Why I Edit Photos Professionally With A Gaming Mouse

Key takeaways

  • No tablet. I edit most photos with a gaming mouse (from 0:00).
  • Programmable keys. Software lets you program keys per program (from 1:00).
  • Basilisk V3. 11 programmable keys, after years on a Lancehead (from 1:00).
  • HyperShift doubles your keys. Switch control sets instantly (from 3:00).
  • Map shortcuts and Discord. Photoshop shortcuts, plus Discord mute and deafen (from 3:00).

A surprise to some, but I actually don't use a tablet to edit my photos. I have been editing most of my photos with a gaming mouse and here's why.
