Lofree Touch Mouse - Block Version

I own one of these. They are surpassingly more comfortable than I thought, but I have small hands. I was disappointed by the full “beige” one called Tofu, that turned out to just be peach instead.

holy cow it's pretty. I feel like the screen should be e-ink and not OLED though.
- I think that e-ink should be way more prevalent than it is in this kind of application, it’s way underused
  
  I love the idea of e-ink, but I think this specific application is a prime one for OLED. it needs to be self illuminating.
  
  E-ink would definitely have looked cool as well on this, though most of the time you will not even see it since your hand covers it.
Does it have a ball?
- It does not, unfortunately. It’s really missing something for scrolling in the thumb areas in general. It’s the one thing missing for me that I have on my MX Master mouse.
  
  I don't think you're talking about the same thing.
- I think its optical.

This is more retro than futurism tbh
Lofree do some nice looking stuff.

- The block keyboard + mouse combo is indeed cool. I wrestled a lot with going for their keyboard but ended up going with some other options. I will likely show some pictures later.
I really wanna get one of these for the hypothetical cassette futurism PC build I wanna do, they're super cool looking
- My whole desk is around cassette futurism. Keep in mind this mouse may be uncomfortable for larger hands.
  
  I have smol hands!
love the large scroll wheel. is it free wheeling?
- It Is also missing a free wheel mode like my mx master.
  
  shame
Does it have middle click? You know, for Linux.
- my most frequent use of middle click is cross-platform - opening links in a new tab and closing browser tabs.
  
  I love selecting text on a page or different file then middle-clicking at the target for a quick copy-paste that bypasses the typical clipboard ctrl-c/ctrl-v pattern.
- I will check when I am back from the holidays. I rarely use middle click anymore, but I will let you know.
Reminds me of this model I recently saw on Printables:

- Well this looks amazing. Saving this for the futue!
