It was very affordable (sub $20), came in lots of colours (including this lilac colourway that I love!), and is super comfortable too. The vertical mouse I used previously, a Ugreen one, had a narrower grip that was less than ideal.
The mouse is by “Sanwa Supply”, model number “GMAERGWBT22V” (V for violet I presume, it shows up at just “BT22” when pairing with Bluetooth), though I’m sure there are plenty of identical models from other brands.
The plastic finish is nice and will last a long time, as there isn’t rubber everywhere like on the ridiculously priced MX Masters. The buttons are silent and have a nice click, the side buttons for forwards/backwards are nicely placed, you can switch between 3 devices (two Bluetooth, one with the dongle), and the scroll wheel is nice (though not a metal one)
The mouse came with a magnetically attached wrist rest too, which is nice, and even without it, it does not suffer from the trailing pinky finger issue of other vertical mice. The magnets are strong enough where it isn’t super loose but not too strong where it’s hard to detach. It’s a nice bonus when I’m at my desk for long hours, and it can be removed if I need to pack it.
BUT one of the main reasons I bought it, aside from the fantastic colours, is that you can use it with a AA battery! No glued in nonsense, it’s super easy to swap it out, and the dongle is also stored in the battery compartment too (always a nice bonus). I use it with rechargeable IKEA Ladda batteries, and it’s been awesome.
Well then it’s purple and a lighter shade of purple colourway if you want to be pedantic
Read the link I posted. It explains the term “colorway” and how you’re misusing it. How most people misuse it. It’s like saying “ATM machine.”
It’s a technical term used in the production of textiles and other product manufacturing.
The terms you’re looking for are either “color scheme“ or “color palette“. Unless you want to discuss the means by which the item was manufactured.
Merriam Webster dictionary: a colourway is a colour or an arrangement of colours
I think it’s one of those things where the term has outgrown its original meaning! Like how the floppy disk icon is still used as indicators of saving despite nobody really using those anymore, and the term “out of fashion” isn’t restricted to specifically fashion anymore
Seems more like you just don’t want to admit when you’re wrong
That’s on you
Oops just checked the link, you might be right. It guess it does make sense that it’s the way colours are used rather than just what the colours are. The way part.
Sorry about that mate! I’ll amend the post then
