This is pretty cool. I make and 3d print pieces for my G502 to make it fit better for my hand/nubs. This seems like it has a lot of potential to design something better for me. That price is steep though but being disabled that's nothing new to me.

I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.

I keep thinking I should give a ploopy a shot but I've increasingly grown to like/need vertical mice and, like most ploopy related efforts, it is mostly "you CAN do it" with nobody ever having even tried because it requires pretty hefty redesigns of almost every part to mount things correctly.

Does anyone remember the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse? It had vertical thumb buttons instead of horizontal, and I loved that layout, but it's literally the only mouse I've ever seen like it. But now that I know there's open source mice out there, I might have to mess around and learn CAD so I can alter one of these mice to have vertical thumb buttons

No left hand options 😪

You need plastic that is more resistant to contact so that you don't end up covering your hand in microplastics. That material looks like questionable recycled plastics.

I'm also not giving up on wireless. I'd rather have an only bluetooth (slow?) mouse than a wired one.
