What do you want from gaming mouse software? If you’re anything like me, your immediate reaction to that question is probably ‘not much.’ But over the years, I’ve noticed that asking for ‘not much’ actually seems to be quite a lot to ask for, judging from over-bloated and over-complicated software that we’re often served up.We’re often given exactly the kinds of things people don’t want from their peripheral software.
