I tried to repair my DeathAdder but I had the soldering iron too hot and I destroyed the contact pad under the microswitch. 💀 I tried to take some solder mask off the trace and bodge it but I made such a mess that I just gave up on it. With better desoldering technique, it would have been straightforward. Lesson learned!

I actually liked the DeathAdder and have had almost 3 of them. I just mainly meant to knock their build quality.

But that said, the lifespan of all mice is kinda bullshit. I haven't had single mouse last more than a year in almost a decade. Either the left click starts getting glitchy or the mousewheel's encoder starts to go. I've used Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, Xtrfy. My Xtrfy M42 wireless's left click is starting to get inconsistent now (holding LMB will randomly release, and the microswitch is bouncing on click).

How many miles do you have on it though? I see these kind of comments all the time on Reddit, and there's a big difference in how many hours per day people use their hardware for, and how much typing/clicking people actually do.

It's just another reminder what a greasy company Razer is. They should be avoided because their products are mostly crap, sold at high prices. I remember taking apart my Deathadder about 8 years ago after the left-click went on the fritz, and it was the crappiest, low-quality PCB I've ever seen in a product. I never bought Razer again after that.

Edit: To elaborate, they could have spent like 5 extra cents to get a nicer PCB, but they didn't. The mouse was really nice on the outside, but they cut every expense on the inside.

Here's my technocrat dream: we get Mark Carney as PM to fix all our economic woes (anemic growth, housing market, crappy resource-based economy that leans too much on oil/gas), and then get Andy Byford to replace Doug Ford.

Zelenskyy was democratically elected. And it was when the Ukrainian people ousted the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych in outrage that Russia decided to invade an annex Crimea. None of that had anything to do with the US, or any threat to Russia.

You write from like a 1980's Iranian propaganda worldview, which opens the possibility that you're not strictly a Russian misinformation trollfarm worker, but could be working for another country. Either way, your training completely sucks and is so ridiculously out of date and out of touch with the decade we're living in that nobody in the West could possibly take anything you write seriously.

The other 3 never had to contend with the hyper-polarizing brainwashing machine that is Facebook and other social media platforms. That's the difference.

you forgot to shoot somebody

CIA allegiant? lol

Thank you!

Cheers for the legit reply. I have to seriously reassess my packing and backpack choice.

Hence the AMA request - I don't think a single person would ever buy these fares because they're completely unpractical. What kind of travel can you do where you don't have a carry-on?

edit: good replies from the other commenters show some answers instead of just snark!
