#ploopy mouse (https://ploopy.co/mouse/) review 4/10
After getting frustrated at the electronics waste I'm generating by cycling through computer mice every 3-5 years, I decided to grab a kit for the highly repairable #ploopy mouse.
With three months of use, I find it _tolerable_. I'm trying my damnedest to like it, which pains me to say because I would love a truly open mouse.

Let's start with the positives. It's pretty repairable. Replacement electronics are easily sourced and the 3D printing STL/STEP files are public. It uses the programmable and open source QMK firmware and has a plethora of buttons. Assembly was relatively straightforward. One throughhole component to solder and otherwise just cleaning up some 3D printing mess and screwing a few things together. Probably about an hour of assembling a kit with good instructions.
