I use some electronic safe foaming cleaner I get from work and that does the trick. For any detailed stuff like the scroll wheel I’ll use a toothpick or sewing needle to get into the grooves. I never spray the cleaning foam directly on the mouse, just apply it through lint free cloth. That seems to do the trick for me! I also picked up a carry case for when I’m transporting mine.

Damn, that’s a far cry from my experience with MX mice honestly. I’ve had my MX 2 from release and nothing like you’ve described happened to the coating on mine. I know some of that’s likely down to body chemistry, I have fairly dry hands and I keep my periferals religiously clean so perhaps I’m not the best example of an average end user.

As for breakage, again, nothing of the sort. My brother has a master 2s and my brother in law has the master 3 and neither of them have had any breakage except that I had to swap a puffy battery on my brothers one about 4 years in which isn’t unusual for lipos and liions that are kept at full charge for extended periods of time.

Again, not questioning your experience at all, we all have different situations that we use them in and I don’t know what yours is, but just wanted to share my personal experience.

The welsh are lovely! At least, I think they are, just wish I understood what they were trying to tell me.

For all their failings, Logitech master mice do tick most of your boxes.

I replaced the battery in my master 2 not long ago although I had to buy new skates for it it only took about 10 mins of work and the battery was a very basic, standard Li-ion, not custom hardware.

Not USB C to be fair but when you only have to charge it once a month or every 3 if you upgrade to a higher capacity battery is something I can live with personally.

I predict a riot…

Noooooo! The tech bros got hold of mass transportation!

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

For everyday use, sure, but for trolling they’re just excellent!

My old cat used to sleep at the end of my bed, always has done. However, I often kick out in my sleep which regularly resulted in my cat being shoved off the end of the bed and down between the wall at which point he would calmly make his way under the bed, hop back up and resume position without so much as a fuss. I tried keeping him out of my room for a while but he would sit and complain for hours until I let him back in. Still don’t understand that cat to this day lol

It originated from the Watergate scandal iirc. Watergate being the Watergate hotel but I guess water and gate are easy to separate and -gate kind of works as a suffix.
