Razer’s account management interface includes a “Human Verification” feature that encourages users to verify their identity through World ID, an identity system operated by Tools for Humanity. The feature is presented as a way to obtain a “human badge” and receive promotional incentives, including Razer Silver rewards, during normal account usage.

Anyone else had a knee jerk reaction to dump their Razer product in the trash before even clicking on the article?

[–] 51dusty@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

yes. luckily my viper ultimate is very old and starting to act weird.

any recommendations for alternatives? I need the mouse to be plug-in and wireless, so I can move between my office and field setup.

I think the Logitech super light might be a good option. Should have wireless and plug in for wired and charging

I'm not a fan of the bullshit they try to push every now and then, but the reality is that, at least for my use, all Linux based, for work and entertainment, Logitech has the best mouse out there (at least that I'm aware of) with the MX Master 3 (haven't tried the 4). The way I can scroll down large pages and spreadsheets and the side-scrolling wheel alone make it worth dropping my values and giving them money.

Now, if anyone has an alternative that meets the specs of that mouse from a brand with better values than Logitech (which should be pretty much any brand, lol), I would really like to know about it. I'd rather support a more customer-centric company, but not at the expense of having a worse experience.

MX Master 3 is the GOAT for productivity. Been testing it for 2 weeks now.

The 125Hz polling rate is a drag for fast gaming though (read up beforehand).

Get the Master 3S for silent mouse-clicks.

The Master 4 is reported to be a downgrade too.

I had to look this up right away! thought you were messin with me... ;p

[–] ElectroLisa@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not the same shape, but it is driverless and comes with two receivers in the box. It is expensive at $150 though

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Okay well have you tried the BLAMMO GFY-AYM2? Half the price and now with 50% less spyware!

[–] thatonecoder@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe an OP1we or XM2we?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Done long ago, because the mouse guzzled battery like a tank.
