Either/or, certainly the batteries weigh a lot but even on
the MX300, it had a metal weight in it... the 510 does too,

Thanks - shame there's no rodent to match a Logitech. So, how do I
remove it?

The link?

It's just a matter of unscrewing screws till the weight is
out.


Sorry, Dave, didn't read. I weighed the 510 and it's 120g (which means the
batteries were taking up 50g or nearly a third of the total weight) and the
weight is only 13.5g (according to the article) does it really make that
much difference?


"That much" is relative, it made no sense to me to push
around an extra weight constantly unless you just wanted the
exercise?

I've found that mice which are too light are harder to control. I've
got large hands though, that might make a difference.

Could be, though it might depend on how you're used to using
it... I move mine with only thumb and ring finger, minimal
to no wrist movement at all. That does require a fairly
high DPI sensitive mouse though... but these days all that
means is anything better than Logitech's cheapest/lowest
optical series.

I find that strains my hand and causes pain within a couple days -- I
generally move the mouse with a combination of my arm, and wrist
(although I avoid wrist movement, but it's needed for fine control)

I don't. Mine stopped growing around 21 years ago (when I was 7!)

The only disadvantage of optical mouse:

Try flinging it really quick left and right and you'll notice the cursor
doesn't go full length on the desktop as it should. I am still using a
cordless ball for this reason cuz I game a lot. Yes opticals are accurate
if you don't move em too quick.

To avoid dust and gum on the ball, buy a 3M mousing surface. I haven't
cleaned my ball (singular) for 3 years and there's no gum on the rollers
when I checked.


An optimal mousing surface can help anyone, though modern
optical tech (like Logitech MX series) has made great
strides to reduce the "flinging" problem you mention.
Comparing a 3 year old basic Logitech 400DPI mouse to an MX,
they're quite a bit more accurate and less prone to jump
around.

So can we dump all those batteries off at your place?

That's why we have landfills.

I can see you haven't thought this out, the bigger picture.
