Bloody L65 Max: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-27
Summary
Owners report occasional build and compatibility issues, including a mouse that stuck when scrolling down after about a month, Linux problems, and confusion over the Hz and LOD switches. Running costs are low because the mouse is wired with no consumables and the software is free. At a low purchase price the spec-to-weight ratio is competitive; at higher prices better-documented mice are safer.
Common problems and fixes
- Scroll wheel sticking downward — one owner reported the mouse becoming stuck when scrolling down after about a month while working when scrolling up, and submitted it for warranty. [11]
- Confusing Hz and LOD switches — owner discussion shows the bottom Hz and LOD (mm) switches and the software’s “Core 1–4” profiles are not self-explanatory. [10]
- Unspecified sensor problem — a separate Reddit thread about a “Just bought a Bloody L65” unit references an unspecified sensor problem. [13]
- Dust in honeycomb shell — the shell is open honeycomb; keeping it free of dust is advisable, and cleaning guidance is not published. [1]
Parts and consumables
- No replaceable parts or consumables reported. [1][3]
Yearly running cost
The mouse is wired USB with no batteries or consumables, and the software downloads are free, so a typical owner spends nothing beyond the purchase price and electricity. No yearly filter, pod or subscription cost applies. Warranty service requires the purchaser to ship the mouse to Bloody if a claim is made. [4][14]
When it is a good buy
Bloody’s North America warranty is 1 year. [5][6][7][4] Alternatives: L65 Max Naraka carries the same sensor and spec block with Naraka-themed styling and a single Naraka colorway, so choose by color and theme preference. [12]
