====== Grid's thoughts on mice ======

Modern mice aren't that good and we should discuss how to fix it.
For starters, have you seen an open-source mouse that is interesting and customizable? Ploopy is good, but it doesn't count, you have to resolder the switches, even if it's open.

===== Thoughts on closed-source mice =====

==== Asus ROG Chakram X Origin ====

  * Name's silly and long.
  * Delivery to Israel is a major pain.

  * I own it and can confirm that switches are replaceable.
  * RGB control isn't done through some easy to understand protocol. There are solutions, but they don't build on my system and I need to get to the meat of it, the protocol.
  * RGB lights may be used much better as notifications.
  * I should investigate why one such mouse died.
  * The battery is available, but not on AliExpress.
  * Joystick is kinda nice, but becomes the arrow keys on Linux and mouse isn't that balanced
  * The sensor doesn't work well on the black surfaces
===== Thoughts on an ideal open mouse =====

  * Open control protocol
  * An easy way to open the mouse and tinker with it
  * A battery that's easy to buy and replace
  * Replaceable switches
  * Easy to control RGB highlight of one zone, off by default, used for notifications
  * The sensor should recognise the black surfaces
