   My #ploopy mouse (open-source mouse made in Canada) has finally arrived. I have only been using it for 15 minutes so far, but I am pretty impressed. The 3D-printed surface doesn't bother me at all. The buttons feel fine and the scroll wheel is unironically the best I have had in over 10 years. The shape is very different to every mouse I have ever used, but I feel like I will get used to it fairly quickly.

   So far the only things for me to criticize are:
   - The forward button is harder to press than all the others, making it feel like there wasn't even a button there when I first tried pressing it.
   - The DPI seems to only be adjustable by initially compiling and flashing a new firmware. You can remap the button under the scroll wheel to switch between DPI settings, but it seems like there are no different DPI settings available by default (even though the firmware supports that).
   Both of these aren't really an issue for me. The forward button isn't *too* hard to press and I barely use that button anyway. The default DPI is great for desktop use, so for now I won't even bother modifying the firmware.
