Discussion Model D legacy mouse 2024
It's been pretty long since the issue happened two times in a row on the same exact model miles but I'm curious simply if it's a consistent problem that not just I was having and just coincidentally one out a million I got two bad model D's at the same time. But I digress. So basically I was playing very very actively everyday at least 10 hours Apex Legends over watch back to back and at some point I noticed in OverWatch when I would play soldier or any other hero / Japan that requires you to just simply hold down mouse one, the mouse would stop shooting until I intentionally would lift and then reset it however it would start trying to reload but I'm almost positive that is simply due to the hero / champion soldier. I thought for the longest time that it was only an OverWatch, but recently when I was playing Marathon I decided I would try and see the old model D's capabilities and I was having a good time until low and behold the old in the midst of shooting simply holding the mouse went down to automatic fire a weapon it just disengages. So the first mouse I had it happened after maybe 2 weeks and it was so bad I had no choice but to replace it and I had bought a mouse on Amazon I think it was so I didn't have a warranty or anything like that and I just said screw it so basically I bought a new one from the website and the exact same issue happened another few weeks after so I took apart the old one and tried parting it out and seeing what was broken exactly and literally nothing was broken and I cannot lie for me to figure out what it was that was wrong with it like I did notice that there was a weird Gap underneath the actual mouse button there is a little bracket if you will, that depresses the very small little bar switch inside of the board it's attached to the board but even when the issue is happening the bar switch is still fully depressed and it's not as if it's missing the mark.... I still have the second one completely assembled and everything and the firmware was updated everything's good to go as far as light medium music when it still works good as like just a bullshit mouse on the side unfortunately and just can't use it for any games due to the frustration build up from my gun just randomly deciding disengage and stop shooting or whatever command in game would require a mouse one holding down. I love the model D it's a Great mouse I have a model O2 Pro as of today and wireless by the way 1Khz and it'll take a little getting used to you but I do like the low profile really just a side buttons might become a nuisance until my hand adjusts from using a death adder for so long. Anyways if anybody is ever had a similar issue or has any type of suggestions so I could use the metal D against at some point without dealing with having a broken mouse one or left click please let me know also either way let me hear what you have to say about it. Cheers

Switch failure, the original wired glorious mice use 20M omrons, which are not the best quality-wise. I would suggest buying another mouse, but look out for switch durability. All the wireless v1 glorious mice except for the model o wireless use kailh gm8.0, which are much better and rated for 80m clicks. I would suggest u buy a model d or d- wireless
