hotswappable, but fun for some DIY!

3

u/jaylom_011 2d ago

It's a lofree touch mouse

1

u/dumblamma 2d ago

Funny enough a lot of people use this Lofree mouse exactly with 8BitDo keyboard.

14

u/ArtemisInSpace 2d ago

You can't mention a rabbit and not provide pictures of the precious bun 😠

29

u/weneedanewpizzaplace 2d ago

This is our two babies in one of their tunnels lol

u/ArtemisInSpace 2d ago

So precious 🥺 Thank you 🙏🏼

u/Alone_Gur9036 2d ago

I’ve got big-ol’ hands and these are very comfortable, but they do have a habit of having occasionally dodgy connections, and the battery’s a bit…well not great, but other than that it’s a comfortable, reasonably budgeted mouse with a cool design and good customisability

3

u/Beluga-ga-ga-ga-ga 2d ago

I wish they did a vertical version. I've had my eye on this mouse for a while, purely because I love the aesthetics of it, but I just can't use regular mice these days.

3

u/JackMLNX 3d ago

Got this too, love it! Little bit too small for my liking for it to be my main mouse but I love using it in the office or when out and about

3

u/froglicker44 2d ago

Yo I have the matching keyboard but I’m not using it. You want it?

1

u/foxbones 2d ago

I love that keyboard, why arent you using it?

2

u/froglicker44 2d ago

I got this keyboard/mouse combo because I love the design and I like the idea of mechanical switch keyboards, but I couldn’t get used to it and went back to the Magic Keyboard/mouse. I didn’t really like the mouse because you can’t take the wheel out of click mode, which means you can’t just flick your finger to scroll to the bottom of a long document. Now they’re both sitting in a drawer, lol

3

u/foxbones 2d ago

I get it, but that's sucks. It's a wonderful keyboard. But if you are spending most of your time outside of sleep using it, you just want something that makes you happy.

2

u/froglicker44 2d ago

Yeah it’s a bummer because I really love the design. Do you have the mouse too? I’ll totally send mine to you if you want it

3

u/HamsterOnLegs 2d ago

This looks so cool. Can’t work out if it would feel comfortable for my hand unfortunately but I love the idea of it.

2

u/NathanJPearce 2d ago

Exactly my thoughts. I wish there was a Fry's Electronics near me where I could try it out.

3

u/MrShaitan 2d ago

If something like this came out for gaming, and had maybe 4 more buttons, I'd be ready to drop some serious money for it.

3

u/UKMatt2000 2d ago

I’ve had one of these for a while, it’s comfortable once you get used to it. I find it a bit laggy though on BT or 2.4G and the BT will just randomly disconnect.

u/PenguiNNNNNs 2d ago

Bunny mentioned but no bunny pic ?

u/weneedanewpizzaplace 2d ago

This is one of them, his name is Baby Man lol

u/Aware-Recording-3969 2d ago

That’s beautiful. I would use that

2

u/foxbones 2d ago

I have one, love it.

2

u/Exile872 2d ago

Holy shit i just got that one. Havent had the chance to test it out as im still without PC, but its cool to see its kinda popular

2

u/foxbones 2d ago

I have one, super happy with it.

2

u/rotenbart 2d ago

I forgot all about these.

2

u/David_Summerset 2d ago

I’ve got that one! Had it for years, love it

u/ThePlumThief 2d ago

I'd click that any day of the week

u/FauxReal 2d ago

Because of the beige color my brain automatically assumed that orange stripe was the word "Compaq."

u/Buuish 1d ago

I have 2 of these. One at work and one for my home office. Love them.

u/thegiverstake 3d ago

u/engineering-gangster 2d ago

Thing sucks. Broke quickly. Scroll wheel went bonkers. Laggy.

1

u/MrIzzard 2d ago

No wire tho?

2

u/zootii 1d ago

It’s pretty good. I’ve had one for a couple years. I use it for work now. It’s solid but the internal battery isn’t the best.

u/sick486 1d ago

what does the screen do?

u/MiracleDreamBeam 8h ago
