I bought a new Microsoft Arc Mouse as my Sidewinder one had died after 5 years loyal service. The editor is practically unusable with this mouse, infact the mouse is practically unusable with anything, the scroll wheel control doesn't work properly with it (infinite scrolling nightmares!). Hand hurt after 30 minutes usage too, never buy one! 

the logitech mx510/518s are really great mice. good shape and size, fits in your hand. they've been around for ages now. 

necros speaks truth. My back/shoulder/arm are ... to put it mildly, fucked up ... and those mice are still a joy to use. Good hand fit, lightweight, responsive. 

I have seen a lot of love for logitech mice but every time I have bought one it breaks or goes a bit crazy after only a few months. I tried a few at the computer store and I think I'm going to grab either a Razor Abyssus Mirror, CM Storm Recon, or Razer Deathadder... I put my hand on those and they're more like my old sidewinder. I think maybe my hand is so used to a big mouse that I can't go to a small sleek one (I wanted the arc for portability for when I grab a Surface Pro) 

that's odd. I have two mx510s, and only got the second because the first one had all the paint worn off-- it still works perfectly.

maybe you just had bad luck? 

No doubt it's bad luck but it's now become a bit of a superstition for me to avoid logitech mice (though I checked the website for the store and they don't have either of those models in anyway :P). I like the build quality of MS mice in general so me buying any other brand is a big deviation really. Anyway, cheers for the advice :P 

Logitech gives great guarantee and generous customer service. at least in Germany. I love their mice, best available. 

And they'll be my last.

Planned obsolescence is rampant in peripherals.
I also quit buying anything Sony, Phillips and Apple since those are terrible in that regard. The nerve some of these companies have in selling overpriced garbage... wish everyone would quit buying from such brands that so they could shove their fecal business models down their buttholes.

I bought a Razer Abyssus now, hopefully that one will last a bit longer. 

Every Logitech mouse I've owned has been a tank that will not quit. Not sure what you guys are doing wrong. :P 

They used to be good for me. Maybe it's because I don't buy the 80+ bucks ones. *shrug* 

...but this little logitech I'm handling(no fancy stuff, a very basic one) is with me at least since 2005... 

mx500 for ~5 years, didn't break, just got disgusting over time. now a 518 for 3 years with no problems. 

First wireless mouse I have bought, and it's very nice. Eats up the batteries, but I have eneloops and a smart charger, so I don't care. 

so I tried out the mice above in the store and then I caught a glimpse of a G400 logitech mouse in another part of the store, played with it for a bit and decided to buy it despite my poor experiences in the past (which were admittedly a long time ago). 

I bought a Logitech M100 a couple of years ago, it works so well I got a second one last month for my other computer - $10 at Walmart :) 

I don't know if this was an intended change but I liked in the previous versions that I could shift+click a surface to copy the texture and then make a brush with it. For some reason this no longer works! 

Okay, so in Quark if I made something like a trigger_push under the entity tab Quark would already have things like direction and force put in so you just had to add in the numbers/names you wanted there. Is it possible to have that added to Trench Broom? I think it's very helpful for first time and casual mappers who don't know or can't always remember the arguments for these things.

fuck 

It's not possible right now, but it's on my todo list. 

Oops - it will be back in 1.0.6 

Is it possible to make it so that when you vertex edit an object that the vertices on the back faces are not shown? The reason being that editing something like this is a terrifying nightmare!

Thing is, in many situations it's useful to see the back vertices too. I'll add this as a feature request. 

but as you can see in instances where you are editing terrain/rock I think it's best that all the back faces are actually flush. I really believe this is why I was getting bsp holes and HOM problems, I'm trying not to touch the back faces this time. 

yeah i did think that when watching daz's video. it is useful to see them sometimes but i imagine some kind of toggle would be handy
