Not necessarily. Buttons and switches introduce contact resistance, which in the case of the mushy Duracell buttons, is relatively high and also dependent on how hard they're pressed.

Ideally, the buttons are pressed very hard to ensure the entire contact area is closed, minimizing the contact resistance from the buttons. A good switch should have little resistance.

Poorly closing the contacts by not pressing the Duracell buttons very hard would result in higher contact resistance (because there's physically less contact between both halves of the switch), which means less current flows through the strip and less heat is generated. This would look identical to a deader battery with the buttons pressed well.

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

Why though? I thought impedance of the human body is lower at 50/60 Hz than at DC.

Also, holsters are a thing

I haven't, but I'm also an electrical engineer so I'm pretty familiar with the issue haha

Fun thing you can do, is open your mouse and look up the PN of your switch on DigiKey. Filter for components with the same package/footprint, then sort by actuation force. Get a few different ones and try them out. They sell good brands there.

I play a lot of shooters, so my left click is real easy to press, and my right click is ~3x harder.

If you have basic soldering skills and care enough to do this, the mouse buttons can be replaced for less than a dollar each. Not that this excuses Logitech's poor QA, but my ~~g502~~ g305 will last damn near forever if I keep replacing the switches like I have been.

Thanks for the reminder that English is dumb

Which includes practically all gun related content lol.

Most gun channels make their income from sponsors, who are companies in the firearms industry.

This is just Google's latest act of garbage, over-reaching, corpo censorship. Fuck em.

If I was a registered Democrat in Texas and actively didn't want Beto to win because of his anti-gun stances, why would I vote for him in the gubernatorial? I can't vote R, so best thing I can do is just not vote.

Biden is much less likely to succeed in pushing national level bans compared to Beto and state level bans, so voters who didn't vote for Beto might've later voted for Biden.

Also, presidential elections simply have a higher turnout.
