minus-squareMicrowavedTea@infosec.pubcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up39arrow-down3·9 months agoA mouse with programmable keys on the side. It’s so convenient combining control keys with mouse movements in one hand.
minus-squarebighatchester@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·9 months agoI have a mouse with 6 buttons on the side and it’s great for gaming.
