I didn't want to use amazon in the end. Their postage service is the same, and I wanted a company which is near who I can talk to any time and visit them easily if needed, and they are simply more flexible.
First of all, only being able to use 2 buttons at once is not seen as a good thing for everyone. Many people only want a 3 button mouse, but more of us would never buy a mouse with less than 5 buttons. Then there's the other extreme of those mmo mice with a whole keypad on the mouse, which I would also probably never buy.
Secondly, the point was that you cannot functionally switch to the other side even if you wanted, as the switch also switches the functionality of the two middle buttons.
Also, I didn't mention all the flaws in the FK, there are others like possible (depending where a person naturally grips the mouse) weight imbalance towards the back when used in fingertip grip. "Pixel walk" (inaccuracy) when moved slowly in the desktop environment.
And the mouse is not just "a smaller mouse". There are plenty of small mice that are still able to be palm gripped even by people with large hands. It's the particular contours of the mouse.
The WMO is a small mouse. The FK is significantly thinner than even the WMO.
[Sensor] Location and orientation: Exact centreDoes that mean that it's not as far up (close to the cord) as on the WMO? :( If it isn't (like LITERALLY EVERY modern otherwise good mouse alsdhfgladgh) I assume the WMO case mod would solve that, so I hope it's as easy as you say and look forward to the video \:D/

-What's the advantage of pre order -.- ?
if he can keep the good and old tech so go ahead and do that, it's fine!
Im just sensitive to input lag
I heard you can modify the WMO to use the Aurora PCB, is there more information about this?
Yes, you can do that. It does void the warranty and it isn't officially supported, its more something that I personally found and shared. I will post a video guide when I get a new rotary tool. Overall its a fairly easy modification to do, there are no special skills needed (like soldering), just some grinding away of plastic and some application of glue/putty.
Hope any change done via software setup works and its saved correctly.
Please note these are outdated photos, but the shape remains the same. The main difference is that on the final version, the logo glows, and the sides are no longer transparent
