How my mouse fetish changed overtime

During my career as a computer engineer, my personal preference for computer mice has changed a lot. I started with a wired Logitech, which I quickly discarded after switching to a MacBook touchpad.

However, I feel like using the MacBook touchpad (or any other kind of touchpad) made me hunch over a lot since I'm already a guy with a huge rib cage. My back hurt, and my shoulders were also stiff because of the excessive internal rotation of my shoulders.

That’s when I searched the internet for an “ergonomic mouse” and decided to buy a Logitech (yes, Logitech again) MX Master 3, the most ergonomic mouse at that time.

Do you see those 2 navigation buttons? I find them very useful when binding IDE navigation keys to them so I don’t have to switch back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse (yes, I’m that kind of person who likes to use the mouse only). 2 buttons are great, but how about more, I asked myself.

That is when I decided to go all out with a full T9 keyboard on the rear of the mouse. Meet Razer Naga HyperSpeed.

If you are like me, here are some notes:

• Razer does not have an official driver for macOS, but the binding can be installed directly on the firmware. So a workaround is to install your bindings on another Windows machine.

• In order for the flashy light on the back of the mouse to work, you will need to use another driver: https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos
