Question 1

For the X15, where does your thumb rest? I thought in the middle gap but it looks too far back forcing your thumb to rest on the "512" row right?

Accepted Answer

This fully depends on hand size.  For me (with mid-size hands), my thumb rests on the open space.  The part of my thumb far away from the tip of the finger skims over the top extra button though - and so that button can occasionally be pressed by mistake if your hands are the same size as mine.

Question 2

does this mouse have notorious EVGA's scroll wheel design flaw?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does, it also disconnects from your computer off and on so you have to unplug it and plug it back in. The settings for the DPS change sporadically and other times it won’t register clicks then all of a sudden they all come in. I’ve been a razor fanboy for over a decade and just wanted to try something new, But after two bad purchases over the death adder. I decided to try a new mouse, this was an incredibly stupid decision to go with this one. This mouse is just such a letdown, apart from the issues it’s not even comfortable to use, the profile is low so I can’t relax on click em games my hand is always poised up which causes cramps during long sessions. Overall just not a good alternative to other brands. I still have found any decent ones to replace my beloved deathadders.

Question 3

I need to change a button function to "ctrl d", can i do that?  i already bought the mouse.  using evgaforum/website is painful and not user friendly.

Accepted Answer

Combinations of keystrokes requires that you create a macro first, then you can assign that to a button.

Open the Unleashed software.  Click on the tab for "Macro Editor."  On the left side of the window is "Macro Library" and there is a greyed out button for "Add+"--click add.  It will add a "New Macro" to the list.  Double click the name to change it, then enter to save the new name.  Now to record, with that macro selected you click on the greyed-out "Record" button in the center, then use the keyboard actions you want.  Click "Record" again to stop recording.  Note, you need to be careful to not do any other clicking anywhere with the mouse or it records that also (you can edit those out, it's just easier to be cautious).

Now that you have your go back to the tab for "Key Assignment" and select the button you want to use.  The pop up for assigning keys has a little down arrow, click that.  To the left of "Macros" in the list is a down arrow, click that to see your list of macros.  Click on your new macro.  Click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the window, and your new macro should work.

Question 4

Will evga redesign the scroll wheel so it's not total garbage?

Accepted Answer

Lawl. Not likely. The entire mouse turns to garbage after a while. Loses connection, sensor stops sensoring. But for the scroll wheel, unplug the mouse, hold it upside down and scroll the wheel with firm pressure. Somehow how that seems to sort it out.
