Oh, the model is abyssus v2. They are like 40$ used on ebay, similar to the Microsoft one.
Why do I have a razer mouse? I had to buy it at a big box store in a pinch and this was the only wired one they had.
To my surprise, this thing appears to actually have no planned obsolescence and it's still working after years and years of abuse.
So I think this model can join the old Microsoft Intelimouse on the list of mice that last forever.
I did have some issues with the scroll wheel and the middle mouse button, but they were fixed by just blowing air into the mouse and turning it upside down and slapping it to get some crud out.
My mouse is worn down to the plastic from too many Right Click -> Inspect Element

there are 2 types of man page
No manual entry for skelington
or
NAME
skelington [havxhc]{%^%%%},dffqq0&&&@“&” -jcndnknn
haha, this is a cool program i came up with on an acid trip in zimbabwe in 2014. it all started when i was charged by a wild GNU, which gave me a distaste for the acronym. anyway, that’s how i met richard stallman! he was shortly trampled to death thereafter, and i saw his “skelington” haha. and wow, the tool has really grown over time. let me document every single itty bitty tiny flag that 1 person on the fringe has ever used and never talk about the 99% usecase.
FLAGS
-a Wow, this one does it all really. Well except when you use it with -c, then it functions kinda like -d. be sure to put this flag last! there’s a data integrity bug otherwise (you risk rm -rf) good luck!
-b boy is this flag handy dandy, it adds bytesize slice info to the output buffer!
-c cake - this outputs CAKE in allcaps (mixedCase if you use -m), but the ordering is not consistent unless used with -o
-d delete
-o order things, including flags! flags are ordered last.
-m (not implemented yet) munge data (inject random data) so that tou can fuzztest your output, very useful for developing. fuzztest reads from /proc/fuzzy/boi and injects 1 datum of horseshit per bitwise integer! that way you can quantize your garbage instead of just shoveling it down ur throat (put down the cheetos)
-M this is actually supposed to be -m but for historical reasons it’s -M. anyways, it stands for “murder” - you figure out the rest

REPORTING BUGS
just don’t please, i barely have enough time to live as it is
EXAMPLES
fuck examples! this is a “man”page, not an “example”page. if you want examples, go ask reddit neckbeards, or catgirl hackers on discord. actually, nevermind reddit.
